    Morning All,

    I was asleep in bed before 8 last night. Joy of joys my stomach decided to explode so again waking up struggling to breathe due to burning throat and then having to use both inhalers again. Think I’ll be going back to sleep, got to love sleeping sat up most of the time.

    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 😊

    @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

    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?

    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....

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

    I was typing a.message and it disappeared even before sendng. The iwebsite should save in.draft..

    Anyways. I was out and came back ...I always dread people will try take my letters and open them. Why I always feel like that. It is like a constant fight... I hate it... ..

    I feel like staying at home bit I hate home as well...I feel like in a trap. I am bidding for properties but I got so close on one. Because they put it in the system late and had so few bids. And I lost it not even a chance to see it. I do not think I will be that closed ever. I am devastated because it means I will have to stay here ....and it will be years..

    Afternoon all, I've been slacking today and doing lots of courses online. I hope everyone's doing ok now. ❤️

    For @Schildpad and anyone else who gets bothered by it, maybe @Catherine21

    Could you try getting into the habit of writing your longer posts on a word processor or notepad…then copy and paste them onto the forum when you're ready to send it?

    It seems clunky and time consuming but I grew up with dodgy internet so it's just 2nd nature to always type stuff out in a program thats on MY computer, not in the web somewhere … the message box isn't for working on your draft as basically it's not stored on your computer, and so if there's a hiccup anywhere, it's all lost, as you've found out

    I use a computer, maybe a bit more awkward if you're on a phone, but still workable

    @66Mustang thank you . You gave me idea.. probably send it to my email. And then it is always safe......but it is happening too often so that might work...

    Just so everyone's aware, the messages are triggering a keyword filter we are now using to comply with the Online Safety Act. So messages are not disappearing, they're just not in the public view until we manually ok them for release. It can be very frustrating, we totally understand that, even our comments can trigger the filter. By typing out a comment again, it will still get caught if it contains the same words that triggered the filter previously. So it's best just to write one comment, then wait for one of the team to release it, or if it contains content we can't allow, we'll send you a private message to explain why.

    It will say if the comment has been caught as it'll have a small pop up in the corner saying "Your discussion will appear after it is reviewed" for a few seconds after you hit the post button.

    Hope that helps. 😊
