duck Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I managed a shower today then I went to the mall and have coffee with my retired friends. It was okay. Then I went to the band and pharmacy to pick up my medications. I tried to buy gas but my credit card did not work so I called the company. They said my card is okay so it’s probably the gas station machine. I am sleepy again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so expensive but I don't know if I can handle a seven day liquid diet that is required after the surgery. I have certain medical conditions and a seven day totally liquid diet wouldn't be that good for me. Anything dental pretty much puts me in a panic and demoralizes me. - sigh - Hugs to all of you out there. You are in good company. I don't like going to the dentist either. I will be seeing an oral surgeon for the extraction of all four of my wisdom teeth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Things have changed a lot even from when I was a kid. When I was a kid you went to your dentist or to your doctor and that person did it all. Now all they are is the person that tells us we can go to other people. What a scam. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APFSDS Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I feel disappointed in myself. The world seems to be dissolving into fudge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monicott17 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Not a great day. More anxious than usual today and still feeling the after effects of a migraine episode. For several days now, a minor thing related to work (something my boss kind of dropped the ball on) has been bugging me and I can’t let it go. I took care of what I needed to but the way it was handled from the start is my issue. In the grand scheme of things, it really is a minor thing but I continue to dwell on it and it is no doubt contributing to my anxiety spike. Frustrating! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epictetus Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Feeling a bit frustrated. My family expects me to make perfect medical decisions about my health but they don't have a history of making of great medical decisions for themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardest part about these times is people trying to tell us what to do and control us. As if we need that on top of everything else. The perfect medical decision for you is whatever you want it to be. It's your life and your decision not theirs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistoowillpass Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Difficult day. Got a letter from my sister-in-law that was hard to deal with. We've had problems over the past year. She lives abroad and before the pandemic, she had a bunch of stuff delivered from Amazon and other online stores to my house, for me to bring to her when I traveled. But then travel stopped. I packed up and shipped what I could (books and clothes), but some of the items were not allowed to be shipped (cosmetics, liquids, anything containing alcohol). It's been a source of contention since. I know I made a commitment to get these things to her, but that was before pandemic, travel restrictions, and a war in her region (of the middle east) that has all made it very unlikely that I'm going to travel to see her. I just want forgiveness for promising something that now I can't deliver. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I had been on the couch since Tuesday evening. I just sat there and slept. Finally showered and brushed my teeth. I seem to fall into this trap from time to time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot ship everything she wants. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all need downtime especially we who struggle with depression. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monicott17 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Looks like a big decision is looming for me in the near future and it is likely not going to go well no matter what I decide. Times like this is when it hurts the most not having friends to turn to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I'll never tell anyone I'm afraid but I am afraid. I never imagined I would have to go through a time like this. It would be different if I had any faith at all in the leaders but every day feels like waking up on a plane and the pilots come over the load speaker and say woohoo we're drunk! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
