How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Lane]

Very messed up at the moment.

I'm sorry to hear this and I hope you can be very kind to yourself and practice lots of self care.

Around 18 hours left to my anatomy exams and heart palpitations wont leave me alone. They have been here since yesterday. I hate the oral exam system, why didnt i know any better while choosing university.

I hope your anxiety gets better soon and the exams go well.

 

[AvidFan]

Anxious. The insomnia-inspired adrenaline spiking in my system is compounding matters, I've felt literally paralysed with anxiety a few times today, this is not like me. I may try a little relaxing run to burn off some cortisol and hopefully help me sleep tonight as tomorrow is a right slog.

Godd practice, for what to do, or how to handlge tings/it... if it wshould happen to come up again, when you are in your real or actual practice. Not that you should get used to it, but (that's about the only silver0lining, I can see!). I wish they gave some other ways as well. As not all are accustomed to that style or means/mode, or route~ of exam* Good luck! :^)

My arms are still aching from pulling weeds and sawing trees on Sunday 🤯🤯

 

[AvidFan]

Fed up, I went and ran 4 miles to clear my head of one major issue. Felt a bit less anxious. Got in and there's a message waiting with another fucking piece of major bad news. So last Wednesday my bro-in-law died and I've had other shit to deal with more keeps coming and my mental and emotional surge capacity is just gone. It's all overflowing as fucking dread and anxiety. If only I could run 24/7.

Ugh. That sounds like a lot all at once. I’m sorry. I know what it’s like to be that overwhelmed.

Thanks, appreciated 😎 I'll survive I always do, it's just all a lot from every angle at the moment.

 

[Aurelia]

Thanks, as always. There’s more I can do, but I could do with giving myself some credit.

A change to my pattern of behavior. What I’m currently doing isn’t wrong, but I’m unsatisfied and impatient. I want so much more out of this life, but I’m unwilling to do what it takes to have it.

Likewise, I think of you often. I’ve missed our chats.

May I ask more specifically what it is that you dream about? What do you think will make you happy at this time? I believe nothing is impossible. Just because we don't recognize we have the ability to proper doesn't mean it's not there.

I start my job tomorrow. 🔥⛪✝️ The Lord answers prayers, my brothers and sisters. You are all my family and I feel a certain specific love toward all of you, having known you for many years on SF. And I just want to give hope to those who are without it right now and who are depressed like I was sitting at home alone all the time. Keep praying for strength, trust in Jesus and the Lord's timing, stay in the Bible, and stay patient. You are loved very dearly and you have a very meaningful purpose in this world.

That is so great to hear. I love hearing about successes. May the new job be what you need at this point in time.

Yes, and I am super sensitive to diphenhydramine. 25mg will knock me out for 24 hours. Regular dose for adults is 50mg. I find that it doesn't give me quality sleep, it just knocks me out and makes me feel like I've caught a cold.

This is a response for many people. It's not recommended to take it for very long at a time.
And just fyi, the 25mg tablet can be broken/cut in half for a dose of 12.5mg if that is of any interest to those with a certain sensitivity to the chemical. I've never looked but there may be a pediatric dose of this amount as well.

[Windhover]

If only I could run 24/7.

I've had that exact thought for myself.

I hope you can grab some quiet time AvidFan, put your feet on the floor and feel that grounded peacefulness amid all the stressful stuff. I'm sorry for your family's loss. Take care.

Suggstion from seabird to take with a grain of salt: when my mind simply won't shut itself down, the visualisation of that simple bodily connection to the Earth coupled with breathing exercises helps.

hug

So sorry to hear of bro-in-law death. You just don't need to have any more else to deal with. Have you ever thought of a job change. Maybe you could find something less stressful.

And my arms are aching from all the pruning I did today. Will rake it up tomorrow.

I wish I could help SillyOldBear. It's supposed to get quite warm this week where I am. Perhaps where you are too, so take good self care with breaks and cool water.

Yep, supposed to get rather warm here too. Just will make it a point to get stuff done early. Hope you can get you run in early too.

Thanks I need to get back in the habit of getting up and actually out the door early lol.

I read a bunch of stuff about depression as it relates to trauma, and deep, old anger, and psychotherapy, and I get it, intellectually. It's embarassing to still feel hard done by. I want to fly back over, and ask my husband to communicate, even if it's to tell me to f.o.
