How Are You Feeling Right Now?

I have had a difficult day, but I did get out of my apartment and even spoke to some humans. 😄 I felt somewhat better. It was actually a little social event put on by the apt bldg staff. I managed my panic attack but I have noticed my tremor has been noticeably worse.
It’s a strangely nice feeling in the aftermath of a panic attack. It has to do with the physical drain combined with the mild triumph of getting through it without being steamrolled by it. After I go for a swim I have a similar feeling of feeling better for the exercise, but I am not great with water so I’m also exhausted, lol
Otherwise I have had some frustration with things knocking over if I get within a 5 foot radius. I can spill stuff by freaking telekinesis, it seems.

However, even this is better than it was yesterday. As long as I can remember to keep my eyes on my hands when I’m moving them, I can prevent things from falling. Forgot for a few seconds, though, and nothing vertically stored on the counter was safe!
FWIW, my tremor is an essential tremor that I first noticed when I was 10. So far it seems like it is not treatable, so that sucks. Essential tremor, as far as I know, means it’s just there with no detectable medical explanation. I usually raise an eyebrow with TSA agents when traveling because I can’t hold my license card steady. I’m already anxious, and dreading the conversation where I have to explain what essential tremor means. This makes it all worse. Well , first world problems. I can’t afford to travel right now anyway so it’s less of an issue.

You are definitely not an a hole, just someone struggling through a very trying time. When I went thru divorce, rather than listen to my ex husband yell or try to manipulate i sought help from the courts. I guess this would help if you and your wife were living in 2 seperate homes.
@Lostman85 you are stronger than you know. I really hope you can get some peace soon. Please be gentle with yourself.

I’m also having a lot of hip pain. Let me know if you find out how to get a job. 
I've got 2 jobs if @LumberJack and @cymbele want them! (jk!)
I’m guessing you have already thought about this, and the following is 100% speculation drawing from what I have learned in PT from my own injuries.
It sounds like something is getting out of place, causing tension in other places, and then it pops back where it should be. All of these different parts from the hips up to the spine and down to the ankles depend on each other so if one part of the “super assembly” gets out of whack, something else will compensate.
The physio should be able to diagnose it, but in the meantime if you know how to use athletic tape you might see if you can hold one of those spots in place. A past diagnosis of tendinitis might be a clue.
If you have not been instructed by a physical therapist or other master degree level professional, then it would likely cause more harm than good. Also all the standard stretching for runners, just as a reminder.
Please disregard this if it doesn’t sound helpful. I am really reacting from my own feelings of wanting you to protect those joints since I am worried about your pain levels. So, I want to help, but for some reason I am just full of advice. I’m sorry for that!
