My depression has been unusually mild this winter. Ever since December when people started getting vaccinated my spirts were lifted and I felt hopeful again. And perhaps my IOP did actually make a difference. I’m not thinking much about my old T. Those few days early this week and all of last week were rough but I think I’m better now. I have been thinking about therapy a lot though but today it’s just been “I need to tell new T that.”

I am worried that COVID 19 will be lurking around for years to come. I believe I will never feel safe around people again. My anxiety about COVID got magnified today way beyond what it's been. Now I'm getting depressed about having this much anxiety.

I'm feeling overwhelmed by everything I have to do today. I still have self-care and pet care to work on. Plus I need to clean my living room. I feel really stressed and it's depressing me.

My depression hasn’t been too bad. I have the curtains, blinds, and windows open and it’s very nice. Ever since I stopped seeing my old therapist I haven’t had any of those types of bad thoughts and I’ve had a different perspective on life.

Hugs to those above who have been not feeling too great. Me neither. I'll try this afternoon and evening to get a few things accomplished.

Typical Saturday. It seemed like I got all of things I needed to get done in an earlier fashion, which was good. But in the afternoon I felt like I had a little too much time on my hands. Though I took a nap and went out like a light. I guess I have a way of cramming everything I have to do on Saturdays in the early morning.

Kind of slow and boring right now. Nothing going on for the rest of the day and tonight.

I've been busy all morning but I'm caught up. So that is good.

I feel incredibly lonely and depressed right now. I feel like I am a failure, I am pregnant and sick and do not have a good job or any people around me to provide the support and love a child deserves. I don't know how I have failed at everything, I really did try.

Nothing much this morning. Did some light work in my place and that's about it. A cloudy day outside but I doubt if it's going to rain. It's pretty nice to just be in my place and not do much for now. It sure feels much nicer than being at my job. I've been thinking very heavily about what will it be like being retired, which could happen to me sooner than I think. The one big reason why retirement is appealing to me is so I don't have to go to that job I'm not crazy about anymore.

Felt content today. But I still wasted the day, just sitting in front of the TV. The recliner just felt so comfortable. All I seem to care about is being comfortable. Had a nice late lunch.

I've got things to do. I just keep saying tomorrow is soon enough. I'm thinking of getting a dog. Saw a cute one on the Humane Society web page. Ten years old. So it wouldn't be a long commitment on my part.

I went to the mall yesterday and was rudely ask by four worker to get out after the fifth worker said I could come in even with a hoodies face shield on. I threaten to sue because I can’t wear the mask due to my hearing disability because it interferes with my hearing aids and I have asthma. I felt attack. I went to my other favorite store and was ask to leave. I felt hurt, humiliated, discriminated against.

Today I had a meltdown. I was so stressed that I cried for about 8 - 10 minutes. I'm upset at how fearful I am. It makes me very sad. I'm trying my best to cope with it.

I'm so sorry, @Deilla! You've had a lot of things to deal with lately & it's just too much. I hope that things will get easier for you soon. Hugs & love to you!

@Breaking Dawn, thank you! I'm going to relax for the remainder of the day. I might even take a nap. I hope you are doing well, my friend!

It seems that each time I have a sinus infection or respiratory infection it triggers both of my rare diseases. Daily check in thread:Ups and Downs #29Daily check in thread:Ups and Downs #29Daily check in thread:Ups and Downs #29

Thursday, March 11th 2021- I have my consultation with my new immunologist. I have my fingers crossed Daily check in thread:Ups and Downs #29 that he will be a provider that listens.

Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria- I’ve tried several antihistamines over the years and the only one that works for CIU is hydroxyzine...unfortunately it’s a sedative.

Xolair is not a good match for me...it’s too risky in regards to the side effects and other autoimmune diseases that I have.

Hereditary Angioedema-I have one Firazyr injection remaining. My previous immunologist did not feel comfortable prescribing me a preventative medication. He said, the side effects were too much for my health.

I’m having a day of extreme frustration.

I’m tired of itchy chronic hives, not regular hives that feel like my skin is on fire Daily check in thread:Ups and Downs #29 covering my whole body and face.

I’m tired of my face, feet and hands looking like I was jumped into a gang.

I’m also tired of fatigue, sore throat and runny nose.

I’m tired of having so many chronic illnesses that finding treatments is difficult.

I’m also so hurt that I’ve lost multiple family members. The grief is so real. I know my ancestors are in my corner and watching over me but the pain of missing my family members hurts deeply.

I’ve been continuing to eat Daily check in thread:Ups and Downs #29 fresh fruits, vegetables, drinking a lot of water and non-caffeine herbal teas. Hoping this sinus infection will pass which would calm my flare ups. I purchased a new Fibromyalgia cookbook. I’m looking forward to feeling better and being able to cook the recipes.

Hi, @Cocosurviving, I hope your new immunologist listens to you. He should. You sound very knowledgeable. And I'm so sorry you have lost so many loved ones. I know how painful that is, & it takes a long time to adjust, even to lose one. I wish you luck & spiritual guidance. Please stay in touch & let us know how things go, ok?
