You're trying to find ways to help yourself...picking flowers and veggies...staying off the internet. That's a good sign. Keep it going!Post edited by OffSheGoes35 on0

Yes I have to say staying off the internet may help ( always feel free to post here ) I disable my phone at this point from Social Media and news during the day. Its so easy to catch a headline and then go down a rabbit hole of doom scrolling.
I know we always say baby steps but you got this , so much love for you out there Rob.

I know it's not this easy. I'm having a fucking panic attack as I type this LOL, but once you rationally realize that you've been convinced of the worst for so long, if it were true, you'd be dead already, you might be able to start living again.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

could you consider going outside into the garden, with (bare) feet touching the ground / earth and maybe fingers in the soil? ( if appropriate weather/natural light of day ) even if only 10-15 minutes? Thinking of & hoping for you. Hoping everyone who needs relief from "...thoughts he(they) can't help thinkin' ... ", receives what they need0

I find this to be very on point. I would never say I know what you are going thru Rob. I have had heavy depression and anxiety pretty much from my teen years until today.I too would not even be able to count the 100's of times I think I am dying and there is no going back. Panic is the worst thing , those who don't understand typical make it worse with blanket statements of just take a deep breath.
It is true thought that I will sometimes realize all the times I thing I am dying since I was 15 and I am almost 43 that it has never happened. Although when in the midist (sp) of a panic attack good luck convincing yourself that.
I know we have spoken about meds before , do you take anything for anxiety ? I take 1mg of Clonazepam before I leave for work in the morning and that does help.
If I get home and feel like I am going to climb up a wall with anxiety , I will take 2mg of it when I get home and do yoga for 30 mins by time yoga or a long walk is over between the medication and exercise my breathing levels come down , heart rate drops , just a sort of calm that takes over.
This may not work for you but please reach out if you need to talk.

It doesn't sound pathetic, it sounds Difficult. It sounds like you would have to go against your nature, your instincts, and that would be hard for anyone.
Wouldn't it be nice to take a vacation from our illnesses? I have uncontrolled diabetes that I'm working to control right now...but I would give just about anything to have a break from the worry and the doctors.

I would love that too. So much. I feel for you. Illness is so difficult,you end up yearning for the past. For the day you were really alive and free and knowing its never coming back.
The diabetes- do you eat a carb free diet. I dont have diabetes but i had inflammation issues and cut carbs and ate one meal a day . I cut 3 stone in under a year and helped. I know you probably know all of that though.

If I can just stay the course and go at the pace my doctor has set so far, I can get better. Feel better.
I feel for you too. And I wish I could grant you a vacation from memories and worry. Has there ever been a period, since your illness began, in which you felt like it was something you could work with?

Illness for sure plays a part. The fun procedures themselves, along with waiting for results. The worry. The ever-present symptoms. And knowing nothing will really change; just keep it from getting worse.
In a way we all do that — ride the waves, falter sometimes, keep your head above water, sink a bit, and rise again. Always rise again.
Life ain’t easy, that’s for sure. It’s also what makes us who we are. Navigating those obstacles whether grand or inconsequential…it’s a part of us.
Hang in there, Rob. You’ve done it, you CAN do it. Remember to breathe.0
