How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[SillyOldBear]

Migraine over, I'm tired but better and on the mend today. So I'm pleased about that. it's surprising to find posivity and good will when out doing errands. Today was one of those kind of days.

YAY!

Its 1:23 am

I slept a few hours.

My chest hurts when I breathe. ER doctor says GERD and a peptic ulcer. I am on a medicine for it, but it hasn't helped yet.

Alone. Not in a good way.
Thundering and lightening out since 4am. So another long day to pass in the house…

How long is it supposed to take for medicine to work? Hope you feel better soon.

Wish you could get more comfortable with being alone. And hope some of the Texas rain moves this way.

I don't want to jinx myself but with my new medication added and some acupuncture I'm actually a little better I think than I was mood-wise. Let's hope it continues. I hope it's not just a fluke.

I hope your wife feels better soon. It seems there're a lot of summer virus things going around. My grandma used to call it having the glurky. Sorry you lost the $ & ¢ mike.

thank you, she feels a little better today

I'm feeling a little better today than yesterday. I'm embarrassed to say that ending things is on my mind constantly. I even dream about it. Not good, I know. I'm working hard at keeping myself safe. I'll call my counselor if things get ridiculous because I'm proverbially ambivalent.

you are trying your best and that's all that you can do. as for the thoughts try to fight them. try to condition your brain to redirect thoughts when they happen. it isn't 100% perfect but helps most of the time. it takes a long time to conquer those thoughts but i know you can do it, just don't give up

Sorry to hear thar Mike. I hope she feels better soon and you too

Anxious but for a reason. I saw someone doing some brickwork on a garden wall and I was going to ask their advice but then I completely chickened out like I was a shy 10 year old kid 😢 Not sure if asking someone on spec on a warm day while drenched in sweat is the right approach, but it seemed like a good idea... then not 🤷

i have a possible better way. tell him it's hot out today, would you like a nice cold water or soft drink. if he accepts shoot the breeze for a bit then ask your question. if his answer helps bring him a drink on the next day as well

like i'm slipping fast like turkey shit down the chute. my health is taking a hard hit lately and i have been trying to hide it. my eldest son knows and i couldn't hide it from him, i thought i had. so now he wants me to remain calm and not make my physical/emotional health any worse. i know he is right but how can i not stress. i'm going to talk to my doctor about increasing my lorazepam for a couple of months. right now i'm on the edge of the abyss , but i am who i am and that same fighting spirit is still there

I did the next best thing, I found a local company on the internet and sent them a message. Their website looks very professional and even had a joke about feeding the Cookie Monster when it requested permissions on first access. They also included a checklist of things people should do when vetting tradespeople. Mind you they could have a genius webmaster and are rubbish at being builders but at least I feel like I've done something other than burying my head in the sand and wishing it would all go away!
