How are you feeling?
« on: May 20, 2013, 10:00:27 PM »
Time for a new thread  0158 so I will start.

Today has been a good day for me generally.  Been out today to get utensils to help me in the kitchen such as a one touch can opener and a one touch jar opener.  We've had a community nurse round this afternoon for hubby as he was diagnosed with angina.  Our mutts have made a new friend so very happy.

 :hug: to both of you.

I'm okay apart from being annoyed with somebody.  Last year I broke my ankle on his property and am after compensation (long story).  Today I got a letter from his insurers solicitor trying to deflect fault back on me.  He claims that I told him I had slipped on his property but he's not sure if I did yet he was the one who saw me fall, told my husband and was the first one there to help me up.  It has been implied that I should have been more careful and that his property is well maintained on the assumption I fell on his ground.  I am so angry because I know I fell on his property, it was dark outside so I walked cautiously and I was watching where I was going 004 .  He is such a liar!

Was on a bit of a downer yesterday but probably attributed by arthritis being bad.  I've had a good night's sleep and feel better now.

Hope your arthritis has been easier for you today. 

My mood has been been low today as I have problems sleeping.  My doctor doesn't like prescribing sleeping tablets as a rule so I may need to keep on that I can't carry on not sleeping much.

I take Amitriptyline as one of my pain relief tablets and it helps me sleep

Today has been a generally good day and the weather helps.

Had an entire weekend at home spent it locked away in my room doing coursework but even that I haven't found mentally stimulating.  Back at work tomorrow and just cannot even contemplate going but gonna have to force myself due to people not knowing about my depression.  My body just feels limp and lifeless and I don't wanna see or speak to anyone.
How is everyone on this bank holiday weekend?

It's been good, very relaxing as we do voluntary work 4 days a week and go to church on Sundays.  Sometimes it's more if needed so we deserved a rest.  Hubby's been able to get some work done in peace as he does webdesign.  Friday had been a long day as I help with a lunch club which is once a week and we've been short on volunteers for the past few weeks.  Hubby opens up before we need to be there to let in the community bus volunteers.  The ones who go in on Fridays only have a key for the office but not the main door or alarm fob.  The only advantage is I've been able to stuff in the half hour / 40 minutes before the others turn up.

That sounds very rewarding. What type of voluntary work do you do?Webdesign sounds well cool, puts my dull pharmacy career to shame haha.  Was thinking of doing an open uni course in computing, IT and statistics, don't suppose he'd happen to know much about that would he?
Glad you are having a relaxing weekend, sounds like after Friday you deserve it!

Hubby is self taught.  He left school without any qualifications and when we got our first pc I was the one who had to work out how to get started on it  :bgrin: .

Our church is made up of two buildings, one being the chapel, vestry, tiny kitchen and toilet, the other one is the church hall.  That has a main hall with stage, ladies, gents and disabled toilets, three rooms of different sizes and large kitchen.  The hall is actually used for different activities such as an operatic society, scouts and cubs, weight watchers, parents and toddler group, credit union, lunch club and community bus.

We officially volunteer for the credit union which is open Tuesdays and Thursdays for 1 1/2 hours on both days.  Hubby is part of the property team so we both clean the church hall (all rooms) on Wednesdays and at lunch club on Friday.  We are also on the cleaning rota for the chapel so do that about every 6 weeks.  Hubby is also one of the funeral stewards.  However if there is a funeral and the family want a buffet in the hall I get asked to help with that and for specials such as the Christmas fayre.  I even been asked to sit in the office if any of the volunteers don't show up for the community bus.  That's an easy enough job though.  We are also 'on call' for opening locking up the hall when outside groups such as weight watchers who are in on Saturday mornings.

I am pretty much the same.I feel numb and feel nothing,which i've found seems to have happened over past week,which i find strange cos normally am filled with anger,self hatred or hating everyone else.Do you find your numbness has come
about like that or has it been different for you?
Big hugs
