How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[AvidFan]

Ugh you're right, selling out of necessity is horrible. The last time I did this was also due to money issues, and i was mentally unstable, this time I'm simply making a small life change, moving from the boondocks back to the city.

Bet it's still stressful though. Next time I go through it I will hopefully be moving from the city to the boondocks (by the sea). I've got a lot of work before I can make that happen though - several years at least so am thankful I can feel stable where I am for now. Wish you the best with the move!!

I found this site ifeelbroken.com, and it's a Christian site, somewhere you can chat with a real person and tell them your struggles, and they pray with you and for you, and recommend some scripture to you and support you. I had a good conversation with someone there just now and I ended up crying to God and praying to Him in repentance. So if anyone needs some extra support and you're a believer, it's a good place to go and vent and get some Christian advice. I'd recommend it to non-believers also, to be open-minded and listen to what's being said. You can still vent to them and pour your heart out, any pain you might feel, and they will be kind to you and supportive.

you are still young with a lifetime of prospects ahead of you. life is full of positive things and unfortunately negative things. all you can do is keep fighting for what you want. what i do is try to live with the bad things and concentrate on all of the good things. you are an amazing person and i think you will do well in this life

Thank you so much for your kindest, most thoughtful, reassuring and comforting support Mike, I really do appreciate it very deeply I am trying hard to stay positively focused as always, but it has just been especially challenging lately. I guess having been sick for what has been 12 days now (much less sick than I was at least so it does feel like I'm slowly "getting better", definitely not "back to myself" yet though, oh well) has probably influenced that a bit too. Anyway thank you again for the encouragement and also for those kind compliments to me, I am so glad you think those things about me! I think you are an amazing, strong and inspiring person too for sure

i'm doing amazing this morning even if t's 3:30 in the morning. my pain level is the lowest it's been in ages. i'm a 3 on the ten scale. i know it won't last but it's a welcome relief. i'm going out to cruise in my baby today so i'm in very high spirits right now

mike....

Just wanted to say - that's excellent! I'm delighted to hear you're doing amazing today, and that your pain is lower than it has been in a long time too! Congrats on that, and I hope it continues to stay at only 3 or lower. I hope you enjoy cruising later today too. Hoping your high spirits continue

I made it out of my now 2 weeks during which I fell down deeply. So, again on track now. Actually it was a heavy flue that helped me out. No alcohol, no smoke, no food (continued and will continue fir another 65 days), no other non-sense....I am just grateful. I have a good conscience. We had a long discussion today (my partner and I) and we agreed on a fall back position, if the visa fails (I pray every day...). But we will make it - one way or another.

Just in the mood to hug you all and give you some hope - every problem can be solved.

This is over now:

when i told my wife my pain level was 3 this mornig she was shocked lol. of course it didn't last and that is ok, to spend a few hours at 3 on the 10 scale was amazing. funny thing is last night pain got very high and i pryed for a little relief. call it coincidence or my prayer being answered it really helped. i didn't stay at 3 but was still low around 4 or 5. right now i'm on a spike but only 7 or 8 and now already coming down after only an hour. so i would call today a big win

While I don’t know what it’s like to have 8+ pain on most days, I have been at a 9 a couple times due to migraines. I went into shock from the pain, which was a merciful release. Hope your meds continue to work and be available. Glad to hear it’s coming back down.

I'm trying to learn to be grateful for what I have instead of worrying about what I don't have.

I'm ok,
I wept some after reading some old posts, and looking at the responses.
I had been feeling numb for a long time, a good cry was helpful

peace

I hope you will hit that goal. A sense of contentment can be refreshing.

Feeling a little creeped out. Heard some noises at my door, thinking it was an animal I said go away. Things were quiet for a few, then the noises returned, more exuberant and louder. I used my mom voice to threaten with a certain object. The noises stopped and haven't returned. It's creepy because a animal wouldn't understand that. All has been quiet though.

Like it's the end

I hope this is just a passing phase and goodness is right around the corner for you full.

I hope it was just a raccoon or something Astrid. I would've been scared to death.

Ashamed,empty, unsure

 

[Bergerac]

Tired, and desolate.

 

[Windhover]

I feel a little better today.
I hope for this level to gradually establish in my mind/nervous system. I can't be repaired, I still want my partner - but maybe a less broken-hearted mood could become normal, like in the past.

A bit frazzled. I just finally got my phone set up right for this complicated work project - 5 minutes before the project ends, and with no energy or motivation whatsoever to even look at it anyway. There may be another round of the project, if not I worked about 10 unpaid hours trying to figure it all out. I now have a meeting. I just want to hide under the cushions 😦
