Not feeling great. Feel sick and keep getting dizzy.
There is always something lately!

Sorry to hear that you are feeling poorly Hush, sounds as though it could be stress and/or anxiety. Try to get some some rest, and hopefully you will feel better soon.
Don't hesitate to contact your GP if you don't improve though.

Hushabyemountain98 · 12/04/2016 16:56

Thank you Allalone.
I am feeling a little less sick but still dizzy.
I will go to my GP if it continues.
I checked my BP incase it is low but it is normal.

I hope you are keeping okay?

Evening my friends. How is everyone doing?

Hush - are you feeling any better?

I had another session with my PT this afternoon - it's brutal. However, I just get out and eat like a pig so I probably undo any good work immediately!

Hushabyemountain98 · 12/04/2016 20:49

I hope you are okay WTAFF.
I am still feeling a bit strange less sick but still dizzy.
Not sure that is the idea WTAFF. Is it worth going through all that pain and then eating loads?
Good luck with it!
I hope you are having a good evening?xx

I'm off to bed shortly as I'm really tired.

I am losing weight but slowly - I like my food too much.

Glad you're feeling a bit better - I'm not a dr but stress can do awful things to your body and mind.

Take care.mxx

PiscoSour66 · 12/04/2016 21:22

Evening all. Please take it easy Hush, everything can wait.
If you lose the weight slowly WTAFF it's more likely to stay off. But you'll get quite fit with your PT and that's just as important. Keep going WTAFF!

Hushabyemountain98 · 12/04/2016 21:24

Hi WTAFF.
i hope you have a good nights sleep.
Losing weight slowly is the way to do it.
If it comes off too quickly it doesn't stay off!
I think you are right that stress can do all sorts of awful things to your body and your mind.
Good night xx

Thanks Pisco.
I am watching the A word with my feet up.
Hoping I will feel better in the morning.
Good night xx

Morning Hush
Morning all.
How's the dizziness?

Hushabyemountain98 · 13/04/2016 10:06

Good morning Pisco.
It seems to have gone thank goodness.
I have walked the dogs and I didn't get it at all.
We have a sunny day today. I hope you do too?
I have an appointment to see a Counsellor next week.
I know it is going to cost money but I really need it.
Have a nice day xx

PiscoSour66 · 13/04/2016 10:32

That's good to hear about the dizziness. Yes, it's sunny here too. It's lovely.
My seeds are all germinating and springing up which really cheers me up.
I might do some more of something or another.
Have a good day everyone and hopefully you have sunshine too x

Allalonenow · 13/04/2016 10:32

Glad you are feeling a bit better today Hush, take it easy though.

I can't get into The A Word the people aren't very nice really are they, and the couples seem to ill matched and unlikely.

Sunny here today, but still cold.

Hushabyemountain98 · 13/04/2016 12:06

Thanks Pisco.
Glad you are enjoying the sunshine too.
Good that your seeds are germinating and springing up.
What else will you start off.
Have a good day xx

Hushabyemountain98 · 13/04/2016 12:08

Thank you Allalone.

Sorry you cannot get into the A word. I can see what you mean. They are a mismatched bunch!

Sorry it is still cold where you are. It is lovely here. At least it is dry!
Have a nice day xx

I haven't been able to watch the A word. I dont know if Im all autismed out or if I knew that for the most part it would be a miss more than a hit.

I have liked the documentaries running alongside this series though.

My favourite Autism related tv drama is After Thomas. Its really good and my son likes it as well. He particularly likes the bit where the boy shuts his mum in the cupboard, and the other bit where the boy is having a shopping for shoes related meltdown.

Its in fact where he first really became of his autism in that he started to say Im Autistilics after we used the drama as a stepping stone to his Autism. Smile

Husha, I hope you feel better soon. And hurrah to the counselling. Smile

Hushabyemountain98 · 13/04/2016 14:23

I can understand why you have not been able to watch the A word notonyur.
I did not see After Thomas.
I am glad that you and your son enjoyed it. It also seemed to be of help.
I am feeling a lot better today thank you.
I am looking forward to the Counselling.
Take care xx

I'll do some more more dahlias to keep the slugs fat and some sunflowers to keep the squirrels happy! They wait until the sunflowers are in full bloom and then they decimate them. It's a jungle out there!
Good night everyone x

Hushabyemountain98 · 14/04/2016 05:24

Good Morning Pisco,
I love sunflowers . We have squirrels here too. They are a real pain. I love feeding the birds but they steal their food and then a bought a squirrel proof feeder. Then I had a problem with a rat. Was told not to feed the birds! Xx

Good morning Hush. What are your plans for today?

I had a lovely dream last night. I dreamed that I got a lovely hug from my late father- I don't know why but I have taken such comfort from it.

Hushabyemountain98 · 14/04/2016 08:32

Good morning WTAFF.
My sister and brother in law are coming for coffee and cake this morning.
I have to get showered in a minute and take the dogs out. It is bright outside but quite chilly.
What a lovely dream you had. I can understand why you have taken so much comfort from it.
I got really down yesterday as my mind was working over time. It is just the injustice of it all. He is doing just what he wants with whom he wants and I am just left with all the crap with my life in bits.
Have a nice day. I hope you are getting on well with your PT xx

OP posts:
WTAFF · 14/04/2016 21:16

I've got my fifth pt session tomorrow. Then I'm promptly going to undo all my good work by going out for a curry!

How are you this evening?

Hushabyemountain98 · 14/04/2016 22:37

Good luck with your PT session tomorrow WTAFF. Curry this time! Not fish and chips!

I am really tired tonight. My sister did not come as she was feeling unwell.
I attempted to cut the grass but the petrol mowers were not working and the old electric mower packed up. So I went and bought a new electric mower. It needed to be put together and it really needed two people but I mananged it in the end. I cut the grass the best I could as it was really long.Then it started to rain!
My back aches tonight.

I hope you have had a nice evening?
Good night xx

OP posts:
PiscoSour66 · 14/04/2016 23:30

Hello. It's a shame your sister couldn't make it Hush, I hope your baking has not gone to waste. It's no wonder your back is aching if you've had to push an electric mower through long, wet grass. It must have been a frustrating day for you.
Well done on sticking with the exercise regime with the PT WTAFF, you've probably earned that curry by now. I need to resume my work out DVD, but I keep putting it off. You can be my Mr. Motivator!
Good night all x

Hushabyemountain98 · 15/04/2016 08:48

Good morning Pisco.
I put my apple cake in the freezer. Hopefully it will be good when I take it out!
It was frustrating yesterday. Putting the mower together was the worst bit.
WTAFF is being so good sticking with her PT. I hope the curry tastes good.
I hope you can get back to the work out DVD Pisco. Probably chasing around after your kids is exercise.
Better get moving and walk the dogs. Miserable damp day here!
Happy Birthday to HobbitWife. Hope you have a good one 🎂🍾xx
