What is a goal that you hope to accomplish this week?
Tomorrow I want to get my MRI over with. It isn't going to be very fun, and I'll have to schedule another one while I'm there. So I guess my goal is to get out of the MRI and come home so I can rest.
Why do you want to accomplish that goal?
MRIs have become very stressful for me.
I'll have the usual one for my head and cervical spine tomorrow, and I'm hoping that it isn't painful. I've had many MRIs over the last decade for Multiple Sclerosis but lately going into the MRI has been painful.
Either the scan hurts because the scanner generates heat over the sites its scanning, or I'm squished in the tube and have to freeze in that uncomfortable position for over an hour, maybe an hour and a half.
Granted, the MRI scan for my spine later on might be more painful...it was the last time I had to do it. Last time it felt like it was burning through my chest because that's where the scan begins, then down the rest of my spine till it reached the lumbar.
Its better to just get it over with. So for each one I hope that I can make it through without making a fool of myself, then go home to rest.
What are you plans for self care this week?
Laying down. Reading digital books on my phone. Maybe playing video games.
Doing chores because I need clean clothes and dishes.

Hey Blues,
I understand I hope the MRI goes well whatever it is for and wishing that the next appointment go well as well. I understand MRI's can be stresful and anxiety provoking for some people. I hope it isn't painful for either. I know some people feel more discomfort than others. I understand I'm sorry for whatever you're going through. I know it isn't easy for you. I'm sorry to hear that you were in that knd of pain last time. I hope this time things go better and you won't be in the MRI machine for as long. I undersand and it's okay if you struggle with getting over it I know it isn't easy for you. Sounds like some good self care techniques and doing some chores always necessary if you want to live in a clean and organized space. Hope everything will go well. Please stay safe and take care and know tht you're not alone. 💜
@kindcherry2
Thanks. I have to get MRIs once a year, maybe more depending on how I do during neurological exams or symptoms I report. I'm deeply regretting mentioning my restless legs during my last appointment.
I'm just going to get it over with and try to lay very still during the scan. I'll just have to breathe very slowly to not upset the techs by unintentionally moving while doing so.
Sending strength and peace for your scan. @integrityblues
@bestVase7265
Thank you, bestVase.
my goal for this week was to register for summer classes. I registered for my microbiology class last week so i don't have to work my current job this summer!
I wanted to accomplish this goal because i'm trying to finish all 7 science courses. I need to do these courses before I can apply to the accelerated nursing program.
Some things I'm doing this week for self-care is journaling, meditation and taking a few days off from work to get some rest
@BrokenAngelxx
Hey Angel,
I understand your goal being to register for summer classes and I would understand why your job would interfere and why you would want to focus on your studies. i understand and your goal seems reasonnable for what you want to persue for you career in the future. All those coping and self care mechanisms can definetely help in the hard times. Glad to hear you are taking care of yourself.
That sounds great!@BrokenAngelxx
@kindcherry2
Hi, Cherry,
1. What is a goal that you hope to accomplish this week?
I hope to continue to be dignified and professional around some very bad characters at work.
2. Why do you want to accomplish that goal?
Because all I can do is control myself around the bad characters. I can't control what they say or do.
3. What are you plans for self care this week?
I am not scheduling much to do outside of work because I need rest and relaxation.
What kinds of things might help you find a better job?@purpleTree4652
@bestVase7265
I'm doing searches on the internet. I also might ask my boss if she can transfer me to another location. I asked my two top bosses at one of my current jobs to give me a recommendation for grad school and they both said yes. But even with that, if I find a job that gives me the schedule I want and pays for my tuition, I will think hard about taking it.
It sounds like a good approach. Figure out what schools you want to apply to. Also decide if the job situation right now is bad enough for an immediate "do you have another office" kind of conversation. @purpleTree4652
