Re: rough time
the radiologist i spoke to said they were really backed up so even if it was urgent i might not hear anything till tomorrow or up to friday unless my gp rings them himself and get its done verbally. i sent an email to my gp practice. i cant get msyelf to ring so emailed instead. im not so muhc going to worst case scenario, it is the unknown and the waiting thats getting to me and not knowing what the hell to do. im suppose to heave a headspace appointment on thursday but i worry that i wont be able to go and im watching kids overnight on thursday- friday arvo and what if they ring then and mums not home for the kids.
sorry that was a ramble, i should proabably take a breath
i kinda need to rest, cleaning the car was abit of a silly idea and has flared all the pain up inclduing down my leg.

Re: rough time
Why would you not be able to go to yourheadspace appointment @outlander The waiting for results does not mean you stop everything else in youor life - infact it is better that you are busy. It should not matter what you are doing - especially whether you are looking after the kids - you can take a phone call. If there is something that you need to be told then they will call sooner. The waiting does suck but you need to help yourself by getting on with other things at the same time as waiting - that way you can be distracted for some of the time and it will make the time go quicker.

Re: rough time
i can still go, ive been told that mum and bf are leaving in the morning so ill be able to make it to my appointment and have talked to pop so he can take them to the train station as well if i cant.
i know i can cancel if something pops up health wise like call back from gp etc was more worried about everything else. at least that is sorted.
i think abit of it is me going stir crazy, with not being able to do the horses, my studies not up and running yet, and not all that much to do im getting bored again and the minutes are dragging on by

Re: rough time
The last thing you should be thinking about is cancelling this appointment @outlander - you have waited so long for it and you need to go even if you are not feeling good physically. Both the mental and physical pains are feeding off each other and you need to deal with both of them equally.
I can see that boredom is a factor and I know how hard it is to do things when you are feeling like this but it is essential that you occupy your mind also - that can be as simple as watching a movie or BBT for a little while - do some of the self-care activities you like and you may need to do them more than once.

ive just put jurrassic park on, i tend to watch it abit so might help even for a while, ive been crochetting too and will probably do more soon but after dinner so my hands arent messy.

Re: rough time
sorry to hear about your situation presently @outlander although it does sound like you know what you gotta do
your appointment is important because that's a step towards recovery and doing better by yourself
@Zoe7 is right about the mental and the physical feeding off one another. This does make it tough.
Are you able to get to bed earlier tonight?

Re: rough time
Keep doing those things you enjoy @outlander It doesn't matter if you watch the movie once or 3 times and you can crochet all night if you enjoy it - self-care is not about how many things we can do it is about what makes us feel a little better withing ourselves. Try to be in the moment - concentrate solely on what you are doing - put everything else out of your mind and just BE with what you are doing. For now watch the movie and crochet then you can come back on here after dinner and let us know how youm are going.

Re: rough time
Have you got a heat pack to put on the painful parts @outlander ? Can you drink some calming tea, & please don't eat anything spicy, or food that will make you upset in the stomach. What ever you take for pain relief, may be a good idea to take some now, & before you go to bed.
Vitamin C is good for calming the nerves, do have any? Try not to drink caffeine drinks, warm milk will help.
Love & Hugs!
