I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Good evening gentle folks from a sore and sorry Queenie. I fell down the front stairs and have bruised all up my left leg and tailbone area. I also pulled muscles so I'm in an ouch mood. Just checking in with y'all.

I hope you all get well soon from the flu @Faith-and-Hope . I guess its not very long now until you return home. And hopefully everyone is well for the return trip home. No probs
Its not uncommon for a person to go for one extreme to another. But in saying that its not healtly.I myself have lost quite a bit of weight but I have done it slowly and I think manageable long term. I am not really restrictive of my food and exercise enough to keep me healthy and in actual fact I should be doing it a bit more but I am doing more then what I was doing two years ago so I still see that I am winning. I just hope WH will see that is eating habits and exercise is not healthy and not to that extreme.
I think I am feeling a bit brighter then what I have been and that has been because I got out today and taking a bit better care of myself. Never lose HOPE @Faith-and-Hope.

Hi everyone .... 😊💕
@oceangirl .... it's faith and hope that keep me going, and believe it or not, there have been positives in this situation too .... WH has learned an awful lot about nutrition that will serve him well when he recovers. And he went from doing no exercise to too much, so when he can find a centre line that will be good too.
I have been to see a psych when I found I couldn't get through to anyone about WH, but after telling my story, it became clear that I can only tread water until the status quo changes, and try to hold home and hearth together around the kids until something breaks or changes. This thing is masquerading as normal behaviour, so I would have to tear our life to pieces to try to unmask him, and it's too hard to put that sort of fall-out back together later even if it did result in him being treated.
Just gotta wait it out, but accommodating the regimen is keeping him emotionally stable now, most of the time.
@Queenie ... oh dear .... ! Sounds really painful. I have done that before, but not quite so badly ... I hope you're feeling better soon 💜
@Shaz51 ... we are in rentals at the moment.
