Thanks, Lavender!

I just got back from my annual exam at my GP's office. He's always a nice guy! My blood test results were as expected. I still have high cholesterol and my triglycerides and glucose were slightly high, too. Last time my triglycerides and glucose were normal. I need to cut down on those refined sugars again! I asked him about a statin, and he explained why I don't need one at this point. He even ran some special calculation to show me my risk for a heart attack. It was 1.3%. He said my age (not that old), my normal blood pressure, lack of diabetes, the fact that I never smoked, and other factors make my risk low, despite my cholesterol. OK. Of course he did push me to diet and exercise more, as always. He's a really thin guy. I told him that I doubt he ever eats a donut. He said he doesn't. I've been going to him for 22 years. We were both youngsters way back then.

It's rather warm today at 51 F.

Thanks lavender!

Really bored. Got up at 11 went back to bed at 12. Then got up went to the library and picked up mum's meds. The hours just trundle by. I'd not eat if it wasn't for mum. I think winter has lasted too long. Both sad and glad the clocks changed. Glad cause the day last longer, sad cause I lost an hour.

I don’t care about the Lost hour. I don’t work so ....

This last bout of rain has caused big headaches.

Plans today , just hoping today doesn’t suck as much as yesterday. :eyeroll:

I have a consultation for surgery on Thursday. My dr wanted me to get in ASAP because my left leg is so weak. He doesn’t want the weakness to become permanent. So I’m probably looking at surgery by the end of March. That scares me yet relieves me at the same time.

I've been struggling today. My son is having back pain problems at work and has been to physio and got a written request for an ergonomic assessment and furniture but his company will not provide either, not even a chair. He says now he is also having pain through the weekend and ibuprofin is not helping. So I suggested he take his two remaining vacation days off to rest his back and also work on his resume and linkedin so he can start applying for other jobs. He's got the same kind of upper back problem that I have had and I feel bad for him that he is in constant pain. I told him to also go for a massage. I feel helpless again. I hope he works on his resume instead of just goofing off. Then he will be back in the position he was in to day except no days off until he accumulates 1.25 days per month.

Tara, glad you're getting some decent medical attention. I hope it all goes well!

I had a better day today. It was healthier. I did a ton of housework. I ate healthier. I did not lay around. I enjoyed being more active. Now i'm listening to a beautiful two-hour compilation of contemporary instrumental music on YouTube.

It's my third day on Wellbutrin. I feel cautious hope that it's working.

Went to work this morning. Woke up stressing out so I figured work would be better than being alone. I also booked an appt with my gp for thursday. I dont think anyone can help me but i promised i would see her if i wasnt seeing my t which im not and she told me she would get me in if i needed even if there were no openings(she is booked for about a month she isnt in the office until thursday though) Plus i like her a lot so i like to get time to talk to her even if i dont think it will help.

After work stopped and grabbed another bottle since I ran out last night.

Got kicked out of chat. Well not technically but the mod told me i csnt be on there drunk. Which im not really but i have been drinking since i got off.work.

Feeling pretty bad now. My only "friend" stopped talking to me again after she found out i was drinking again. Not sure if i can deal with this anymore.

If people dont like me if i am not doing good then why bother at all. Rather not have anyone i think.

Hi everyone. My anxiety has reached such as a high level that I haven't felt this way for over a year. I am leaving my job and gave my two weeks notice. The work environment is completely toxic and unhealthy and a lot of people are leaving. It is my time to go. I will miss my good friend from there though.
There is another job opportunity where I know someone who works there, but all the red tape to get the job is overwhelming. One past job did not end on good terms. The person made false allegations against me, and I should have took them to court, and HR from this new job requested information from them. So that was a major trigger and brought me back to dark times.

Everything feels like a chore, I had a meltdown in front of my mother, who just doesn't know how to be supportive of me, because I am rapid cycling and the anxiety is so high, I see a mixed state coming. She said I probably shouldn't be working and that I belong in the hospital, unless I "get a grip." Everything is just too much.

I so confused since my name is also Tara; would you be so kind to clarify who you are talking about; lol. I don't know if another person is named Tara on this forum and you are talking to them; or me and just using my real name.

I'm glad you had a good day; I always feel super productive after house work.

It's been a week since my father died. My brother and I went to his house. It was indescribable. Trash was 2-3 feet deep throughout. No water, electric or plumbing. Evidence of animals being in the house. Just mind-blowing that he lived like that and refused to leave when offered nicer conditions. We did find a paper telling us what he wanted done when he died and that was good and what we'd hoped for but didn't expect.

I'm just tired. I've been freezing cold for days from the stress. I am spending all my time in fleece and under piles of blankets and still cold.

I think he'll be cremated this week.

I've not cried yet. His life was really sad for a long time and there's a lot to come to terms with. It will take time.

Whoops! A mix-up! WildFlowerChild25 is also named Tara. I'll use screennames from now on to prevent more confusion.

That is totally fine; I guess I didn't realize I shared the same name with another username. That is kind of awesome honestly; it's even spelled the same way. Thank you for explaining that to me; I figured you were probably not talking about me; but I just wanted to check. I'm sorry I'm usually pretty good about figuring out things; but honestly today my brain might as well just be mush.

Glad you you had a good doctor's appointment sorry about the cholesterol and triglycerides; I finally got a good reading when my Cardio checked mine and it was a lot different then my previous numbers from the tests my previous job needed. I know diet and exercise is hard but really I have found cutting out daily morning stops at Starbucks and cutting out soda and just drinking water; flavored sparking water; and tea (green and white) that that made a big difference and just trying to eat a little better. Just simple little changes made a big difference for me.

I really hope I am able to have the same GP for 22 years. I am glad that you are doing okay minus some high numbers. Good on you for good blood pressure; even mine is sometimes elevated.

I am glad that you are getting seen by a doctor soon; I know you are probably in a terrible amount of pain. M is dealing with something similar and he is honestly in constant pain; it hurts me to see him that way; so I know you are probably hurting. I hope you and RS are doing well; you really deserve all the happiness.

I am sending you a very gentle hug

I also hope your work is able to work with you; you can't exactly help a back injury.

Hello everyone and look another freaking Monday; I swear I hate Monday's not to mention Daylight Savings Time is still kicking my butt; I thought yesterday was bad; today just freaking hurts. I didn't feel like dressing up so it was very much a scrub day, my brain and body fought with me this morning; so scrubs it was; my brain was let people complain because honestly I didn't care this morning between my shear exhaustion and the clocks going forward it was not a good morning at all.

Work downright sucked today; between my honestly exhausted feeling and making what felt like 1,000 phone calls trying to find a specialist for M on the list; and I swear I knew that was going to suck but this was like an extra layer of suck; we finally found one but of course they aren't in our city and it's going to be a drive; go freaking figure that since nothing seems to work out; not to mention it's going to be next week before he could get in.

I am just so tired; so very tired with work; school; and the people I love health drama or my own health drama. I love him and am obviously going to be there for him; after all I am still staying at his place.

I feel okay mentally; my meds are keeping me in check but for some reason; I feel like I need to get a break and just relax and chill but sadly I feel like I will not be getting a break because I feel like if M needs surgery; I should really be saving my days off to make sure he is alright.

Hugs to everyone
