How Are You Feeling?

[Jaymn]

Man, it looks like we HAVE all been down. Sucks. Hope we all start feeling better.
I felt calm all day. I got to do some exercise because my energy level was up some.

[lisalou]

feel really tired and burnt out from all the stress of the last couple of weeks. my body is really bearing the brunt of it,am in so much pain,bladder and IBS are really bad,constant headaches and nausea. anxiety levels still way up high - constantly poised for disaster!

Sore shoulder today.

With the broken leg (my driving leg) I was still hoping to be able to drive for when I go on holidays, early in October. From what others are saying I am now doubting that will happen. Really bummed out with that news.

I have travelled with the person who is coming with me, before.
I like to drive, she likes to navaigate.
Guess this time the roles might be switched around.

You do whatever it takes, but do take that vacation.

Feeling very stressed ... yet I don't have too much to be stressed about

[crystalgaze]

Ah AJ... It happens, so don't be too hard on yourself, ya? Just see if you can do damage control with it....

I am calm today.... after hitting my reset button a few days...

(It's good for my heart, so I am grateful for that.)

Doesn't take a lot to create stress. Just go slowly and know we are here for you.

Me, will say I am staying busy today, busy hands dulls the mind and thinking, I believe. Lots of mixed emotions with lots of things, but you know life does go on and I really need to deal with somethings, let somethings go and try to live a less stressed and worried day. Note I said day. One at a time works for me.

My Mother always said, "In every negative there is some positive." Time for me to do as "Mama" said, start looking.

Really hope everyone is doing a little better, in thoughts and day.

Wenesdays and Fridays are my special days.

My mom goes to a day program at a local nursing home. She enjoys it a lot so it is a win, win situation.

She gets out of the house for the day. I know that she is being well taken care of (they give her a hot meal for lunch) and I get 6 hours on my own.

Hope everyone else enjoys their days.

feeling overwhelming terror, anxiety, guilt, restlessness and despair. self hatred too, like i deserve this suffering and deserve never to be at peace again

[daffodilly]

The past several days have been pretty good.
Actually, the past couple of weeks have mostly been good.
I've had a few down moments, a few rough days.
But the good has far outweighed the bad.

So right now, tonight, i'm sitting here crying like a baby.
don't really know why.
just feel very emotional.
The night is hard for me.
But I have to prove that I am stronger than those thoughts.
And so I am thinking good things.
positive things.
even though i want to dwell in the pit and wallow in the mud and stink of self pity, i refuse to jump in. refuse to allow it to consume me as it has before.

I hope it works. Hope the thoughts and feelings go away.
I have to remember that I'm stronger... and deserve better...

I broke my leg (at the bottom of the tibia) three weeks ago.

It has been sore but I hope that it was healing.
I am the primary care-giver of my mom. I live in her home because she can't stay alone

She had gone to bed tonight. I was sitting in the living room when I heard her scream. She had gotten out of bed and slipped. When I heard the scream I jumped up from the couch and ran into her bedroom where I found her on the floor. Fortunately she was able to get up on her own. I was not help because I am in a walking cast on my right leg, and I injured my left arm, so I have no strength.

Now my ankle hurts like the dickens. I am going on holidays (the first one for quite a while) next week and wondering how I am going to walk.

[hollyann]

((((((((Monty))))))))) Wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm glad she was able to get up on her own.

((((((((((Daffy)))))))) thinking of you.

Sorry to hear this, didn't she fall not long ago? Talk to the doctor about things? Just a thought.

You take it easy as much as you can between now and vacation. So want you going and enjoying yourself.

been feeling so low again the last few days,feel like i am heading for a really big depression. its getting really cold and dark and rainy and its getting into my head. feel so tired all the time and am losing the little bit of motivation and concentration i was building up. keep thinking i am bad and evil and worthless. eating disorder is playing up again, have lost ten pounds and am getting very obsessive about food and my weight again. bladder is really bad,i feel absolutely desperate for a pee constantly and it's a horrible,frustrating feeling,hard to think about much else. sex is a complete impossibility and has been for seven months. it's getting to the stage where i cant even bear waking up anymore. we are going to stay with my boyfriends family this weekend and i am extremely anxious about going away from home,something i havent done for over a year and also i just dont know if i can do all that socialising and the whole happy family thing

Time to see a doctor concerning the bladder and kidneys perhaps? Not an expert on this, but sounds like you have some sort of infection going on.

Sending warm thoughts and hugs your way, take care, please.
