Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Tw Not Coping

I wouldn't say I like any form of tea @Kyle1

I only drink water, hot chocolate, and very rare orange juice.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I hope you give yourself a chance to try it someday... Maybe even chilled. It can be suprisingly uplifting. And besides: ginger is said to be good for the gut. And what's good for the gut is good for the brain - apparently. ...

Re: Tw Not Coping

Yes the gut-brain connection is very real @Kyle1.

All I can say is it's making everything worse with the medication.

Re: Tw Not Coping

I knew b4 starting about the possible side effects of this med. One of which is increased appetite- especially for carbohydrates. Which makes sense, considering carbs natural relationship with serotonin.

But I've been craving hot potato chips like a demon. Seriously! I wake up crying my arse off, but smell and taste hot chips still - like they're a carrot and I'm a donkey... @Birdofparadise8
