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

[VioletButterfly]

Ocean5 - Thank you. It's gotten worse thru the day. Not sure where it's going. Now, I'm just in a very black place. Don't know what's going on. VB

Ocean5 - Thank you. It's gotten worse thru the day....

VB I wish I knew how to help you...I know dark place all too well. How it gets darker and darker. Been there too often. When I was younger I didn't even understand it --- it just got darker and darker. Probably why I'm here so often now, because people here understand.

Is there something you can do, call, or take, to try to get you out of this - even if just for an hour or two? Until tomorrow?

I have medicines now, but self-medicate with alcohol during day because side-effects are much less than medicines for me. At least it helps me to think clearer, and release some stress for awhile.

If you have emergency medicine maybe consider it. I always have a Xanax pill on me as insurance policy in case things get too bad. And most here know my views on Benzos.

Quote for you...

VB I use to keep that quote on my bed stand, bathroom, and desk.

Sleep deprivation getting the best of me. tired, anxious but underneath that I know I'm safe and I'm OK. That's a comforting feeling

I'm feeling anxious today, which seems to be a constant for the past couple weeks.

Somewhat frustrated. I have a chronic condition that is suppose to be treated by a specialist. However, symptoms became bothersome, called him and he sent me to my regular doctor. The nurse practitioner I saw today said she was frustrated for me, because the specialist didn't see me for what is obviously symptoms from my chronic condition. Might be time to look for a new specialist. So we put a bandaid on it and hopefully that will help the symptoms. If they get bad again I am to go to the hospital. I don't like doing that. Just crazy!

Exhausted because I didn't sleep well last night. My muscles feel like someone tied them up in knots, very sore today. :(

 

[Tinyflame]

Worried about my pup, as out of the blue she fell twice today on her walk! :( Am hoping it's a tender foot or muscle strain that threw her off balance. She's cried in her sleep now too. :(

 

[Queen Boudica]

Terrified, scared. Just want it all to go away.

@RavenGirl : I'm so with you in this. I also have a lack of sleep...and sore muscles. *offering relaxing hugs*

I'm feeling nervous.

 

[RavenGirl]

@Anrish, sorry we are in the same boat, I hope you sleep better tonight! ;) relaxing hugs back at you!

 

[Gadgie]

Yea! I can relate to lack of sleep the only way I can get a full nights sleep, is to take, what I call my knock out pill, (Zopliclone) but I can only take one every nine days, as the doctor won't allow me any more?

If it's not nightmares that keep me awake, it's the back pain that means I can't stay in one position for long.

 

[notsurewheretoturn]

@Gadgie I can certainly relate to the back pain. Physiotherapist seems to have the same attitude as my GP; we can't fix it with surgery so you're on your own.

Weather been awful here with snow expected at the weekend. So I've called off all my plans to go out, it was bad enough being caught in all the rain we had yesterday.
