Sorry to hear this I hope your pain eases for you

Catherine21

Today is the day I stop sugar I've given up drinking and smoking few years now but replaced with soda and sweet stuff I really been looking into pineal gland and what causes it damage and you'd be amazed how it' being damaged effects us I cannot live with this constant gut ripping anxiety it's destroying me my fear is so bad it feels like bombs going off outside I'm that scared of life I've isolated myself as being around people makes me want to talk of my fears and makes it even more real to me as I relize no one can help me

Schildpad

I stopped buying sugar long time ago. I stopped drinking and smoking many manyYears ago. I have to stop the occasional sweet. Biscuits etc.. i only put cheap honey on my tea or coffee.. and would stop it as well. It is not difficult. But it is hard as everything has sugar but at least I don't buy it. coffee an tea will taste different but you get used to very quickly.

Schildpad

The centre more than a clinic.. I don't really want it butI have to try. Mental health is ruining my life. I struggle to carry on. I do not expect much from this what we call life.. and i hope i do not have to be staying in… still i am not sure if i will be accepted. but i have to try.

Schildpad

@xodza hope pain eases out.. i am also in a lot of pain sometimes medicine works sometimes does nothing.. i hope it works later on… i know what it is like.. in my case bad weather does not help…. and today is bad.

I understand I'm the same it's getting unbearable when will you go do you know

Schildpad

i hope you have some rest @Grumpy1314 . it is an awful feeling…. it does not happen to me a lot but i know .. last time i was sitting down on my bed like four times.. yes.. have some rest.

Schildpad

i buy dark chocolate and that is just about it. if i buy things like boxes of biscuits or any other stuff i will just eat them in one sitting…. so i try not to buy those and only have them when they offer them to me .. like in these places i am going.. dark shocolate is the best…the darker the healthier apparently.. but i just a square or two…. i try to control the unhealthy stuff.. even thought i sometimes eat it. the idea is if you do not buy it you do not eat it and eventually you do not miss it.. it happened with sugar. i do not miss it at all.

i love chocolate spread.. any brand and also ice cream but i fear if i buy it it will be gone in two days.. i know myself….

Hi everyone

I hope everyone is good

I’m sorry, I’ve been indulging my avoidance for the last 24 hours as I just assume the worst and that I will read something that will make me feel horrible. Then I saw I had a post from Albus and my mind said the worst again “oh no I’ve said something so bad that now admins are involved” even though he might have just mentioned me to say hi 😞

I avoided for so long there are now like 84 new posts and it’s overwhelming, so I’m going to just start reading from today but just wanted to say in case anyone thought I ignored a post for me and I’m so sorry for being too cowardly and selfish to read something that someone made the effort to write for me

I realise that’s ultimately unkind of me because I’m essentially assuming other people are unkind 🙁 it’s just an avoidance maladaptation

Anyway I’m having a good day today. I rushed to get ready for a gardening group I was going to go to then it was called off because of the rain so I’m here till like midday now 😊

Schildpad

@66Mustang i have the same feeling.. i had a message i do not recall seeing again.. and when some of my messages go on inspection i always fear the worse.

i always be there helping but also will always be honest.. if i am not ok why will i say i am ok .. that will be lying to myself. but i know the feeling. i always feel like i am doing something wrong. and i also do not trust people …. it is all unfounded and in my head but it is hard to change.

your gardening… if my back and leg were better, gardening would be something nice to do.. today is a nice day for the flowers and trees,, not so much for the rest… but still i have to go out today… need to calm down and relax…

@Schildpad

It's comforting to meet someone who gets similar but sorry to hear

I sometimes wonder if it's low self worth or not? Like in a way I'm expecting everyone to tread on egg shells around me as I must come across as incapable of accepting criticism, so like my self worth is too high? I do genuinely think I'm not good enough but sometimes I wonder if it's society that's the problem but that because I'm the minority it's easier for me to be the problem, in which case my sense of self-worth is too high, almost entitled

Where are you going out? I hope you get on ok 👍 I'll be thinking of you

Mary_Scope

Morning all 😄

Glad to hear your having a good day @66Mustang, have you got any other plans now that gardening group has been cancelled?

I read that before @Schildpad about the higher % cocoa in chocolate the better it is for, I've grown to enjoy 80% maximum but anymore % than that its inedible to me!

That sounds like quite a frightening experience @Grumpy1314, were you able to go back to sleep okay?

I hope your pain eases soon @xodza, how are you feeling now?

Apparently the big chewy medjool dates are a really good alternative to something sweet if you're really craving sugar @Catherine21 but good on you for trying to reduce the amount of sugar, how are you finding it so far?

Oh dear @Amberpearl, that bite sounds painful! Are you feeling okay?

Schildpad

I let people help me. Even ir I can do it myself.. I have terrible confidence problem. I keep looking for approval. I feel it is all due to my mental health. So I guess I can't do anything about it

About the chocolate is the same 100 per cent is just too bitter. Below 85.. is fine.. as I. Said.only sometimes and a square or two a day...

Mentally preparing for going out . I will try not to confront anyone and keep it quiet. I don't want what happened yesterday.... It is going to take time....

66Mustang

I'm off for another group at like 12.30 but think I have time for one more cup of tea 😂
