The Official 2020 Everything But The Kitchen Sink Post

Wish something helped with brain fog.

Don't they recommend exercise, sleep, reduce stress, and other such things for that? Things that people normally can't do if they're having it.

I almost forgot to take my meds this morning

I hope you took them though as you 'almost forgot'

I am way off kilter today.
12:00
I need to get out of bed and shower and brush my teeth.
Water the plants (didn't do it yesterday)
Wash dishes and the cat box.

I'm in a fog right now. Don't you just love the fogs
?
Just stood up to take my shower and my oxygen dropped. Hypoxia is no joke.

Exercise will provoke vomiting for me. I really miss swimming. Hard to sleep while nauseous or manic. Not sure how to reduce stress when sickness is making me stressed and juggling life's responsibilities adds to that stress. Especially when you have to pretend like you are not ill in a bid to not make others overly concerned or uncomfortable. Which adds to stress and sickness. Atop that there are financial pressures all down to the crime of becoming ill in the first place.

Here is a poem I thought was kinda awesome.

Granted it'd be a bit noticeable if I went to work smelling like a sewer, oily hair and all lol


And yeah, I mean I get that, I really do. After a while it's just more and more piling on. I'm on so many meds to control pain/headaches/tremors/etc that it's making it so I can't concentrate/function. Go off, I'm in too much pain to concentrate/function. Most doctors (but one--and doctors say she's crazy lol) say I have Fibromyalgia. Blood work comes back saying my inflammation is in rheumatoid arthritis levels apparently, but no signs of it in joints.

It's like I'm falling apart lol. But I go on. It's just so tiring. Especially since I know that I'd have 40 years left of it if I live, and this is the least amount of pain I'll be in--it's just going to get worse.

Just so many things... too many things.


I honestly wish I would've had a diagnosis earlier. I really wish my friend, when I had a suicide attempt and stopped mid-attempt to take a friend to the er when she was caught in a suicide attempt (yes, her suicide attempt stopped mine), and she noticed it--that maybe instead of not saying something and us striking a deal where neither would stop the other, that she would have said something. But... it is how it is.

Ugh... another dark thing.... this thread needs cute kittens or something now.

@Carina,
Good morning. You asked for cute kitties, so here you go. I imagine this is how @Squiddy looks every morning when she wakes up.
Good morning everyone.
I hope everyone is hanging in there today.
I'm about to get up and take a shower, get dressed, and try to spend most of the day NOT hiding in bed with the covers over my head for the first time in two days.
I'll be back in a little while. I just wanted to say good morning and let everyone know I was still. . . here.

 

[Jean4]

Showered and brushed my teeth. Back in bed. Oxygen is back up, but still light headed.

 

[Squiddy]

So cute. Found her at the shelter

My dad has to talk to my mom about it and then my brother has to go see him since he's a bit scared of dogs and only likes quiet dogs

There's a 24 hour subway down the street from my new place. I can make that a reality at a moments notice anytime I want now!

I like mayo, but only on burgers. My dad got mayo on his sub though

Truthfully I prefer mustard on things over most things... Mayo too, but mustard is a go-to for me more times than not.

 

[realjunes]

I took them about an hour ago

I'm getting lunch in a bit so I'll post a pic

I couldn't wait for you laggards today for lunch, so I beat @Squiddy to WhopperVille: Sorry, Squigs, and no snacks today @Jean4. I am busted! (southern talk for being really full).

Eat it, suckers.

Long live Mustard !

I don't know how my dad is still eating his sub when I finished like 40 minutes ago

Mustard over mayo for me too. Spicy mustard for extra points.
