nono hi guys. a tad stressed. my anxiety is through the roof. there has been some peoples stuff go on and today i had my echo done on my heart. (ultrasound) it was awkward, as he put me in strange positions, and that probe on your chest, mine which is very tight at the moment-made it that he had to push hard down on it. whilst doing this i was asked to hold breaths continually, and boy did i hold some!!! so whilst digging into me, in an awkward position that was hurting my back and neck we got done. that noise of your heart is yuck. all squishy. the beat was strong, he even mentioned it was a good. this made me feel a little better. sleep has been disturbed. too much on my mind. thinking i have done wrong things and stuff. stress. i will be okay. playing some pink floyd to calm the heck down!! i wish i had a chill pill. it is pink floyd tonight!!! not too bad.

see ya all soon. smurf

H.T.,

Well done on getting through your test, even though it was uncomfortable. I understand, as I do not like having medical procedures done at all.

The good news is that you already got some feedback indicative that things sound/look good!! That is golden...so let that buoy your spirits today!;)

I hope that you can get centered with your positive thoughts, and let go of any negative, nagging ones trying to derail your efforts to feel well.

Keep listening to your tunes...personally I favor "Learning to Fly" for a lift in spirits...

arh, arh...see what I did there? ;p

(...yes, I am a big dork!!)

Hugs and high fives.:)

Ahhh, Pink Floyd! Still remain one of my all time favourites. In fact, perhaps at least in part due to fond nostalgic memories, I do what you're doing, and have an entire playlist of PF playing. Between the music itself, and the way it takes me back to a happy place, I've found it perfect to listen to when I need to mellow out.

Good choice!

Many years ago, if I heard just the sound or rhythm of a heart beat (which is also often used of movies, and go figure, I'm an Edgar A. Poe fan,....so imagine the 'something tapping' on the floor!)....I'd get all anxious and focus more on my heart.

I avoided listening to it. Cover my ears. At the time, I had not learned or been taught any coping skills (other than a "parent" who didn't believe me, minimized my fear, and told me to suck it up).

I'm glad that your doc commented on your heart sounding strong! Hopefully that helped to put you at ease after having undergone the procedure! :)
