Something’s not right

My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

@Snowie some herbs are pretty mild, and make food taste nicer 🙂. You don’t need anything fancy. There is a lot of anti inflammatory food out there too. I do find having a clean diet helps, the processed food in excess can cause inflammation, and inflammation can affect our mental health.

I have had really bad brain fog for some time. I’m hoping my body can heal over time. Stress does affect the body over the long term.

Do you think something like grounding will help you feel more present in your body? 💖🫂. Always here if you want to chat

Re: My special place

I do use herbs in cooking @creative_writer

A lot of the food I make is from scratch. I don't buy a lot of processed foods. Have some of course but try and keep it clean. D has gut issues so she doesn't handle processed foods well.

You are right, stress does affect the body. I think it affects us in many different ways.

I feel like shouldn't be awake for a few reasons. I just don't get why I bother anymore. It just feels useless.

Re: My special place

@Snowie homemade meals are the best. I also have a sensitive gut, so I very picky with what I do eat when we do get takeaway. I also like getting some of my protein from plants too. Too much meat feels too much for me.

You are far from being useless, hon. It takes a lot of strength and resilience to wake up and face the day with your MH struggles. We all believe in you on the forums. Always here for you 💖🫂

Re: My special place

They do say a balanced diet can help with mh @creative_writer Not sure if it's true or not.

I feel yuk if I have too much fat's. We don' have take away much, but always seem to buy myself a coffee when I'm down the street.

I'm just over it. Kids are home, lucky I made tea early so I don't have to surface. Rang someone again but didn't seem to help.

Re: My special place

@Former-Member this is where I normally am. I don't like taking up others thread and also with the guidelines about not repeating yourself across multiple threads.

Re: My special place

@Snowie I feel so much better on healthier fats like omega 3, olive oil and avocado.

I’m sorry it didn’t help, helplines can be a hit or miss. SANE will be back tomorrow, I usually find them to be more helpful. But do reach out for help in between if you need it. We are always here for you on the forums 💖🫂
