Rest up and enjoy. 😘😘📚

Re: Living with Ourselves

Good morning @outlander

How did you manage at your Pop's birthday party?  

I hope that you enjoyed yourself and had some relief from that headache..

Did he enjoy himself with all of the attention?

I was on the exercise bike longer yesterday and as I have cut out pain killers...felt it last night..

so have taken some paracetamol and will have a day of complete physical rest...boringggggggggggggggggggggg

hope that you find some peace today after all of that noise yesterday.  xx

Re: Living with Ourselves

Good morning @Sophia1
💙💚💛💟💜💌💕

I managed ok despite constant triggers and the noise but pop had a great time so that was good.

Ooh yes a day of rest might be best. Maybe a good excuse to do some more reading. How did you sleep? Are you feeling okish despite the pain?

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @outlander

Thank you for response..

Sorry to hear that you had triggers....I hope that you have settled and been gentle with yourself...

I finished Ella Black book...enjoyed...

Have not started another yet..

Have been very lazy watching series of Sense and Sensibility....love all of those type of films...

Still have some pain left over from yesterday....very annoying...so no exercise at all today...

how is your headache?

sleep....might have had about 4-5hours...not bad...got up at 5am ...went back to bed and could not sleep so back up and stayed up at 5.45am which is the time I used to get up if not earlier when I worked in the city...

even the cats were surprised!

How was your night?...restful?..

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1
Its been a not so good day and a hard night so im abit short on words for myself. Im sure ill be ok though. The past just coming to haunt me abit ad my hand not making things very easy.

Im really glad you enjoyed your book. It sounded good so i might take a look into it myself
I havent heard of that tv show.. what is it about?

Im glad youve been resting today. I thik your doing well considering everything. Has your pain eased this evening?

4-5 hrs too bad but hopefully youll get abit more sleep tonight. Perhaps the pain was keeping you up a little...?

❤❤

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @outlander

sorry to hear that the night and day as well not good for you...

will you be able to remove yourself from those triggers in future? Or at least discuss with your psychologist about some strategies..write everything down..store away in a safe place...and remember where!  

The number of things that I have put in safe places over the years and forgotten where..turning most of the house upside down..

having pain when stressed exacerbates the pain further...it is improving slowly which is a good sign..

my pain levels are more noticeable as increased exercise and off pain killers...just 2 paracetamol tonight...might have woken me up..don't know..

have you got a reasonably quiet day tomorrow?🙂💜

Re: Living with Ourselves

Just wanted to say, thinking of you @Sophia1 💜
You’ve always been kind to me.
Sorry to read of your struggles.

I won’t say any more, as I’m feeling like I’ve lost all hope.
Take care. 🌷🌸

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @Shaz51

How are you feeling after the weekend?   

Has Mr Shaz settled a bit more with his anxiety? 

Hoping that you are finding some time to relax a little at least..

Hello @Adge

How was your evening with your neighbour?

Are you finding out more about each other? Common interests?

Have you had another holiday since the last time when you were very unwell? 

Hope that things are settling a bit more for you these days..

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1

Ill always have triggers i suppose. I dont have a psych atm but am looking for one. Its just a matter of finding the right one. Atm my neck head and ear pain are dragging me down quite alot abd making me feel quite unwell tonight. I tried booking in to see a dr tomorrow but the stupid site keeps freezing.

Lol i have those sorts of safe places too! Im aure one day youll find those things you put away.

Im really glad your pains improving. Thats a really good sign. And tour exercising and reducing pain meds. Very well done indeed 💜

I think my days quiet. So far anyway. I have to take sisters to school in the morning but i think itll be more of a rest day tomorrow .

What about you?
