How Are You Feeling Now?, 🤔,😀🥺

As seniors naps are a good thing. If you put it in your head that they are bad you will probably feel bad. I welcome the power naps and feel good after I have a nap and a cup of tea. Try being gentle with yourself. You will feel better 😄

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.

Wish I could help.
 

I'd love to blame the change in weather here, but I'm sure that's only part of where I'm at. I'd been doing so well, but now not full-on panic attack but an odd undirected feeling of dread or loss or something of the sort.

I was "in this place" not long ago too, so it'll probably pass. I know that the medication can take weeks to become fully effective. I'll just have to apply the old CBT techniques.

I had to have another cat put down yesterday so I am feeling sad. It seems throughout the last 10 years all I've been doing is dealing with the death of those close to me and it is taking its toll. I am now down to two cats and one of them isn't doing well. I'll deal with it though, as always.

I'm so sorry. It's so hard. And it's hard dealing with a pet that isn't doing well.

I am not well, aching jaw and head after I again bit down somehow on that left side. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and I think an X ray is needed. There is a weakness in there and it's causing pain. I now eat mainly right sided and only softer foods.
I'm so worried it could be something bad because I think my vertigo and tinnitus was caused by this all along.

That is hard, I get that way and tend to panic, then get depressed. Try to distract yourself and be busy. It really helps because our mind is a powerful thing. We can literally take our minds off to better places but it takes an effort.

Tired and getting fed up. A neighbor of mine is causing a problem that involves noise. I may call the police 🚓 if it gets any worse.

Oh no, that is the worst.
It sounds silly of me but have you tried to talk to them? Perhaps tell them you are unwell and need peace and quiet. You never know, they might respond to a quiet appeal.
 
Ruthann, good luck with the noisy people.

I feel blah today. I had 2 victories over 2 dishonest folks that I had to confront, about financial stuff. So that's good, but now I have to decide on which Medicare Advantage plan to get for next year. Boring.

Maybe I'll walk around the neighborhood a while, but the weather is gray and cool.

You'd think after many years of getting only 4-5 hours of sleep per night that I'd be napper... but no, just can't do it. Unless I was extremely sick, I don't think I've napped since I was 8. Not even when pregnant. :giggle: I'll take that as a sign that my body only needs those few hours... I don't feel tired during the day or anything.

CMK I sleep very well and can nap as I need to when I need to get up early to fish or travel to a shooting match the only real improvement is I have little actual pain just the 24/7 soreness daily my pain is no more than a 1-2 level but soreness as high as a 4 level plus at times.

Thank you for your concern but I have talked to them and they kept it up. The past few days they are less noisy. I'm tired of living here but my lease is not up till July. I've been here 11 years and one of the problems is that the walls are paper thin. Not much privacy.
 
I started the day playing music, and it's still going now. Some up tempo rock music at that.

And then - two new records, one I've been desperate for, was delivered by the mail man. Yah!

No reason not to feel good then.
 
Another long afternoon nap, but just a bit later I'm back to those unsettled feelings again. Getting through it, but I wish I had the pattern figured out so I might avoid this.

It is cold but above freezing. Maybe I'll try something that I used to good effect before. Part of my routine was to have a small fire in the patio firepit (even a few candles works if I have no handy wood), watching a movie reaction YouTube video on a tablet, sipping coffee, standing the whole while.

An hour or more of that keeps me off my butt, in the fresh air, with distractions.
