1. Hi, I'm trying not to get depressed by the weather. really trying not to read the news

Had a doctors check up yesterday, including bloodwork, and there was nothing new to be alarmed about. So that’s good news, now just need take care of my kitties in this weather.

2. I'm glad the checkup had good results! And the kitties will take good care of you, too. I just gave

Mr. Bobo some catnip.

The crows are hungry and I can’t feed them in this snow.

3. Weather is one thing that doesn't give me anxiety

…(except when there are tornado warnings - eek!). We have a forecast for 6” of snow later today and tonight, and that much again on Saturday. So I’ll get some shoveling exercise in my 50’ driveway. I’ll take this anytime over facing a hurricane!

As for the news, oy. Now that’s depressing. Why do some people want to f*k things up so badly? What the hell is their problem?

I’m avoiding reading any news stories beyond the headlines, listening to podcasts, enjoying hobbies, and regularly popping my Xanax. Barely managing to cope with it all.

7. I hear you. I've been spending too much time doom scrolling and it's not so good for my anxiety.

These are such dark times.

Hang in there there….

4. Pushing myself through some weather related PTSD

Just gathered up extra firewood and now I'm covered with kid cats.

Still not watching any news channels. My appetite has gotten marginally better.

8. I hope things will get better for you and I hope the news gets better soon. 🤗💙

5. Not Great

Thanks for asking. Woke up to pain and swelling under my right ear and chinline. Icing it and took nsaids. Hoping to finally see a md who specializes in the face. Another cold shitty day here which I'm sick of

[LiberalLoner]

6. I'm so sorry. I hope so much you feel better soon.

I wonder if it’s from a tooth gone bad? I’ve had a lot of problems over the years with my teeth.

I’m tired of the cold and snow too.

I hope for better times soon for you.

9. Ty kindly

I was handled roughly by a dentist and now have a mechanical and neurological injuries for the last 7 months w constantly scary symptoms manifesting

[LiberalLoner]

10. Oh I'm so sorry. 😭. I can't tell you how much time I spend daydreaming that maybe there is a heaven and maybe I

Will get a body that works well, not an MS disabled body, and one with no aches or pains.

11. Do you have MS?

NT

[LiberalLoner]

12. Yes. Had an episode of transverse myelitis too that left me with bad spinal cord damage.

[XanaDUer2]

13. In so sorry

Is it hard to make ppl understand how you feel? Everyone is sick of me and my problems. One told me that all my current pain and problems are all in my head. There's something about doing that to someone that's just horrible

[LiberalLoner]

14. I'm so sorry, that is awful. I went through years of "it's all in your head" before I finally got diagnosed. They blew

Me off until I woke up and could not walk or feel anything from the waist on down. Then they took me seriously. Finally.
