How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[Livelife]

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

mike.

I'm glad your spirit is remaining strong and intact and pray it stays that way for you.
Extra good luck with getting your doctor to giving you some extra help

So sorry you are going through all this I know the feeling, getting stressed is not good for us but when we're hit by stressful situations it's easier said than done to just remain calm, especially on the edge of that abyss. I hope you can pull away from the edge and get the help and support you need.

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

Thanks. Sending it your way🌬️⛈️

Really sorry to hear this mike. I admire your fighting spirit. I hope you can accept some love and care from your family, know they're just anxious for you and probably anxious for them but you don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

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!

Well done you!

Sad... friend's husband had serious fall and prognosis isn't good...

 

[Kiwi2016]

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.

Hope meds helping a bit

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.

So good to hear

Sending you s...even though not easy for you for your son to know.. remember to be gentle on yourself and remember his support is out of love.... hoping your doc increases your med to ease the anxiety ... and remember you aren't alone as we're all here....
