hugs veiled tight

day today. actually slept *gasp shock*

still have a killer headache. Think it's stress.

So over the whole christmas prep thing,
 
Headaches are an ass, no meds... (well xanax but avoiding) no scented candles, no meditation CDS, no one to "talk" me down... And no pups... They are still at the farm until I load up. I can't have them here. All my relaxation tecniquies are gone. BLOWS. I cannot wait for a break.
 
I don't know what to tell my mother. No idea. I just don't respect how she goes about expressing herself most of the time.

My day was okay. Trying not to be hard on myself for making mistakes.. but it's really hard to keep track of things seeing that I don't have my own desk or computer. I caught myself telling myself that making mistakes is beneath me. Hah! Not becuase I am perfect, but bc mistakes weren't allowed growing up. And the my mother (a while back) tells me that I am more of a perfectionist than she is. What a blow to the mental left nut!

Grandmother is coming tomorrow (sarcastic yays). I feel like shit. For once all I ant to do is sleep. just what I do when I am this stressed, I try to escape *sighs*

curls up and hides.
 
The stress of the upcoming holiday has exhausted me.
Just so much going on, and so many things to do.
Traffic is crazy, Walmart is packed... everyones going to get homemade gifts, lol
 
I don't know if I've been in this thread before or not...

Anyways I just got back from the lake today. My uncle took me ice fishing. I caught some walleye and pike and my uncle caught a cold LOL.

I'm feeling a bit better but I hate the holiday stress also.
 
yikes! the kids at school were just buzzing today. all excited about christmas and the party tomorrow. i had to take my class and leave the lunchroom early because of the maddening din. made me shake like jello. other than that, a pretty good day.

LOL! Cathy! I love to hear your daily stuff with your kids at school.

My days have been very busy. I keep getting sick though. I've got infection number 2 going right now, which I'm trying to quelch out. UGh!

I'm totally stressing myself out for the holidays because, well, I want to save face. I need to make sure that I give the perfect gift.... Some are for people that I genuinely care for but for others it's to make sure they don't feel left out... Why do I do this? Anyway, I'm finishing up scrapbook number 4 and working on scrapbook number 5. I hope they like them.... I can not wait for December 26th! SLEEP!
 
UGGGG!!!! What a week. Every day this week I've felt worse and my anxiety higher. Muscles hurt, tired, extremely jumpy...you name it, I think I've had it this week. The worst has been the muscle pain in my upper chest and, for some reason, indigestion out the wazoo. Doesn't make for a happy combination.

Last night my husband handed me the phone and the card with my therapist's pager number on it and said, 'Call him...that's what he's there for'. Man, I still hate asking for help. So I paged him, he called back and we talked for a while. All of this started on Monday-my hubby went back to work on Monday. And yes, I'm worried about him getting hurt again. It's so nice when others can see what you can't when it's right under your nose. *grr* Add that to all of the 'stuff' I've been dealing with, and holiday stress...seems I've been having myself some good, old fashioned panic attacks. Lovely. Since I'm on a very low dose of meds, he said to go ahead and up the dose for the next few days until Christmas is past and I can drop that stressor out of my life. I was surprised when he said a lot of his patients up their doses of meds around the holidays just to help get through them.

I keep telling myself that I'm going to get better and I'm not going to let it beat me...but this PTSD bitch puts up one hell of a fight and it seems like every freakin' step is a battle. Too bad we can't send the PTSD on a cruise or something for the holidays. LOL
 
Marlene:

It's funny I've been thinking about taking an extra dose or two myself! LOL, I had no idea that was common for the holidays.. hmmmm maybe I should talk to my doc. then again, I'd rather be stubborn and just stick to what I am on...

sighs and grrs

I know why my grandmother and I *don't* get on.

bangs head hard.

Had her sniping at me for the last two days about how lazy I am and how it's so shocking that I don't have a job and Grrrrrs

At least *for once* my bro is getting as much shit as me. Not that it makes me feel any better.
