I've been feeling sleepy the whole day that I realized I may have been lacking sleep the past several days, which is kind of manifesting only now when I feel like I want and need to do something, it'll fall back to me wanting to go to bed instead. I guess it's still good, that right now I'm able to make up for the lost sleep. .

interview goes well

My only issue is I want to do what I was doing before working for myself but the place the job centre sent me to got me this its my advisors friend who runs the company so I am kind of stuck

doc gave me some pills to stop me being sick but it does not work for the other side of this bug also told me to drink lots of water

Well, see now.,, that’s a whole‘ other level of disorder; than I was thinking it was. . , so! Yeah? You may very well have your hands tied there, then. As I’m no expert: but I’d suspect, what you’d want to do in order to treat or help with that hoarding situation, or behavior, is to first tackle or address the reasons as to why they are engaging in such excessive activity in the first place. In other words—if you can get to the bottom of that (or at least begin to have it be managed somewhat, such that it is not becoming such a destructive force that leads to such…) then you may better be able to disable that/or the . . . I don’t even know what you call it? An addiction? Or a coping mechanism? A compulsion? Well, whatever terminology or label you’d care to ascribe or attribute it to, that’s what you would ultimately hope to do! In a perfect world, that is~ … 😉👌🤗💯🙌✅😊

I'm thinking in some way she might need therapy to understand why she does it. She went through several deaths in the family in the past few years, but this has been going on for years...I think it was about 2011 when we stayed over there for the night and it wasn't in great condition then. So I feel like this has been going on for a while now. I'm mainly the one who helped today...my mom helped for a few minutes, but I did work for about an hour and think I got a decent amount done.

taking care of an ailing parent is beyond stressful, but throw in that she's an alcoholic just makes things almost unbearable. i promise you when your mom eventually passes you will be glad that you did it. i know from experience, i took care of my mom for around 11 or 12 years.

mike....

I don't mind taking care of her, it's just hard to see how this affects her.

in a very bad pain pike tonight. it's too high for too long. not suicidal at all but admit it does look attractive to stop the pain for good once in a while. when this happens all i can do is treat the pain a lot more aggresively. it is upsetting me a little so i took lorazepam to help. i am very lucky though, on average my pain level is a little lower lately and my depression and anxiety is usually pretty low right now. i don't feel too negative because my new outlook is i just have to survive the spike and i know my pain will come down, it always does lol

i hope you recover from the spike soon. when i was younger i needed to support my family so i had to take jobs that sucked until i found something i liked. maybe you can take this job and keep looking for something you want

Yeah, all you're doing--& don't get me wrong: becuase it is still a very noble & noteworthy/good & charitable thing--but you're very defintiely only doing, is "treating the sympotms," & not the root/or core of the probmellm it self~ (which is why it won't ever get better unitl it/or they-somebody, does; as in 'treat,' it - what's at the heart of theis truama, or wahtevee trit is?).

Yeah, we can only do what we're able to, and we'll tell her if it's beyond what we are able to accomplish. Because we can't cure whatever issues are going on.

what kind of pain meds were/are you on? lol

 

[1964dodge]

what kind of pain meds were/are you on? lol

i used to be on 100mgph fentanyl lpatch, 90 mg morphine and 16 mg hydro - morphone " dilaudid " a day. the fentanyl patches so they were supposed to last 3 days, at the end of day 3 it still had a little in it so if i got any spikes they were minor. my average on the 10 scale was between 2 and 3 and 0 and 1 for a short time once in a while, and spikes if they happened was 4 or 5. i was a lot more active.

now i only get 45 mg morphine, and 8 mg hydro - morphone and that is all i get for opioid pain meds. i do get 2400 mg a day of gabapentin for diabetic nerve pain ( seperate from my leg pain ). i started on cyclobenzaprine 5 mg last month or two (muscle relaxant) which helps a little. When i have to treat the pain aggressively i use mmj a salve with thc intact which can bring the pain down 1 or 2 points quickly so a lot. i also use 50 mg edible, i would like to use it more but it is very expensive, and i use my tens unit if the pain won't come down. it is a lot more complicated and with everything i do i still live in the 5 or 6 level, lately more of a 4 to 5 on average. nightly spikes, almost every night go between 7 ad 9 rarely a 10. when it hits 9 or 10 i can't do anything, i can't sit stand or lay down for more than 5 miuets, luckily it's rare and i know how to lower it at least a little fast. of course i don't do nearly what i used to do. at least the last year or two i have been winning the war as in not giving up

We're here for you Mike as you are always here for others. I hope the pain passes and quickly. I wish you didn't have to suffer so much.
