Oscillation between two mind sets

@Jynx. It’s going to be a work in progress.

I’m feeling lousy this morning and feel like I’m going to physically collapse. Such a shit start of the day. My physical health isn’t helping my mental health

Hey @creative_writer

I see you aren't feeling the best today, did you want to have a chat?

Sitting with you and sending you lots of hugs

@amber22, I wonder if POTS just feels more debilitating today. I can’t function. Everything feels harder today. I’m just in bed right now.

I’ve also been ruminating and I feel like I don’t fully understand what happened to me in the past. I may never understand it fully. I’m sitting with uncertainty

Oh you poor thing, I'm so sorry that it's harder for you today @creative_writer

I think lying in bed and resting for the time being is a really good idea. Do you have something you can watch, or read, or anything that you might be able to distract yourself with while you rest so that you don't think too much about the past?

Sitting with you ❤️

@amber22, I had lunch which helped a bit. I sprinkled a bit of extra salt on my food. I also watched something with my mum and sister. Still feeling quite exhausted. Thoughts are coming back. I think my brain is trying too hard to make sense of uncertainty. Memories are there and painful, but sometimes certain details can get a bit lost

I'm so glad you were able to have some lunch @creative_writer

What are you up to for the rest of the day? Do you have anything planned that might be able to distract you a little bit?

It's totally okay to be having these thoughts, but you are never alone with them.

Sitting with you

@amber22, will try some prayers. I do feel like I need to lie down because my head is starting to feel heavier right now. I feel so limited in what I can do to distract myself. I don’t want to have to talk to someone what’s going on in my mind. My mind is so confused

That sounds like a really good idea to have a lie down @creative_writer

That's totally okay to not want to talk about what's going on in your mind at the moment, you do what feels right for you and what would be best for you.

You're not alone and I'm here to chat if you needed at all.

Is there something that works for you that helps to distract at all? Or something that might help while you have a lie down or to do after?

Sitting with you

@amber22, I don’t want to have to reach out to SANE again today. I just called yesterday. My mind is still clogged and it’s hard to shake off
😔

Sorry that today has hit you sideways @creative_writer that really sucks. Does the heat tend to set off your POTS?

Also, please, please do call them if you think it will help - there's no shame in it, that's the whole purpose of why the support line exists.
