Not So Sick Any More

I lucked out this time, and this cold was tame. I had a sore throat for about a day and a half. Now I have a very slight cough that only pops up if I'm doing too much and my nose is all itchy. Sadly, I have no allergy meds left and am still too worn out to go to the store. I have slept a lot more th...

And Now I'm Sick

I swear, at least once a month, my grandson comes back from his dad's house sick with something. He catches every cold. My kids were never sick much as toddlers. He's not in daycare and neither were they at that age so I have no idea why he's getting everything there is out there (thankfully no Covi...

Recovering

Things are a little better here. Minus the dead baby bunny (poor thing). I still have a hard time looking at my cats, but in the end, it's my own fault. Sigh. My back seems to have healed extra quick which is unusual for me. I was especially worried because of the kind of pains I was having (stabbi...

I'm Sorry Baby Bunny

We have 3 cats. They are indoor-outdoor cats. Not by my choice. I wanted them to be indoor cats. I tried my hardest to keep them inside, but it's impossible now. For one, the rest of my family just doesn't care and lets them out as soon as they start whining. I would have to keep all of them in my r...

And it piles on

I'll start by saying, my back seems a little better. I've literally done nothing for like two days. No bending over, very careful getting in and out of chairs and the bed, not on my feet for more than a few minutes at a time. I've also slept with my heating pad on the affected area (I always do that...

So New Problems

Like I don't have enough chronic illnesses and pains to deal with... So the other night, I felt this tweak in my back as I bent over to get into bed. I ignored it at the time because it was just one pinched muscle it felt like and I slept just fine. The next day, I had completely forgotten about it...

Insomnia Now

Okay, so it might not be full insomnia and could just be that I drank too much caffeine during the day. Either way, I was up all night. And I mean ALL night. Now my whole internal clock is out of whack. Despite all of the caffeine, I was tired all day, yesterday. I could barely keep my eyes open at...

Weird Anxiety Experience

So, I took an Ativan before sleeping last night because I'm just used to doing that. It helps take the edge off of any unease so I can fall asleep. And I had two left from the old prescription that I wanted to finish off. No big deal. Today was okay. I decided to try not to take anything. That's ea...

Anxiety Down Some

I haven't even started taking my new anxiety meds, but the major anxiety that's been plaguing me has eased up a bit. I'm guessing that was all due to stress. Situational anxiety because I've been worried about my husband not being vaccinated and losing his job then having an appointment coming up al...

Appointment Update

I just want to start by saying I love this doctor. I've seen a few different people for mental illness over the years, but this doctor seems to really understand the inherent side-effects of severe anxiety. There was no lecture just some understanding nods and sad smiles after she reminded me that I...

Asking For Help is Hard

Tomorrow is finally my doctor appointment. Of course, now my anxiety is up because I have to explain why, once again, I chose to suffer for weeks instead of contacting my doctor for some help. I just don't know how to ask for help. It took me into my 30s before I got professional help from my menta...

One Better Day then Down Again

This anxiety is out of control. I'm nearly out of pills, but my appointment is finally coming up (on Thursday). I'm so tired of feeling anxious all of the time. I know getting a refill on my prescriptions will only help a tiny bit (one less thing to worry about), but it's something to look towards. ...
