Thanks for your suggestions. I was able to get out for a 10 minute walk. It was hot but I did it. I also stayed outside for another 10 minutes to talk to a neighbor. Even went to the market for some...
I just can't motivate myself to do anything then sit at home and watch tv and pray that the day will be over. I'm obese and find exercise too much. I've tried walking but it's so hot here. How can I...
I've been itching all over my body for the past couple of weeks. My therapist says it's from anxiety but really hasn't told me what to do about it. I try mindful thinking and relaxation techniques...

Sorry to hear about your mom. Waiting can be nerve racking. My husband and son are the same way. They don't understand my depression and anxiety. I'm glad you are trying some coping skills. I hope...
I'm not sure if I'm itchy from kidney disease or something else. It may be all in my head or dry skin. I'm making myself crazy. I'm itchy all over. No other problems except for the acidosis. Please...
Thanks for responding. I made it through the day and feel better today. I see my therapist this afternoon and I am going to ask her for some coping skills....

I can totally understand. I'm 60 and just want to stay in bed all day. The slightest things exhaust me. My family just thinks I'm lazy. I don't want to be like this. I don't fall asleep until 2-3 in...
Rough afternoon. I shouldn't drink but had almost a whole bottle of wine. Strangely I'm not even buzzed. I feel like I'm trying to kill myself slowly. I just wish this day was over so I could go to...
