Don’t pay attention to it, to let your mind engage in it, just ignore what your thinking and if anyone Is there to do anything they would just do it. So if nothing has happened and you have not been confronted in anyway, then chances are that you are OK and will be OK. Don’t invole the police, it will just cause you further issues. Unless you have been physically attacked or had a home invasion and have audio or visual evidence of it, then contact the police. Even then, involving the police is rarely a good idea as when the questionable people find out that you have informed, it will only increase problems… So don’t pay attention to it and don’t think about it and just go about your day and your life as you normally would and you be be OK

feeling very immobile at the moment. I’ve pulled my neck nerve or muscle. I think its nerve issues. The pain is paralyzing. Cant move my arm above my shoulder to put my hair in a pony tail, if i try to reach up the pain rips right through my neck n shoulder and upper back. Tried to get dressed and couldn’t even swing a jacket over my shoulders. I slept with a travel neck pillow squeezed tight around my night so I could attempt or lay down. Impossible. Had to fall asleep sitting up against my bed head wall. I’ve never had nerve or neck damage before and I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. I’ve got no idea how it got this serious… I did some YouTube research and found some exercises with a towel movement to do that reliefs neck pain, I tried it but I can’t move my head more that a centimete with the towel… I called the hospital emergency to ask if I come in now are they able to help in anyway, they said no, they said just wait it out over night till I can go to my GP in the morning 
I’ve just got some deep heat and put it on with much difficulty, I put it on a hand towel and managed to swing it over to my neck to apply it with the towel… It was a moment of wishing I did not live alone because having someone here to help would really be a big help in this moment lol 
… If anyone has had experience with this kind of neck nerve injury pain, please let me know if there’s anything I can do to relieve the pain or fix it etc…

Hi April, so I know a little about nerve pain. I know books and videos say to use heat but I’ve always been told by my Dr.’s to use ice and I really couldn’t believe the difference although the heat feels great the ice really helps so you can start moving. I’m sorry you’re going through this I hope you feel better soon.

- Yesterday afternoon I took some much needed time to myself. I did absolutely nothing I chilled out watching movies. I spent some time with my mom in the morning and all I could think about was coming home and doing nothing. I have brother who is in active addiction and my parents still help him out all the time. I didn’t think about it until one of my brothers brought it up and now I wish he would’ve never said anything to me. When I was in active addiction my mom was the worst to me. She wouldn’t talk to me, she was mean, cold and when she had my kids she wouldn’t let me see them. It took me getting sober and putting up some serious boundaries with her. But, with my brother she is trying to help him and giving him money all the time and fixing his truck. I just need to pray for peace because now I feel like every time I’m with her that’s all she talks about is him and helping him and it took me everything not shoot back at her with STOP ENABLING HIM. One thing about my mom is she’s very strong willed and outspoken. No-one can tell her right and wrong. I do want to say something and I will but it has to be the right way or I risk a fight with her. Wowwww, I really needed to get that out.

Checking in at the end of day 77.
Feeling on top of the world today. Covid is almost nonexistent in Singapore at the moment, so our school is resuming day trips for students. Everything is socially distanced, and there are no overnight stays, but it is a step on the road to normality. I am going on a trip tomorrow, so I have had to sort out some trip clothes this evening. I have discovered that I have lost 4 or 5 kilos in weight since the start of January. Unbelievable. All whilst eating better than I have done for years. Not skipping meals to enable me to drink more. Eating full, wholesome meals. I guess that the 5/6000 calories less that I am consuming per week have just accumulated (or the opposite?) over time. I was so happy that I went through my wardrobe and tried on a few shirts that didn’t fit me at the height of my lockdown alcohol consumption weight gain binge, and loads of them now fit me. I can’t believe it. I was so miserable when I realised that I couldn’t wear them last year. It really affected me. This has done precisely the opposite.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

Day 283 clean and sober today. It’s a wonder that I’m still alive and sober today you guys. No matter how much I sometimes don’t want to be on this planet anymore I find myself just going to bed and waking up to one more sober day. It’s like at this point in my recovery, getting loaded would just be the tool I would use to take myself out. The real struggle is feeling all the shit I have to feel on a daily basis and not take my life. Thank you for everyone’s support last night on the mental health thread. I’ve been here with you all for so long one of my first instincts is to share what I’m going through here and dumping it all out. There’s a lot of power in that so thank you. Got my tat done last night and again it represents heartbreak in the Tarot, the 3 of swords. I love you guys very much and I hope you all have a wonderful day today.

I’m glad you got that out too. And I wanted to write back SHE’S ENABLING HIM! But you knew that. So glad you can recognize that. It could be denial too. I’m 2 for 2 with addicted children. All’s good now. But it really sucks as a parent. I don’t know what I’d say to her either or if I would even bring it up. Alanon would be best for her but I get the feeling she wouldn’t be into that. It helped me so much.
Congratulations to you on all those freaking days you got. Wow!! 
another super woman here folks.
