How Are You Feeling Now?, 🤔,😀🥺

I have 'free floating anxiety' often. The anxiety is a good motivator for me to declutter my house, though, lol. Gives me something else besides worry, to focus on. Today I'm going to try to sell some old technical books online.

My tinnitus is still with me. It is December I have my ENT appointment, I have no idea for now what is causing it. The MRI must have been clear of anything immediately serious otherwise I would already be in trouble surely.
I am coping with it quite well because overall I feel ok. But I do worry why I suddenly got this along with such dizziness for which I am on Betahistine.

My sympathies for you. I've had tinnitus for 6 years now due to chemotherapy. I hope you can find a way to manage yours. All the best.
 
I had an ugly argument with a store owner yesterday, and have been stressing out about it for 24 hrs, but the owner emailed me and said I was right, and she is now doing the right thing. But I had to force her to. That really wears me out.

Confronting people when I feel wronged is really a struggle for me, but sometimes is necessary for my mental health, ie, I am less stressed out by getting the confrontation over with. AT least I won this one ! yay.
 
I'm sitting here trying to cheer myself up with music. I had some jobs to do today, but couldn't muster the energy. Getting headaches every evening, which is a sign. I have a history of daily debilitating headaches. Over the years I figured out they are completely stress related. If I'm under a lot of stress, the headaches come. When I'm a-okay, I'm fine.

I've taken a pill to help me sleep, but I had a tab of them and I seem to have lost it, so had to find a solitary one in the medicine cabinet. They can't have gone far.

Oh well. Time to suck it up.

Sorry to hear it. We do what we can, and sometimes I have to just gut it through myself. That wasn't meant to sound unsympathetic, quite the contrary: you have my moral support.

Well, being unsympathetic isn't necessarily uncalled for. I've detailed my failings elsewhere, and I'm very aware of them. I planned to fail, without knowing it. So nothing is as I hoped it would be.

There's a comic strip in a Monty Python book that says it all. It's about a world where nothing can touch the Earth. Everything floats a foot or so above it. There's a frame with this goofy looking bird, with it's feet dangling. That's me, planning with certainty, but ignoring the reality of what is around me. Ideals the whole time with no reference to what was going on around me. For the first time in my life, I've no clue what to do. So I hold on every day and indulge in the fruitless science of hope.

Some days I can let it go, other times not. I do feel as though I'm on the fast track to the end. Hopefully there will be some details on the way!
 
Deep diving, knowing reality is worse than I'm feeling. Efforts were toward the wrong target. Semi-humorous realizing the mistakes. Seeing the future in the blinding like of tomorrow, and knowing I'd walked to the middle of the maze, without any idea of how to get out. No matter how together you are, you're alone.
 
Feeling OK right now. But I am dreading having to confront the people at my mom's assisted living place who are ripping her off. I already confronted them about it and they said they would stop. Now I have to go back and verify they are keeping their word. It is so insulting to have to even talk to these awful people. They will act like I am the scu*bag, not them. Sickening. I feel slimy after talking to them.
 
Well, I've been paid up for 48 hours feeling very unwell. Basically didn't move from the couch for that entire time, didn't eat, and it's still taking a toll. Having trouble regulating temperature, (first hot and put the fan on, then freezing cold). Headaches. Coming out of it now, thankfully.
 
After about a week of feeling pretty good, today was a little off.

Woke up too early and then by 10 AM I napped for 3 hours. Got up and around but with a feeling of malaise. Did a little bit of lawn work, munched a few vegetables, brushed my teeth, and I'm feeling better now.

My escitalopram tablets are two doses and I take half a day. I think today I might have had a "big piece" but maybe that's just reaching for an excuse. They are ovals, so my pill splitter doesn't work as precisely as for rounds.
