Worried again :(

You know wondering if you are dehydrated. Its not drinking a couple of water bottles and you are all good. Its about drinking half your body weight in water or juices in ounces daily. Maybe even throwing in a gatorade or two, anxiety does stuff to our bodies. It depletes nutrients rather fast as they are needed to run thru all the adrenaline cycles and depletes water as well. I get a lot of headaches. I have yet to figure it out. I take a b complex, do magnesium flake  foot soaks and drink and drink and drink. Many times i dont want to even drink but i try to force it. Usually at that point i grab a gatorade becauss water sometimes is too bland. We get symptoms, new ones, old ones, ailments, illness thrown in its overwhelming to us more so than the average. Its like it never stops. I think we are all very alert to oains and aches and very impatient for them to resolve.

you have come a long way and know so much now about anxiety and all its evil spins. You also know theres no trade offs. Illness can occur too. Illness mostly heals or stabilizes its just time. Time none of us can tolerate at times

You arent back at square one. You never will be. You know to have faith and hooe now and that many of these quirks pass. Sometimes they need help from a doctor too but eventually they pass or you adjust...

you are still young and strong, embrace that.not so easy when you are older with ailments and all this junk happens but it is still the same faith and hooe to carry you through either way.

i am sending you a big huge air hug. Cramps and headaches needs a lot of hydration, the body  does know how to recover from a lot of this junk too.

exhausting isnt it 😔

Aw Mopsy! You bad, bad girl!

Googling! Brain tumours! MS!

When will you ever learn..sigh...

You silly sausage Cramp is nothing to fear, now is it? I often get cramp. I often get headaches, well actually, I suffer from chronic migraines....what I don't do is google or leap to the assumption that I must have a brain tumor...

You have sinus problems, sweetie, which is miserable at the best of times ( my eldest son has ongoing sinus issues ) and it does induce headaches.

Mopsy, dearest, you have to accept that we all get aches and pains, sniffles and the rest, especially at this time of year. But you are doing what you used to do...freaking out at the slightest hint of a symptom

I know, I know it's not easy. But you make it harder, much much harder by googling. You know that, don't you? It's like sticking your hand in the fire, knowing it will burn you, but doing it any way.

I want my old Mopsy back, that determined young woman of whom I was so proud. Do you hear me?

You are not dying!

You are panicking.

I want you to promise me you will get your right thinking head on.

Please?

I send love and hugs ( and a slap round the ear for good measure )
