Re: not coping

Ahh, I hear you @outlander - I know that spending time in isolation can sometimes not be fun, especially when you're ready to be well and get back to normalcy!

I hope your pop is doing alright now, sometimes these symptoms can linger a little longer in some of us - I take it as a sign to just rest a little longer. Are you much of a reader or perhaps enjoy TV shows/movies? There's some fab things out there at the moment to pass some time 😛

i hope so @creative_writer theres been alot of social media scrolling, movies, scrapbooking, crocheting and cleaning! because i wasnt sick last week but in iso i deep cleaned the linen closet, pops room, the pantry fridge and freezer and the kitchen cupboards where the plates etc are.

my pop and i are going to go spend some time outdoors with my horses this arvo. i think we both need some outside time and fresh air. weve had the house well ventilated but its always so hot inhere. its even worse when you have the chills! my skin so cold but man so sweaty. this will be my second shower of the day but at least no vomiting now and i can breathe a little more today.

urgh brain fog sucks. im struggling through the tafe assignments! im finally down to my last role play and written report to go with the role play. i think thatll be enough study for me for a little while!

@outlander, it does sound like you got a lot done last week! If you don’t have anything pressing to do right now, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to take some time off. I didn’t know you had horses, that’s so cool. Horses are so beautiful and can help you regulate. My psych does equine therapy.

I hope you find the shower refreshing and soothing.

I totally feel you with studying and brain fog. My brain fried itself over the rough patch, heightened emotions plus migraines can leave a hangover. I would say nothing wrong with taking a break, you’ve gotten plenty done considering who you have been feeling today

Re: not coping

WOW, you have watched so many awesome things this past week @outlander 😛

I know criminal minds is veryyyy long, so you had a quick turnaround it seems! How did you enjoy awkward? I've been rewatching all the twilights lately with my partner, he's never seen any!

Love Jumanji, always eanted the real board game.. but I've got a version from K-mart for now, ha!

I hope that your shower is soothing and that symptoms do clear up soon, because I know when you have interrupted sleep, you feel more unwell and often irritated too.. wishing you all the best!

Re: not coping

Sounds nice @outlander 🙂

That sounds like a very nice thing to do while recovering - I hope you both enjoy seeing the horses and being out in the air 🙂💜🌺

Re: not coping

i use to help with equine therapy @creative_writer mostly autistic children and those with severe mh issues but theyve moved and took their company with them so i dont do that anymore.
i dont really enjoy the horses anmore. i dont really want the ones i have well they arent mine they are families but they cant be bothered to look after them so theyre dumped on me along with their expenses

yeah i understand migraines. i get those alot too but thankfully my medications for them hve been working and theyve reduced abit more

Re: not coping

Re: not coping

thanks @Former-Member theres no isolation rules for covid anymore in my state except when it comes to disability and hospitals etc but nothing really in the community but i feel its irresponsible for one person with covid knowingly spreading it around. so i will stick with the horses and maybe when im well enough a short walk but somewhere quiet and when no ones around even if i take a mask with me so if i do come across anyone i can just put it on.
