How do you force yourself to do 'stuff' when all you feel like doing is sitting?

Do you realise MissLLL what an achievement that was today? It doesn't sound like it. IT WAS A BIG ONE!!!! You actually overcame the fear. Give yourself a big pat on the back. . It's often surprising that when we do achieve what we thought was impossible we don't feel any real sense of achievement. Sometimes being 'normal' can seem strange because we are not used to it. Well done!!!!!.

Thank you Mr. Jonathan! I appreciate the kind and encouraging words, I really do but yes, it didn't feel like an achievement. I was having a self pity party last night, because I (still) miss the old times. I thought about listing here what I used to achieve (real achievements)...but meanwhile I've realized, this is the new state, and therefore it was an achievement.

I was having problems with posting on the forum yesterday and forgot all about updating!  Let's see....

I went to the gym and felt a little odd since I attended a class with a group I hadn't seen in almost 2 weeks.  A guy came up to me and said 'No wonder you wear pink so much'.  An older woman said 'I want to hug you but I don't want to hurt you'.  So now my head is going  like 'whaaa???'  Next, a guy that's very sweet and has a strong accent (can't figure out his nationality) said 'I'm glad you're back after having the operation for breast cancer'.  So I"m like............ 'Whaaa????'   I quickly told him 'not me' and ran to the other two as class was starting to say 'I had a bladder infection then saw a urologist.........' but they both just smiled like they didn't get what I was saying.  I have 5 people from my church in that class and I'd sent an explanation about why I was missing certain classes to the woman who is as chatty as me but she must have not felt she had permission to share.  Whatever..........  Gotta get that misinformation fixed and soon!

I did one class. My legs got tired during our 2nd cardio session but it was just from missing some classes. After the 'pink urine', I stopped going 3 hours a day down to 1 hour a day until I have all the tests. 

Rushed home and got ready for the funeral.  It was such an awesome funeral.  He was a war hero, a college sports hero, had 2 doctorates, a double engineering degree, had pastored 2 churches and had lived with his son and wife from the time they found out they were having a baby until his death.  The four children adored him and he worshiped them. Ellie Grace is in my Sunday School class and she led him around by the pinkie from the time she could take a step!  She looked so distraught yesterday. Her sweet face was swollen from crying so much. Every day he'd tell her 'You're the most beautiful little girl in the world!' and that's one of the last things he'd said before his stroke took his voice. 

After the funeral, we drove to a town next to us that has an Olive Garden and Tractor Supply.  I had their new dish which is a pasta with cheese, broccoli and pan seared chicken breast.  I never eat more than half a serving but I did eat all my salad.  Then we had a $10 off $50 purchase that was about to end so we got dog food to last a month.  The 4 Health is a 4.5 star food and the dogs like it.  It's mostly meat instead of fillers and water. 

I colored a mandala dog pattern and watched 'Last Man Standing'.  Jim fell asleep as soon as I turned the channel so I texted one of my OLD friends from Anxiety Zone who told me about this forum to check on his partner at work to see how his doctor's appointment went and doctor had scoped him and said 'no disease', just acid reflux so that was good. Got caught up on his horrible work schedule and family and then he had to get back to work and I was ready to fall asleep.

This full moon! My Border Collie went out 3 times between midnight and 6 a.m. Hubby took them out at 6 and I tried to go back to sleep but couldn't.  

It's only 55°  and overcast today so we didn't go for a walk.  In fact, I took a 2 hour nap!  Earlier I'd gotten a note saying because of the death of her father in law, our Big Group leader for Sunday School and their family were going to take about a week off and try to catch up on sleep, relax and visit with the other grandparents (this is the dil of the guy whose funeral I attended) so I will do the lesson tomorrow and needed some props and matching coloring sheets.  It's on the Prodigal Son so I know the lesson well and have taught so many times to children but you do have to remember to use terms that don't include 'wasted his money  on prostitutes' to a 6 and 7 year old.  All set tho. 

We're going to have turkey burgers for supper I think.  I have them ready for the grill but it's starting to rain.  Might end up on the large George Foreman Grill instead!

Great job, MissLLL!  I don't like going into a store alone unless I have a specific plan in mind.  Hubby could wander around a store all day like me in Hobby Lobby, but if I have to go to the grocery store or hardware store,  I like to get in and get out. You did really well!

