What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Dentists do give plates to prevent teeth grinding if it is an ongoing problem

Here in the States they have some in drugstores and stores like Walmart. Of course they aren't as good as the custom ones, but better then nothing I suppose.

I'm feeling compassion for all who are suffering here. :hug: Hugs to all. Strong though gentle ones(I wouldn't want to hurt anyone) or a hand to hold. Whatever is allowed.
 
I'm feeling elated. I have an invitation to dinner for Christmas with my pastor and his wife, my therapist promised to read up and study up on PTSD over the holidays (just got back from seeing her; it was a good session), and I made a good breakfast of some pancakes for myself this morning. That last is important, as I often just have coffee, and really, that is NOT a good breakfast. But! I often just don't feel like cooking when I first get up. So, today was a good day.
 
Clinched my teeth in my sleep again, feel a horrible headache because of it

(((PH))), you have my sympathy. Since my accident, my clenching and grinding has become worse. I wear a stress guard, but I will need to wear a splint - hopefully just overnight.

I saw a maxillary (?) (jaw) consultant this afternoon about my jaw and I have osteo arthritis in both sides of my jaw. He confirmed that it was the stress clenching that was the cause.

So, I am feeling very angry that once again it shows another way that the truck driver has has an impact (no pun intended) on my life.

I feeling thankful that my H came into the appointment with me. It wasn't too bad, but at one point when I was going over the accident and hospital stay (again), I felt darling H take my hand and give it a reassuring squeeze.

I'm going to log off soon and go try and relax, my shoulders are feeling stiff and tense, I think a heat wrap is needed.
