Something’s not right

My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

Sorry to jump in @creative_writer but have you seen a neurologist?

Re: My special place

Thats fair enough @creative_writer

Not sure if I can offer anything here, you probably have already exhausted all options.

Not sure what neurologists do but might be worth the try.

Re: My special place

Neurologists look at the brain… or at least one of the things they look at @Snowie

I was having these horrendous brain zaps a couple of years ago. GP referred me to a neurologist.

Re: My special place

@Bow and @Snowie I have seen a neurologist before, it’s how I got the diagnosis but not for a while. I still take the migraine meds I was prescribed, though I’m currently using it as a mood stabiliser. It’s also used for bipolar. It helps with migraines but it’s not enough. It probably wouldn’t hurt to have another consult

Re: My special place

Might be worth it @creative_writer

It would be hard having them every day. Maybe they might not make them go away, but even lessen the pain/affect might help.

Re: My special place

I use to get migraines @creative_writer and there is no way I could deal with one every day. I’d be going back and asking for more options … your amazing for putting up with it!

Re: My special place

@Snowie and @Bow I’ve tried different things like different pain relief (but problem with this is you can’t take them regularly), I’ve tried dietary supplements and I accidentally discovered cuppas helps them, but it only really delays pain onset, doesn’t get rid of them. I’ve also tried other medication as preventatives from GPs before too, I don’t currently take them either of them anymore

Re: My special place

@Snowie Well done for going out to K-Mart. Yes, I imagine it would've been packed.

I did my errands yesterday so I feel pleased. Today is just work, without having to stop off to do errands before and after work and becoming stressed. It's the new plan my psychologist has for me. It clashes with my agoraphobia, but I'm trying it.

I hope staying in your room helped yesterday evening. How are you feeling today? 🤞

Re: My special place

Hi @creative_writer 🙂
How did you go with completing some of the module quizzes and assignments due on that last Sunday?

I hear you on the living on the edge and procrastinating, it is not easy.. I've started to set myself 30 minute to 1 hour timers to write assignment up in blocks. When it goes off - I have to get up and move around, or if I am on a roll, I can snooze and soldier on! Do you have anything like that in practice?
