Up all night.

[Dodo777]

I had trouble eating again because of my Achalasia. So I stayed up watching DVDs drinking fluids and managed to blend up some fish fruit and veg. I have been losing weight due to being dehydrated a few days ago so I must try and get what I can into me. I will meditate now to relax my mind and body to face the day because if I sleep now at 8 o clock in the morning I will be up all night again.

       Anxious wise I feel ok that's because I have been meditating everyday 20 minutes. I hope many of you take this meditating up because it really takes the edge of anxiety. Wish you all the best. Dodo.

Good Day Dodo,  I'm sorry you continue to struggle with the Achalasia.  I'm glad that

meditation works for you to ease your mind and body.  I hope you get some rest today.   I hope you are in a support group for Achalasia.  Wish you well...

Hi Agora how you feeling ?

[Agora1 in reply to Dodo777]

Hi Dodo,  right now it's morning, so I'm scared.  I am suppose

to be at the psychiatrist office in order to get my refill.  They had

left a message that there was an opening first thing.  I slept but

2 hours last night going in and out of anxiety knowing there wasn't

anyway  I could get out of the house in the morning and yet worried

he won't fill my prescription for Lexapro.  I'm just so agitate now waiting for the next shoe to drop. 

More important than my trivial dilemma, how are you doing. Any better?  Are you able to keep something down?  How long have you

had Achalasia?  I wish there were something they could do to help

you but I don't know anything about it. 

[Dodo777 in reply to Agora1]

I know i Keep saying it but I am the same and some nights before appointment I dont sleep at all. 

Something isn't right  with me now I didn't sleep at all last night and still wife awake not tired at all I hope its not another sleepless night because my body will play up some where be it kidny or lungs or my achalasia. Losing weight as well.

What do you think is wrong with me Agora not sleeping eeating slight pains in kidneys . I hear many talk about lack of vitamin D because of no sun light I have over indulged in chocolate and cake because of my Achalasia. Feel like I'm on my last legs or is that my anxiety ? Troubled quite troubled. 

[Agora1 in reply to Dodo777]

I take a Vit D 1,000 mg tab every day.  No sunlight for 6 years  has taken it's toll.  I over indulge in chocolate as well.

Someone once told me that it was my body's way of making up for the magnesium it needs.  I wonder.

Have you had a check up by your doctor recently?  It seems

like it might be needed, feeling the way you do.  It is so hard I know to distinguish what's anxiety and what is a medical problem.  You say  you are quite troubled, is it

about your health or just things in general that are going on.   You know I have been getting some pain in the kidney

area but keep telling myself it's the mattress not giving me

the support.  I think because you are losing weight as well,

(although it's probably from not eating) it should be checked out.  You need to take care of yourself before you

take care of your son.  At least that's what they keep telling me.

Yea your right Agora and I will start taking vitamin D . I will sit in the Garden when its warmer and play the Guitar. I don't like people nosing. I guess I am a very private person which I have been told in the past.

   My sister contacted me by text yesterday we are like light and day. Very well educated she passes I think its called mensa and has names after her. We had a piece on our TV channel about our estate being the most Deprived. So misleading.

   I am feeling ok today. I think its the dehydration AGAIN that's playing havoc with my mental health and physical health. Who knows ?

   I hope your coping as best you can today.

[Agora1 in reply to Dodo777]

Hi, that sounds like a plan to get more Vit D in you.  Nothing is as good as the daylight and sun.  Besides the vitamin you will get from it,

you will also feel better just being out in the

fresh air.  (look who's talking)  I made the trees

grow sky high around the yard so I get that

privacy I want.     So you have a sister, I do too.

My sister doesn't have a clue about anxiety only

what she has seen through me pulling away from the family.  She lives life to the fullest each

day.     I am glad you are feeling better today.

Grab onto that feeling and relish it.  With us, we

never know what the next minute will bring. 

Do something special for yourself today, whatever it may be, you are worth it. 

[Dodo777 in reply to Agora1]

Thanks Agora wish you would act on your advice also. Glad we met its a comfort to know your here. Be well and have a nice day please. ; ) .

[Agora1 in reply to Dodo777]

Glad we met too, Dodo.  It's nice to have

found a place where we can be accepted

for who we are.  Have a good evening

[Dodo777 in reply to Agora1]

How are you ? Hope your coping.

[Agora1 in reply to Dodo777]

I'm okay....I wrote you Monday but I don't think it went through.  It was regarding getting your meds on Tuesday.  I hope it went okay yesterday.  How did you do through the weekend?
