@BeyondtheRainbow
Sending healing and calming vibes your way! Do let us know when you can but take your time. @Jennifer 1967 That is a high fever and I’m glad you have that appt today. Good luck and I am sending healing vibes your way. @otroo When my first husband passed away I felt the same. The fact that you did not wake up in the middle of the night for once means that yes, you are healing. Give yourself grace and kindness. Don’t hold yourself to a timeline; everyone grieves differently. I believe it took me around 2 years to stop crying on anniversaries. And I don’t cry. Sending healing vibes your way as well!

My son is still pretty sick. It’s just a random virus or a nasty cold I guess but it’s really taking him down. I will be doing program virtually today and keeping him home from school. Hopefully another day of rest will help him feel better. I hate when he’s sick, I worry so much. I was afraid to go to sleep in case he needed me. I only took one seroquel because I didn’t want to be completely knocked out should he need me in the middle of the night, but he slept through.
The gabapentin didn’t seem to make me nauseous this time, we’ll see after I eat breakfast. I didn’t go to sleep nauseous so that’s an improvement. The dr told me to take the inderal as needed but when I don’t take it my heart rate jumps to 100+ so I guess I need it. Today begins my low fat diet which I hope will help with whatever stomach issues I am having. I’m having trouble bingeing which I do believe is due to gallbladder but the ultrasounds never show stones so I guess I’m waiting for my GI dr to do her thing. I have an endoscopy scheduled for the end of June to start with. I seem to be coming down from the mania but I’m still spending so I need to rein that in. I’m trying to take a minute to think first. I did buy bigger shorts for the summer, I know the ones I have won’t fit right now. And a nice white shirt for a bridal shower I have coming up on Saturday. It’s unfortunate that it is a wine tasting, I guess I need to stay away from the reds

The cat is at the vet now. I hope he tolerates the anethesia well and they don't make him look too bad. I maintained my weight from yesterday. I was concerned about the carbs but it worked out. I am working on eating more later in the day then eating most of my calories before noon and basically be starving the rest of the day. So far I've done ok today with my hunger. I switched my meds around on Friday with my doctors permisson and it seems to have made a difference in my moods and anxiety but I do seem to be more hungry. I've been using a lot of distraction and drinking unsweetened iced teas. I hope I get used to the change. I have my trip tommorow and I have my dinners planned out but I'm still unsure on the rest of the days. I'm thinking all the moving around will help since I barely leave my house.

I am so thankful because the forum exixsts.  I have done the dishes, visited a cafe and been on a walk in a park. As a coincidence, just fit for my situation, I found an article on my phone about how hurtful it is to not feel noticed when among others. It is a cruel thing to put others down by letting them feel that they are an outsider to you. I feel better, but at the same time, I have some sort of heaviness in my body, as if I have something really heavy to carry, and so I have! It is good that a therapist is waiting later in the week. For now I am resting. After that I plan to put away my Easter things and then make dinner. I will shower before bedtime and make myself ready for a trip in nature, tomorrow, with other friends then those I met yesterday. Sending good wishes to all!

Hubby and I are taking it easy this morning and will go into the city in the afternoon. We walked a lot yesterday, despite me wearing dressier than usual shoes, which I'm not used to. My feet now hurt. Only Skechers sneakers today!
I thought getting into the city from Newark would be easier and quicker. It could be if we took the train (NJ Transit) to NY Penn Station, but instead Hubby wants to take the subways the whole way (PATH with transfer) since it's cheaper by $4 each, each way. I told him we must do the train on the night we're going to a concert. I want to wear a dress that night. For someone whose never taken a NYC subway, it is an "experience" of sorts, but after decades of going into the city now and then, they are just now miserable.

Jennifer, I hope your appointment went well today. I hope your doctor can make you feel better in addition to a diagnosis.

Aw, poor kid. I hope he starts to feel better today. It's good that you stayed home, that will give him comfort. My "kids" are in their 30's, but I still worry about them. I don't think it ever stops.

My cat came back from being groomed and he looks like a drowned rat. But at least he isn't matted or smells bad anymore. I am so anxious right now. I want a chli cheese dog and an order of chili cheese fries so badly. I have throat and mouth anxiety which is never fun. Its making me even hungrier. This extreme hunger has been going for like 4 days and all I can do is continue to use distraction and eat low carb and high protein stuff and try not to deny myself anything. It sucks though.

I went to the dermatologist. I originally had a heat rash in several areas from being out in the sun. When I showered that day, I used some lemon verbena soap from Trader Joe’s and had an allergic reaction on the heat rash spots that caused them to be red, raw, blistered, weeping and welted. Oh boy, did it hurt. Most of the problem slowly started going away but I have a few areas that deteriorated and became badly infected. I feel like such a dope. The fatigue, pain, fever and what I was seeing should have prompted an immediate visit. I failed to see it. Fortunately, we have a course of treatment now and I am on the proper things to resolve this. Thank you all for your concern. A valuable lesson learned. Know when to seek help.
I hope everybody has a peaceful evening. Hugs to all!

I hope the treatment acts quickly to resolve the agony you've been through. If you continue to have problems, will you please go back to the doctor? Take good care of your wonderful self, Jennifer And thanks for checking in. I was really concerned about you, especially because you tend not to put yourself first.

Beth have a good session
Soupe, have fun in nyc All that preparation and I hardly slept! I have a little window after I take my meds. I need to put the book down and turn the lights off and empty my mind. But last night I read too long and then I thought about a ton of stuff instead of doing my zen mind and I was mostly up all night. The thought of going out, it was below 32F just to get in a pool , 🥶 no. But I did go to fitness class. I really don’t want to add a med at this point though so I’ll see how it goes tonight. Maybe Tuesday night? I just started the new dose of 17.5 so not yet if I can help it.
