Something’s not right

Oscillation between two mind sets

Oscillation between two mind sets

Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of things and don’t feel like my trauma defines me and I don’t feel so ashamed and scared. Other times I want to hide from the world and feel like a **** (I’m not going to say the word here since I don’t want to trigger anyone) 😭, I feel so ashamed that I don’t want people to know

@Former-Member I can’t help but feel like a burden for hurting but I can’t help but feel low. My mood always seems to plummet by the end of the day and I can’t stop it

@Former-Member I am waiting for the caffeine to kick in so I can start studying. Caffeine in moderation relaxes me and quietens the thoughts.

I hope you are doing well this morning 💖🫂

Hey there @creative_writer 💜🙂🌺

I hope you got some really good sleep last night 🌺

yes that caffeine cuppa sounds like a good helper to getting study done 🙂

I hope your day goes well today sweetness ☺️

All good here thank you - just a bit cold with windows open but I do like having some morning air before everyone in the neighbourhood starts making food throughout the day and I get the sneezes 🤭

Take care and go gently, and I’ll be here on and off today if you’d like to chat a bit later on 🙂🌺

@Former-Member just had my afternoon cuppa, I'm getting to the final stages of the assignment. Fresh air is always lovely, particularly for certain health conditions. Fresh air helps my migraines, I do think I have poor blood circulation.

I'm doing okay for far. I hope today goes for you smoothly too 💖🫂

Hey there @creative_writer 🤗🌺

Sounds good - I hope you enjoyed that cuppa, and progress is going well for the final bits of the assignment 🙂

Yes indeed, a bit of fresh air always helps bring a bit of better health, doesn't it 🙂 xx

Circulation issues and migraines do very much benefit from good air quality, for sure. And I also gently understand its not as easy as doing some exercises to help build physical fitness and resilience in cardiovascular fitness.. we do our best with what we have.. 🙂 xx

I used to live in the mountains and found that the air was easier to breathe, so I had better oxygenation.. I always hoped I would live back there again 🙂

I hope youre doing ok and still feeling alright this afternoon. Sending you a big hug 🤗

@Former-Member I wear compression clothing on a regular basis to help with blood flow. It sort of helps with migraines. I think it’s coming to that time of day to,, migraine is starting to hit off. If only I could have tea to ease the pain, caffeine helps more than pain relief, but then I won’t sleep.

It would have been lovely living on a mountain. I live on a hill, public transport can be an issue and it not very convenient when getting to the city.

Are you up to much this afternoon?

Re: Oscillation between two mind sets

Yeah darling I think I remember you mentioned you use compression clothes 🙂.. I use them too, and I also find they help with reduced cardiac function 😊

I call them the squishies because they squish all the fluid back to the heart hehe 😊

I can see how squishie clothes would help with migraines, and I hope you can avoid one coming on and get to relax a bit for the evening dearest 🙂🌺

Besides caffeine, I’m not sure if there are alternatives..? I have brain inflammation (viewable on mri) due to immune issues, and I try to use a warm compress or warmed towel on the back of my shoulders and neck which sometimes helps blood flow and fluid movement ..not sure if that could be helpful..? 🙂🌺

Yes living on a mountain is lovely, for sure. There was a need to be independent as far as driving and mobility because as you’ll know, slopes aren’t as easy to negotiate with health challenges 🙂🌺💜

I can very much understand how living on a hill has its own unique aspects when it comes to public transport and travelling places 🌺

for the minute I’m just getting ready to pop to the chemist, to pick up an order of medicines for the next couple weeks 🙂

Then, I was hoping to rest a bit this evening.
how about you sweets? 🙂🌺
