(((d kathryn))) have you seen a neurologist and tell him how you are feeling since your concussion? ((())) you are doing a lot. Having the concussion, being sick, and getting shingles is huge on your body. ((())) be gentle with yourself.
it is always a joy to be here with you!

Stress is different for everyone. Only the individual person knows what drives them crazy (stresses them).

It is better FOR ME to move around even if it is at a snail pace. Laying in bed when I am awake stresses me. I find my stress level greatly decreases when I spend time outdoors in the sunshine. A bonus is if I have a good book to read. But this is me. These things would not be a stress reducer for other people.

I remember being off work for what seems like a long time when I had shingles. According to my doctor, I was contagious and couldn't be around people. I remember being stuck at home and so bored. And in pain because of the shingles. During that time of my life I was playing video games (river raid, pac man, etc) and reading at least one book a day. I read incredibly fast then - speed reading a book in about an hour. I guess that is how I got through that time. I don't remember much other than the boredom and pain.

2. Go after it relentlessly.

Morning...

My migraines have taught me a lot about letting go of things I can’t control. Right now my home needs to be dusted and I have three loads of laundry to fold. I give myself a break when I’m in recovery mode. To fight the pain I have to go into myself and I can’t worry abt the world around me.

Sweetie is a grown man and can take care of himself. I don’t feel Like I have to be responsible for any of his needs. Even when my son was around and I was working I had others who stepped in to help. Stressing abt things only makes the pain work.

In the past when I was working, stress was a large part of my world. Many times I felt like I was raising 90+ kids at a time. Same with some of my co-workers who could be drama queens at times. I learned to set boundaries. I would come into work early cause that my best thinking times and friends would unintentionally stop by to talk and interrupt me. Closed doors didn’t work, so I ended up putts my a note on my door saying...working, come in if it’s an emergency

Dr Phil is fond of saying we teach people how to treat us. I’m a firm believer in that. Stress has taught me to look at a situation and figure out how to work it for my benefit ... when I find myself feeling overwhelmed I breath, take a walk, talk to God, pet my pup, talk to Sweetie, read a book,or get outside.