Diane

Diane, I really enjoyed the description of your past two days! You are very good taking us through your day, it's such a joy to read this. The good, the bad and everything in between. You have a nice way with words! 

[MsLLL 413]

Hi all!

I was upset last night. I thought way too much about anxiety and how it has impacted my life. Even when I was frying the T-Bones I was thinking: Did I really tell Ms Diane I need to marinate them? Why would anyone marinate such a tender cut?  Today I can laugh about it, thankfully.  Yesterday seemed hard because it is still somewhat impossible for me to accept how anxiety has changed my life. But I will get there in time, hopefully. I do appreciate the praise from you guys for going to the gym and store, I'm not ungrateful, I just need time to process and I need time to accept it all. 

The dinner was really nice, I went to bed after watching a nice documentation about wildlife. I slept just fine (thankfully), but woke up a little sweaty. I didn't work out today, I don't want to overdo it, so I can better stick with it long term. I had to go back to the same store because I forgot to use a coupon for $15, only to find out the coupon was for something completely different So I got some more exposure! 

Today some of my relatives came by for a visit. It was a nice time, and we spend hours making homemade wontons. Which is a lot of work if you have ever made them from scratch. That's why we only do this once or twice a year. 

A close family friend of ours has to go to the hospital tomorrow. She had lost her husband at a young age to cancer and raised their two kids by herself.  She never wanted to meet a new man because he was the one for her and decided to stay by herself. Her husband and I share the same birthday (not the year. Our friend has survived breast cancer, an ileus and needed a stoma bag and additional surgery. She recuperated from that and moved on with life. A few years later more health problems and surgeries. Tomorrow, yet again, something new and surgery. She was already told the surgery will last at least 3 hours and afterwards she will be on ICU for a while. Since I'm not a relative I will ask her daughter when the time is right to go visit her.  She is very well liked in her community, always worked until recently when she retired, goes to aerobics and to church, meets with her friends and family. She went through so much already and just tries to live her life, not fair these health problems keep coming up! Her kids are distraught over this, her daughter just had a beautiful little baby-girl and our friend really enjoys being a Granny. I hope everything goes well tomorrow, a candle will be on at my house, and prayers will be spoken. 

You guys have a great day/night and Diane, the best of luck tomorrow for your appointment! We'll be thinking about you! 

[MsLLL 413]

Hi Diane, 

I cannot see your post from a little while ago on here but I just read it in my inbox. 

I know you are afraid about tomorrow, anyone would be! You will be fine somehow, and I pray you have nice staff around you to help you out! And you won't pee in your pants! It might be uncomfortable, I'm thinking it will be to hold all that liquid. If you would for some reason, the nurses are equipped to handle much worse things than a little wee wee

We'll be thinking of you!

It was a comedy of errors, but I made it and didn't wet my pants!  LOL

The doctor had not sent over the order for the Lasix so they started the IV and we waited until he could be reached, it sent to the Pharmacy and the tech went down and got it.  They had me arrive an hour early and it was 2 hours before test began! The tech said at one point 'It won't be a LOT longer, but I can see your bladder is full.  If it makes you feel any better, the pictures of the bladder and kidneys look great'.  

They put in the dye, took the photos of my liver, etc. and then I had to wait 2 minutes until the dye got to the bladder for the final set of pictures. The tech came running out and said 'I'm going to disconnect your IV and you can run to the bathroom and then we'll finish removing the needle'.  Whew........  I promise you, if someone had been in that bathroom, their floor would have needed mopping! LOLOL 

Holding my pee for so long was the only icky part. I'm super used to MRI's and all the noise.  Someone told me before my first one to close my eyes as soon as I'm on the table and to never open them until I'm back out of the machine and you won't realize how tight the space is.  

Well, I take the remark as good news on the bladder and other water works.  Praying the liver is still free of cancer and then 2 more tests between now and the 28th. 

My exercise today will be running to pee. The RN said it'll last all day. 

The Tech played this song four times for me: 

 

[MsLLL 413]

Wonderful news all around, Diane! You sound like such a trooper going through all these tests with your head held high! I'm glad no one had to get the mop and you've made it through just fine. I will keep your advice in mind if I ever need an MRI. 

(Waiting for our friend getting out of surgery, candle was on all day and prayers were said. Mowed the lawn and did some yard work to get everything ready for spring. No gym today, maybe some light exercise later.)

Let's hope all your test results will be great news, so glad to hear the tech was so helpful in pointing out what looks good and unhooking the IV for that much needed relief.

