My day did @Former-Member. Thanks for thinking of me 🙂 I was thinking of you too ❣
I hope something sorts out with this Monday / Thursday thing ......
Its just a thought, but is there anything in the family background that you grew up with that might have created a negative association with Thursday's ? If there is no obvious cause, sometimes there is some little niggle background cause that the brain has taken a hold of and created or continued a pattern around, quite inexplicably.
I am no expert mind, and not medically trained at all, it's more an interest in people, and a sort of scientifically inquiring-type mind ....... I have heard that art and science are related. It must be the trial and error, looking for relationships sort if thing.
Sometimes a thought somebody raises triggers thoughts in others, including the medical personnel, and a line of enquirer produces results. It is a puzzle, isn't it ?
I don't know whether this can help -
My daughter (D3) has had a run of ill health and injury for the last three years, starting with the dislocation if both her knees, three months apart. That's when we learned about hypermobility issues, and began to recognise the effects of that on other family members (sore jaws fir two of them, sore hands after extended writing exercises, frequency if tendinitis and soft-tissue injury particularly rolled ankles ....)
From there stress illnesses set in (glandular fever, IBS, massive issues with menstrual pain, headaches), and of course, with all the missed school, teacher annoyance, running to catch up only to fall again, she struggled emotionally too.
The end result was to build a wall of anxiety around attending the school campus itself. I thought about that for a little while, then we devised a plan !! I bought a gift bag and started to fill it with bits and pieces from sales bins in the supermarket - a lip gloss, nail polish, hair lackies, a nice gift card, a chocolate bar, a little fancy air-freshener thingy. Whatever we could find really. When we arrived at school, she was to take something out. It was a reward for being there, for stepping up to the day, despite how she felt.
And it worked, even though she knew all about the process and objective involved. It's a different take on a sticker chart that you use for small children.
Maybe you can make Thursday's a treat day if some sort for yourself, at least for a while, and see whether that dies an over-ride on whatever is causing the problem. Worth a try ?
I hope you relax this evening and find something to spoil yourself with.
Big hugs ❤️❤️❤️
