feel better

I will mark this as done for now. I feel better. I was really going through a hellish time for a while there, starting around my birthday. I just felt off and very anxious. A sense of pending doom. I do not have that over all feeling any more. I am more comfortable living in this part of LA even though it’s much more congested than what I am used to. I am going to mark this as done and I hope that I just start feeling better and better, I am off to a good start. Thanks for the cheers!

A friend of mine who also works with EFT stopped by my work last night. He showed me the whole sequence to do when I am feeling stressed/anxious etc. I now have a more complete system. It was so great to see him and he was like a big sweet teddy bear. Anyway, I will use this to help me when I am feeling anxious.

The other part is that my digestion has been off. It seems like the moment it gets better I eat something that throws it off again. Also, late night eating. I really need to stop eating late night meals. What happens is I wake up in the morning and feel nausea. Last night I just had soup and I think I may be feeling better today than I did yesterday. I am also going to try to take more digestive enzymes, acidophilis and drink the herbs my Doctor told me to drink with meals. Slowly but surely I will chip away at this and feel totally better again!

I have been avoiding caffeine and alcohol for a while because I don’t want to give my system any reason to get anxious. I am going to take a few supplements I have researched that could help the PMS aspects of my anxiety. The next thing I could try to minimize is sugar.

This morning I am going to try a hot water bottle on my stomach (digestion still off). So far it feels good. I have been trying to eat ‘simply’ to get over this stomach thing but it’s not always easy. Today I am going to try to stick to my chicken and rice soup (homemade yumyum!) and tea (hot toddies at work-ginger-lemon-honey). Hopefully whatever bug is in my stomach will leave!!

Still feeling a little anxious on and off. Doing EFT. It helps. Strangely I feel more anxious when I am full. This doesn’t make sense to me.

Felt anxious in the a.m. and did the EFT stuff. Made it to work okay, still feeling a little under the weather. Work was a great place to be, lots of caring people and people with good suggestions. One friend told me that this sickness thing was a wake up call to me to start yoga again (that would help my digestion and anxiety). She said that I don’t want to enter into middle age without exercising regularly. She explained what happens to her when she misses even a little bit. Anyway, I got the message.

Had one bowl of soup and lots of tea today. More food tomorrow?

Woke up anxious and did the EFT tapping and affirmation at least 3 times. Feeling some shift with the nausea. I have hope!
I will need to let work know in a few hours if I am going in or not. Looks like I can.
:)

Well, this will be the first day of work I have missed (in years actually). I woke up feeling nauseated again. I am sticking with the ginger tea. Haven’t had much food in days. I made myself about 4 tablespoons of rice that I might try to eat slowly. Today will be my first day all alone in the new apartment! 12 hours or so! Wow.

Well, today started with waking up early (6am) feeling horrible until 11 or so. Then I started feeling better, like more human again, more like myself, I could smile! I had a friend deliver some B-6 for the nausea and some ginger brew. I got some advice from friends. I stayed feeling okay, not great until a few hours ago when the anxiety came back. Then I fell asleep, now I am up and in limbo. I need to clear any issues that are causing lingering anxiety. And tend to my stomach by drinking this ginger water.
I can’t wait to get back to normal! I may have to call in sick to work tomorrow, I already gave them a heads up.

P.S. I just talked to my boyfriend about something I have been really worried about. It turns out that it’s not a big issue right now and my current fears were not justified. He listened to me completely and told me that all that matters is that I feel better right now. I feel sad but so much better!

Still feeling more or less the same. Contacted a few people who may be able to offer me some helpful ideas to start feeling better. For now it’s just going to be climbing back in bed, drinking tea, breathing and ….waiting.
Maybe I will try to get outside later. That is always good.

I have been feeling pretty bad. I had a major bout with anxiety Sunday afternoon. Since then I have been going back and forth between anxiety and just plain old nausea. I am not sure what is going on with my body. I had a treatment w/ an alternative therapist (EFT) and feel somewhat better in the area of anxiety. He encouraged me to try to reconnect w/ God or source. I have been trying to do that in my own way. Also trying to treat the nausea with ginger tea, massage, and a hot water bottle. I still feel sick. I just want to feel better again. Back to my comfortable self.