The past two days:

I spent too much time on AC and not enough working out,  but it's all good though:-) I'm way behind with chores, my house, well...... needs to be cleaned asap! And I will as soon as I sign off. Yesterday I had lunch with a friend which was so much fun. Today I met a friend for coffee/water during her lunch break. Last night someone cooked dinner for me which was delicious. I went to the garden store and got soil and seeds to start the process of getting things going in the yard. My bed is not made yet , Diane you are better looking at me, I will make it. My appetite has increased which is good because I had trouble eating a while back. I think I'm more hungry because of the meds working and the physical activity. But last night I was eating way too much candy (PMS I'm looking at you!). lol. The sun is out and I enjoy being outside. What else? I got a beautiful card in the mail yesterday, from a dear friend, it was beautifully decorated with butterflies and 6(!) forever stamps...hmmm. someone was trying to make sure I would get it. Today a got a package in the mail for my birthday. My b-day was months ago but the package got delayed somehow. So tonight after all chores are completed I get to celebrate a little bit again;-) I'm contemplating getting an animal but not sure yet. I miss having a dog. But once I'm better I would like to travel again so gotta make sure it's fair to take on a dog (but I do have great people around me who would take care of a dog). Sorry this is so lumped together but I wrote this in a hurry. 

Signing off, gotta start my Bolognese sauce in the crockpot for supper later on tonight. Gotta stop eating candy! Gotta straighten up. What are you guys up to?! Will sign in later to check on y'all

Blessings to all of you! 

[Ihadcancer 321]

My husband was asked to tape the school concert tonight so he had to take my car to carry all his equipment.  He left me his truck, which I really cannot drive. I'm fine with a stick shift but it is old and doesn't have power steering or power brakes, so no gym for me. I did PM a couple of people looking for a ride, but one is out of state at a funeral and another in Oregon on vacation.  The rest don't live near me, tho I'm only 3 miles to the gym.  

Boy does my house need dusting!  The wind has been so strong that I could feel it around our windows and everything is starting to get pollen coated.  This is a hard time of the year to try and keep things dusted! Even my leather sofa and love seat had a yellow dust on them this morning!  

My old cat got sick on my bedspread so I had to wash that right away today.  It's going in the dryer and then I have 3 baskets of clothes to fold and put away.  I made the bed except for the bedspread, tho.  

Our youngest son will be home from work early today and tomorrow.  He's on the early morning shift this week so leaving by around 4:00 a.m.  He goes to bed early, tho and Jim won't be home until probably 10 or so.  The concert is from 7 to 8:30, then take down the microphones and speakers, pack up the car, drive home a whole hour!  

I'll try to find something else to do.  I was awake at 5:30 because hubby gets up and cranks up the heat and I can't sleep in a hot house!  I got up and got water and turned the heat down and the ceiling fan on.  Jim's clock went off and since he'd seen me up, he turned on all the lights and woke the dogs.........   I did try to go back to sleep. It makes for a long day when I'm up too early and alone. 

Glad you had an awesome day MissLLL!  It really helps me having an accountability partner!

This is another great thread, ladies. Really got me thinking about how much time I waste, and how much I've wasted over the years. I'm trying not to ruminate about it tho, cuz that's just more wasted time. Making an effort to not waste anymore, and that includes hibernating when my anxiety gets to me. It wants to get me today, in the form of worrying about my digestive system, particularly what's gonna come out of me next. How ridiculous is that, anyway? Ugh.

Hi Pinky! I don't think that's ridiculous at all! And I'm sorry you feel to have wasted time....I never knew what anxiety actually is (in theory I did), and what power it can have over us --up until almost two years ago and I now understand anxiety can cause some of us to hibernate! My old me would have told a friend in the past; Sorry, you are going through this but let's go have a short walk or something like that. The new me (experienced with the anxiety now) would never suggest that. I think it's okay to hibernate if the disease makes us to do that (but also get help if it gets too bad). And it's okay to be upset- you have a disease that likes to put the brakes on life!  At least that's how I feel And it's so tough to claim life back, an inch- by- inch kind of thing. But please don't misunderstand me, I applaud your effort and yes, that's how we have to deal with it! I hope your DS will be ok!

