Something’s not right

I am not doing so well

I am not doing so well

I am really not doing so well & I am struggling. I can't seem to function too well atm. I am shutting down. I saw my psych today, and she doesn't think doing exercise science is going to be good choice to study because there is not much work available in this field.

I am not able to articulate too well, what is happening for me. I am just exhasuted and scared and alone.

Re: I am not doing so well

Did you have your GP appointment today ? @Zoe7

Re: I am not doing so well

Yes I did @oceangirl - we are going to try and cut back to every second day - not every day - so Mon, Wed, Friday - and maybe also pick up meds every second day also. Psychologist on Wed - GP app afterwards - see how psych app goes and can do Thurs if needed with GP - but hoping won't have to

Re: I am not doing so well

I remember you mentioning that, and you were planning to see her every second day. How did you go today? @Zoe7

What are your plans for tomorrow?

Re: I am not doing so well

Hi .... I'm back ....

Just butting straight in here .... so I hope I'm not treading all over anyone's toes ....

We go on a vegetarian plus shellfish fast for the Lenten weeks leading up to Easter in the Greek-Australian (G-A) culture @oceangirl so I grilled some corn cobs tonight, and cut up a whole range of veggies and put them into the oven with some vegetarian stock .... ate the corn before the airport run and have sat down to the veggies now ..... S2 just came in asking why the whole house smells like feet .... lol .... and asked me not to do that again ...... gotta love bd's ...... ❤️

Re: I am not doing so well

@oceangirl app went well - blood pressure is down a bit again - back to normal - yeah!!! The change in times for taking my meds seem to be working much better - she is happy with how I am going - and so am I Still a way to go re: sleep issues - but tackle one problem at a time!

I don't really have any plans for tomorrow - washed the walls and shelves in the kitchen today - definitely took it out of me but looks reaaaaaalllllly clean

Might try and tackle that spare room again - and no...not move things back to the other side of the room... have started to sort it all out ... may do a bit more tomorrow.

Other than enrolling tomorrow, what are your plans?

@Faith-and-Hope I do love myself some vegies - so if there are any leftovers send them my way

Hi again @Faith-and-Hope

I love veggies too.

You gotta love him

Did WH get away ok- how was his mood when he left?

I hope you have some time for you while he is away @Faith-and-Hope

Re: I am not doing so well

@Zoe7 I am so proud of you too. BP down ! Remember try to get some morning sun- its really good for sleep. Do you like swimming? You could go for a swim tomorrow and see if that helps with your sleep. Because I find swimming really helps to relax me.

You are sounding better and clearer in the mind to me and sounding much stronger- keep going...

I have appointment at GP at 9.30 and massage at Midday

Re: I am not doing so well

@Zoe7 I have some errands to run tomorrow too

Re: I am not doing so well

I prefer to call swimming - drowning - love to be in the water but not a great swimmer any more! I still need to be really careful with how much I actually do each day. I still get really tired easily and that then seems to worsen my depression. Slowly, slowly - but I am getting there. I do feel much brighter and am able to cope much better with some things. I find some of those triggers that used to send me on the downward spiral really quickly aren't quite as bad. There are some that still hit hard but generally I think I am coping a lot better. There is still a very long way to go (especially with some things - and you know what they area) but I am taking the time to do the work through some of them and hopefully get to a better place where my life isn't ruled by the past every day. I know you get exactly what I mean!

I hope your GP app goes well! and you enjoy your massage (not something I could do!!!)

@oceangirl Are you getting sleepy yet - I'm starting to!

Re: I am not doing so well

WH was okay .... clearly excited to be going .... but I also realised last night that he is probably quite addicted to the patisserie items he was going though there, without being conscious of it in that sense .... so at that level he would have been waiting to get back there and resume the way he was Iiving, like a kid in a candy store ... almost literally.

He will be lost until he's not lost .... if that makes sense.

And yes, there will be a lot of me-time .... especially after last year when so much of my time and effort had to be spent on everyone else. This is shaping up to be very quiet on the family front, unless we get a WH break-thru .....

That sounds like some good news is happening with your medical feedback @Zoe7 .... well done ❣
