What a mixed up muppet!

You may still be going through a period of adjustment, even though you have come so far in your healing.

I had a spell like that about 6 months after my injury, where I was pushing myself really hard to get "back to normal," even though my body wasn't quite there yet. The hardest step was leaving my cane at home. And I was trying to finish grad school that year, so it didn't help that I didn't have a lot of stamina and was in pain all the time. Not enough pain to stop me from going about my day, but enough to affect my general sense of well-being and quality of life. I also had some episodes of anxiety related to my accident.

I got myself back into PT since I felt like I needed the support, and also talked to someone about managing my exposure to anxiety triggers. I learned that even though I had been cleared to return to full activity, I needed to carve out time to take care of myself, physically and emotionally.

Be good to yourself, Clock. Do what you have to do in order to keep the good healing vibes going!

wow, that describes me about one month a year- not predictable, just every now and then everything catches up and the inner ***** comes out. It has also happened when I allow myself to become severely overtrained. Indulge your inner grumpiness, don't try to do anything about it but that which helps, rest, eat, stare blankly at a wall, talk to someone, take naps, hot baths with herbs or flower buds, feel better soon.

If we never feel sad, frustrated, or unhappy, then we can't fully appreciate it when we feel happy. It's part of the big plan.

It's your inner Oscar the Grouch coming out.

But soon Cookie Monster will show up again
