How are you feeling?

Warning. Negativity Alert.

I feel trapped inside my own head just like every other day i guess

This is what I'm feeling right now. Trapped. One part of me wants to get out and enjoy life the way it was meant to be. To be able to force myself out and try exciting new things and meet people.

The other side has me stuck in worry and despair. I've messed up so many times in the past that I can't help but to worry about screwing up. It's stupid to think like that but its real. Trying to break out of that mindset is difficult, especially when you have no one to turn to for help and motivation.

And positive thinking alone doesn't work. It's hard to "not think about the negatives" that can happen. Guess I just keep pressing on. :confused:

Sweaty and in pain... Tried doing some more strength training today including leg-raises into my workout... With a painful sacroiliac joint that was not a good idea... I knew it would hurt, but it hurt a lot and it's still hurting now. *Sigh* Well, let's see... It'll either help - physio hurts and that helps... Or it will make it worse... Which will it be? Knowing me, it'll be the latter. Still, it has improved since the last time I tried leg-raises... I couldn't even lift my legs off the ground then because of the pain...

Oh jeez. Have you seen a physical therapist? I sure hope it feels better, fast.

I have no idea how it happened but I got 88% on my assignment for counselling theory and cultural discrimination.
I thought I was going to fail big time.
^ Great job, Kia! :)


I'm feeling really bored today. Tired of looking at articles and political cartoons. At least my history is just about halfway done and I'm just about done with this research for my paper.

Thank god I finally found a topic yesterday with loads of information. :D

Well done! Once again, you're better than what you think you are.

But happy i found this site :)
I'm sorry, but welcome to the site, fellow Australian. :)

The more you try, the better you'll be. It will hurt, but you've already shown improvement by being able to raise your legs now. Keep at it.

Thank you! :) No, I haven't, with my agoraphobia I can't visit any doctors or anything at all like that, so I've been working on it on my own...

I hope that will prove true... With my SI pain, I've had to stop certain exercises because it simply made the pain worse (That's when I ended up having to use a stick in order to walk)... But on the plus side, I've found a new physio exercise which actually seems to soothe the pain (after making it hurt more briefly)! So perhaps that will be of greater benefit!

I've had pain now for about two years, but it was on and off initially... It's been about a year (or a little less - I'm not sure exactly) of continuous pain... I'm ready for it to get better now... PLEASE!

But thank you, Mikey! ^_^

Right now, I'm feeling annoyed with the new neighbours... They've dumped a TV and something pink and fluffy about the size of a large dog bed, with an animal head on one side, on our garden and some rubbish on top of our compost bin... If it's not gone by the morning my husband and I will be very annoyed!

I feel like crap, as per usual. ::(:
I'm sorry Graeme. My inbox is always open if you want to talk.

Well done Kia! :)
Again? Damn. Sorry, Srijita. I have no advice except to try and get away from the situation. ::(:
Thanks Mikey.

It should not hurt so much, be careful not to damage yourself...

^Thank you, I am careful.

***********

I'm feeling upset at the moment... The only person who is friendly with me on FaceBook has lost her little Chihuahua puppy in a house fire... She's only had her for a few weeks... I don't know exactly what has happened, since one of her friends updated a group they set up and just said she wouldn't be on for a while.... I hope all of her family are okay, it's sad, she's only been in her home for a few months... (I don't even know if it's her house that's been affected... It could be someone else's for all I know!) And the her children will be so upset with the loss of the puppy, not to mention her... She's posted so many photographs of the sweet little thing. :'(
 
I feel sick at heart.

I just want a simple life with good friends and a good husband and a nice little house, I want to cook and clean and make things with my hands. I want to be a housewife.

But I'm afraid I'll never have that because I'm physically out of the ordinary. I wish I was 5'5 and had normally-proportioned extremities (that sounds weird... hah). I wish I was more like this girl. Cute, normal, has wonderful experiences and travels.

And when I feel like this I just want to walk out into the street and stand in front of the next car to go by.

I'm so sick of feeling this way, is there any hope to not be depressed? I want to LIVE, so badly, but I'm afraid...

There's nothing wrong with you, Beatrice. Those dreams of yours will be reached; you've got to give it time and the action to achieve it. If you want to attract a guy, try to make yourself stand out:). If there's someone you've got your eye on, show interest in him and try to go on outings with him.

Do things that will make you proud of yourself. Push your limits everyday and try to go past them. Just become happy with yourself:). It may take a while, but it's possible. Don't be afraid because you've got the support of everyone here.

Well, keep persevering. I have no advice here, sorry. Definitely not a doctor. :)

I still don't understand why you think you're unattractive. I've seen your picture.

But I digress. You can have these things. The sheer fact that you're posting that on this site means there's a little something in you that wants to be happy and healthy. The more you strive for it, the closer it'll get.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't suggest just being a housewife, as there's more to life than looking after a man, but you could do that plus do things you enjoy. Don't forget to look after yourself.

Had a really bad anxiety burst. Recovering from it now.
Sick to my stomach with anxiety
I hope you two are feeling better now.
