How are you doing?

[Hb2003]

Hello mental health check how are all of you guys doing ? I am doing great 😊 I hope all of you are too

[mvillarreal]

Honestly, I'm up and down lately, it seems, but I'm okay. Graduate school's brought up a lot triggers for me since I started. I'm learning to cope, though. Thank God for my therapist!

[Hb2003 in reply to mvillarreal]

Therapy is really good . Have you tried some coping mechanisms when the triggers come up ?

[mvillarreal in reply to Hb2003]

Hb2003 Yes. I have a number of coping strategies that I've been using. There's the meditation where I mindfully sit with the emotion and hold it like a crying baby without trying to get rid of it; I also have a cat who is very therapeutic for more that I can pet; sometimes it also helps to listen to music that happened after the trauma, when I felt ecstatic that it was over; and counting the number of objects in the room that are a certain color can also be helpful.

Pleased you are doing well and feeling good. This morning I had my teeth checked, I am supposed to get checked every three months as if they have to fill or extract the have to sedate me, getting to old for Sedation so they try and catch fillings as they happen. All clear so I am over the moon and the Arthritis in my jaw is in remission

that’s wonderful to hear I am glad 😊 for my teeth extractions I have to be put on laughing gas but it makes my feet move up and down for some odd reason I want to apologize for the post I hope that I didn’t offend you

[Hb2003 in reply to Hb2003]

I can delete it if you want to 😊

[Hidden in reply to Hb2003]

Thanks now worry Hb

It is just I have not been seen for nine months and it can worry me, I have to have shunts placed in my hands and with been seventy they cannot go back to that type of treatment.

I am unable to take gas, The last time I had that fifty years ago they had problems waking me

[Hb2003 in reply to Hidden]

Yikes I am sorry about that gosh I bet it hurts

[Hidden in reply to Hb2003]

The sedative is really good although sometimes with the needles they can bruise because when I am under treatment can last one and a half hours. Cannot remember the day after treatment, however they say I am quite chatty lol

Thanks

I'm in Utah USA and it's so cold. I am having seasonal affect disorder pretty bad. Covid is adding to the issue because I also am quarantined. I'm trying to battle it this year by doing crafts and keeping myself busy.

[Hb2003 in reply to NoRegret]

I am sorry about that . Crafts are very therapeutic 😊 I hope that you get better 😊- Hiba