I'm glad we hold each other accountable! And I'm not sure about awesome but I have tried my best;-) Boy, I couldn't help to draw this analogy when I cleaned up: How quickly my place fell to shambles for not doing things in the past two days...and how quickly that can happen to someones mind...The chaos and disorganization. I'm exaggerating, my house was not thaaaaat bad I needed to organize and clean though, and I did.  Now I'm eating a wheat roll with raw spinach leaves and tuna salad, dreaming about chocolate!

What did you do in the past two days @ Pinky? Join in and tell us if you feel like it. 

Diane inspired me to buy pen's to finally start on a coloring book I had for quite some time.  She makes her coloring sound so interesting, I want to see how I like it.

Well, actually, MLLL, I've had to stay indoors because of all the snow, so that kind of makes me feel down, I always go out for a while, even if it's for a half hour, so I've been stuck inside and I think I'm a little bored. I do my "must-do's", I shower, all that stuff, but it's been a real effort to do more; that's when the health stuff start, I.e., my side hurts, what's that? That mole looks funny. My stomach isn't right, my bowels don't seem right. Why does the roof of my mouth hurt. Honestly, it's exhausting. I have lots of things to do, I sew a lot, I color, I paint, but sometimes I'd just rather think about a mole or my bowels, or the fact that one side of the roof of my mouth looks different than the other, what's that I say. Then I get angry at myself and push myself as hard as I can to get my mind off of it. That's my cycle. I don't talk about it much, I think it scares my husband, lol. Thank you for "listening" as I vent. 

[Ihadcancer 321]

The concert got cancelled and rescheduled for next Thursday night so my husband will be home in about an hour.  I still haven't folded the clothes but I got all the clothes washed, including the throw on the sofa the dogs sleep on.  I dust mopped all but one room and vacuumed all but the one room.  I have one dog that really sheds!  I'm not sure why she'd shedding so badly right now except we had several hot days and they played hard outside for a while and I haven't brushed her since.  I have to brush her on our deck or her hair flies all over the house! The smaller dog has hair like silk and I can brush her inside.  She has long beautiful hair and doesn't seem to shed at all!

Anyhow, I don't have anything special planned for supper because Jim was not going to be home.  I do have some turkey burgers and sausage.  I'd frozen some pulled pork that's already cooked and in the sauce so could easily have that, too.  I'll let him choose which he wants.  

Currently I'm working on a dog  picture that is a mandala (patterns within patterns) and it's hard to choose what I want to go where but it's mind numbing.  When I get bored, I switch to a picture with a scene.  I just finished one with huge sunflowers next to a garden full of tomatoes and snap peas with a farm house in the background.  That one was soothing and fun to color.  I wanted to go live in that house and sit on that porch and pick those vegetables for supper.

[MsLLL 413]

You must be on the east coast, that blizzard moving through. You do a lot of things! sew, color, paint, outdoors, wow. And I hear you on the exhaustion, just physical symptoms alone are so hard to deal with! How can we not be exhausted?!  I'd like to listen to you anytime you need to vent or share! And good you are not alone, and have a husband, even if he gets scared sometimes I don't have one. 

[MsLLL 413]

I'm happy you get to spend time with your hubby, Diane. Enjoy dinner. Your picture sounds great too! 

I opened my delayed package and it had a beautiful card and the softest king sized blanket inside in a wonderful mint color. I will wash that and put it on my bed. And will call my friend in the States when she gets off work to say thanks. 

[JOYCICLE 654]

This thread is for rock stars!!!!!!!!!!!!  You all are amazing. Look at you just doing and doing and doing all the stuff you didn't want to do. You should be very, very proud of yourselves. I love the way you are encouraging each other and keeping an eye on each other  

Good work!!!

[Ihadcancer 321]

It's certainly a blessing for me!  This thread really inspires me!  Holds me accountable!

The dogs woke at 2 wanting to go out and my husband was watching baseball in bed with the sound off.  I walked them and he assumed I was awake enough to chat. WRONG!  I put them back to bed and it took an hour to get back to sleep but I finally did and slept until the dogs woke me at 8:00.  Even before I let them out, I made my bed and fed the cat.  Then let them out, got their food ready, made coffee and oatmeal and took my vitamins.  

Last night when my husband got home, he had around 30 student uniforms for Track and Field to match up according to chosen sizes plus coaches shirts.  I helped him match them and put them in zip lock bags with the student's name on the outside so he can quickly hand them out before they load the bus for an away track meet this afternoon.  He'll be home late tonight and our son left at 4:00 a.m. and works until 2:00 today. 

