hello human brothers and sisters. i used to be on the hep-c group. but now i am. cured of that. but stress and anxiety still shroud me.
short bio. small kid picked on in school. did very well 'in class till head injury at 9yrs. old. after that i was still picked on but now, my attention span and concentration waned. so the nuns just said, you are lazy, you don't apply yoursself. you won't amount to anything.
and the bullying gor worse through middle and high school. and when i would say something about my problems all i got was "deal with it"
that seemed to last forever. the came vietnam. well i survived being a medic with the marine corps and came home to. protests. skip to 1976 2 partial finger amputations from a saw mill accident. oh, i forgot to mention what a klutz am i am always dropping thing, spilling things, breaking things. but i taught myself to learn things. which was i bit easier without the (peer) pressure. 1978 working in a hospital drug rehab ward. some violent patients. gor bit spit on scratched, punched, stabbed, and needle pricked. so then in 1999 i was diagnosed hepatitis-c. wnent though 3 differnt tratments-no cure. then came the harvoni pill and i am cured, but stage 4n liver cirrhosis. stresssss.
dr.Rxed me anti depressant for anxiety. 1st 1/2 pill pulse up to 112 in 20 min. loudest ear ringing i've ever had. plus the muscle relaxers i got said not for impaired liver may cause failure. so i had to go back and tell her. SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!!! she's my dr. for cryin out loud. so i have no alliviation of stress only fear that the drs. might kill me. plus 4 misdiagnosis of jaw pain and swelling. oh, you have a saliva stone.(real thing). then you have a sinus infec. then you have a vurus. then my dentist says you have tmj. he made me a simple bite gaurd to wear at night. in 2 days pain and swelling gone. this was a 3 montn oreal for me. should have known drs.= drug pushers.

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
Glad you found a dentist who could help! Relief of pain in jaw is a life changing thing.
You are not alone, and best wishes!
TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN. so stay as positive as you can.
I may have some stress issues but the bus hasn't run over me yet.
