Under the weather. I got this cold/flu off a guy at work. Aches all over, occasional waves of dizzy nausea, head aches, cough, sneezing, hot with shivers, and so on and so on. And I feel great.

Im not sure what it is, but sometimes I really enjoy being sick, it just seems to boost my mood a bit. The closest to an explanation I ever found was a suggested phenomenon where aspies (Yep, I'm one) feel a little more NT when they are running a mild fever. (The study had an alarmingly small sample size, so pinch of salt and all that).

All I know is that I usually feel more chill when I'm ill. Despite the physical discomfort.

Silver linings and all :)

What do they really have to offer me? Romantic partners? Is physical affection really the answer to all my problems? I don't think so. I had a "date". We held each other during a movie, which he didn't bother watching and kept distracting me from. Now I don't really care whether he talks to me again or not. Never particularly did. Maybe I'm meant for something greater than to be someone's girlfriend or spouse my entire life. I thought it could fill some sort of hole. The emptiness inside. It was always so exciting to start seeing someone. Now I don't really care. It's not really what I want. I can feel it. No matter who I talk to, I have no real desire to know them. Yet, part of me still clings to the idea that maybe someone out there will capture my attention. But it's starting to seem unlikely. I don't know how to be this new person.

you may or may not find that special someone to spend the rest of your life with. i think dating is good with compatible people. just make sure your lifestyles are compatible. since god is a big part of your life i think you should gravitate towards other believers.

Bewildered. Pissy. I got the disclosure (notes the police officer made) about my tickets. He sure embellished what happened. It's outright lying. And he completely ommited the fact he threatened me shouting at me. I'm nervous. If a policeman lies, what does that tell me? You cant trust them. There is such a difference between officers though. A while after I was ticketed a police in town here stopped me. Immediately i'm worried now what did i do? Right away I said was it my u turn? He just said no that's legal I stopped you because there's a lot of theft around here. I explained my son worked near there and was looking for a place to park and sleep overnight. I asked this policeman about my tickets I just had and i said ''it seems like police know where to park and catch people'' This cop was so different from the one who ticketed me, that one shouted aggressively at me. I shut right up after that. Anyhow the one who was nice said to file it in court and yes police do very often have certain places to find easy tickets. He just said Walmart was the best area to sleep, but he took the time to explain what demerit points I'd end up with. Why do some cops have to be such pricks? I cant believe the full out lying he did in his notes. I'm a shy person but this guy should be told how to behave in a traffic stop and not to embellish the incident with things that didnt happen. I already know a judge will believe the officer over me, but i'm making the truth clear. I'll admit to my fault and be honest instead of being like that prick making up lies. Sorry too long.. Advice online says don't make it about the officer. Too bad I'm telling the truth because he didn't.

it is posible hat the judge will believe the cop but that all depends on other cases the judge has seen from this cop. i once got a ticket for squeeling tires from a rookie cop. since i represented myself i had the right to cross examine the cop. i tore him to shreds and embarrased him completely. my defence was i spun my tires but they did not squeel because the roads were wet and i had an empty truck. i almost won until my wife said something innocently lol. long story short the judge said he hadn't been this entertained in years, he found me guilty but only half fine , i actually had the whole courtroom erupting in laughter every time i cross examined the cop, when we left the courtroom the rookie cop was red as a lobster from both anger and embrrasment.

if possible it may be good idea to request to see the chief of police. you can start by saying you knew what you did is wrong ( if you are guilty) but you are upset how the cop acted to you. explain in every detail. explain that you aren't filing an official complaint but maybe someone should talk to the cop. unfortunately cops are humans so i believe most are good but there are bad apples in the bunch and it's our job to expose the bad apples. most cops don't want those bad apples because it makes them look bad. one time i was cresting a hill in a place i just moved to and was doing 67 mph in a 50 mph zone. i got pulled over and explained i was moving so was in hurry, i was honest. he then told me of all the speed trps in town lol

still fighting this damned bug
i duno if this will help, but something my father swears by is using a multidophilus. He gets them at the vitamin cottage/natural grocers. Always in the refrigerated section and needs to stay refrigerated at home. He has battled a horrible colon cancer and now any time he has a stomach bug, that's what he uses to help aid in a quick get rid of and recover from. i hope you get to feeling more like yourself soon.
 
i hope things improve for you soon
They should, thank you.
i actually have some hope right now... an odd feeling to have again.
i spent half the day down at the hospital for the final research study in hospital day (still have a phone call next week).
Then spent time at the pharmacy getting my CICP straightened out and was able to pick up my meds i need so i can intake food again.
While in line for that, the social worker for my pcp office called me to see if i received the list of therapists and if i had any questions as well as to see if i wanted to use any of the 5 allowed visits from the person in the pcp office to see if i could get an evaluation and suggestions on where to go n what to do next.
Still freezing and exhausted... scared of the unknown and what needs to happen, beaten down by the stress of needing to deescalate situations with my husband at home...
however... i'm still hopeful right now. i'm hopeful i am heading in the right direction. So it is a huge improvement for me.
