Weekly Check-in

Hi Everyone!!!

This is the weekly check-in, where we check in during the week and tell everyone how we are feeling or what we are doing. Please feel free to post whatever you need too.

(Since Hibee is away until tonight, I'll start the weekly check in this week.:))



I have a dr appt tomorrow to get my pain pills, it can't come soon enough as I think I might of doubled dosed a couple of time and ran out yesterday and so today will be a painful day, o-well. I will learn my lesson and get a pill box to use so I don't double dose anymore, it's so hard to remember if you took your last pill or not sometimes when you take them 3x a day, my mind just doesn't work like it used too. lol

I'm glad you had a good time, regardless of the anxiety. That is what it is all about, pushing ourselves even thru the anxiety. One step at a time.

No major drama, and NO spammers ( at least in AP forum, lol) while you were away, glad you are back!

All,

Like all Sundays, I use it to dread Monday which isn't even here yet. I don't feel all that great physically or mentally, but that is par for the course.

I went through some old pictures last night and I smiled instead of crying. Since my dad has passed, it is tough to see them sometimes. I often dream about him, so sometimes it is as if he's not even gone which I feel truly blessed for.

Lisa, I can totally relate on forgetting if you took your medicine or not. I was once on blood pressure medicine and the pharmacy had this awesome little set-up that put one pill in the right spot daily. When you got the pill out, you knew you had taken it. Then some old fogeys complained and they switched back to the regular bottle. Jerks. lol

9? My goodness. I'm on five or so, but many are on an as-needed basis.

I'm looking at your signature and something piqued my interest. You mention GERD. How much trouble does this cause you? I think I can help you with that some.

I'm so sad to hear you're in pain because you're such a kind person. Pill boxes are helpful. I had to label one of the sections on the top of my box. I sort by medication instead of what I take in a day. Unfortunately, my anti-depressant and anxiety meds are almost identical to the naked eye, so I either had to label them or memorize the imprint. haha

Awesome. What are you taking for it? I had surgery to fix mine, hence my weakness.

Not as sorry as I am...

It is just plain and simply miserable, 94 degrees and I'm dying, even sitting here with a fan and a A/C on me. I hate the summer so much it isn't funny, and it's only June 8th. We are never this hot this early in the year which tells me it is going to be a miserably hot summer. :)


Hope everyone had a good Monday, mine was busy with a dr appt, therapy and grocery store.

I did something this weekend that I couldn't have done last year at this time. I attended a huge music festival with 20,000 other people! i did have anxiety during some parts, but overall it was successful.

And, we drove 5 hours to get there! Now this was a pretty big feat for me since the panic attack that started this whole bout took place in a car while driving cross country (so being in a car has not been as comfortable as it once was).

None of these things would have been an issue for me before this bout started. I loved traveling and long car rides and big crowds. But I am very happy NOT to be in the place I was last year. I couldn't leave my house without having a panic attack.
