SallyB392 On this thread, we all have depression, anxiety, low moods.
Is it just this particular virus that scares you, or do you worry about your husband in general? To put it into perspective, think of all the millions of people who are going about their usual daily lives - police, hospital workers, teachers, army, carers, shop workers, etc., etc. I live in Nottingham, and in NottinghamSHIRE, a few people have been tested positive for Coronavirus, and a couple of people have died.....but that is out of 882,000 people. Although the virus is serious and is spreading throughout the world, the chances of you or your husband or someone you know getting it are SMALL.
in the last 24 hours, I have witnessed such appalling rudeness, spite, disrespect and childish behaviour on this Forum that I am so pleased to finally post on a thread where there are gentle people who have something to say and who know how to behave towards others. So, take a bow everyone?
. There seems to be quite a feeling of sadness and worry around this evening. If I scroll back through the names to get everything correct, I will lose my post. I know, this cos I've just tried it. So, in no particular order to everyone, can I just wish you all a better time very soon? Doodle you have Tinnitus? You poor thing, I know what that's like, I've had the problem for years and sometimes....well....you know how it is! Joce, as someone said (I think) you mustn't be too worried about how you are feeling post holiday. Everyone big or small gets the big come-down after a nice holiday and it sounded as if you had a really great time. All the effort you put in to controlling anxiety and worry about it all, beforehand, and the travel and the excitement and then coming back home. I should think you're feeling pretty tired, so take extra care of yourself - you'll get back on an even keel quicker. Nonnie - hope you take some comfort from the advice from all those who know you on here. You sound such a caring soul, why not make up your mind to let other people care for you. Opening up, a tiny bit at a time, to people who are willing to help and support you, leaning on others for a change in your bad times will enable you to feel you're not so alone with your problems. Be brave, go to your meeting and you may be so pleased you did. Lavenderzen Being awake in the small hours, trying to cope when it's always worse in the dark and feeling anxious or in pain, is the pits, isn't it. You sound as if you deal with it so sensibly. Getting out of bed and moving about, some tea and toast, your book, a painkiller, lamp on, breathing calmly and concentrating only on "good' thoughts - distraction is essential then. Sometimes if my mind is racing, I make a list or write down how I feel. Always have paper and pen by my bed just in case I fail to remember in the morning the "cunning plan" which comes to me in the middle of the night. Sometimes I just want to step outside and b.r.e.a.t.h.e. I've sat in the garden in warm weather and watched the starts and sniffed my night-scented stocks and listened to our little shouting frogs! A Youtube video to make me laugh - old Morecambe & Wise, Tony Hancock, Fawlty Towers can distract me enough for sleep too. Rafichagran - oh, know what you feel about Sunday nights. I used to get so wound up whilst just watching the clock moving ever forwards towards another Monday and too much work - and stress. Hope your Sciatica is improving/on the wane. I assume you have anti-inflammatories? They will too often affect your digestion, especially with regular doses. Hope you NEVER take them on an empty tum! Get better soon, eh? Flutterby. Endoscopy? No wonder you are anxious. But what is it they say about not worrying until you need to? I know - I wish too that I could take my own advice. Seriously, if your Doc is going down the path of trying various medication or ways of treating you and an endoscopy is going to be necessary eventually, try not to think about it until "eventually" arrives. Then, when she says you need one, explain in strong terms (if necessary, take a friend with you) that you understand the procedure but cannot under any circumstances go for this unless you have a general anaesthetic. That used to be not considered necessary when I lived in the UK., though maybe things have changed. It doesn't hurt, but for some people it's just too too much to cope with. (In France, where every patient demands their money' worth, everyone has a general! ) Whatever happens you need to think about it when you're told that the procedure is necessary, not before, or you'll be a nervous wreck. SalsaQ. I never commented on your new hairstyle. Do hope you are thrilled with it and it makes you feel younger, more energised and more glamorous? A lot to ask from a box of hair colour, but you never know! 
. Lastly, the lovely Annie. How do you do it? How do you respond so firmly but with such dignity - and humour - to some of the nonsense that is posted on other threads? People tying themselves into knots, but they just won't stop, will they? Well done you, making a stand for maturity, intellect and plain old common sense. Hope your summer plans for some new clothes are still on the drawing board, so that you'll be ready to roll with David when your legs start behaving again. What is the current state of play with Physio? Hopefully, Her With the Overheating and Overcoat will not be darkening your doors for the longest of times. Even the NHS must have a Physio better than that. We shall all wait with bated breath. OK., I've caught up. So sorry if I've forgotten anyone and apologies if you've toppled off your chairs and are loudly snoring at the tedium of this endless ramble. Sleep well everyone and maybe have a much better Tuesday? Big elbow bumps and pretend hugs and little waves from the South of France - given that kisses and handshakes are now forbidden. Nighty night x
