My old doctor told me to use the albuterol inhaler (aka rescue inhaler) before I go out to work in the yard, exercise, etc. Also since I began wearing a mask outside of the house, i haven;t had a severe attack. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the next day will be a better one for you. True. Maybe I'll do some karaoke on my own in order to let it out. Or scream into a pillow. I don't want to frighten my roommate haha I appreciate that. Thank you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watalife Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Time to start the winter diet Edited October 19, 2021 by watalife 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 The Atkins diet saved my life for sure but it's very hard to do in today's world. Carbs are everywhere. Mom and I both did it together or I probably never would have done it. What I do now is more like Weight Watchers. I don't recommend any diet company that sends you their food through the mail. You'll find better tasting food in the cat bowl. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scream. If that's not available, maybe in a car on the highway with the windows rolled up?

juno_writes Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 My Dad's not doing well. He did eat two bites from his old recipe that I made, but that was it. Family feeling exhausted, defeated, and sad. I'm trying to make myself care about work, which I still need to do tonight. I used to be a morning person but can't make myself get up early anymore. The best part of the day is over as soon as the alarm goes off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know that he appreciates all that you do even if he doesn't or can't say it. Hope you are able to muster up enough energy to get something done before the night is over. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Anyone else wake up with a pounding heart from anxiety? My body is seriously out of whack at the moment. I need complete rest. Do we ever get it? Unlikely. I got mom pestering me as soon as I wake up..Never mind my own twisted thoughts gnawing away at me. At least I got some sleep. In short bursts granted, but it was there.

ladysmurf Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I honestly cried myself to sleep. I want some relief from this illness, and no matter what I try nothing ever works as far as therapies and medications. How much longer can a person take?

If it continues I have to take .05mg of clonazepam to help me settle down. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindahurt Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Having coffee right now and getting a slow start this morning. I am an early-bird and like to get up around 4am. I feel a little lazy but plan to get all my errands completed today. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightjar Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Back at mom's tonight. It feels like all of the hard work I've done carving a life for myself has counted for nothing. I was too anxious to stay at mine, though I thought about it. I couldn't bear the thought of being sleep disturbed again. What can you do? If you're ill, you're ill I guess. On a positive note I called a counsellor today and she called back.. She does EMDR therapy aswell as counselling which I've heard good things about. I may have to dip into house sale savings to get a couple of those sessions I couldn't share anything with mom as usual this evening which is so sad. She knows I'm anxious. Maybe that's enough. That someone knows and is there. Hope everyone is having a good evening 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It is very hard @Nightjarsufferering like we are and feeling so alone in the world. The people in my life are either mostly absent or worse I feel like they would use my issues against me in some way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I know. I know, you know, I know.. Lol It's easy to forget the depth of people's suffering when you are feeling better. Universe wanted to remind me It's hard to know what to say to someone who is suffering hard. I'm sure I've got it wrong many times. But you always seem to get it right sober 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I don't know I think I had another nervous breakdown. What does that mean? It means I have to get better before anyone notices how bad I'm doing. It's all it means. They can't see me this way. I hate this life. Alone doesn't even begin to explain how I feel in the this life. I wish I was alone. I would do anything to be free of the people that endlessly hurt me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
