How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Angie]

Feeling much better than yesterday.

Frustrated with myself over not reviewing the requirements for an essay, then writing a great essay on the wrong things. I received my first D ever on any assignment in any class.

I feel nothing, and I have felt like this for a long time. I am going on holiday to Mauritius in a few weeks and I am not even excited.

I’m finally stating to relax, still very tired. Going to do a short hike this morning and the hot springs. Then we’ll see

wobbly! I just got off a weeklong cruise (amazing) but now I'm on land I can't walk straight and keep feeling like the room is swishing as if I was on the sea

Physically, not so much, but my feelings are neutral.

Feeling sleepy as heck. Always happens in the morning. I want a nap 3 hours after I get started. I have had half my coffee.

Not sleeping. Anticipatimg the switch back 16 hours, maybe. Wondering how I as a failed and crappy person can ever find peace.

 

[Aurelia]

So I'm eating again as of today. I do feel a bit better now than when I first came to the ER. I just really have to watch what I eat and how much until they fix what's causing this. Hoping to leave here soon and not have to come back.

All people can find peace. It might be harder for some than others. But by actively working towards healing, we can get there.

I see a lot of evidence that you’re not a crappy person! I know that it’s hard to see it that way in ourselves. I have totally been in that position, too. Many times. So, I hope you don’t mind me saying that I disagree. My therapist likes to say that just because I fked up, that doesn’t mean I am a fkup.

Again, I don’t blame you. Maybe I am just projecting, but I wonder if you might have a lot of shame. Stuff that was offloaded onto you by others? The way that I read you labeling yourself doesn’t sound like your voice. You have not done that to anyone here that I have read.

I know that failure stings, and also that it can be overcome. You are definitely not a failed person. You are fighting this fight, and it is painful, but you are still fighting.

My blood pressure is back to normal now after the Klonopin withdrawal, which means I'm officially off. Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't have the urge to take it again when I start feeling anxious. But it's just something I'm going to have to learn to avoid I suppose, because if I take it once, I'm going to want to take it again. I hadn't really thought this far ahead when I decided to come off of it. And I'm still not smoking either.

Sorry to hear that. I can also relate. My grades in college were exemplary, but I would bomb on the final exam. If it’s one assignment of many, chances are that you can recover.

Happy.

 

[puffymilk]

I'm feeling good

I wish I didn't have to struggle so badly in different parts of my life on a daily basis. I badly need a break from all the storm & stress in my life.

Thank you Jack.

Professor has offered an extra credit assignment, so there is that.

Congrats on both counts

I went off my ativan cold turkey (not recommended) so I applaud you tapering off . I still think about it at times. It gets easier.

Congratulations on not smoking...I would have a tough time. I grew up in a smoke filled house but never started. I like the smell nowadays.

There's no reason the hospital should have still kept me from discharging after I ate food again. They had me sitting there and were doing nothing for me, probably just milking my insurance. So I decided I was leaving. Mind you, when I first told them I want to go home they had me waiting for hours upon hours. They didn't seem to understand that I WAS going home no matter what. I had to literally say "against medical advice" for them to finally let me go. Assholes.
