Re: not coping

You must not feel well hon to take the day of the horses @outlander

I hope being in bed has helped.

I have just plastered a smile on my face, pretended like things are ok and did what was needed.

Here for you hon 💗💗

Re: not coping

im fairly sure its the vaccine thats making me sick but i just cant move and just feel so unwell @Snowie ive had about 3 hours of interuppted sleep from side effects as well but chose not to go to the horses, i dont think driving a good idea atm

its so hard when you basically just have to grit your teeth and go on isnt it @Snowie i really hope that tomorrow is better for you

Re: not coping

No, driving isn't probably a good idea @outlander

I'm sorry you have had such a bad reaction to the vaccine. I took D to get her first dose today.

It is hard to pretend like everything is ok. It takes so much energy. I don't want to deal with tomorrow. It just seems too hard.

Re: not coping

hope she doesnt get any reactions @Snowie mine got me early hrs rather then a few hours after.

yep pretending things are ok is so tiring. im feeling much the same too. its like if you really say how your feeling youll be judged alot, or fear the consequences or feel like its like letting the lid of the box. mental health can be so hard sometimes or more like all the time!

Re: not coping

She seems ok at the moment @outlander so will just see how she goes.

If I tell my pdoc what is really happening then I know he will admit me. The kids have holidays coming up so really need to be at home. My psych helps but I'm scared she will ring my pdoc too or ring someone to do a check. Thats the last thing I want. So I bottle it up, knowing it will overflow one day. I hide that pain inside.

Hugs @outlander @Snowie

So hard to live in a world where we feel like we have to keep our emotions bottled up to survive, when bottling them up usually just increases the pain.

If it helps to vent them here, I'm listening
