How are you feeling today?

[Munchroom]

Happy belated birthday Smirfy!  &*(  !£! x

Nice to hear from you Stevie :) x

Doublep it is so unbearable when we can't sleep - and as you say it does in turn affect our mental health. I don't really know what to suggest, I'm sure you've tried all of the sensible options... I really do hope things improve for you x



Not really sure how I'm feeling today... still full of a cold and I have a couple of phonecalls to make which I'm really very anxious about. I don't feel particularly low, just quite tired...

Try to get the calls done and out of the way. Theres nothing worse than having something on your mind.

[Zaf]

Yes munchroom, do try to get them out of the way if you can (pot calling kettle black again!), hope you feel better soon xx




Me, quite positive but tired, my cold is getting worse and Ive got quite a sore throat now and I know I'll be extremely tired late afternoon/early evening so will try to get David's lunch prepared before I crash!  On the whole though right now I feel I can give me a score of 6 :)

[Glen53]

Sounds similar to the cold I had.

Plenty of fluids and rest Zaf.

[Zaf]

Its probably one thats doing the rounds,  I'm doing my best with the rest and fluids Glen, as well as a teaspoon of theives vinegar and honey a few times a day (supposed to be anti viral but tastes disgusting!)

thanks for all the birthday wishes you are lovely  :)

I have been feeling pretty low this week and have bairly dragged my ass out of bed let alone got any work done wich means I have missed two deadlines this week which means that at some point I will probably have to face the music with my professors. I think they have to give me some kind of warning before they can kick me off the course or at least I hope they do because Im not sure how I would explain being kicked out of uni to my folks.

I am thinking about getting out of bed to have a shower and then taking myself over to the doctors surgery but even that seems to be my biggest struggle.

funny the way life turns out really

Stay strong smitfy &*(

[Munchroom]

We are all behind you Smirfy  &*(

[Glen53]

Try to get yourself down to the doctors if you feel you need to. If you feel its a struggle then think of us as being 'with you' in spirit - that way you are not alone when you go.

I have been to a few appointments of late knowing that people on here are thinking of me when I do. Somehow, that gives me enough strength to make it more bearable.

I hope you feel better soon, and if you do get down to the docs, then let us know how it goes.

Take care.

It makes more sense now about not be able to have the medications, sorry I didn't get to reply this morning.

Smirfy21, I haven't tried any medications for sleeping, my doctor wouldn't let me have any and my mum won't let me have over the counter ones because she thinks I will become addicted to them.I haven't been sent for a sleep study either, my sleepwalking has not been going on that long and my last drs appointment two days ago was the first time we had really discussed it.

[Glen53]

Its certainly worth following this up if you can.

For what its worth, sleeping pills dont tend to help that well when you have depression anyway. Dont get me wrong they can help, but its probably worth investigating the sleep walking issue with the doctor as a priority. i think you may find more answers there that are helpful and experts on the subject may have more advice on how to get you sleeping better and more naturally.

Feeling really grotty now with his cold so off to bed

Godnight all xx

Woke up happy this morning and went out for coffee with a friend.  Had a lovely time then my day went downhill.  Rumours have been flying round that dh and I have been telling lies  about work.  The elder and his wife came round for coffee to have it out with us.  To say the least we were very hurt and offended by this but got the matter sorted.  It's put me off going there again so I am serously thinking about going to another church.

I'm sorry your day wasn't great Ezel

I have a really bad headache, I had a sinus infection before christmas and was told to only get the antibiotics the doctor prescribed if it didn't clear up. Well it did so I didn't take them and it was fine and now I have a cold and it seems to have come back again I'm seem to always get headaches though, I always have a stiff neck and the more my neck hurts the more my head hurts

[Glen53]

Get down to the docs when you can and explain that you are getting headaches with a stiff neck. Have you had these symptoms for a while? have you slept awkwardly or had any kind of injury there lately?

Its likely nothing at all to worry about at all but combined with a recurrant sinus infection, it would seem to me you have a few good reasons to have another chat with them. Its not worth suffering in silence when they may be able to sort this out for you. and make you feel comfy again.
