Something’s not right

Piecing the shattered glass together

Piecing the shattered glass together

I decided to start a new thread, my new chapter in my life is going to focus on healing my traumas, building resilience and self-worth and taking the steps of achieving mood stability. I am praying this year will be better than the last. Last year the SI got really intense, was so close to losing hope and I felt like my heart was breaking into a million pieces like shattered glass. It all still feels overwhelming, I have a long way to go on my healing journey, but I think I'm starting to feel a bit more hopeful about the future.

@Bow, struggling and having a headache isn’t fun, been on the same boat. I have my blue light amber glasses on right now, makes light easier to tolerate.

@Birdofparadise8, I also been having a migraine and been trying to distract myself even though you’re meant to be resting when you’re sick. I just didn’t want to think about “what will happen if I do X”.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@Birdofparadise8, I mean it’s expected. If I’m depressed or elevated, I’m guaranteed a migraine. Stable is when the migraines are the least likely to occur.

@Birdofparadise8, I’ve become more depressed again, the pain has also shot up. It’s just how my brain works. I hope I can keep the seasonal effects under control this winter, I was a mess last year.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

Mmm okay, well I hope so, too @creative_writer.

How long do you think I should give call the doctor for them to send me a message or give them a callback?

I'm not sure but I'm getting a headache, and my body is sore, so I'm not sure if they are related or not.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

@Birdofparadise8, it won’t hurt to give a call. The headache and body pain may be related, but always best to consult a doctor.

Re: Piecing the shattered glass together

Mmm, I don't like this @creative_writer. I should have just stayed at work and seen a Doctor there even though it would have cost me money. I can always go back if I don't hear from Call the doctor.
