Breathing exercises, cold shower, and going to the gym are all good things for us. Thank you duck, you are totally right. Sometimes, I don't have the will, energy or time to do the breathing exercise, but I'm doing the cold showers, and I'll start the gym when I get my monthly pay, my back will be thankful. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothing_man Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Tonight I've been thinking a lot in two friends I lost in the space of 2 years. It's such a hurtful thing for me, because I couldn't be with them on their last moments. The pandemic didn't allow me to travel those 400 km to see one of them; and the other one, she didn't want me to see her, she was trying to keep me away from pain, we would just chat. It's so hurtful for me, I miss them so much and I don't understand why things were so unfair for them, there were two angels of a person, not a little piece of evil, not a single piece of evil in any of them. A thought I have is... that maybe is not that bad you know, it is bad how they suffered, but what's here for some of us? We could catch a breeze of joy once in a while, but mostly... it's fighting against the wind all the time, well that's my experience. Continuous fight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightjar Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Sleep was a bit crazy as usual. Waking up a lot, and stressing for a while. Not as bad as it has been though, so there's that. I don't know how today will pan out. I would love to rest but I don't know how much of that I'll get with mom around. I have to shower and wash my hair aswell (hate doing it). Last night I had to say, ok, I'm going to my room now, I need to be quiet and relax. It seemed to work. I had no more knocks on the door. But I had to really spell it out. And I had to suck it up throughout the day with the countless bids for attention. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nojoy Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 @cherryapplez2020 I'm so sorry you lost your grandmother. I know it is harder at Christmas than any other time of year. The first years after my father (1997) , my grandmother (2004) & my mother in (2015) were the worst. And it doesn't get easier as time goes by. Remember the good times you had with & know she loved you. Think about writing down all the good times you had in a memory book. share with your family if you chose or keep it just for yourself to read when you think of her. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monicott17 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I had a crummy week but doing a bit better since talking with my therapist. I had to get some stuff off my chest and he just listens without judging and that really helps. I wish I had someone in my life that I could talk freely with like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you care to elaborate what is making you will this way. You can PM me if you prefer, but we are all here for each other, and if we can help you in some small way then feel free to share. Life is hard, and decisions we make can be tough. Sharing can help you understand your emotions or simply ease a burden by talking. hoping you feel able to reach out here. Meanwhile respectful hugs 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the dentists like they used to be one that did everything. He never knocked you out either. You don't want to go through the really crazy procedures awake like when they try to pull a tooth and it breaks. I think I knew his type as a kid, when he pulled a couple of my teeth. That was an experience dreaded by everyone. I remember not looking forward to the day of the procedure. The instrument was basically metal pliers. It was everything I expected -- it felt like he was trying to rip my head off along with the tooth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duck Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I have been indoors all day. One of my friend called so we talked for a bit. I am still healing from dental surgery. I hope all the pain is gone soon. Actually, it is more of a discomfort than pain. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know there was one of every profession. If that person wasn't good at their job your only other choice was to not go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 It actually wasn't that bad of a day most of the day but we got part of that bad storm today. A tree fell down and knocked out the power for 9 hours. It was crazy the power lines were laying right across the road in front of my house and people kept running over it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nojoy Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I really should be crying, yelling & hiding in bed. There was a leak in the heating oil tank, bigger than could be repaired without high cost of replacement. I'm just sitting here shaking my head (been doing that since yesterday when my nephew gave me the bad news) and thinking of plan B for heat. Guess the meds are doing are good job & the coping skills I learned in therapy are working. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember the dentist saying right in front of me these are the worst teeth I've ever seen. He even called people over and said you won't believe this you have to see this! i know but if they are in pain, it hurts so much you can't do anything about it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Currently, wound up like a spring. Have lost patience with mom for the day. I'm tired and she won't stop flitting around me, fussing and demanding attention. It's honestly like having a child. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremebeginner Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I understand how crappy the migraine alone can make you feel. Are you able to sleep, if so that’s my only suggestion. If it continues past a good sleep,, can you speak with a doctor or nurse? Do you have migraines often? Stress used to trigger mine, and they finally went away after years of suffering, when I finally admitted I was burnt out. Hugs for you if you feel like them, but get into bed and sleep 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
