How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Aurelia]

This sounds dumb to many I'm sure but I'm scared to drive and get a job, though I want to do both. I'm working toward both right now and I'm terrified. What if I crash the car? What if I suck at the job?

I'm feeling I need my missing person. That isn't going to happen. Alternately if the person that is existentially 'me' could get themselves back together that'd probably suffice. I'm not alright with broken-ness at the moment. I will feel differently soon, I'm writing about right now.

I get that


peace

Oh, are you a Black Belt, now? Either way, hope it helps!

yes but it (1) still relaxes me (2) part of my social life and (3) I just like it. I might miss it tonight I'm kind of spacey

You will do fine, It's the fear of the unknown is what you're experiencing

 

[Holding my breath]

I just want friends

Hi Kriss pleased to have you hear. Welcome to the SF family. Hope you stick around and share your story. Xx

I think it's only natural to have fear of the unknown. I believe you are an intelligent and caring person capable of whatever you put your mind to.

That's not dumb at all. I fear those things too. But I believe in you and think you can achieve what you want to do in life.

i think both of those things scare most people. i'm not saying you can pass a driving test first time, or get the first job you apply to, but i know you can accomplish both these things with no problem. you have traveled an amazing road and are finally ready to reap the rewards

Cool!

this will now be my new excuse/reason for every thing! thank you (so much..) j/k. my sister took a really long time to get her license too, and ... well, let's just say, she didn't have any short supply of "available drivers!" ;D hahaha...! (^:

Maybe it's kind of like, "Love & Marriage?" Isn't that the Married w/Children theme-song! (or is that not the most perfect example. . .)

I hope that you can get and feel looser about both. The worry is typically worse than what may actually happen. Most crashes are minor fender benders and you learn. And you do seem to have a fine head on your shoulders so I have no doubt with the right fit you and the company that you will do well at the job like you did with studies.

 

[Windhover]

I get that

Sorry you know the feeling(s). They're dismal. I hope while you are waiting and preparing for your challenge that there is some good, steadying peace.

Does your SI-Joint pain get worse when standing? Just wondering... for some it does (as opposed to lower lumbar) like w/L-5 : more so, when seating.

Thanks for asking @MisterBGone
Sitting is the worst. Keeping moving is best but stuff like mopping the floor vacuuming, lifting or bending also puts me in pain. I've learned to use my knees when bending to pick things up. I guess everything is stiffened up. I've got an appointment where it sounds like I'll have injections into the area, and I might be repeating myself. Getting older everyone gets more sore, I'd just like to be able to do things without the pain.

I'm hoping the injections can offer some help! And yes, I can see precisely how those specific activities can / or could -- exacerbate it then. And right, always good to do (w/the bending of the knees, thing). As I understand it, you can mess up your back just by bending over underneath the kitchen sink and leaning forward & reaching something to grab... Like, why aren't, or can't our spines just be slink-y's for darn sake(s)?! ;-D

Watching Winnie the Pooh blood and honey...this movie is so weird. There goes my childhood.

i don't know if this will help but my wife has gotten knee injections 2 times. 1st was right knee 2nd was both knees. the injection site felt no pain the first time and only minor pain for a few minutes the 2nd time. both times it really helped and lasted at least 6 months. if you get the injections i hope it helps you a lot.

I couldn't even finish the Pooh movie. It was just bad. So was Imaginary which I actually had some hope for. Trying out the new Wonka movie now...there's hardly anything good left to watch anymore that I haven't seen.
