Not Coping

Aw thank you very much ❤️ @creative_writer

I'm sorry to hear that you have been struggling to sleep and have been feeling irritable recently, agitation and depression is a challenging mix. I am sending you lots of virtual hugs.

I hope that you can get an appt to see your psychiatrist soon to review your meds.

What did you do today/ do you have anything planned for tonight?

Yep pretty shit @creative_writer

Hi @Birdofparadise8 @creative_writer @amber22

Ive just gotten home from an eventful day at work. I must say I am proud of myself, maybe I am changing.

As for the MH system conversation. I’m in a small country town and it appears I’m very lucky. My current GP listens. I rang the drs surgery 10 days ago and said I need to see her. The receptionist recognised my name and rang me back 20mins later with an appointment within the hour. My psychiatrist is the only one available and she is fantastic. The MH team at the hospital is great. My nurse is working in another town this week and is emailing me and so is the fill in nurse that’s here. I know I’m really lucky but I’m saying that, that is all there is here

There is good people out there you just need to be able to find them.

Yum that sounds delicious! Yes I know what you mean, you poor thing, I really hope it goes away for you soon. Migraines are the worst, and linger around for so long. You're right, definitely need a big sleep and hopefully we both wake up feeling a lot better ❤️ @creative_writer Thanks for chatting tonight, it was lovely to talk to you again

That’s so good you have great MH support @Captain24

How are you feeling tonight?

Hey there @Captain24

So lovely to hear from you tonight!! Glad that you had a good day today, how was work? What made it eventful?

I am so happy that you have a good health system around you - they can be hard to find! I had to go through a few different doctors to find one that really listens to me. It definitely is a journey and experimental to find the one that clicks finally, but it is worth it.

Loving that last bit of your post 🙂 Very true!

My team is great but my GP is going to Canada at the end of January. I’m hoping the GP she has recommended is just as good.

Im still pretty flat @Birdofparadise8. I’m also stressing about missing 2 days of one of my meds.

Im not sure if you know what I do for work @amber22. I work in a coal mine.
Today I was in a water cart and they are nearly as big as the big dump trucks. One of the diggers had smoke coming out of it. So all water carts were called to the area. I was the first one there. I had to drive up this ramp that was nearly the same width as my truck and steep. Then I had to drive around the bench to get to the digger. One part of it I thought I was going to roll the truck. To paint a picture, imagine the roughest 4wd track. But the water cart is obviously full of water, so when the truck leans to the side the water moves as well. Any how the digger was fine but my achievement is I drove up the and on that bench and not once was I scared! Me before the anti anxiety meds couldn’t have done it!

Aw thank you ❤️ @creative_writer It is really hard to take care of yourself while in the pain of a migraine! The best thing for me is to always lie in a dark room and wait for it to go - but the after feeling is often a bit worse as I feel very nauseous. I've just had some toast, something plain to stomach for the night and I'll have a tea in a bit before bed. I hope that you're able to take care of yourself tonight and wake up migraine free!
