The Weekly Friday Feast

Sorry for delayed reply!

Thanks @CherryBomb - It just didn't make sense to be asked, as I have been on this medication since early 2012 & only started to see my current psychiatrist February last year - & in that time my weight has remained stable - give or take a little. Maybe she was worried that I was restricting to maintain my weight?? I might ring her pager next week & leave a message saying I'm paranoid about something that was said in my last session, so I can clarify it with her - or maybe I will just wait till next month. I know it is stable after all....

Yes, I went to yoga yesterday & afterwards we went an organic cafe/grocery. We had a coffee (decaf soy piccolo for me) & then brought a banana & apple each, as well as dark chocolate dairy free coated sultanas. Gosh, organic fruit tastes AMAZZZZZING - if only it was more affordable! We savoured the chocolate treat (usually have 1 chocolate treat a week) - had some on the way home (after the fruit!) & then I HID the rest until the evening! I'm going to yoga again in a few hours - I haven't been able to sleep since 2:50, so I got up. Last week I went to yoga 5 times! This week it will be 4 times + a pilates class for a change!

Thinking of you too @Jacques - what are you feeling the same way about?? Money stress? Overwhelmed with anxiety?? I'm sorry to hear about the flooding & the effect on the farmers. Here we need more rain & we have got a bit lately thankfully... Hugs & sending you strength

Even more hugs @Shaz51

I hope people are having a good or "okay" (or even WONDERFUL) weekend!

Sending strength to those that are struggling.....

Namaste,

Anna

Hi my dear friend @aButterfly, both my friend, Financial Insecurity and severly overwhelmed with anixety, it is getting so bad now i shake uncontrollably every day and all the consequences of depression.

yes, it is amazing to me how big this country is, where some farms are flooded and others are in drought. i hope everyone gets some rain.

thank you for the hugs and support. you are often in my thoughts, sending you strength too.

take care my friend.

Jacques

Thank you for the hugs @Former-Member xx

sending you some too

Hello @Jacques my friend , sending you hugs

How is your mum going ??

Hope things improve for you soon @Jacques.....

I feel really low due to lack of adequate sleep, being triggered more than usual by 'the alcoholic' today (I'm skipping a shower tonight - can't take any more today...) & I guess the exhaustion of anxiety about everything... *sigh* My yoga practice was good today though.... @NikNik thanks for the mention last week letting me know you are still going to yoga - I'm so glad to hear (or read!)

I see my psychologist tomorrow.... At the moment I feel too exhausted for the 3 hour round trip & 1 hour session - Hopefully I sleep well tonight - I'm so anxious I can't even nap..

Hugs, hugs, hugs all!

Namaste,

Anna

Will be having chicken snitzchel and veges plus stewed apricots and icecream and a small glass of wine.

Should be having a side salad but ran out of time to go shopping for salads. Hope each forum member has a good evening and equally good weekend. Cheers from Bimby2

Happy Friday everyone!

thanks @Bimby2 for kicking off Friday Feast. I moved your post into this Friday Feast thread.

Dinner sounds great! We are having salmon rissoles

YUM!!!

How is everyone tonight?

Hi all....

I don't know what is for dinner - my partner is sleeping at the moment.....

We had a strange day.... The hospital gave him an appointment to see a surgeon & when he got there they said there had been a mistake & gave him a new appointment for 2 weeks time. It is so frustrating - no one seems to care he is in pain, but me. He had his cycling accident over 2 years ago & the hospital has made countless mistakes.....

Anyhow, we went to a cafe & shared a vegan pizza - because after all it is our 13th year anniversary this month (I don't remember the date due to ECT & he just doesn't remember the date, so we make it all month...) I wish we had the $$ to celebrate more - he did say earlier in the month we could go to the beach, but I don't know if it going to happen...

I feel asleep in the car on the way there & way back (3 hour round trip) - & then went to bed when we got home. I couldn't sleep for awhile last night, but didn't know it would cause that much exhaustion.... I thinnk my partner may have accidentally given me a higher dose tablet of my antipsychotic....

Anyhow, I'm feeling quite low..... life is just so exhausting... I'm feeling fat... I'm feeling hopeless...

Sorry to hear you are low too @Jacques *hug*

Namaste,

A
