Night Shift

@BlueBay I guess the most important thing to do, in my opinion, is to avoid foods that upset our gut. Everyone reacts differently. Ive read heaps of books on healing the gut and often the foods they say are good, dont actually agree with me.

The worst foods for me are: oats, citrus fruits, tomatoes, certain spices, nuts, too much dairy and probably other foods that I cant think of at the moment. Theres a milk called A2 milk and an A2 yogurt that are better tolerated, there is an explanation, which I can explain, if your interested. I read that the less sugars in the cheese, the better they are also. From what ive read, the more we stay away from foods not dont agree with us, the more chance our gut has to heal.

I read that Slippery Elm is good for the gut, I have some, but havent had it regularly. Another one to help heal the gut is, Glutamine. I have some of that also, but havent yet tried it. Ive just weaned myself off a terrible medication that I tried, so might try these other things sometime soon. Giving my gut a rest, haha! And Inner Health, which I take sometimes. I try different things at different times. But, definitely being careful about what I eat has helped me alot. I used to be in constant pain, feeling sick etc. Nuts were the worst. Anyway, lots of info for you. Whoops! I get a bit carried away sometimes.

From what ive read having a good gut is extremely important for good health. Certain brain chemicals are produced in the gut, eg, seratonin. if our gut isnt right then we dont have limited brain chemicals.

I better stop now, might be too much info.

@faith_and_hope

I'm going to take in some coloring in books

I know they runs groups in the hospital and have morning and afternoon beach walks

On the weekend I can go out to movies and coffee

Hopefully have some other activities running in the hospital.

I'm just going to miss my gym but the hospital is very close to the beach.

How are you going @faith_and_hope ?

Dear @Teej

How are you honey? It is pouring with rain tonight.....like really pouring.....I'm going to bed in a minute and feeling a little sorry for myself because there is so much to do tomorrow.

Clean Clean.

My son just moved out. I'm delighted that he has decided to go, his friends are very supportive of him, I'm a little concerned that he has another appointment for the hospital shortly and he keeps on forgetting the appointment but one of my son's friends came over to help him move .....he lives with my son and and I can just drop on by before the appiontment........

I'de usually just leave my son to be one his own but this appiontment is too important.....

@Teej you are so important here online. Did you know, we have a group of people who could just go either way and we all almost.....spontaneously but definately naturally........fall into positivity.........
Your one of them........

Huh, you wont be rejected.....but noticed for the time that I've been online that we all....we naturally fall into better care for ourselves. I find it very uplfting that you have the decision to see your Psychiatrist.........
I better get to beddie bye.....
Care you you and all onboard.... old and new (thats you @Appleblossom @Mazarita @lisajane @Shaz51 @oceangirl73 @Faith-and-Hope @BlueBay @flower @plasmo

Hi @Former-Member sorry youre struggling. xo to you.

@Faith-and-Hope Wow! You sound very busy indeed.

Id love to join your family. Theres just the 3 of us. My family live by, but im not well enough to cope with them, haha! I get very sad about it though, as we used to be very close, but too hurtfull to have them in my life. Things that were swept under the carpet are no longer. I cant be the pretender, people pleaser any more.

Visited the Greek club recently, but its too far to go regularly. I jokingly told my daughter to marry a greek, so we could have a big family to join and have some fun and dancing, haha! Shes only 16 and we dont know any greeks. Shes not in a hurry to marry either, haha!

Yeah, I'm okay .... 😊

Its raining outside tonight, and I find that cosy. Not too cold at 17deg, but due to go down to 13 again tonight. Might watch the rest of a movie with D1 that we started a couple nights ago. She has a cold, but is more miserable at the thought of facing her final real term of high school I think ....

Colouring books for adults were the best idea, ever ❣ They really tie in with a new interest in the "Zentangle" art form, and a lot of that is spilling over into new types of tattoo art as well .... Even if you can't draw these things, you can colour them in 😊

ooohhh, Guts....good subject @Mazarita !!

You have Always been there for everyone !! I've also noticed that we do share and because we are positive with others, we learn to care better for ouselves. I think it's important that we chare share share and work out our own dynamics......

This morning, I had something happen for me and I've been so looking forward telling all you about what happened, I have a few on my mind, my oldest friends, @Faith-and-Hope.... @BlueBay @Former-Member ....but anyway, you all know me very well here....

For years, my Mum has been .....nightmare......as my Psychotherapist writes, she is has elements of ....Psychopath.... but this morning....me and hub, Giles.....had a coffee with his Mum. For years, my Mum has been using her to get to me as well.....but this morning, she was supportive of me.

For the first time in my life.........I felt unjudged.

not judged. Dis judged. She said love you to me when we left.

Hi @Former-Member. Chilly night for you. Snuggle up. Nothing on tv here. I'll have to learn how to get movies on my new laptop. xo

Hi @PeppiPatty'

thanks for your kind words. I'm guessing things will be a bit different for you around the house with your son moving out, I thinks it's lovely that he has friends and you to still help him along. I have one of mine and his girlfriend moving in next week so at the opposite end to you. It will definitely change the dynamics here but hopefully for the better😊.

as for seeing my psych it's my history of medication 😳 that is the issue but I've been starting to write things down so that hopefully I can help him to make sense of everything. I'm kind of thinking if I bought in a few posts of mine from here he might see my fluctuations better🤔

Anyway wishing you a good nights sleep😴 Take care, hugs 😊💜

just saw your last post @PeppiPatty and I'm so happy for you re this morning💜💜💜

@PeppiPatty wow! What a fantastic feeling 🙂 I'm so happy for you!
