Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @Former-Member @Shaz51

Had my gp appointment - blood pressure is a little high but we are going to keep monitoring it over the next couple of weeks and if it goes any higher then we will start the medication again. 

I made the decision before I left home to not go to work today - it was going to be too much of a rush and I knew it would make me feel anxious with a limited time frame to get things done so I am going to aim for tomorrow morning so I can still go to hydrotherapy at midday. That is a much better plan that is achievable without any extra pressure on me. It will mean I can see some of the kids as well so that will be nice Smiley Very Happy

I talked with my GP about the difficulties I had at DBT last week so that was good to talk about - I left her room today laughing and that is something I haven't done for some time so worth the visit for that alone Smiley Surprised

Re: Am Not Coping

Yes you did @Faith-and-Hope lol Smiley LOL

Re: Am Not Coping

Just saw the image @Former-Member - it is absolutely gorgeous - thank you Heart

Re: Am Not Coping

Glad it all went ok today @Zoe7

I am picturing a little butterfly laughing, floating out of a doctors office now!! Smiley Very Happy

 

Re: Am Not Coping

haha @Snowie I did comment about us laighing as I was leaving and that just made me laugh more Smiley LOL

This little flutterby doesn't laugh much so it was a nice departure from my normal state!

How has your day been Hon?

Re: Am Not Coping

Loved hearing the “left her room laughing” @Zoe7 💕

Re: Am Not Coping

Thanks Hon - it was a nice moment @Faith-and-Hope Smiley Very Happy

Have you finished classes for today?

Re: Am Not Coping

Yes.  Just doing some work in the library before heading home.  Need to pick up some more craft stuff on the way, then it’s out for a family occasion ..... but so will be here on and off anyway 😊

Re: Am Not Coping

@Zoe7day has been ok thanks. Very low key which is good.

Re: Am Not Coping

It is so wonderful hearing how much you are into the different mediums from your course @Faith-and-Hope - the craft shops must be doing a roaring trade with you around Smiley LOL That is something I miss doing with the kids and I don't have the room with everything stored at my place to do much myself - when the roof of the garage is finally done I can store some things in there and make some room.

@Snowie a low key day is just what you needed after your busier days over Friday and the weekend. I was going to get some washing done but it is raining again so it will have to wait until I get home tomorrow. So tonight I am going to have a very chilled out night - maybe watch House Rules and then early to bed if I can. The reduction in my meds has meant I am waking up super early so they may have to be adjusted up again - it doesn't seem to affect how tired I am in the morning - maybe we need to give them a little more time on the reduced amount but I will talk to my pdoc on Wednesday.
