Pants.
I've just read your bio underneath your message to me.

How are you feeling after your op?
It reads so sadly 😢

Do you want to chat at all? X

Hey Pinkjan, the surgery was 8 weeks ago now, and it has been a difficult journey. At the moment I feel worse than I did a week or 2 after. In order if rubbishness - anxiety, aching bone and joints, no energy, disturbed sleep.
I've just started on ADs. The first lot I tried gave me terrible side effects. So far so good on the new stuff (day 3).
I just want to feel like me again.

[Pinkjan4288]

Oh pants...
that's sounds tough, My dd15 had a few different Ad's and had awful side effects and had to stop taking them. I'm glad you have found one that is helping.

I hope you are being kind to yourself x

Feeling poo right now. Had a couple of big energy lows today.  Trying to work through this one, without getting anxiety. Easier said than done.

can you rest today Pants? watch Netflix and take it easy?

[pants46]

Hey Pinkjan. Just read your post ... having been out to mow the front lawn !!! Going to do the back lawn in a mo ... which is easier (smaller and flat).
Then I'll probably hang out on the sofa. Need to do some work ... but that just requires my brain. I just need to engage it !!
How are you today ?

[Pinkjan4288]

I'm ok. Quite tired but did 2 dog walks and a load of research for my essay.
I'm training to become a counsellor so have lots of essays to write for college. I have just watch a research video on YouTube and completely forgot most of it!!

[pants46]

Wow. I couldn't imagine going back to education or retraining at my age (46).  I'm so impressed. Sorry you're feeling tired, but well done for taking the dog out.
I was looking at rescue dogs before my surgery. But right now, I don't think I have enough energy. I'm a responsible dog owner ... out in all weathers.
It makes me a little sad, because I know having a new dog would be so good for me. But you have to put the dog's needs first. Maybe later in the year.
Are you feeling a bit better compared you when you first posted ?

[Pinkjan4288]

I love it Birdy.
I was made redundant in summer 2017 from a job that was slowly killing my brain.
I decided to do an intro course to see what it's like and loves it.
Did level 2 last year and will finish level 3 this summer.
Then I've got to decide what modality to continue with for the following 2 years to become qualified.

I've learnt so much but I do struggle to write my essays.


Pants. I do feel a bit better then when I wrote the original thread.
I've been using magnesium spray every day. Taking floridax and trying to choose better food.

Slept bad last night though. Too hot and dreamt I was writing my hw!!

Pinkjan, I'm glad you are feeling better than before. I slept badly again last night. I haven't slept through the night for 2 months now ... just had enough. Going to start a new thread on that topic. x
