Night Shift

Hi @Angels333  thinking of you and hoping you are getting some diagnostic answers and good treatment.

Hi @Decadian  thinking of you too.  Did you get the tap fixed so you can have some lovely baths to soothe your back?

Hi @Angels333 

All the best with the stress test today.  I will be thinking of you.

Its all on the road to recovery.  Take courage ❤️

Hi @Mazarita  I can't work out exactly which posts were moderated but I was under the impression that whenever this was done we would receive an email explaining. I can't imagine that anything either of us said breached the guidelines. Perhaps @NikNik or @CherryBomb or whatever moderator is on now could explain by email please.

I am so sorry your daughter has so many issues happening all at the same time -  physical and emotional - that is so hard to take - I have had both at the same time - a car accident and my son dying from an unrelated event two days later really threw me - and yet the emotional pain was far greater

For your daughter it seems to be the other way around - neither way is wrong - just horribly hard to live with - and we all do have to get on with our lives in some way - but it seems that your daughter is in a really bad place

She has made a contract with her teacher - but maybe she will keep it or maybe she won't - or can't - I agree with the psychologist idea

She must feel so screwed inside - I feel so much for her - I wish there was something I could say

Except yes - I understand - I can see it from her side though I don't really know what she has going on - and I see it from you side - and there are times when as parents there really is very little we can do

And this is so upsetting for you - I will have you in my best thoughts

Hi @Angels333, it is concerning and can provoke anxiety when health gives us the run around and there's uncertainty about what it all means. I hope you are feeling physically okay at the moment aside from the anxiety.

Hi @Decadian, great news that you have an electronic keyboard now. I find it inspiring when people who live alone say they don't feel lonely. My mother says the same. Living alone is something so many of us need to do at some time in our lives. I found it hard to do in the years I lived alone for some years, although the second time around was easier than the first I think. I hope I can have as much grace with it as you describe if it comes to that for me again. 

@eth, regarding the moderation, I received an email but my original message wasn't attached as usual, and neither was it in the 'posts awaiting moderation' section of my profile page. So I was unable to alter it and repost as requested. Maybe if you check your 'posts awaiting moderation' you might find it there. If not, it's probably just gone. The problem was to do with our discussion of community organisations and our critical comments about a particular type of assistance offered that we both had some issues with. I'm trying to describe it without incurring further moderation. I think you will remember what we were discussing.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope sending you strength for today.  And hang on to that hope of yours.  Often when we get into the emotional work it can  help to resolve physical problems too, or at least help to manage them better.  There are many studies on psychosomatic connections these days.  Wishing the best for your daughter to make it and do well in her exam today.  I think you're an amazing Mum/carer.

[Faith-and-Hope]

Thank you so much @Decadian  I really appreciate it.  She is not co-operating at the moment, probably hoping to get to school too late for the test ... Grrrr !!

I am so sorry to hear about the horrible, horrible times you have been through.  I can't imagine how emotionally and physically painful that must have been for you.  I know how much it hurt when I lost my mother, and that sent me spinning out.  You are so courageous and strong.  You have shouldered that pain, and kept moving forward.  It is so inspiring, and you have a warm and shining light here on the forum, giving courage and strength to others now.  Bless you !

I will let you know how today pans out.  Looking for rainbows in it somewhere.

[Faith-and-Hope]

❤️ !

Gotta run !

@Mazarita just checked and there's nothing in my posts awaiting moderation but I reckon I do know which part of our conversation you refer to.  Probably because I named the organisation.  

How's your day going so far?  Hoping the dream wasn't too heavy.

@eth, our original posts have now been read by the moderator today, and both of them have now been restored to the discussion here. Thanks @Former-Member. Dreaming was pretty exhausting and I woke with a headache but it's subsiding now. I've given group meditation a miss this morning as it led to a migraine and vomiting last week when I pushed myself too hard to get there. Finding a balance with pushing myself and being kind enough to care for myself is important when dealing with both the physical and mental health issues I have. 

@Decadian, I love your post to @Faith-and-Hope about her daughter and agree that it's a very troubling situation when physical and mental/emotional issues interrelate. I relate to some of what you describe about your daughter, @Faith-and-Hope. My physical and mental illnesses also co-exist and affect each other. It's been this way since I was a child. I didn't finish high school when I was living at home with mum but returned to do year 12 at TAFE a couple of years later when I was living independently. It suited me much better to do it that way and I got straight As under those circumstances and was accepted into a major university in Melbourne, even despite not doing things the 'normal' way. All may not be lost if your daughter's mental and physical health continues to interfere with this year of school. Meanwhile, I admire your diligence in continuing to try to help her through this difficult time in both your lives.
