Nervous

Hi 


​I am kinda nervous about this blood test. It has been a long journey and I am hoping to walk away in known what is going on with me. Most of my doctor's are puzzle and overwhelmed by my health and to have an answer would be so amazing. I have heard that my health is poor to severity's and length of trauma I endure for the first 29 plus of my life. But in 2019 one doctor said yes but something else is going on. To know would mean a lot to me. It is my body and I feel things that I can or could not explain. Anyways have a great day 


 


I am trying to stay focus but I think after bloood test I wait for two weeks at least that what the doctor says. It will be a very long two weeks

Anticipation anxiety gets my vote as the worst flavor of anxiety on the anxiety smorgasbord. Whether I am anticipating an individual's reaction to saying howdy, awaiting the results of an institutionalized process or waiting to see what the maskites will do next, the waiting is a booger bear.

Gentle support while you wait it out, Rose. Breathing with you. . .

I get it, rose, I go through lots of blood tests for my diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Arfie right as far as how I experience it, though, the before is harder than when the blood test happens. Sending you support, too!

Hi Guys
Thanks for support. Blood test was more scary because of person taken blood. BUT it is all over and now 2 weeks of waiting. It would be good to know what is going on with my system,

Today is a very difficult day for me more than normal BUT I am here and still smiling and has a lot to be thankful for. I have hope that one day I will look back and thank God for the storms etc

Glad you got the blood drawing part over with, rose.  Let us know what the test says, if you'd like to.  Sorry today's difficult; sending you some daily strength for it. Yeah, some day we'll look back on all of this as growing pains, I guess, but for now it's good to have each other for getting through it all.

I guess Muji , yea you are right. Just had one of those days at the Doctor where at first PT was the answer but now after three X-Ray and a MRI the news isn't good. I have one more test but is trying to avoid it because I am afraid of needles.

I wish I could teach parents what the long term effects when they abused a child. I am praying that I don't have to do surgery at all. But I hope not. I am sad not because of news but because I am recognizing and living the effects of abused on my body and that makes me sad.

    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!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
