Overwhelming day

Starrlight profile image

I am overwhelmed. And today was a really hard homeschool day but that will happen. Pain all over my back but that will happen. Every day I get stress headaches and have a buzzing sound in my ears and wish I knew why.

I guess it all comes down to *accepting* what is and to keep doing my best with what I have.

Thanks for listening to me process.

You seem to be doing well at practicing acceptance Starrlight. You are setting a good example to us.

Always here to listen. Could the back pain have something to do with your posture or staying in a certain position too long while you homeschooling? Depending on where your stress headache is that could be the same thing. As my back pain gets worse during the day it often causes headaches. Just a thought. I admire you for accepting what is. Not something I am good at. I want answers and solutions when I am in pain. Sending HUGS and hoping tomorrow is better.

It’s from lifting my mom up and cleaning and walking her each morning. I try to use my abs arms legs but my back always get the brunt of it… ❤️💙❤️

Try using your legs more. Learned that in physical therapy. It might help.

Always here for you. You have a lot on your plate and your body's bound to react. But you have a great attitude. You always do.

(((((((((((((((((Joshgw))))))))))))))) thank you❤️💙

You're doing such a great job recognizing what's bothering you. It can be hard to do, just background noise creating more and more stress.

As you notice what's wrong, you can decide the best way to deal with it.

I like to sit and have a cup of tea when things get to be too much. It's a universal cure-all, you know.

I don't know, but the buzzing in your ears might be something to have a doctor look at.

I needed a reminder right now. I'm fighting off the nightly panic and pain. Time for me to get some tea too!

I hurt my back pretty early in the day, and Tara's been screaming ever since. (She hates when I make hurt noises.) 🦜💙

It has to be so difficult trying to learn to home school your own children. I can only imagine. Just do the best you can. 🙂

Yeah there are hard times but its mostly positive good times if you go in with a good mindset. We started homeschool on August 15 we were off to a great start but for the last two days everything is overwhelming. Not just school, but everything. I really worked hard around the house today after school and the exercise did me good. Feeling a bit better. but I have to plan for tomorrow. Good it will be Friday! ❤️💙

in reply to Starrlight

Yes, Friday is the best day of the week!!!

I'm sorry you had a stressful day. But you are doing your best you can. So hugs to you🤗

My day wasn't great either. Stupid internet went out. Contacted At&t yesterday chatted with a customer service rep. They say there was an outage. Be back up soon. Never happened. So made an appointment. To my surprise they came earlier than my appointed time. Thought maybe some good luck. But no. They said it's the router thats messed up. So they switched them out. But no internet access. Tech had to call At&t himself, talked to 3 different people and still nothing. Tech called it quits by 6pm. Tech got to my house at like 2:45pm and stayed until 6pm. Tech said he needs to talk to his higher ups to look into my account, probably have to reverify my account or whatever. Tech will be in touch. Then left.

That sounds very frustrating!!! Hope it all works out.

Yes, it got all worked out. Turns out the ether cable was plugged into the router at both ends basically made a U without realizing it 😤 😂 so the other tech that came figured that out and 🔌 the cable into the wallbox like it should have been 😂

in reply to CL3V3R-G1RL

Yay!!!🙂

Very frustrating. Sounds like you are being patient though. Hope the trouble is fixed soon. Best to you!

Yes it was fixed this morning. Another tech showed up & realized the first tech plugged the ether net cable into into the router twice instead of the box on the wall 😤 😂

Is there anything you can do to alleviate some of these symptoms? I hope the weekend off gives you some time to rest and recharge your batteries.

Hmmm 🐬I think today will be a short school day because the kiddos are going at 12:00 to help dad at the warehouse. So that should help. And I will meditate more than usual today. Thanks ❤️⭐
