Clinic again.

[Ccrowlu]

I’ve accidentally woken up early from pain in my back and neck. At least I get to go to the clinic today and get a referral to a rheumatologist finally! I can’t wait to at least feel a little better and hopefully stop all this pain I’ve been in. Lately it’s been getting hard to just open up a water bottle. I’m trying to stay positive about the whole situation but it does get hard some days when depression just overwhelms you. I would say something about my depression to a doctor but I’ve seen the affects of anti depressants and I’d rather not loose my inspiration and motivation like my mom did to do the things I love. I also know that my depression isn’t severe and I’m not suicidal or thinking about harming myself and have it all under control for the most part. And it just occurred to me I’m probably gonna get poked with a needle today so I have that to look forward too. 😂

Once your body gradually begins to improve/ heal, Ccrowlu, you can experience depression 😞 gently lifting. 😞 😔 😌 ☺️ 😊

Body 🚶‍♀️& mind 🙇‍♀️ are intimately connected 🔗 — inseparable. 🎂 🔪 🍰

What affects 1, affects the other. 🤔

Delighted 🤗 you're getting referred to rheumatologist 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ today!

Got your 📝 & questions ready?

Is anyone attending the appointment with you? (To serve as a 2nd set of 👁 👁 & 👂👂?)

💉 will be over in 'blink of an eye' 😜.

[Think it's sometimes the 'thinking about it' (anticipating(?) it ahead of time) that can make us unnecessarily stressed 😖 or worried 😧 ?]

Very best wishes to you, Ccrowlu. 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

I’m actually not worried about getting my blood drawn. I don’t mind needles despite my reaction every time in near on. I hate having things injected in me so that’s why I hate shots but getting blood drawn is no big deal.
