How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

@Pepper I am so sorry you are having difficulty with depression/panic disorder. I have been treated for 13 years for that. I take an SSRI and a small amount of benzo. I tend towards having very negative thoughts at times. Having illness makes it very hard sometimes to "over come". I know you have had more than you fair share, which gives you plenty of challenges to deal with. Anytime you need to talk..PM me. You are precious , and a gorgeous human being.
 

Morning all folks!! Well slept in till 7am, or is that 6aM?? i
awakend at midnite with the "gas" alarm beeping in little
hallway, damn thing...tried for 30mins to get it finally go
off, just now it has started again, durn it....guess I'll have
to get in touch with maintenance....I'm sore all over today,
guess it is normal anymore....no big plans, just try to stay
happy and lucky!! Take care all !!! ;):cool:
 
Good Morning, Everyone 🤗 🌻 :coffee:

I have to call my ins. company today to see if they'll pay for two therapy sessions in the same week as I've found a therapist who specializes in eating disorders. I had a video appointment scheduled for Monday, but then realized this potential problem and I don't want to get a bill.

That, besides dog walks, is literally the only thing I must do today. There are things I'd like to do, however, --say dusting and vacuuming the living room...

I got a bit of a bargain today... it cost £19.50 ($25.00 ) for entry just for me... but if I signed up to 12 months to visit loads of other ancestral houses around the country, that includes Scotland and Wales too .. for £66... they returned today's admission price ... so actually what happened was the £66 was reduced for a senior Concession to £52.. and then they took the £19.50 off... so to be able to visit loads of other places for the next 12 months has just cost £32.50 total...

That's a great deal, HD!

Vitamin K2 has potential blood clotting interactions. Don't blindly pop this stuff without a consultation. You don't want a stroke, coronary thrombosis, or kidney damage.

Good to know, thanks for the head's up.

So, today is a test. Can I stand the strain of today? Will I just try to forget about arranging for a procedure because it is too much for me mentally?

Will be thinking of you Peppa. Please let us know how you fare. We really do care. ❤️

You can do it!
 
Made my two phone calls. Put on hold a long time, but did not lose my mind. I calmed myself by telling myself how nerve wracking this is, by facing my fears. I have been assured the ball is now in THEIR court, that they have the required information and they will contact me, I do not have to further contact them.

I didn't scream or yell aggressively. I pretended I'm a grown up. Have to remind myself as feeling, and embracing my infantile side as it comforts me to do as little as possible, get someone else to help me. Never relied on others before, but am seeing the caring, competent side of those I'm dealing with. I'm giving professionals a chance to be professional, as I place myself in their care. I will trust them, bite the bullet and get things going.

The psychiatric med & those particular professionals have gone all the way in my best interests. Sigh, leave me alone, Life, stop bothering me. Want peace and calm.
 
Good morning, fellow SFers! Had a lovely weekend and hope you did, too. Starting yesterday morning, my BFF spent the day and night, then went home this morning. Always wonderful to spend time with her.

TGS came this morning and will spend the day. His preschool is closed today for reasons I can't immediately bring to mind. But no matter - the important thing is that he's here! His eyes widened when he spotted the double batch of smallish biscotti I baked on Saturday. I gave him one this morning because, well, it IS Grandma's house.

He'll get another this afternoon. In the meantime I'll bag up most of the biscotti to stash in the freezer. What I don't freeze I'll move from the center of the dining room table. Out of sight, out of mind. Well, mostly out of mind.

Today is gorgeous, sunny and will top out around 70°. Tomorrow through Friday will be rainy and only reach the mid-50s, so timing is perfect that he's here today.

Ozzy-dog's has an appointment with his mobile groomer today.
❤️ I'll post a photo of him afterwards, when he's all spiffed up and handsome.

Happy Monday to you, whatever you're up to.

I am scared. I have anxiety/panic disorder. As I age, it has gotten worse.

I was having panic attacks that got pretty bad. I'm not sure they're what most might call "anxiety" because they were not triggered by anything obvious nor directed toward anything in particular. Just a strong feeling of doom, impending death, at a nearly physical level. I tried a lot of things including breathing techniques, and the latter landed me in a hospital bed for a week because the nabobs decided it was probably cardiac in nature.

We know that's bunk: as anyone here can attest, I have no heart.

I went on an SSRI a year and a half ago, and within two weeks I was stable and had been free of the issue until just recently. Attacks have started creeping back. Not as severe as they were but I have no delusions about ignoring it. I'm riding them out and not fighting, but they sure do sneak up on me!


I suppose that's a problem here, where we never really know how fragile a member might be feeling on any given day.

Well, we just ducked a tornado. Fair amount of damage just west of us, but not much wind over us. Electricity stayed on.

Springtime in Florida.....

We had a tornado warning this morning here in Lake County Florida. I was over at 9 am. Now the sun is shining and it's 70 degrees. I ran a couple of errands, and have skillfully avoided doing anything useful for the rest of the day . Well, other than annoying several people on here:ROFLMAO:
 
Good morning folkies...

It's 10.15am...foorecast today is for cloud, and rain.. with only 46 deg f.... that's normal March temps..so I am pleased I was able to spend last week outside the house in the unseasonable sunshine.... I definitely needed it...

Whatever you're doing today, have a good one... :love:
