How Are You Feeling Now?, 🤔,😀🥺

Mixed feelings today. Had good visit with my GP yesterday. Physically doing well, despite usual aches/pains aging has brought.

Emotionally dealing with grief. Long time (15+ years) cyber friend died this week. Once initial shock wore off, and tears stopped i realized (again--as i did after each of my 2 deceased older sister died in the last decade) that i will be dealing with this repeatedly in coming years.

Between my own age and the fact that while i have younger friends (tho youth never a guarantee) most of that group i knew from Eons that migrated to FB are within a decade of my age one way or the other, so it is to be expected.

But i've been meditating daily since January and more times per day as the months have passed and everything tends become more manageable for me when i'm doing that. Not that i don't have moments of frustration or grief---but let myself feel them fully, consider what i CAN do to remedy or relieve the situational stress and then let the bad feelings pass.

I'm so sorry for your losses. Grief has always been hard for me and I am dealing with it too.

Meditation has been helpful for a me too. Helps me relax and sleep 🥱

Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry to hear that. Does anything help with those? I get some at times too.

One thing I do is to steady my breathing and take some deep breaths too. I tell myself it's gonna be alright.

I used to get them once in awhile when living in Cincinnati years ago (usually came after I was outside in the hot weather) and then I contacted the environmental office. They told me that air pollution can cause panic attacks. Just thought I'd share that with you.

I believe that! I've had panic attacks with the wildfires over the past few months. Thank you for sharing that.

Think about it just as on humid days there is less actual Oxygen in each cubic inch of 'air' anything that hangs in the air--pollution, smoke will also reduce oxygen intake in each breath we draw.

Anything that threatens our breathing tends to have profound effects, perhaps more so as we age.

i was only in my early 20s when i last lived in NYC, but i had to stop hanging my nylons in the airshaft because they'd develop holes the size and spacing of the weird never diagnosed rash i would get everywhere my skin was exposed to the air.

i've had more concern about what that tainted air may have done to my lungs than the little bit of smoking i did at that age.

Oh yes, environmental pollution can do things to us all. We are sensitive beings and can get symptoms and illness from what we breathe unfortunately.
 
Right now I am feeling a little high from a beer. It cuts the tension. I know there are other ways too but I choose this today.

Anyhow I haven't been in the best mood today and slept most of the day. I'm beginning to think I have an undiagnosed disorder but will post it in another thread when I have done research on it.
 
Awake at 3; couldn't sleep. Dragged myself out of bed half hour later; gave up attempt to go back to sleep. Seeing kittens yesterday gave me a charge of energy; so sweet, I need cats. My legs hurt; my back hurts. All normal oy vay. Must have energy to make it through day. It will come. Gosh I'm old.
 
For about a year now I have been adding a scoop of collagen to my morning coffee. I have noticed improvement in neck pain, leg pain and swelling, hair and nails. It might be the collagen. I haven't found anything for back pain or neuropathy. I drink pickle juice for leg cramps.
 
I'm feeling relaxed. I was able to do a load of laundry. Now I am waiting for my dinner to be done cooking.

I have been worried about my dog. She's been having these episodes early in the morning. She wretches and breathes funny and gurgles some. This morning she was on the couch with me and had an episode. I started petting her and then she was okay.

I'm going to take her to the vet. I hope it's nothing terrible.

Ruthanne, I'm glad you're feeling relaxed, you deserve it. So sorry to hear about Suzy and her episodes, that is very concerning. Good that she calms down when you pet her. Please let us know what the vet has to say. 💙

I'm so sorry about you losing your husband. Thank you for the hugs. It's never easy losing loved ones. It's really okay to have as many good cries as you need.

Bingo, very sad to hear the news about your husband. May he rest peacefully, my condolences. Sending hugs and love to you and Peaches.

I'm so down. I did a double shift last Saturday. I felt sick for 2 days. I had to go to the cat sanctuary Sunday which I did make it to. When I went into work Tuesday for a mandatory training (we get paid for it) I talked to the scheduler who was going to give me an extra day off. She's a twit and of course I never heard from her.

The person who called in, did so 2 Saturdays in a row, caused someone else to do a prior double. They had an extra PM employee and I know she noted that and decided since there was overstaffing by one, she'd call in. She has a history of call ins.

I'm so tired. And I can't help it, I resent that my mother was retired by my age and my stepfather retired at 55. But he has no empathy for me. Just what I can do when he needs something.

Also the guy downstairs was yelling, cursing and raging at the woman at 0230.

I feel for you. You've had a rough time of it. Can you take some time to do something that you enjoy? I've been feeling down too so I am going to find something that I will like doing. It helps me. I hope you will feel better.🤗
 
I'm doing ok right now, thanks for asking. ;)

Just one little brick in the tower of positive thinking I'm trying to construct these days. Oh, by the way: you look marvelous!

I'm so sorry, what a terribly hard time for you. I hope you have support, you must be in shock just now.
 
I'm actually mentally feeling better for the first time in ages.
I still have tinnitus, my vertigo is under control with pills and I await a referral to an ENT Consultant. Meanwhile I feel better in myself and able to cope for now.
