Daily Check In Thread For All... #134

I am so sorry you had so much pain and discomfort last night. I hope tonight is better. Maybe a front is coming in. It is cloudy here today and wants to rain. My pain is worse and more fatigue.

Hugs, Karen...

My ex GF came around last night, been a month since we broke up and we both miss eachother. I thought I would be OK with it but she is so sad and depressed it made me feel awful, its my fault, my illness has done this to both of us. I think it was a mistake to meet up as it made me feel quite ill. She wants to keep meeting up but I don't think I can deal with it but don't know how to tell her without making her sad.

I at least slept a bit last night but not feeling great this morning.

Thanks Karen, it feels hard to in a way abandon her when I love her so much, but just taking care of myself is already a struggle I need to spend my energy on that. I just wish she would reach out to someone for help like her family or Dr but she just struggles along on her own trying to be brave

Look after you, Andy.

Sounds like a lot at once, Chart. Hope things start to get better soon!

Sleep hard last night,but now have a migraine--took a med for it this AM, but it really hasn't taken it away. Stupid hormones. I plan to stop for a coffee after classes-hope that will help.

Therapy and phone interview this afternoon, plus I need to get a flu shot. Then home, and prep dinner/lunches for tomorrow. We are going to a debate viewing party tonight, so will not be home until late. I just finished formatting our bingo cards in word to be printed.

Andrina, did you talk to your psychiatrist? Please call them and tell them. Tomorrow.

Babe, you are lovely and worthwhile. Please do not hurt yourself. Please love yourself, as we love you.

Did something specific trigger you?

Hugs, kiddo.

I don't have a psychiatrist. My gp prescribes me my Klonopin, Wellbutrin and Zoloft. Should I tell him?

Hi all. Andrina, self harm can take a lot of different forms. Alcoholism, bulimia, even picking off scabs. All of it is an attempt to control SOMETHING in our lives when other things are beyond our control. Please tell your doctor and perhaps seek out a counselor that can help you manage things a bit better. For now, look at what IS within your control. Dye or cut your hair. Buy a new top or some jewelry. Treat yourself to a specialty coffee or favorite lunch place. Turn the lights off and light a candle. Once we realize that there is so much we do have control over, the other things may recede. The "Serenity Prayer" has been a big help to me. The only thing I must remember is that 'accepting' something doesn't necessarily mean I will be 'happy' about it. Talk with your doctor. An adjustment to your meds might help.

Hello all,

I am back! I have missed yall a lot. Lost my other account so here I am Jessica D.

Karen: How are you doing hun?
Jaime: How are you and your partner doing? Happy birthday my turtle buddy.

Everyone else: *waves* Hello

Thanks Pitmom. I have missed everyone here. I have not been doing so well and that is the reason I have come back. I have been having anxiety bad and that causes my depression to flare as well. I hope that all are doing good.

Hi Dawn aka Jess, Glad you are back but sorry for the reason. I hope things get better real soon.

Hugs, Karen...

Power, I cant' remember if you are seeing a therapist??? You don't have to explode. Talk to somebody, a crisis line if that is all there is. But talk to someone professional.

Life can get better. We don't have to be angry all the time. I wish you the best.

Hugs, Karen,...

Hi all

Karen- Already feeling better. Thanks hun. How are you?

Jamie- How are you my shelled friend? I hope that the mental health system I'd getting easier to deal with.

Power- I for one would like to thank you for your service. I can not believe that our vets are treated with such disrespect. I am sorry for this. I am not sure on your whole story but getting the right help does make life easier, and so much brighter. I know it can be hard to find a good doc and counselor but when you do, you ask yourself why you waited for so long to do so. Please keep trying it is very much worth it.

I am feeling better today, not 100% but better. Sleep was better last night, that is always good. I got out and about again today so I know that helped and I also cried last night and I know that helped a lot. I am very tired right now and will go to sleep early, I hope. California may actually have a real winter this year it is already getting to be on the cool side! Yay!! I am off for now. Have a good day/night everyone
