How are you feeling?

[SoScared]

Do you ever start worrying about something (even something that you’ve already thought about) and just grind and grind away dwelling on the subject? The subject matter may be quite important but even so just grinding and grinding away only serves to make me ill. I sometimes even carry it on to the next day. When I’m doing this type of thinking my mind becomes blocked. I don’t walk good, I don’t think good, I don’t carry myself well etc, etc.

I’m getting much better at not getting involved with these negative thoughts but sometimes they seem to be too powerful for me right now.

^Yeah, sometimes I get so obsessed over something that it's preventing me from doing anything productive. Totally unhealthy.

I feel like I want to crawl into bed and just sleep for a week or so. I've been sick with a sinus infection for 6 days, finally the pain got to be too much so I went to the doctor. He said it was pretty bad, gave me some huge antibiotics (1000mg). The second night on those, I woke up short of breath, my tongue was swollen up like 3x normal, chest pain/tightness, hives on my face/hands. Had to go to emergency room and get an epinephrine injection.

Turns out, I'm allergic to that antibiotic, and so is my dad. So I got some different stuff now... still feel like garbage, but at least I won't have to go to work tonight. 3-day weekend spent entirely on my couch or in my computer chair. Good times, hah.

Woah, sorry to hear that. Feel better and enjoy your time off

^ I don't think I could trust myself with an e-book, which is why I've never purchased one. I'm afraid I'd have it, but then delete it somehow or lose it on my computer or something. Thanks for that free trial though, I'll definitely keep that in mind.

I told the girl I like that she's a great, inspiration woman and that she should be proud of herself, and she mentioned that that's the best thing anyone's ever said to her. She then told me that I'm great and I shouldn't change.

My day went from good to great in an instant!

^ Wonderful!

I didn't actually buy any books. I got this magazine. I still haven't figured out how I got "6 free gifts" when the magazine was $20 and is normally half that price. :question: I had a gift card, though, so that helped.

^ Very cool!

^ Yikes! What were you taking? Penicillin? I'm allergic to penicillin, but I've never had a reaction that extreme. I just break out in hives and itch all over, it's more of a nuisance really. Hope you get well soon!

Yah it was a Penicillin based antibiotic. I've got a weeks worth of steroids to take, and taking bendadryl every few hours. Feeling okay, just sleepy.

Had orientation for work today, I have "homework" to do this weekend for "coffee class" on Monday

The cool part is that they hired me at a pretty good rate - I thought for sure it'd be minimum wage. One of the managers said that our wage rate was based on our interviews. I snuck a peek at the lady sitting next to me (probably not very appropriate to do but oh well) and I got a higher rate than she did. I don't know what the others were hired at, but that was a confidence booster anyway. Maybe it's because I've had so many customer service jobs :idontknow: Either way, I'm earning more than I thought I would be. Now I just hope I get the hours I want and I'll be all set in saving for college next year!

 

[bcsr]

Congrats

can you get us free donuts? :idontknow:

 

[dottie]

yeah, opa. hook it up!

 

[anomicdeer]

I now feel like I'm never going to be better.
I feel like I will never be in a better situation.

 

[pnr]

Mentally I am strong and confident.

But I am inside and won't go out.

So therefore I am not tested.

I am on gov't aid. I wish to get off of it and find my own way to fend for myself.

I have to find a job. Bah! I keep getting rejected but I have to stay ready and strong.

I have to continue to search and eventually someone will hire me.

 

[takeheart]

A few hours ago I was stressed out big time but now I feel better. recently my only friend stopped talking to me completely and its been hard adjusting to because I was used to the person. Now I'm alone again. oh well life goes on

 

[JuiceB]

Was feeling down and out earlier as well. Just finished about an hour workout and I feel better.

 

[dottie]

my head is swimming: mind's trying to retain all this material.

my body is swimming: just worked out for the first time in a long time. i feel wobbly and sore. going to keep at it.

and... feeling very good.

 

[MikeyC]

Anxious! I have a barbecue to attend shortly with members of extended family I either don't know or don't like. I'm absolutely not looking forward to that one bit.

Happy Australia Day, everyone!

Hey, this sounds great! :thumbup:

Working out does relieve depression a little bit, so you did the right thing and your body will thank you.

Considering I don't want to go, that sounds like a very awesome idea. I don't own any explosives. :sad:
