Re: when is it time for hospital
there is still alot more to do but as I said - no rush @outlander Alot of what I want to do needs a steady hand and small details - both of which I can't do atm.

Re: when is it time for hospital
so today has been abit up and down with a range of things happening but ill tackle things one by one otherwise it wont make sense.
so.....
1. the tension between my mother, her bf and myself has been pretty bad today. they didnt bring up yesterday so i left it. i done all my chores before i left the house so there was nothing to complain about. crisis has been averted for now. i figure that if i rememeber to do the chores first then they dont get upset and then less tension for me and all involved
2. i managed to do my work properly today and luckily so as there was a fence down and yesterday i mightnt have noticed it in the state i was in so im glad i noticed that today. there is however one predicament that ill need to bring up with my boss and that is the form of payment. As im on Centrelink im suppose to notify them of any work ive been doing but havent declared it yet and its on and off and different wages each week, so i might have to ask about cash in hand but im worried that will offend her but if i start working too many hours or for the fortnight my normal pay will drop and they will start questioning why im a carer. when really im only working an extra 10 hrs a week so 2 hrs a day so its not really too much.
4. ive had quite a few rattles driving today including trucks being behind me, or oncoming towards me. it has really made me nervous and it took abit to regain composure so there were a few pull overs and breathing for a few minutes. another one was i took my ca mirror off as i was reversing out this morning as a dangling rope in our carport was wrapped around it and didnt it there and took it off so now i have to replace that. the other incident was a 4wd cutting in front of me nearly causing me to hit him and the cars behind me to rear end me. luckily all those were avoided but rattled me none the less.
5. My Gp appointment went ok. i told this gp as this isnt a regular, im avoiding her atm. bad i know but i need a break from her and her pressures continuously. she making me really uncomfortable. anyways back to the topic i was on, i told him about my continuous headaches and that they are pretty bad but they dont respond to normal meds but not bad enough for migraine tablets. he is showing concern and said that if they dont ease but next week or they dont start to respond to these new concoction of meds he will reorder scans to make sure that things are still as they should be and things havent shifted through the recent work ive been doing. so until then get another massage, continue the gentle neck stretches, heat packs and muscle creams AND make sure im wearing my GLASSES when im reading!.

Re: when is it time for hospital
@outlander you've sounded MUCH better than I've seen in days. It's really lovely to hear you looking at your life in a more positive light. I know that doesn't mean things will necessarily be brilliant from now on, but hold on to these days. And when things go shite again, remember there were and will continue to be better days. It's often in the midst of MI that our brain chemistry is hard wired to see more of the negative side of things and less of the positive. My mh case manager wants me to make a list of the negative/positive things from the last 2 years (when my major depressive disorder was diagnosed. The BPD followed about 6months later). The list of negative stuff is huge & there was barely any positive. Or so I thought. But I still managed to fulfil a dream to volunteer and travel in Africa last year. And I mostly loved it. That is a massive positive to my own strengths, as it took a lot of planning & organising. Not to mention being in strange places.
I'm glad you got back to see a GP about your headaches. It's not bad that you are not seeing your regular GP. You need to feel comfortable with your doctor, that you can trust them to take good care & have your best interests at heart. Did you like this doctor today? Could you change over to him?
You're doing really well with your driving, and you did great today to cope with your anxiety. I have a couple of accidents, lots and lots of near misses, and yes you do get a bit unsettled from it.
Writing stuff that's bothering you is a good idea, here or in a journal. Sometimes it helps you to sort things out or to reflect back on your mood at the time.
@Zoe7 your painting is amazing. I'm always in awe of people's creativity, and the skill and dedication to do something that brings them joy & peace. I write poetry, but it's fairly private what I write. I do go to a local writers group, and have written poetry for their themes. It seems to be well received.
@Former-Member I'm sorry to hear you're not having a great day hun. Anything we can help you with? Take care of yourself and be gentle with those nasty thoughts in your mind.

@outlander I could post a really long reply but I think this will do it...
Way To Go Outlander
you do know the bill is in the mail though don't you 
I might need to patent The Zoe Method lol
@Sans911 Thankyou for the positve feedback. It is one I have been working on for quite a while but haven't been able to add to it for the last couple of months as my arms and hands are not steady enough and I have no strength to hold the paint brush for long enough.
@Former-Member We are here with you, hearing you and supporting you sweetheart

Definitely don't sell them @Former-Member - my loungeroom and dining room does look like an art gallery atm though lol How is your book going? I read a little abut the storyline earlier - sounds very full-on but interesting
