I use high no white sugar protein shakes, and simple foods: prepared legumes and quinoa in pouches etc. and soups. I don’t eat anything for days when I am in a very low state, so I also use bagged salads with feta. I am very conscious of my diet, because it is important that my already foggy...

Welcome. As everyone has already said, it is possible for sure. I was misdiagnosed with a lot of stuff, mainly untreatable depression. I never thought my PTSD was my big issue, but have come to realize it triggers depression and therefore is a much bigger issue than I realized. Being told to...

I understand…be kind to yourself, things do shift, it isn’t always possible to say when, it just comes 🧚‍♂️

Thank you for sharing this! 🧚‍♂️ It was a very nice day. I felt good just doing what I could and feeling well. Thank you for your support 🧚‍♂️ Yes it so true! Taxes 🤣🤣. I let my hair down and just was me. It was a peaceful time… but now I am exhausted. I think I might be an introvert at...

I think after 2 hours of pondering, I might have come up with something. My parents abandon me, as I have explained before. My father and his 2nd wife didn't take me when my mother had a nervous breakdown when I was about 10. One could imagine what my life like before her breakdown. She was...

Today marks the day I was born. I am not sure how I feel about it. Normally I feel no need to have a big celebration. I see other people so into them and I find that pressures me. I feel pushed and expected to be excited and happy. Can’t I just enjoy the day? If I am in the mood… or not feel...

I have had this for years, and I disassociate even in absolutely okay situations. I don't do it consciously, it happens and I panic. Sounds a bit silly, but I learned to hold onto something in the room, a chair/ table or when outside a tree/bench and hold tight and ground myself back to the...

I am not sure if normal is even a word I like. I guess it is just something I have been conditioned to think....How can it be possible that ? Normal? Thanks Friday.. So true, the big lie we were taught as children. I used to like my "being different", it makes me ...me. Thanks for the...

Thank you Deno, I have carried way too much, like most people here. True too, compassion give me more freedom, I am so tired of being angry and asking why. Actually lately, I have started to feel things for real, just everyday stuff. At the moment I can do it without freaking. I push myself...

Shame has created this for me as well. I have not been kind to my body. I always wondered why I despise my body?How do I learn it to like it ? How do I look at myself without feeling bad? Why do I not listen to it? I think for me it is that I blamed myself for the things that happened, so I...

That is a good feeling… no longer wanting to hide. I am happy for you 🧚‍♂️

That is so good to read, I go into guilt mode when I feel I might have said something to upset anyone. That is something I struggle with, never upset anyone because hurt is unbearable and I wouldn’t want to be the cause. I think I learned that from a very young age, from my mother. I am not...

I am going to try 🧚‍♂️ I hope that doesn’t mean I upset you. I am able to express myself very honestly and I do not do it often, as most people would not understand. I felt comfortable saying it to you, here, because well your posts are very honest and clear. Please let me know… if this is...

First of all thank you Deno, your words mean a lot to me. Being spent is a challenge, and I am starting to also have better days, where I feel my light and hope back. The dark days well they are intense. The waiting to finally go back to sleep where I can shut my conscious mind off for a...

Thanks Arfie! 🎸I must have repeated that song 50 times on my walk that day. It popped into my head the day before I met that man for a talk. He told me everything in German so his words translated into the song in my head 🤣 … there will be an answer… let it be 🧚‍♂️. It has been joined with a...

Hope comes and goes, but getting through is the key. Reaching out for understanding again. I have been working on myself, functioning better but wow it is exhausting …I am struggling, but well I don’t want to figure it out, just accept it. Is there peace from this? So darn tired 🧚‍♂️

Wishing my mood from last night was here, waking up can be very challenging with sadness. I went to bed more optimistic and not feeling it this morning ☹️

I guess my owner’s manual got lost in the mail too 💛🧚‍♂️

Yes I also had this as a child. I think I was between age 7-10. I was walking with some other children, and said I feel like my head is in my hands. The lights, nighttime dark and all the noise scared me but I kept walking in a frozen state not understanding. That is my earliest memory...

Hey Rowen I was just reading our chat and even though it is hard. I keep waking up with sadness, anxiety wishing all my hard work with myself would break me out of my mental jail. I just wanted to reach out. Susan 🌸

Thanks Deno, Well I will try and see it that way, but it really truly makes me panic, I feel completely unable to deal. That is what I somehow cannot understand. Why panic? I am trying to regulate myself but wow this is tough…🧚‍♂️

Thank you for that Deno. I needed that this morning. I was reading a book, trying to get back into reading, and it was triggering me so badly, I had to get up and call my sister explaining this theme. I never really relized just how deep this feeling is in me Good morning everyone and thank...

Yes. I used to feel that way all the time. I still get it, when I speak about it but more often I just feel compassion for myself. I must have been so scared, and lost. In fact I know I was because the fear still takes over when I am not doing well handling stress, ill or tired. The shame...

Welcome here, a forum that I only found about 5 weeks ago. Trying harder, being diligent, fitting in, yes I understand. I worked myself into collapse. Hope goes out when we feel we are outside the circle and don’t fit in. This is not true, just a lifetime of trying to fit in a scheme. I...

Haha … sounds right! I like that 💛 without adult supervision. Thanks for your words… True ! I am sorry you are having a challenging day as well. Maybe the ups and downs happen to us all, but our nerves are wired to alway be in tune with every change 🤔. I hope your day improved as well 🧚‍♂️...
