How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[FlamingoWrangler]

Pain, i want to sleep that never ends. to live in my dreams rather than this exhausting life. And just a bit miserable.

That's great news @Lonely dude30. I hope you can continue to get help for what ails you.

Thanks I used to be in therapy for depression and anxiety twice before I got approved for disability benefits.

If I'm turning a corner, it's one so incrementally gradual as to be imperceptible unless viewed from space.

I hope you do turn the corner and it gathers momentum!

I am feeling better than I have in a while. Managed to really get into a sci fi series and forget about all the other crap, work and other stuff going on for a bit. Managed to get a run completed. Had a whole afternoon and evening without anxiety, stress and lightheaded/dizziness feelings and my nervous system rebelling at everything. No crash from the run, and feel more like myself today than I have in some time. Am grateful for this after a really brutal few weeks before that. I hope I am through the worst of whatever the last 3 months have been (3 months since last diazepam dose).

Anxious this Monday morning.

Tired and anxious.

My biopsy procedure is tomorrow and unfortunately the person who is set to be my ride is ill. I'm not sure what will happen now.

 

[Windhover]

Oh no, sorry to hear that your ride person is ill. If you have to, could you hire a taxi? I don't know if it's too far away for that solution @Angie . Is there a charity ride service that might help out, though it's short notice at this point

Adding to Seabird's comment.... often times certain health insurances will pay for a ride to and from appointments. An older insurance i had did that.

Sleepy. I feel so very sleepy all the time, and it's not always because of sleepless nights. I believe it's the dark weather.

That happens to me too. I found something that helps a bit: first thing in the morning turn on lots of lights in your place during wake-up and while having breakfast. I added one of those lamps with light similar to day time light. It has a timer and I keep it angled away from me because it's really bright.

i feel i use too many analogies when talking to people. i get looks as though i am talking a foreign language from another planet... case in point!

My ride says she is well enough to take me now. The hospital wants someone there with you, which is, I think, not fair. Not everyone has someone to do these things with them.

Thank you for your concern, appreciate you.

Yes, I am on Medicare and have an Advantage Plan, my particular plan doesn't provide for transportation, but at some point I may change plans.

Thanks for your help!

I am thirsty lol

but nothing by mouth today before the procedure

 

[Foxtrot.Whiskey]

Im tired and cannot sleep, the pain won't let me.
I'm tired of dealing with the pain for years, multiple Drs tossing their hands up and still being undiagnosed.
I'm tired of living for now because it's always full of pain.
I'm tired of my chest hurting and getting hungry. That's what causes my chest pain to get worse.
I'm tired of Drs saying I'm just looking for drugs; or they can't give me pain meds because they don't know what's wrong. I'm not getting better, what does it matter?
Did I say I'm tired?

Having a bit of a bad patch with my mental health. Have a support workshop starting in jan for 20 weeks and my autism assessment in nov.

Feeling worn down and wanting to tap out.

Yes, I also have a big daylight that shines on my room from my side (I can't see it), but I sometimes forget to turn it on. :p I guess it is time!

I believe this requirement is for both safety of patient and hospital. Sedation may temporally effect patient's ability to perform tasks, like driving. So another person to help is required.
Home test goes well and the results are benign.