Today I want to clean the floor I ignored yesterday.  Dustmop, vacuum and wet mop.  I have a vacuum that won't fit under my bed so that's why the dustmop and vacuuming in the rooms, plus it's wood and the clay/ sand can work its way down into those little seams.  

If I can force myself to start a list of what I've done and how long it took to do each chore during the day, I find I accomplish much more than usual.  One chore I need to do is climb up and dust the top of my fridge.  It's an odd shaped fridge built to be more narrow and deep to fit in between and under cupboards.  Even with a ladder, I can't reach one area, so I keep putting it off thinking I'll get someone else in my family to help me out when they're home so it hasn't been done in months.  What I NEED to do is what I used to do.  Buy a towel the color of the fridge (black) and cover the top so I can just pull it off and throw it in the washer and then put it back on.  I did that with my fridge that died last year and it made life much easier.  Maybe I'll go to Wal-mart and buy a black towel today.   

Gym tomorrow and I'll spend time choosing what I want to wear.  Gotta have something green!  

[JOYCICLE 654]

Oh the top of the fridge. I have a 'shelf' across the top of all the upper cabinets that we have glassware on........ .................................

Nightmare and rarely gets dusted. I just prefer to not think about it. 

[MsLLL 413]

Hi guys, it's in the early afternoon here so I'll give a quick up-date. I guess we had some of the same ideas today, Diane! I too cleaned the top of my fridge and I love the idea with the towel, never crossed my mind! 

I didn't get to wash my new blanket last night, I was too beat. So I did it today and it's ready to be put on. It will replace my heavier winter comforter. This morning I woke up, very sweaty again. Although my MD (whom I trust) said it's from the medication and not the anxiety I'm thinking it's anxiety, since I like to write everything off in my life to anxiety I had to promise him not to look up my medication or read the instruction label (for good reason, he knows me!) I was thinking I gotta stop some of the habits I've developed in the past two years. I go to sleep every night with a hot water bottle, no surprise I break out in sweat! I don't know how to break myself from that habit, it's kind of like a kid using a pacifier or a security blanket. But I have gotten better! I used to stick the hwb in the back of my pants and would walk around like that all day! People who came to see me asked if my back was hurting, no it's not( but I'm hurting somewhere else...). I even carried it in the car many times, now I just use it at night. BTW, I gave that hot water bottle to my beloved Grandpa when he got sick a long time ago. So I guess that's the link. 

Our family friend had the surgery, it was 2 hrs instead of the 3. She is already off ICU. She has a PCA and she suffers from constant nausea. I wish they would administer something for the nausea but so very happy the surgery went well.

My friend had a baby- girl yesterday morning, She was 8 weeks early but everybody is fine! She is small but will catch up over time. 

A friend was here during lunch break and I made a big pot of coffee, she loves coffee. Now I drank too much coffee and feel a little wired... Looking at other coffee lovers (Gilly:))

My bolognese sauce did not turn out last night, I took too many short-cuts and expected it would taste the same. 

I mailed a birthday card to my Uncle and shipped some boxes I needed to ship out.  Did remember to put sunscreen on while doing stuff in the yard since I'm fair skinned and burn easily. 

I cleaned all the cup-boards and gadgets in my kitchen today. It was not that much work. My friend who has GAD/PD told me cleaning keeps her mind off things and it's pretty much the only time she doesn't think. For me it seems to be other way around! When I do physical labor it seems I think way more about anxiety! Thoughts anyone? 

Now I'm going to the store to buy water, fruits and veggies. And maybe some chocolate...lol I still need to clean my car, go through some paperwork and stuff like that. But not today! Tomorrow I have an early appointment I'm dreading. 

Oh, and a member here on AC is pm'ing me, it's fun to discuss certain things. I'm enjoying that. And another friend invited me to Sunday Service at her Baptist Church. I'm not Baptist by denomination but have always enjoyed their sermons in the past, so I'm curious how Sunday will be. And my friend will handle the toddler room so I'm on my own and I don't know anyone there (besides a family in my neighborhood). 

Have a blessed day, as in Joy's words: You Rockstars!!!!!

Oh the top of the fridge. I have a 'shelf' across the top of all the upper cabinets that we have glassware on........ .................................

Nightmare and rarely gets dusted. I just prefer to not think about it. 

Joy- I like that approach! Can you teach me?!

Stay on the internet as much as you can and housework becomes an afterthought
