Checking in: how are you?

Museum im sorry you got some bad neighbours, could you get the police to speak with them? I think disturbing the peace is a thing?

Unless i made it up

I'm doing okay. I slept really well last night.

Doing ok today. Wrote out this big post about something that was bothering me and in the 3rd paragraph realized that I had the answer in there...just didn't realize it. Y'all ever do that? lol Kinda laughing at myself as I deleted it.

posting it can still help, someone else might think of something you hadnt typed

Oh that made me laugh (the kiddy rollercoaster) but it’s a good visual analogy.

Yes I have to be careful with news these days too, even the local news can be a trigger for anxious thoughts.

Does anyone have any tips for getting enough information while not getting triggered? I find the old fashioned newspaper (I read a sensible quality one) is okay as I can pace myself. Internet isn’t so good as I just keep scrolling.

Hope people are okay today, I was a little under par physically but doing okay.

Yes, Discombobulated, I think newspapers are a good way to go. Or check major news outlets online; that way, what you choose to delve into is entirely your own choice.

I have to be careful how much network news I watch, and I definitely cannot do it right before bed or as soon as I'm awake.

I figure, the bulk of the world ignores me anyway, and seems to carry on without me as it always has.

*puts museum on a pedestal* (spelling)

I'm a little better today. I made the mistake of re reading some poems I wrote and it made me very sad. I did some sketching and writing to try to clear the cob webs. I'll leave it in T's office without him noticing.

willowtigger heading into dissassociation

I am tired. I woke up at 4:30 this AM. I'll try to get to bed early tonight.

I just got out of school. I'm listening to music and puttering around the internet.

Made a major nosedive today. I found out from an offhand comment made at my pdoc's office he is retiring next week. I freaked out at the time, but calmed down since then. I still feel like someone pulled the rug out from under me though. I've been seeing him since 1997! That's longer than I was married. The nurse practioner in his office is going to pick up my case. I only see him every six months for med checks, but still....

Uggh!! I remember when my T said he was retiring. What a nightmare! I had been seeing him for a long time, too. He became like a grandfather to me(probably not a good thing) You're strong...I'm sure it will be hard, but you'll be ok.

Thanks CallaLilly. You are right. I will be okay. It's the suddenness of it and all the other changes in my life the last year.

Liz we love you

Im worried, what if Willow dies at the vet tomorrow afternoon?

Willow, please stop focusing on negative "what ifs". It won't have any impact on things that might not even happen and makes you miserable.

I'm slightly under the weather. Its the same throat stuff thats been going on. I have a couple thyroid nodules that I had a biopsy on last summer and they were benigin, but for awhile I've been getting this sore throat at night when I lie down. Now I have a prominent cough and my voice is hoarse. I had a dream last night where I needed my tonsils out so I'm guessing my throat was bugging me in my sleep too. My mom said "maybe it is your tonsils." I'm just worn out again too but not really anxious or depressed.

I started my first dose of Britellex my new anti depressant last night. Here’s hoping it works …. I’m currently on efexor and it hasn’t done much besides cause weight gain which is not what I need.

I go back to work full time tomorrow after having been part time for 2 years. I’m so nervous.

willowtigger has no self confidence and no self esteem (accurate self esteem she should say)

good luck hitch

I'm good. I had a good day starting in the AM. We are getting some snow, but I'm glad I got home okay. There were a lot of accidents on the road
Now I'm listening to music and drinking some hot cocoa.

Definitely hanging in there. Sadness mixed with patient hope, & I did some extra things today.

Have to catch Willow within the next 15 minutes, scared in case her legs fall off like her furs have been doing

Tiggers bad leg might one day fall off, dont want that to happen either

I felt decent when I woke up. I took an Advil for my throat. I wasn't coughing much. I went for my 3 month blood work around 8. I was feeling kinda sick, like nauseated wise. but I drank a big half sweet/half unsweet tea from Sonic and it made me feel better. Currently I'm freezing under 2 blankets and I have a hoodie and a hat on. My temp is 96.4. So idk if the heat is broken or something. I'm craving peanut butter but I'm not really hungry for actual food. I'm not in bed at least right now. I'm in the family room watching room TV.

Home now from the vets, Willows had a injection, they said it could be hormone things, if the injection doesnt work they said they will do a blood test

Not sure yet what will happen if it is her hormones, it might explain her moodiness if it is hormones?
