Round 2 (or is it 3?)

[crowdog66]

So I go to bed last night, turn out the light -- and promptly start shuddering and sobbing in the grip of a massive panic attack. I take a heavy dose of tranquillizer, and consequently sleep until 4 pm today.

I wake up with shoulders and neck so sore that I can barely turn my head, along with various other aches and pains and an overall feeling of malaise and exhaustion.

In spite of spending most of the evening on the couch, I did manage to get up and do 5 pages of MM, so the day isn't a total loss. But I still didn't get to the bank, and we can't purchase our new Mac system until I deposit another cheque -- and the deadline to do so and get a massive discount on a new printer is the 15th. Gah.

I don't really want to go back to bed because I can feel that panic and agonizing despair still hovering on my mental and emotional horizon, but what choice do I have? I've got to sleep sometime.

:( period coming?

[crowdog66.livejournal.com]

The period is already here. :-) Came on Monday.

I'm starting to think that this is, in fact, as morgaine_inanna has suggested, the flu. A strange flu, but flu nonetheless. If my psychiatrist returns my call today I'll be discussing that possibility with him.

In any case, thanks for replying to each and every one of my whiny posts. :-) Just hearing from people helps when I'm feeling this crappy.

S'all good... i know the feeling! :) Hope you feel better soon :D

I wish I lived a lot closer, so I could be of more material assistance: help with errands, maybe a hug or a back/shoulder rub. But I offer you virtual hugs, and positive energy, and I hope things start improving for you.

Take care.

Awww... thank you so much for the kind thoughts. :-)

The support you offer, even over the net, is so very much appreciated. As I was saying to Eastpath, the responses people have been giving to my whiny posts do help me feel a bit better and keep myself grounded when I feel like I'm spinning out of control.

As always, thinking of you and hoping things are going well at your end.

Check your E-mail. I'm sorry I forgot to call before I left work but I have an idea to get several things done at once. It's all detailed in said message.

Till then **Big Corey Hugs**

Things are going very well, thank you. It's so odd...I was expecting to have a lot more trouble from the chemo. So far, the side-eefects have all been fairly minor. At worst, an annoyance. Not that I'm complaining, mind. :-)

Thank you for being so concerned. See? The world IS a better place with you in it, and this is why. *hugs* Be well. And never feel badly about complaining in your own LJ. That's what it's there for.

Oh gawd.. sounds like what I'm going through, though I wonder if it has anything to do with my bell's palsy returning with a vengence. The whole Right side of my head hurts >.< .

**Sits on the comfy couch, offers everyone some space and doles out the chokkie as a reward to complaining ^.^ **
