Re: Life can be a Pain
So good to hear! I think I'm on the same boat as you. I've woken a different person today and at least the sun is shining on my side. Can't wait to get out of the house!!!

Re: Life can be a Pain
Thanks @BPDSurvivor
It is great to wake up feeling better - I agree - and it's a lovely day outside today - I have the front door open and I am just sitting inside with the lovely fresh air wafting in and the birds are singing
I was really tired last night - There are often good movies on TV on Friday nights but alas - last night - nothing that I found interesting - I watched a couple of recorded movies - I fell asleep during the second one - I got up and went to bed late - and went back to sleep straight away - and after the cold wind and rain we had last night we have a splendid morning
All the best - I hope your day is the best it can be

Re: Life can be a Pain
Hi @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @Maggie @greenpea @outlander @BlueBay @Gazza75 @Zoe7 @utopia
I have made an appointment with a psychologist and that's about a month away but I am not in a hurry and also rang the new Pain Specialist and I can't make an appointment yet because they will be sending me a form (12 pages of it) to fill out first - and then I will have to wait for about a month for that appointment too
It's so good that I am not in a hurry - my current permit for my medication lasts until April and I am not going back to the old pain clinic - that is totally out of the question
But I feel uneasy about the change in situation too - still - I would feel worse if I was not making changes - I'm not sitting on the fence but that woman certainly got under my skin and my enjoyment of life was totally impaired for a while - I think the unsettled feeling is normal and will pass.
When I have got my life settled with a new pain specialist I will be writing some letters about what happened - this is something that has been a good stand-by for me all my life - I forget when I started being proactive about my life and things that made me feel uneasy - I find these a good memories to help me deal with my changes in circumstances
My favourite would be going out to demonstrate many years ago now - on icy winter nights - getting involved with something I felt very strongly about - I didn't let it get to me - I was writing letters to newspapers and one was published
I could never just let a negative event take my positive attitude away - I don't let people get away with bad behaviour. Things can happen to put us in a bad place but there is no need to stay there - so I have plans to improve things and not just for myself
But I do feel edgy - anxious I guess - but I have started to take action in making appointments
Thanks for being there everyone - your support is well accepted and appreciated

Re: Life can be a Pain
You are taking action by making appoitnments @Owlunar and despite most being some time away you are still doing it - so that is a positive. Sorry I am not much help at the moment but reading and listening
