I feel like crap today physically and mentally. I am in alot of pain with my back and my neck I cant even turn my head either way. I feel so off today for some reason. I feel like disconnected I guess you could say. I feel like im in a fog and not with it. All I want to do is lay down and sleep or rest. grrr when am I going to feel good again? Who the hec know,I don't.

I'd be using some pain killers for sure. Say what you will, no pain is a good start on feeling better.

I'm going to be Grandad Sniffbat.
You will feel better kid, that's what we go through. Ups downs even sideways. But you know, you do know. Soon you will feel better. Think about a good time you had, a happy thing that happened recently, try and find a happy thought (sorry about the Peter Pan reference).
You can do it kid, I have faith in you, we all have faith in you. You are a unique person, pain can be handled with pain killers. You have to handle you, you can. Beleive in you.

Poor Kitty uv been down for quite awhile. I too would kill the physical pain so u can handle the emotional pain. U have to try to keep remembering tht it is not always this bad. Just like whn we r really hi and hypomanic/manic its not always tht way either Kitty. Its bp remember Hun, its all about the dang blang it changes. Ur up will come babe it will just believe and wait for it. Never give up. We r here for u.

Have you taken your meds today as your supposed to? Other than that that, have you tried soaking in a very hot tub, or lieing in bed with heating pads on? Advil probably would do you some good as well.

Sweet kittycat, I wish I could say how pull it together when you are feeling bad as you do. I know I have been there and am about a 1/3 of the way there right now.

Soaking in a few cups of epsom salts and a few tea bags of chamomile and or peppermint in a nice hot tub is a good fixer upper for me....or ice packs, Tylenol or Advil gel caps....or just committing myself to bed for a day and getting much needed rest...sometimes the fog and pain lift.

Take care. I hope you feel better soon. I hope you are purring with contentment soon.

I hope start feeling better. Maybe take a hot bath with some aromatherapy stuff in it if u have anything like that. Painkillers would be good to relieve some of the pain. I'm thinking about u and I hope your day and week r better.

Warm shower with the water on your neck and back. Just stand there. I used to have my husband beat on my neck and back(it was the only thing that relieved the pain) but since I'm divorced I have to use the shower.

Also Icy Hot really helps me.

BC powder.

Feel better :)
