Good and bad days


Recommended Posts

Had what I call more positive days was able to get up and walk around a tiny bit resting on the sofa last couple of days doesn't help with this heatwave WD happening on an off still but I was able to watch TV which I haven't done for over a month eat more and get more fresh air in the back garden if I sit in the shade but night time is terrible I'm in and out of sleep and WD the burning sensation in my chest and arms palpitations and nausea, making me feel lightheaded are the worse

Hello hel, 

I’m getting a lot of symptoms that are similar to yours. I’m also able to walk around the house a bit on good days only. My night times can at various times involve panic attacks out of nowhere, restlessness, or just toxic light interrupted sleep. Sometimes very little sleep.

 I also find it hard to watch tv, and have only recently able to do it. 

I envy those who can cope with their symptoms by going swimming or working or watching lots of films/walking in nature. All things I used to love to do

I’m just trying my best to endure the suffering and wait it out and visualise the brain healing

all my best wishes for your recovery 

Just know this is not permanent. This situation is life changing. Once you are on the other side you will have a new appreciation for life. For your mental health. We have been put in this position for a reason. Maybe we needed this to happen to realize what we have in life. We are the chosen ones. To suffer in this life to get our reward. 

Hard times make stronger people. Keep fighting and moving forward. We will succeed.

Eng101 and hel, 

 

thanks for the encouragement. My husband is basically looking after my daughter- I get scared that I may lose my mind and upset her, but try not to mourn all the things I would have done with her if I was well. I was a great mum for 12 years and I never meant to get myself poisoned. I just have to hang in and try my best and pray that I will one day look back upon this time and think it was horrible but I got through it

@[Bu...] my daughter is 12 too and I am beyond devastated for missing this summer with her in so many ways. I know I won’t ever get this time back - I feel you and can relate, I type this as I lay here wishing I was with her making memories at the beach being the fun carefree mom I used to be.
