today better. even used the whipper sniper!!!!!!!!!!

still darn sore but my focus is a little better today. just

going with the flow. done some cleaning and study, more tonight.

i am resigned to being who i am, everything about me;

the physical, the mental, medical and the emotional are

all components of me. no use in complaining, of which i

rarely do, i am living 1 day at a time. i am determined

with a few things, 1 finishing my diploma, get more mentally

stable and sorting out this possible fibro and my sugars.

i will do a priority list and work thru it. change what i can

and acknowledge what i can't, and what i can work on.

i want badly to renter the work-force, been too long and i am

feeling inept about my capabilities- working thru this with

my therapist. slow and steady wins the race. ok, thx

for listening. with compassion, jamie.

thought i'd start a new thread, the other was getting big.

cheers. ps, bloods done today. sleep is still spasmodic.

with extra compassion, jamie, tonight, hyperman!!!!!!!!

What a terrific personal philosophy, Jamie! You can't help but succeed in life with your attitude.

I've found that on the nights when I can't sleep, I've had too much
acid food during that day earlier. A prilosec will help if I take it about
1 hour before going to bed. Maybe it's acidic residue of meds, and
even the sleep aids don't work when I'm like that. It has to be something that will remove the acids. Even a really good anti-histamine like Xyzal, 5 mg.(prounced zizal,medically prescribed only) will help do the trick.

Take care, good man, and keep up with the academic work; you'll be
a natural as a mental health professional.

Good wishes,

I.G.

Sorry about the spelling errors; I had to go back and check my meds

to be Xyzal right.

Jamie,

So glad that you are feeling well. All we can do is take it one day at a time. You are on the right track.

Hugs, Karen

Hey Jaimee, I think you're doing great. Just the fact that you're thinking of getting back into the workforce is such a positive thing. I'd say keep the good thoughts rolling and run the idea passed your therapist and see what they think. If they give ya the vote of confidence then you should definetly go for it. Maybe get a part time job at the start as to not overwhelm yourself, definetly take it in small steps. I felt sooooo overwhelmed at my job I have currently when I began working there full time. It was so much stress and the anxiety/depression problems made it sooo hard. But you know what? I go to work now confident in what I do, confident that I know how to do, and knowing that I will be able to get it done as good as anyone else. That's a great feeling, haven't had that in awhile. Best of luck to you, I know you got in you.

Mike

have crashed today............what goes up.........must come down!!!!!!!!!!!! fibrofog city here. arranged for the jungle to be done, his ride on will not get through it, hence the fella is hiring a special machine. i said i will help him out with raking and whipping. he has bought a bigger blade for the snipper. this is going to be expensive!!! a lot of pain. been in bed twice today. can't do anthing, well have walked the dog twice, which hurt, didn't go to sleep till after 2am.

mania sux. feel very depressed and inept. will be okay. time for a refeshing shower, need to wake up!! hopefully my study money comes in soon. need it badly. getting the back-yard done is going to set me back. school in the morn-(fri) back-yard is getting done monday. hoping you are all fighting that good fight. with compassion, jamie.

oh, the lady has not been seen nor have i heard from her. obviously she has been taken away from the venues we used to visit. just wanted to do the right thing by her and let her know why we are over, sadned that i can't even do that!!! oh well, such is life.

Posted 3/4/2011 6:06 AM (GMT 0)
bad nights sleep again!! just woke up with enough time for school, of which was draining. i am so fatiqued, oh well, i am going with it. pain is bad, even with the full arm cane. had a lye down, helped a bit. i know it is not good to do, albeit helps with the manic side a tad too. got a letter from school, only have to pay 485 dollars and not 860, obviously i was granted some consideration from the government. feeling very depressed, well, down today. am very tired and feel blah !!!

thx for listening. with compassion, jamie ps, sis is doing better. the rest of the day is resting.

Things will perk up Jamie. They just probably feel overwhelming at the moment. I sure hope you feel better soon.

THX MATE BETTER TONIGHT. CHEERS. HOW ARE YOU? JAMIE
Posted 3/4/2011 10:54 AM (GMT 0)
definately not a morning person, never have been. feeling better at night when it is qiuet. thx jamie :-)
Posted 3/4/2011 11:06 AM (GMT 0)
I am not a morning person either. Have an early dentist appointment though. I do better in the evenings when the stress is low. Have been like that for a long time. But been waking up early lately for some reason. Going to bed way too early I guess. My routine gets messed up easily. I like staying up later and sleeping in later. But mornings are cool because they are usually quiet.

Hugs, Karen
Posted 3/4/2011 11:09 AM (GMT 0)
yep, fully understand. all the best with the dentist. thx mate, jamie :-)
Posted 3/4/2011 1:53 PM (GMT 0)
can't sleep-so what's new !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! slowly cleaning. very cold here. had a warm shower. will try again for some shut-eye soon. yeah the depressive element is on my mind at the moment, need a can opener to clean the brain!!! ha ha. been thinking a tad, not all bad, more about forward directions and where i am heading. will just let things happen...........was thinking about the past some, this bit was somewhat depressive albeit factual. just have had a skinfull of bad runs, need a positive to bite me in the bum. wish i was a nocturnal animal, i would do well i reckon !!!!!!!!!!! lol. :-) oh well, such is life. better to burn out than fade away i guess. need some good things in my life, yes they will come, ie a car, some work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a nice lady. all good things come.................paticence jamie, patience. just a tad sick and tired of the mental and medical. even the appts with professionals is depressing. this is good therapy, self analysis that is. there is always someone doing it tougher than me, and i remember to practice compassion daily. if i were an animal i'd be an eagle and fly where eagles dare. so i continue to learn from others and situations, and from me. sometimes it is good to chat with yourselves.......because we are our own worst enemy at times.(and at times our best friend, but not as often) be good to you and your fellow human. with compassion a tired jamie.

ps, just noticed i joined 2 yrs ago this month. wow it has flown!!!!!!

Posted 3/4/2011 4:50 PM (GMT 0)
Jamie,

It never ends so we have to take things as they come. I have a lot of appointmtents to keep this month. Not easy. Especially when they are in the mornings. I am not a morning person, though lately I have been as I can't sleep. So I get up and make coffee.

I hope that you get some rest. Remember, one day (moment) at a time.

Hugs, Karen
Posted 3/4/2011 5:14 PM (GMT 0)
cheers. still up.
Posted 3/5/2011 12:30 AM (GMT 0)
Hope things go on the upswing for you jamiee. I understand well the being very tired of the medical and physical and all that entails from appointments to meds and their side effects and pain. It gets old fast! I just keep telling myself one day at a time and get through best i can. Best wishes to you and all :)
Posted 3/5/2011 12:33 AM (GMT 0)
thx sadieanne!!!!!! cheers mate, jamie :-)
Posted 3/6/2011 3:16 PM (GMT 0)
Jamiee, Hope today finds you better. I as well will have good days where I feel like I can tackle like's issues without getting over whelmed or have a day when I just am enjoying being alive, then the next I do not even remember how I got myself to such a good place the day before. Up and down. Been trying not to stress so much lately, does seems to help.

the hard work has caught up, i am officially stuffed!! been busy again today. here on the forums, seen my neighbour, up to the shops, walked the dog twice, sent some texts as well. warm night last night, hence it took ages for me to sleep, of wich wasn't much.

chaotic thoughts today. played some loud music to drown them out. will lye down for a bit after tea, of which will be early. done some cleaning as well. study tonight. feeling somewhat depressed, the tired stuff. oh well all apart the illnesses i guess. sorry i am whinging.

thx for listening, jamie  skull skull skull skull skull skull skull
