daily check in for women

I talked to my doctor about what I thought was high blood sugar. She said that's not what's making me sick. She thinks it's my heart. So I'm going to see a cardiologist on Friday. She said my blood sugar numbers are Okay. That's one thing that makes me happy. I don't have to worry about giving up some of my comfort food then. I guess I'm good as long as it is somewhat healthy.

it's been a difficult 24 hours.

1 panic attack, several flashbacks and 2 absences.

ugg. I am feeling quite drained from it all.

today feeling a bit on edge. no real reason, I just am

I ended up in the ER for 6 hours yesterday because of chest pain and shortness of breath. I was also very light-headed. The tests came back normal. So I was relieved. I have more testing to do but my cardiologist will take care of that. I see him tomorrow.

I missed my appointment. I overslept and woke up with a migraine. So my appointment is scheduled for next week. Today I picked up meds and took my trash out. So I feel like I've had a productive day. But my head has hurt most of the day. I will probably go to bed soon. Hopefully, I will sleep.

My migraine lasted for over 24 hours. Today I feel good. I feel healthy. I slept last night. I went to bed really early. I'm up early and I'm looking at recipes online. I'm thinking of doing some cooking. I want to make a semi-vegan beef stew. It has all the vegetables, the broth and very little beef. I've been cutting back on animal protein.

I've been so-so. I ate too many carbs over Thanksgiving and the day after and it's made me very tired. It seemed to have a negative effect on my mental health as well, as I felt kind of distant from the world. I'm trying to get back into my normal eating patterns and hoping that will be helpful. Hopefully this will be a bit of a lesson to me so when Christmas comes around I don't overdo the holiday food quite as much.

How is everyone else? Sending good vibes to you all.

I tried to unplug for a while. I went for three hours with no phone or computer. I was able to clean off my desk. I think I will unplug again. It's more relaxing. Less stress. Less triggers.

I'm doing ok. I watched some nature & animal tv shows earlier, very sweet. I wanted to accomplish some things, but so far I'm apparently taking it easy.

I'm hanging in. I'm feeling pretty angry today and I'm not really sure why.

I've been stressed today. I'm trying to relax now. I had an appointment.

I am in pain.

shower = pain.

and this time, their's no part of me that escaped the onslaught of agony.

this gal's body is getting worse..... though she's slightly excited about getting a delivery of a new laundry basket today so she doesn't have to bend down so far to reach the other one

small pleasures..

I'm doing my morning routine, which is hard today. I have a migraine.

I'm not sure how this works as I'm new to the forums.

I am struggling big time today. My anxiety is through the roof and every thing is getting so me. I should be doing things but cant motivate myself to do it.

so my laundry basket (the one I was expecting) turned out to be a bigger version of what I all ready had.

of course I thanked the person who sent it me, but uggg. not much relief sadly

mcdonalds last night.. that was enjoyable. I liked it- highlight of my otherwise **** week

today someone asked me if I wanted to go and see the switching on of her christmas tree

but I am feeling depressed, anxious about an appocalypse and didn't sleep, so told her I'd pass

plus: she wanted to do it at 6 PM, which is when I eat dinner... so it would have caused issues around messed rooteen

I'm trying to relax today. I'm stressed out about chores, but I'm trying to do the best I can. My mom said she will help out one day. So I'm happy about that. For the remainder of the day, I will decompress and do fun things.

I'm stressing a bit because I have to mop my floor and I know that doing so will cause back pain. I did take Advil, though; maybe it will help. It doesn't usually, but fingers crossed. xx

back pain's never fun beth... hope the meds help!

so the lady who had her tree turned on last night showed me a video of it and it was beautiful- I am glad she managed to do it despite the cold weather (she has it outside her house)

my dinner was nice yesterday- I had scampi with naan bread (loadso f naan bread, even too much for me to eat)

spent the evening watching tv: first the chase, then a programme about funny tv moments of the year.. not as funny as I thought but their were some fun parts

no sleep (mainly because of back pain) and today I'm annoyed since the friend who I talk to a lot is out all day at some volunteer thing, and another one ended their friendship with me because I complain too much and he can't handle it- fair enough I suppose but my support network is all ready extremely frajile.... I don't really have anyone

no plans for today (as usual), guess just wait to eat dinner

fun

I'm not feeling well today. I did some stress eating last night and I woke up with a migraine. I tried my best to deal with it. I managed to take my trash out and wash the dishes. I have one more task to handle. I may wait until tomorrow though.

I know you're very familiar with pain . The Advil, surprisingly, did help. I just get so tired of being in pain.

I really feel you.

I don't share with many people, but I see.. in the not too distant future, a life where I am wheel-chair bound

it's been discussed by a few professionals too, so we'll just have to see how that plays out

again not much today

watched my soap opera, opened my advent calendar, about it..

I can't sleep tonight. I'm really worried about my cat. She's been sick lately.

I'm so sorry ladies about your not feeling well. I am feeling a lot better, thankfully.

I'm doing better today. And my cat got all patched up at the vet's office. I feel hopeful and optimistic.
