[Survivor3]

You've been through a lot in the last couple of weeks @Survivor3 , and you're making massive changes (not drinking etc), and dealing with all the past trauma. It sounds a great great great deal to be managing at the moment. So not at all surprising communicating with others, even if it your mum, is tough right now. Maybe give yourself permission to just let that be ok?
Hope it passes soon and you feel able to communicate with who you want when you want.

Thanks, that's really understanding. I like the fact that you said that. To give myself permission that, that's ok. I really do feel like I've been through so much. Thanks.

I'm trying to use my nicotine spray because I'm smoking to much.I've got gum aswell. I really need to stop smoking but it's really hard because I basically feel scared and anxious most of the time. I might try and get a docters appointment at some point because I can't go on like this. It's shit.

I had to quit smoking three times before I finally succeeded. Anyone can start smoking, it takes guts, determination and sticking to it. In my case, I had a lucky break. I got sick or had some kind of stomach bug. Someone lit a cigarette near me and the smell of it made me so nauseated that I almost started throwing up, even though I had stopped.

sorry your aren't feeling well. I think making an appointment is a great idea. I would guess that you have some follow ups after being in the hospital? quitting smoking is very difficult. It took me many tries and its ok that you are struggling with it. That is normal. You have been through a lot lately. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Curious how Bob the lizard is doing? Is he eating any of the romaine?

I can't tell if he's touched it, but there's plenty of dead bug remains around which weren't here yesterday, so I believe he's doing his job. I had dropped some bits of romaine on my kitchen floor yesterday, so he could have eaten a bit of those instead of the one I left where I'd seen him.

Hello all! Happy Monday. I had a super exhausting weekend. I ended up painting my bathroom the walls and the the ceiling then I redid all the base boards and painted them. I am so tired!
