@poppsy1 Hello from Northern Ontario. I too have challenges mental and physical and your post caught my eye. have not been following your posts but "not coping at all well" is familiar to me I get so overwhelmed I barely remember my own name. It's when the pain and anxiety take a very brief respite and I "almost" feel normal, is such a nice feeling but not happening a lot. I wish I had a "safety net" for the hours/days when I am not coping... I do listen to You Tube tapes (some are better than others) relaxation etc., and stay in bed which is too often lately.... but when things flare up it's hard to cope.... wanted you to know, and am sure you do, that you are not alone.
As my husband says; take one day at a time and I say can I take one hour at a time (I have even mentioned one minute at a time). I hope your gp and a crps contact you soon....here it seems many medical offices are closing on Fridays, so its 3 days wait for help which is a long time when need help. Will be thinking of you - Monday was disastrous for me; Tuesday livable; yesterday morning terrible and pm a bit better.... it's such a see-saw, merri go round - cant plan anything either. Hope some members you keep in touch with will get back to you today too ... J.
