I hope you can get your headache to go away too hon @outlander

I'm struggling a bit but getting there.

H is sick. Has got a cold. So been in bed all day today. Looking after him however has been a good distraction. Just need to pop out. Will be back soon.

Re: not coping

ive had them for about a week straight @Snowie i think ill have to go back to the specialist for them. theyre like migraine headaches but without being a true migraine sometimes they last a couple of weeks but i can go without them for a while. it seems to be related to an old neck injury where the nerves were injured or the damaged nerves in my face

ihope H feels better soon. its good its giving you a distraction at least. im sorry your struggling though

Re: not coping

I'm pretty okay @Snowie . Think I've caught a bit of a cold from my sister's kids. Other than that, it's pretty good.

I've just written a list of things for me to do. I sort of like lists because it helps me get things done.

What about you?

Hope you feel better soon @outlander . Migraines or migraine-like pain is horrible. Your whole body is affected.

seems like everyone is getting sick this winter @tyme


how do you keep pushing on with your plans even though its hard and you know deep down its the right thing to do

Re: not coping

How do I keep going with my plans @outlander ?

The feeling of achieving something outweighs the pain in doing it. I actually get such a sense of success and achievement that it makes me want to just push through.

By the way, please don't think these plans are running a marathon or anything. They are small achievable things such as doing various forms of paper work, reading some documents etc. Yes, it's boring, but it has to be done.

Hope that answers your question.

how do you keep going when it feels like the wrong thing but you know its the right thing @tyme

Re: not coping

Oooooo @outlander , that's a tough one.

For me, I probably give it a go and keep telling myself it is the right thing to do.

Like my recovery. I had to do the things I really didn't want to because I knew it was good for me e.g. going to socialise. I'd rather stay at home, under the covers. Yet I know I need to get out. So I make myself get out.

Does that sort of answer things?

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

@outlander Perhaps you might have to go back to the specialist if they are continuing. It would certainly make things harder for you.

Sorry about your cold @tyme H is sick too. I just hope I don't catch it of him.

Lists sound like a good way to make sure things get done.

I rarely make lists. I find I get too disappointed in myself when I don't cross things off them.

I am trying but feel like I am failing myself.

Re: not coping

it is a tough one @tyme

i feel like im doing the right thing but at the same time i feel like its the wrong thing and im being selfish and im so full of guilt
