I've been so-so. I ate too many carbs over Thanksgiving and the day after and it's made me very tired. It seemed to have a negative effect on my mental health as well, as I felt kind of distant from the world. I'm trying to get back into my normal eating patterns and hoping that will be helpful. Hopefully this will be a bit of a lesson to me so when Christmas comes around I don't overdo the holiday food quite as much.

How is everyone else? Sending good vibes to you all.

I tried to unplug for a while. I went for three hours with no phone or computer. I was able to clean off my desk. I think I will unplug again. It's more relaxing. Less stress. Less triggers.

Breaking Dawn · Nov 28, 2020 at 02:35 PM

I'm doing ok. I watched some nature & animal tv shows earlier, very sweet. I wanted to accomplish some things, but so far I'm apparently taking it easy.

88Butterfly88 · Dec 03, 2020 at 04:41 PM

I'm hanging in. I'm feeling pretty angry today and I'm not really sure why.

Deilla · Dec 03, 2020 at 07:04 PM

I've been stressed today. I'm trying to relax now. I had an appointment.

Dec 04, 2020 at 05:42 AM

I am in pain.

shower = pain.

and this time, their's no part of me that escaped the onslaught of agony.

this gal's body is getting worse..... though she's slightly excited about getting a delivery of a new laundry basket today so she doesn't have to bend down so far to reach the other one

small pleasures..

Deilla · Dec 04, 2020 at 06:45 AM

I'm doing my morning routine, which is hard today. I have a migraine.

craziemusician · Dec 04, 2020 at 10:12 PM

I'm not sure how this works as I'm new to the forums.

I am struggling big time today. My anxiety is through the roof and every thing is getting so me. I should be doing things but cant motivate myself to do it.

Dec 05, 2020 at 06:24 AM

so my laundry basket (the one I was expecting) turned out to be a bigger version of what I all ready had.

of course I thanked the person who sent it me, but uggg. not much relief sadly

mcdonalds last night.. that was enjoyable. I liked it- highlight of my otherwise **** week

today someone asked me if I wanted to go and see the switching on of her christmas tree

but I am feeling depressed, anxious about an appocalypse and didn't sleep, so told her I'd pass

plus: she wanted to do it at 6 PM, which is when I eat dinner... so it would have caused issues around messed rooteen

Deilla · Dec 05, 2020 at 01:36 PM

I'm trying to relax today. I'm stressed out about chores, but I'm trying to do the best I can. My mom said she will help out one day. So I'm happy about that. For the remainder of the day, I will decompress and do fun things.

I'm stressing a bit because I have to mop my floor and I know that doing so will cause back pain. I did take Advil, though; maybe it will help. It doesn't usually, but fingers crossed. xx

back pain's never fun beth... hope the meds help!

Dec 06, 2020 at 05:42 AM

so the lady who had her tree turned on last night showed me a video of it and it was beautiful- I am glad she managed to do it despite the cold weather (she has it outside her house)

my dinner was nice yesterday- I had scampi with naan bread (loadso f naan bread, even too much for me to eat)

spent the evening watching tv: first the chase, then a programme about funny tv moments of the year.. not as funny as I thought but their were some fun parts

no sleep (mainly because of back pain) and today I'm annoyed since the friend who I talk to a lot is out all day at some volunteer thing, and another one ended their friendship with me because I complain too much and he can't handle it- fair enough I suppose but my support network is all ready extremely frajile.... I don't really have anyone

no plans for today (as usual), guess just wait to eat dinner

fun

Deilla · Dec 06, 2020 at 03:46 PM

I'm not feeling well today. I did some stress eating last night and I woke up with a migraine. I tried my best to deal with it. I managed to take my trash out and wash the dishes. I have one more task to handle. I may wait until tomorrow though.

I know you're very familiar with pain . The Advil, surprisingly, did help. I just get so tired of being in pain.

I really feel you.

I don't share with many people, but I see.. in the not too distant future, a life where I am wheel-chair bound

it's been discussed by a few professionals too, so we'll just have to see how that plays out

Dec 07, 2020 at 11:21 AM

again not much today

watched my soap opera, opened my advent calendar, about it..

Deilla · Dec 08, 2020 at 01:47 AM

I can't sleep tonight. I'm really worried about my cat. She's been sick lately.

Breaking Dawn · Dec 08, 2020 at 07:41 AM

I'm so sorry ladies about your not feeling well.

I am feeling a lot better, thankfully.

Deilla · Dec 09, 2020 at 12:34 AM

I'm doing better today. And my cat got all patched up at the vet's office. I feel hopeful and optimistic.
