Two days can be so different

Today has been different, this time yesterday I felt really good, today I’ve the had burning feeling in my arms a couple of times and the on and off anxiety in the chest, that makes you fearful. I’m keeping calm in myself but inside doesn’t feel the same today, ones fighting the other it seems I went for a 2 mile walk this morning with my daughter back to her house, had some lunch then home again. I was going to go for a bus ride and a walk around the shops but it started raining quite a lot so I came back in. It’s one of those days that although I’ve seen my daughter for a couple of hours I didn’t want to stay indoors.... Flipping weather. still feel a little uneasy on and off, but lost for somewhere to go, it’s not exactly mind blowing scenery around here.

Yes that’s what a lot of it is isn’t it, yesterday I kept myself busy in and out and chatting to neighbours etc, but now I’m stuck for something to distract me so it kind of plays around on me, if you know what I mean

Hi Sam

Thought perhaps you were having a good day yesterday because we did not hear from you.

I agree that it is lovely walking by the sea whatever the weather. I got some great stormy sea pictures.

Honey had gone back today and I miss her but I went out with a friend to a a village of open garden and had a really lovely chat as well as seeing some beautiful riverside gardens so that made up for it.

Great you had such a good day yesterday and that you got a really good walk today even if you didn't feel so good.

All the best.

Hi Kim, yes it’s strange how it goes, the good day I only felt quite nervous because I had that appointment for assessment, but when I left the rest of the day was really good, so it always seems worse when the next day is different. This morning I’ve got a bit of nausea but this time I think it’s the circadin as I’ve been taking it each night and one of the side effects is nausea so I read. Can’t win sometimes, lol. It’s a miserable rainy day here today so goodness knows what I’m going to do, I can’t stay in all day. I’m Glad you had a good day with your friend, sounds like a lovely place

Sometimes the bad weather can create a real sense of feeling trapped indoors..

Yes that’s true

Do you ever go to Greenwich Park?

I like it there because although it is in London and ‘busy’, it is so big that you can easily find a quiet spot. Might be a nice place for a change of scenery.

Yes I’ve been there in the past not sure I could go there on my own at the moment as it’s quite a way and I’ve only been staying fairly local. Yes It’s a lovely park though

Hi Sam

Thanks for your reply. Yes it was lovely. There were some beautiful swans with 5 gosling's swimming past while we sat on comfy garden chairs on the lawn. This particular garden had masses of colourful scented roses climbing over old knarled apple trees with the river at the bottom of the garden. Such heaven to look out on that each morning. The river opens out at that point and there is a weir and the owner told us that the swans that live there are not very good parents and last year let their babies get too near the weir and some of them got washed over. However they have a boat as many of the houses do and they were able to rescue the signets and reunite them with their anxious parents.

Sorry I sent that too early.

I was going to say that it is a shame you do not have much of interest near you. Do you have a park with a duck pond? I can always cheer myself up feeding ducks even if it is raining. I do not mind looking like a sad little old lady feeding 🦆 s on her own in the rain. Lol!

I bet there will be a shop you fancy having a browse through if not. You might be able to get another top you fancy. I got myself a lovely top and a dress for the summer in a charity shop the other day. We can find some really good brands in our charity shops because it is quite a posh area.

Anyway, have a nice day.

Keep in touch, I want to hear about the good days too!

I am not sure what I am going to do today yet either.

Best wishes.

Kim

Well rain or no rain I’ve got to go out somewhere, I’ll have to wait until a bit later when the nausea eases off, it affects my upper stomach more as I do suffer from gastritis sometimes, so it aggravates it. I bought a lovely linen shirt in my local charity shop a couple of weeks ago, looks really nice on 😊

Maybe I could just go out around a few more charity shops in the next town later to see what they have

Anxiety sucks, I have not had since a long time now, maybe because I got a job that is making me busy a lot. However, since 3 days I had that feeling when my heart started to beat faster (a condition I used to get regarding my thyroid) the moment I felt it I was like oh dear and it makes me depressed and sad. Now I still have this problem, but really I don't know if this me now imagining or is it really there. I have noticed that when I remember a symptom that happened to me in the past and I hate it, just wait few days and here it is happening to me again. So annoying!

Yes it is, and Its true, If I think about it too much the same happens. I went out today and a couple of times I felt uneasy but I was with my granddaughters and managed to distract myself a little

It definitely sucks

I'm a teacher and sometimes it happen to me during the class, like can you imagine that? But thank God the kids keep me busy and distract me, but sometimes my feeling is stronger so I just take a deep breath and continue my work. It's hard I'm not going to lie. I will practice my brain to not freak out when it happens and know that it will pass as it happened millions time before.

Laniben in reply to Horse-lover

that must be difficult for you, yes kids can be a good distraction, I imagine it isn’t easy either. That’s why I prefer now to be around people and family for the same reason. Oh yes so many times it happens to us, we know the drill, yet still we can get uptight fearful panicky or however it affects us. the times I’ve said that to myself, but when it happens I don’t believe it
