How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[DowntheRabbitHole]

Sorry to hear the loss of your dog. Pets are great company. The Dog that you see in my picture I lost him back in 1996, and at this time I really miss him, he had love and care. What I am not having as I do not have friends and isolation is killing me. I am from Canada and every day things are getting more difficult. Sometimes I feel that dogs can be nicer than humans, I can see when I am closer to dog parks Dogs can make friends with other dogs. Your dogs seems so friendly

My aunt used to raise and show OES when I was a kid. Went to many shows with her and helped deliver a couple litters. Even was a "nurse" to the vet for a midnight c-section once. So sheepdogs hold a very special place in my heart.
I agree that dogs are nicer than most humans, but if you want to connect with another human, I'm here

she goes for her last ride on the 8th. i think the hardest part will be in the car. both dogs went everywhere with us, last month we lost her brother. he died at home and of course she saw that, next monday she goes so the car is going to be awfully quiet

Grateful for some things. Other things not. Feeling lonely for my partner even thought there were the problems and struggles. I don't like being far away from loved ones. I miss my son.

 

[Angie]

Woke with a headache plus body aches.

I'm on antibiotics for an ear infection, which I think is making my stomach upset. Something is, at any rate.

Weight loss has stalled for the last 2 months. Grr

and its high summer in Texas, so the next 2 months (plus most of September) will be extremely hot.

Just... yuk I find myself frustrated with both weight loss and medical shit. I am slated for a series of procedures that I don't want in July.

Oh, and the car needs inspected and registration purchased.

Nope, not a happy bunny.

Not a happy bunny like @Angie am groggy and under-slept. Went to bed early after my 5am wake up, to find the mega insomnia was back. Soon as I lay down I started feeling anxious, for no reason, I had been calm all day. Might have been an adrenaline spike at just the wrong time - body trying to keep going when it was time to stop, but sleep seemed to be a distant possibility, especially after I tried hypnosis recording and still couldn't drift off at 2+ hours in bed. I took small increments of pregabalin until it eventually knocked me out, was sorely tempted to dig out the diazepam, but managed to avoid this, probably that which has caused this in the first place. So did get some sleep but it was hard work and had to force it.

Its awful when sleep is hard work, I so relate!

Hope your procedures go smoothly this month Angie. Can't believe it's July already.

please... help... i feel very much so on edge without a reason

😢 Sorry you are on edge. Try some kind of deep, mindful breathing, or visualise a safe space, or try to go through your senses noting things you can see, hear, touch, smell and taste, it can help a little and disengage the body's alert response. Also there might be a reason but you can't yet see it through the cloud of anxiety or stress. I hope you feel better soon.

thank you Lane

So sorry Rabbit. It will take a while to stop looking around and expecting to see your boy. But you do have so many wonderful memories.

Sorry you are going through so much right now. But please do give yourself a HUGE congratulations on the weight loss. The plateaus, however, are brutal.

Tired but in a good way, because I was being productive

I don't know if you suffer from panic attacks, or acute anxiety? But if you are open to them, and you maybe are not. Some meds might be the answer or solution, in the absence of a better way to deal with the distress (of all of this). PRN, maybe? I don't know~ / Good luck! : )

I mean, part of the reason is you're in medical school. Just remember. Not exactly, a breeze, or "walk in the park!"
