@QuietMagic Hi Q :) How are you?
I've typed and deleted a reply at least half a dozen times lol. How I'm feeling seems to be a tricky question. Let's just go with .... Meh
I've been trying not to mentally beat myself up. Some days are harder than others. I think too much about past mistakes and opportunities I let slip away.
Thank you for the work you do here!
@mytwistedsoul
Haha, the typing/re-typing thing is too relatable. Sometimes if a question doesn't have a clear answer, it's just the wrong question to try to answer at the moment. (There's a reason for the boilerplate text in the weekly discussion post basically being like "if these questions aren't any good, please ignore them and do what makes sense" lol.)
That situation with the past mistakes/opportunities, is it kind of like "if only I'd done X, my life would be so much better now"?
Appreciate the kindness 🙏
@QuietMagic
How have you been feeling lately?
still not feeling all that well but better then we was feeling. they think it our asthma acting up with the weather still bouncing. so nothing more can be done we have inhalers and meds too. so hoping weather start being more stable. this affects our mood a lot too. as more tired then normal. also up our pain we live in 24/7. so it very hard on us.
What's something you're doing to take care of yourself?
we mostly trying to rest more. but we also trying to put a daybed together for in living room. as tired of being in bedroom most the time. so that self care too. we been trying to get out on bus at least 2 times a week seeing we no longer have a home aid. as she was one that got us out of apartment. so going to be hard for us to just go out. but for mental health reason we need to get our few times week. we trying not to isolated like we did before we got home aid.
@stormieandpaws
Ugh, me shouting at the weather on your behalf:
That sounds really great what you mentioned of setting up the living room so that you're able to rest in there instead of being stuck in your bedroom all the time.
With getting out of the apartment, is it kind of like it's doable but involves some struggle because it's physically painful? (Understandable that you'd want to do it regardless, knowing that your mental health would suffer if you didn't.)
@QuietMagic
thanks the weather still up and down in temp but somewhat better then before too. looks like my home aid might be coming back too. were she was going to work they was not friendly with her needing time off for kids doctors appointments. so she trying to get back as home aid we will see what state caseworker say she messaged him so just waiting to see. but would be good to get her back as really need the help too.
am feeling better as far as not as sick as we was. but we going to see asthma doctor in few weeks. so that help as she talking about a justing or even changing meds. so another wait and see thing.
hope you having good start to week.
@stormieandpaws
Glad things are feeling a little better and that the asthma doctor might be able to help tweak things.
Having the home aid back sounds like it would help a lot--fingers crossed that that happens. 💜
@QuietMagic
thanks hope to know about home aid tomorrow, then if she can come back then hope it right away too
