@Blackcloud oh I used to like the taste of cashew milk, but not the price!, yeah I tried matcha, that's on the no no list! another trigger for my IBS was mint oil, which is weird as mint is supposed to help, but without fail, anything with mint in it would send me to the toilet withing 20 minutes of eating it.

@Former-Member you seem like a very caring person even to the people that have treated you like sh!t from what i'm seeing, you're really too nice for this world...🥺 you probably dont want to hear this, I also would like to let you know you're not obligated to help them out if you know you're not able to, especially with how they've been treating you and how all of that has been making you feel. i mean, i know for me i'm still lowkey willing to help my mum out with something even though for the most part i'm not willing to. and for my dad, well, him and I aren't close at all so I don't do anything for him obviously haha - plus he's always been a d!ckhead so

@Shaz51 You beautiful soul 😘.
Positives for my day bought affirmation cards, a gratitude journal, and another book titled just for me a little self care.
Still feeling confused etc.
But I know in time things will make sense, and these feelings will start to fade.
Hope you have had an amazing day beautiful 💕

How the heck can a flying vortex toy cause such prolonged pain? Did it strain a muscle or something?
I feel so embarrassed for how I reacted

@Blackcloud thankyou for your kind words, I can't help it, unfortunately it's in my nature, I really need to remember the saying "givers need to set limits, because takers rarely do", as it has cost me so much in my life.

@MissGremlin anytime friend ❤️
@Former-Member it's sad cause i do like matcha because of the health benefits it has 😞 plus, its a really popular flavour amongst many others especially in my generation (gen z). even though it does give me the IBS related symptoms, especially the stools, I still would like to consume it from time to time, even if its with the latte (like matcha latte) - well at least matcha latte is better than any other types of matcha for me so far! 😛

@avant-garde sounds like it might have hit a nerve maybe or if you jolted suddenly when it hit you?
We can't always control how we act in the moment, especially when we are hurt, it's ok ♥️.

@Former-Member it's understandable because you love them so much, even though they may or may not realise that you do love them even though they don't like you for whatever reason. i'm sure you're not the only one that's like that. i know my mum does the same thing for me as you do for those people you care about, even though i do hate her but she's still willing to ask me to go shopping with her and provide some other types of care for me.
