Daily Check In Thread #101

Morning All


How is everyone today? Check in if you have the time.

I hope you have a good day.


I am 80% recovered from my Shingles the rash has completely gone all I am left with is a little pain which is manageable with pain killers, The doctor said this may last a couple more weeks. What I need to work on now is getting my health back I plan on doing that by organising a new therapist to do the Schema Therapy I was talking about which should really help me get my anxiety back under control as it has been bad this past 6 months. I also need to work at getting the chronic pain caused by my back condition under control as well as that is one of the triggers to my anxiety.

Life is not easy at the moment but it is heading in the right direction and I am pleased about that

Hibee

So great to hear that you are doing better, Hibee.

Hi Hibee. I'm hanging in there. I'm having some issues with feeling lack of my normal energy and upbeat mood. I don't know if you saw my post earlier this morning or not, but I'm thinking that it's something to do with being all but completely weaned off an 8 yr dependence on vicodin. The last four of those years were more self medicating to "get away from" some major upheavals in my life at the time. I'm down to half a pill every other day after taking 3 - 5 daily. I have a follow up with my doc on Tues to discuss the blah mood issue. All that said. I am SO GLAD to finally be free of this control over my life! My daughter and her family are coming in May for a visit so I'll have my kids and grandsons here at the same time and over Mother's Day!
