Not a snow day, still at work, Randoms and bitching

[jnerd]

Power is out. Not sure for how long. I'm off until I can be sure I can charge my phone.

My stomach has been hurting all night and DH is puking now. Awesome. I just got over a stomach virus last week.

I had another bad day yesterday. I'm beginning to feel hopeless about ever feeling normal again.

Today isn't too bad but damn it. I just want to feel ok. I want to be able to sleep. And I'd really like to stop. Fucking.crying.

Hugs. Is anything going on or is it depression/anxiety?

I would really like my kid's neuro nurse to respond to my emails and just let me know if she needs to be seen. This is really irritating.

Ugh my last bloodwork showed elevated levels of AFP and now it's a painstaking wait until my ultrasound on Thursday. As if my anxiety isn't high enough.

It is mostly anxiety. I feel like I've been trapped in fight or flight mode for a week. All someone has to do is say "boo" and I come completely unglued.

I have an appt with a therapist tomorrow.

We had to take my son to the dr yesterday. He has the flu so the dr have all of us tamiflu. I had contractions on and off all last night, but nothing came of them. My husband is now feeling bad too, I'm afraid of going into labor with the flu hanging around here.

I'm sorry thebanich. I hope your therapist helps.

I am the same weight for the third week in a row. Plateau? I'm not sure I'm getting enough calories or something. Fuck trying to lose weight.

Finally home from work and I got my netipot done and showered. I'm trying to get motivated to get off the bed and get the dish towels in the wash and unload the dishwasher. So far no motivation has been found...

[goldenbird]

Big hugs to you, thebanich. I struggle big time with anxiety and I fucking hate it. I hope the therapist helps!

Sounds like a plateau. You could try upping your calories by a couple hundred and see if your metabolism kicks in and check weight again next week. Obviously keep exercise the same. If it doesn't change you might up the exercise. You could all of a sudden go down a few pounds next week or something though. Sometimes that happens. It's tough with increasing exercise though since the more you work out, the hungrier you are, or it seems that way for me.
Good luck!
