I woke feeling anxious but feel a little better now. I am scared as to how I will manage over the next 10 days or so. Open air theatre tomorrow night, H is away most of next week, I'm at work every day next week (on my own) and I'm in charge, I need to walk the dogs twice each day, drive to York on Friday, forum teddy bears picnic on Sat, drive home Sunday, work again on Mon 23rd.

It all feels too much, I know I shouldn't look at it as a whole. I need to break it down into manageable bites, but that is easier said then done.

Today feels better than yesterday .... but the day is still young. I am going to go shop for some flowers and hopefully get up the nerve to go to lunch with an old friend. I hate that it is so hard to do stuff with old friends. Right now this is a huge source of anxeity for me. In my head I know I need to expand my "bubble" and my heart misses them and I expend a whole lot of energy arguing in my head ... so why the big ole' BUT? .... so then angry with myself creeps in to. OK - 1 step at a time - going to go shop and plan to go to lunch.

I am very tired. I stayed up very late and I did not get enough sleep. I am feeling ok. I woke up with some anxiety, so I took meds for it. I get my granddaughter today. I hope I will be ok for her coming over. I am so sorry I stayed up so late.:confused:

I'm feeling a little calmer. The house is quiet and I feel I can let the mask slip a little.

I am feeling so uncertain, and I don't like it.

Learned by chance that my neighbor's lady brother died and that his funeral was this morning but I didn't know that when she ignored me the other night.

I'm doing lots of walking to process this, as I let go of whatever I am, as I figure out this "new normal" and at this time I don't have a clue what it is going to be.

I really believe her not acknowledging me the other night happened for a reason as I have so much pent-up anger towards her from the past where she caused me so much anxiety at the time.

Like I said, I don't like going through this :poop:!!

I am feeling much better with the anemia today. After my blood test I started some iron tablets and they seem to be kicking in now.

I'm quite cheerful!:tup:

I am waking up and feeling better. What a relief, I hated feeling like that. That will teach me.:p

I'm feeling better since my P doc added new med. I was feeling pretty trapped in hopelessness for several months before I gave in. I knew when the news of being a grandma didn't send me to 'Cloud 9', that I had to do something. I'm glad I did!

I was thinking reading a couple of other threads, when (I) don't understand something, I try to ask. But only if I care to know.
Personally, I am not a very good communicator, so that blame is mine. But when I think about it, no one asks (in 'real life') what I mean if they don't understand. Even if they say they don't understand (not really by their own choice but it arises).
So I guess, they don't care or don't want to know.

So I guess I just didn't understand, too slow to learn and missed the forest ('actions') for the trees.
I guess that makes me feel slow, or silly, not aware of 'the real world/ life', tired of trying, still like Helen Keller, for the most part, lol.
However, that's not surprising to me, either.

My mom said just before she died, in response to asking her "how do you know if someone genuinely cares" (it was specific as regards whom I had been dating at the time, although I meant it as regards some family members also, and in general, as I knew I would never be able to ask her opinion/ wisdom about it again), and she said "Actions. Words mean nothing. Actions mean everything".

I knew (as they were) that those were going to be some of the last words she wanted to say (she said others, also), as people often try to, the most important advice they feel they can leave with you.
That and, "Anyone can tell how you are, pick people who value it".

Sixteen years ago and I forgot them.
But they're pretty straight forward, really, kind of sums much up.
