Re: not coping

Ohh I could do that too @outlander Wash my car, it is dirty!! Probably from the dirt roads I drive on.

You are right, there isn't much to do when we are in lockdown.

Re: not coping

You too @Clawde

try not to be too hard on yourself...says she who is renowned for doing so...

These days if I achieve one thing I allow myself ...remind myself to feel proud...

It is part and parcel of having serious symptoms of an unwelll mind over a period of time...

I have learnt to not push myself to do housework or washing clothes if I am in a bad way....

I actually allow myself to rest for a couple of days...sloth mode....

then I find on some occasions I wake up and boom...start feeling industrious....does not last longer than two days...

feels good at the time...

then back to step one...

You offer so much love and support around the forums and that takes energy as well as great strength so please feel proud.

It is so very important that we can feel proud of ourselves about something...

most of us have had it drummed into us not to so it does take a lot of practising and reminding..

keep that foot up when possible...

dont worry about shoes....

foot up miss @outlander

💛💚💜

Re: not coping

it is @Sophia1 😥 its taking so long. its already been 2 weeks and i can still barely walk on it. the bruising is starting to go away and selling but pain isnt. its making me have to compensate so much in my legs and back.

Re: not coping

Hi @outlander , glad you dont have fractures in your foot, sorry though that it's still so painful.

Dealing with the constant pain must be exhausting 😞

Wishing you pain relief and energy 💙

Re: not coping

good morning @outlander

You have so much bruising on the outer as well as deep bruising on the inner....

it will heal given enough time...

also resting it raised up helps the blood not to rush down and alleviate swelling...

main thing is as painful as it is...it will heal....no permanent damage...

healing time and resting is paramount to avoid any further damage..

sorry to sound like a mum..

nagging my husband calls it....going on and on my son calls it....caring is what I call it..

Will stop now though...

hope that your exam preparation is moving forward...you certainly have prepared so much...well done...you are going to be very successful with your study and you throw yourself into it early and work very hard...

focus on your achievements when you start to feel flat from pain..

yes I know ,,, mum again...

I do have to tell myself this though also..

love Sophia 1

💛💜💚
