mocha please! wrote: »Highlight of today - I finally got my own room!!!! After being in here since Sunday. It feels so much better to actually have my own little bit of space and stability. I've packed my stuff away and am just enjoying settling in.
I still have nurses and doctors poking their heads around the door every now and then but at least they knock now instead of just swishing in through the curtains!
I had an interesting dream the night I was admitted here. I was at the train station, and an old woman in front of me in a shawl was trying to get through the ticket barriers to get to the platform, but couldn't. I was getting impatient so offered to help her. She was crying, and asked me was she at the right place to get to some local village, I told her it was about a mile's walk away. She expected me to help her get there, she didn't even ask me, just told me to. I reluctantly did. As we were walking along, I was walking quite fast and she kept falling behind and I had to keep going back and grabbing her arm or holding her hand. Eventually we arrived at the address she had wanted to get to. She went up to the doorway of the house, and someone opened it. It was my partner, there with my baby. And the old lady took off her shawl and she wasn't an old lady, she was me - a young, happy, healthy looking smiley me. The way I used to be, the way I should be. And all three of them smiled and waved at me.
If I were one to read into dreams, I would choose to take from that that it's going to be a long, stressful, difficult journey, but that I'm the only one who can do it, and that hopefully there'll be a happy ending to it.
Deeply introspective!
What a lovely dream MP. A sigh of things to come I'm sure.
Great to hear that you got the room too. You can't beat having some privacy and personal space.0 -

Wow what a dream to have. I bet you woke up feeling a lot better. I sometimes have dreams along those lines where they feel very real but not often.0 -

How's our MG there?
Spent most the day in the hospital, had to have an endoscopy on my stomach and was fully sedated for it. Everything came up clear anyway. But all im fit for is the couch.
I know what you mean. In my last job feeling like walking out was a regular occurence.0 -

Glad to hear that it cam up clear man! One less thing to worry about so!
I had to get a colonoscopy and endoscopy done a few years back. Didn't get much sedation at all though. Needless to say I struggled a bit. LOL
Any plans for the weekend there?0 -

My life isn't worth living. All of my friends are moving away and getting jobs and I'm just stuck here in limbo. I'm ****ing useless.
Hope the rest of yous are having a more pleasant weekend.
Sorry to hear your feeling that way EI. I suppose one of the things therapists do say is not to compare yourself to others which i know is hard. I compare myself to my siblings all the time and i end up feeling like the black sheep. But we all have our own paths too take in life and your friends arent dealing with the same stuff your dealing with.0 -

Sorry to hear you're feeling like that I'm in the same situation, majority of my friends are in different countries or counties with great jobs or college courses and I'm stuck here lacking the energy to even try find more work! It's hard not to compare ourselves to others, it leads to more frustration.
I had to stop taking my meds after only three days. Side effects just got to be too much, the panic attacks were way worse on them than they were before I started. I think I'll wait till all this dizziness passes then go back to the doctor and maybe get started on a lower dose. Reading the data sheet it says to start on 10mg and build up to 20, he started me straight on 20!0 -

Hang on in there EI.
A lot of us are in similar situations. It can indeed be mighty sucky unfortunately.
How does one make new friends?0 -
