Yes funny that- cant keep food down yet putting on weight. Stupid anxiety. Stupid everything.
Hmm you might have solced an ailment ive been having with sugar. Anything over a teaspoon in a cup of tea makes me feel like shite.
Yes Li1. Im a complete f**king mess. A complete F**king mess for anyones age!.
Scoliosis, slipped disk, a stupid hip, sciatica, shite vision, stupid mental illness that apparently is now outta control yet again, injuries that will never heal because of a stupid f**king DR not doing his jo properly and now I have to pay for it, hpv, breast cysts that keep coming back, infections downsatirs that apparently I get all the friggin time, and now f**king vertigo. Fat ugly and probaly eventually going to go bald What next! Honestly! I cant jeep up. These things were the reason I wanted to commit suicide in the first palce. Im 20 and complete f**king mess! Whats in store for when im older.
I hope for your sake you wont have to have surgery but if itll help with your pain then id be doing it. If I had the chance now to have surgury instead of having to live with this shite I would but I cant its all inoperable now.
Yes podiatrsits are expensive, msut admit that.
I think discussing it with your gp would be a good idea. Its sad how family members can cause so much anxiety within ourselves isnt it my family esp my sisters casue a lot of my anxiety.
And yes I seem to have a heart and a weak spot for all the troubled thing

I had cattle outlander,when I'd put them on the cattle truck or have to use a stick to get them to go up the ramp I'd hate myself .When I sold my final lot I hated myself, one ,my cow who was my poddy calf is buried in the paddock with the horse bit by a snake and my dogs and cats...Love them forever.My cow Daisy,would follow me when I called her name and her family would follow.I could put my arms around her neck and hug her.I don't know either outlander,at the moment not SC,if I don't do something to control my stress,I worry I will have a heart attack,as my stress level atm is high,this morning with mother it was.I have high cholesterol too.I can't get a job hope I don't have to have surgery but I requested the x-ray because I know I have a problem.Fusion would mean recovery of 6-12 weeks so be hard for me to gain employment.Yes sisters,I don't talk to mine and my mother started talking about them to me this morning.I didn't want to know because I have been trying to control my blood pressure by keeping calm and I was worried about my foot x-ray....Bloody family.

I have missed you too @outlander 💕 And yes feels like forever. I know you went to hospital as I saw that post. My internet was soooo slow whilst away that I could not jump on and post to give you support. I will put photos up when I finally get them off my camera...hopefully later in week. I am feeling really tired today. Sleep catching up maybe? I didn't sleep all that well when was on my holidays. Maybe it is the different environment.
I see the posts you and @Former-Member have been exchanging. Having a positive mindset is more difficult for one person and easy for another. I can see with all that has happened to you why it is easier said than done. One step at a time my friend. You lost some weight YAY!!! Try to think of each small achievement as a positive. Even if you have 2 negative thoughts and one positive that is good.
In terms of losing weight. Every persons body differs unfortunately. It really is (or I have been told) 20% exercise and 80% what we eat. Sleep and drinking lots water apparently is important too. A bunch of PTs have told me that doing HIIT (high intensity interval training) for 20 mins also is better than running on treadmill for 20 mins straight. Run fast for 4 mins then walk for 1 min...something like that.
