Hugs @Sirine . I've just read your posts. I'm sorry things have not been so good.
I hear that the rental market is so competitive at the moment. You are not alone on that one.
Sitting with you.
I'm here for a chat if you need one.

Well take the rest while you can @Sirine ☮️. Big life events, like finding a place and moving can really challenge us. Take care of yourself xx
What are you doing with your peaceful night?

@Former-Member I have the book but can't read right now but the relationship between physical health and mental health just makes sense. I had my first bout of ibs at 7/8 years old. I had nightmares from 3. We have to look at ourselves holistically we are not just a brain or a body, it's all related

Absolutely! I also have IBS, night terrors and I get the shakes when down. It is so hard to manage it all and it is all connected.
I love audiobooks and videos as opposed to reading sometimes. It is relaxing @Sirine

@MDT I can't sleep my brain is in overdrive. So much I have to deal with. Unfortunately am thinking of revenge on some of my abusers. Flatmate has to go, just need to tell her in a way that's not confrontational. Need to learn more about trauma. How to academy on you tube have a 3 part series on 'the body keeps score' author. Very interesting. I'm feeling a bit high but have a headache. Bloody hell don't know if I'm Arthur or Martha right now

@Former-Member isn't ibs horrid? Mine can last weeks when it's bad like now, I go through alot of toilet paper lol.
I'm finding videos easier to deal with. I used to eat books but it's been hard to read for a while now just can't concentrate. I'm glad I have you tube, I can do research much more easily
