Where is everyone ?

I know. Not many people here lately. How are you today? Me.. stayed a little longer at work today and got a migraine from all the stress. Hurts like hell, dizzy , and nausea. Sucks so bad. Anyways . I just took medicine and i'my going to try to sleep it away. Goodnight friend.

*Waves* I'm here .

Not to get off subject but, yesterday my husband had a panic attack. He was very frightened by it. He looked at me and told me that he had never felt this way before and he told me that he felt dizzy and lightheaded and that he felt as if he was going to pass out. So I told him to try to calm down because he was psyching himself out. So I helped him to the couch, elevated his feet aND he started to feel better. You know.. a person suffering from anxiety always says to themselves (if only the could get a taste of what we are going through ), but, it turns out... all I wanted to do was take care of him . Realistically... although we say we want them to k ow how it feels ... we really dont. I hated it for him.

He does. He's nicer to me now. Lol

Sorry, I've not been here, Carol, I've got the flu. It started Friday afternoon a real deep hacking cough. I went out and got a few litres of orange juice and that is all I've consumed. I feel really unwell. I cooked a chicken soup with fresh chicken and carrots and gave that to the dogs because I don't feel like eating. Yesterday I threw in a joint of pork in the oven and had a couple of slices of that but that is all I've eaten. I don't feel like eating. My insides feel red raw from coughing so much. Now I've started sneezing and that is hurting my insides too. I bet it is all inflamed with the pressure of coughing too much. I took to my bed with my orange juice and tissues! I've missed you all on here. I'm still feeling really rough but it'll pass. My pup Carly hasn't left me for a moment. What a cool dude he is to care for his human mummy!

I'm sorry for your hubby @Concernedgal and I hope he doesn't have anymore. Maybe it was meant to be so that he would be able to understand you. I'm so glad that he is nicer to you now. And I'm really glad that you have stayed together.

I am so sorry that you aren't feeling to good.One year I had bronchitis three times I think it never really went away.If I lived next to you I could come and take care of you.I think that is so beautiful how your dog is comforting you.Animals are so smart they know when there owners are not feeling well>Are you are medication for your cough?I do hope you feel better soon.Do your anxieties seem worse when u r sick? I got something to tell you the other day when it was raining I sat outside it wasnt a heavy rain so I didnt mind,the rain smelled so clean and I just love those rain drops touching me it was so relaxing To bad we couldn't bottle it,lol

Bless you Carol and thank you. Each day I'm feeling a little better. It would be lovely if you were here. I honestly haven't done any housework or anything I have felt so rough. No, not been on any meds for the cough, just orange juice. I drank 4 litres over the weekend and I've run out now! Apparently orange juice, or should I say, vitamin C, is supposed to kill off any type of cold or flu so I go down that route. I did take a naproxen though. The doctor gave me naproxen for the arthritis in my hip. It's an anti inflammatory so I thought it may help with how sore my insides feel.

I was getting a bit concerned as I wasn't eating properly and I get low blood sugar. I didn't get any low blood sugar dizziness though so I suppose the orange juice stopped that from happening. I think I've lost a couple of pounds in weight so I can't complain!

I don't know if my anxieties are worse when I'm sick. Last night I had a huge fight with my brother. He didn't give me any ounce of sympathy he just dismissed my cough, made fun and put me on a defensive so I came back him in Anglo Saxon language and he hung up on me. I won't repeat what was said on here! lol When he was sick I gave him sympathy and asked him how he was and that was wrong because he just swore at me and had a go at me. It is like walking on glass with him and I am fed up with it. Normally I would chase him and apologise whether I was in the wrong or not but now I don't seem to care.

It's only been raining at night time here, and I've been in bed anyway! I think rain is coming around lunchtime today so it will be nice to sit with the window open. I love the smell of the rain too.

I can't put enough of these laugh 'a' cons! You've really made me laugh!

Thanks for saying I'm a nice person. The truth is, that I'm not feeling anything emotionally about the bust up. I really don't get why. Normally I would be chasing him begging for forgiveness and apologising if I'm in the right or the wrong just to keep the relationship. I would burst into tears and it would consume me.

Instead, I'm feeling light hearted and happy despite my sore insides from coughing so much. I've not shed a tear and I've not written any apology to him at all. All that has happened is that when he has come to mind that I think about how difficult he is. Maybe I feel like a heavy black cloud has moved away from me. Or, maybe the Prozac is making me react this way?
