wouldn,t you just love to feel "normal"

[ceecee]

hi everyone
this morning when me and my husband woke up i asked him how he felt,he just shrugged his shoulders and said"well i feel normal"and i thought to myself "god when was the last time i woke up and felt"normal",i mean no shaking,no worrying,no dreading the day ahead,no feeling sick!!!!i just can,t imagine how it feels to just wake up and think about what we are going to have for tea that night,or what i,m going to wear!!!
can anyone relate to that,or am i just feeling sorry for myself right now
take care

Yup, I can totally relate! I envy everyone who takes their 'normality' for granted!
BUT, all I can do is remind myself that there are people much worse off than me and count the blessings I do have.

I TOTALLY relate to that feeling. I've only felt like this for 2 months - but I start each day longing for it to end so that I can come back to bed and do without the bit in the middle. If you had said 6 months ago that this could happen to me. I'd have thought you were crazy. Now its me who feels crazy. I went from one year to another without seeing the doctor and have been like that all my life (I'm 53), now I need a blasted season ticket.

I dread the phone ringing, I hate the doorbell (but thankfully it doesn't ring very often), I don't like going out to the shops - and haven't met up with friends for ages - I can settle socially and just want to get home.

I just have to believe that one day (soon) it will all be back to "normal".

Hi,
I too wish I could waken up and feel 'normal' but a different type of normal from my old 'normal' if you get my meaning?
I can totally relate to the not wanting to waken up feeling sick. I also worry about tea, as whilst I can eat food, I have a big problem thinking about it or preparing it etc. and Sandie, I sooo feel like you do, wanting the day to be over so I can get back to bed. I go to bed at 8-9pm. I occassionally have a 'late night' when I am up til 9.30!
You have a kindred spirit in me Rach!:D

yep

agree,

have not felt normal for years. Since I turned 40, anxiety has gone thru the roof.

Feels like my whole system has collapsed .

Is a constant battle to try to stay in some kind of equilibrium , drains the hell out of me

[debstar]

This is so me. I say to myself everyday that I just want to feel 'normal' and enjoy life like others I see doing.

[reddevil]

Hi,

I totaly agree, I have not felt normal for a good couple of years.

It would be nice, to be able to live a week like a normal person, just to see how wonderfull life is.

I would define feeling "normal" as not waking up and panicking straightaway, not constantly analising how I feel and being able to go out without worrying about it.

If only.......
