Sorry for the rant. It's been hectic since late fall and thru mid-March. My SSDI and 2year LTD review resolved favorably. And beautiful weather now. Why am I not enjoying it?
I wound up with a bad respiratory infection mid-March and have been on Prednisone and inhalers. I am so frustrated as it has helped very little. I see my PCP tomorrow to see what next.
I was just starting to figure out my new life, who I am without working and starting to get a little productive at home. Then wham....
I am so frustrated as it seems like a pattern for me. I start to do pretty well and then get a respiratory infection. I know I am feeling sorry for myself, and want to kick my own butt, but the Prednisone has me too anxious to even do that.
Sorry for ranting. Just needed to get it off my chest.
Does anyone else sometimes feel like you have little opportunity to feel somewhat productive before sickness and/or symptoms present themselves? What do you do to pick yourself up?
I usually can pick myself up, but all my tricks aren't working. Deep breathing or stretching, forget, I hack away. Likewise,talking to family/Friends. Listening to birds other nature,I am too jumpy and their normally beautiful songs are making me cry. Likewise, looking in my gratitude journal brings tears. TV, music want to make me jump out of my skin. My left hand is shaking too much too color, craft, write. I can't stay focused to read.
I am about ready to take the ativan round the clock and sleep away the days. Any help? Appreciate it.
