How is your day going?

HAPPY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOOOOOON! ❤️

The weather this week has been crazy, everything from snow, to wind storms and today bright sun and clear skys!

@Lisatho11987777 I haven't seen your name is foreverrrr, how are you doing??

Have they rearranged your cardiology thing @MrHappy? I second Chris' suggestion of food deliveries! Although I'm similar to you @Chris75_ and forget to do them sometimes and have very empty cupboards for a few days!! Did you get your delivery sorted??

@xodza I much prefer the cold to the heat but it does seem to take more money - I don't even use heating but I seem to eat more when it's cold and things like drying clothes costs as I can't do it outside and so on. How are you??

@Amberpearl you're in sunny scotland aren't you?? Sorry if I misremembered!! Is it very cold up there?

Oooh I do love a hot water bottle @Mijuka!! Especially snuggled up on the sofa! More for the comfort than the heat, I like the pressure of them!

Sending you lots of warm thoughts @Schildpad! Mine has been terrible for some time and particularly bad these last few weeks, can't seem to quiet the noise in my head! How you doing today? Is there anything specific you are feeling anxious about? Talking about it can help a bit (even if I never take my own advice lol)

How are you doing @Strawberry1?? I hate that flat feeling and hope you're not still feeling it today!!

Medication in general leads to other symptoms. There is no win win situation. My meds are messing everything else and they are not really helping my mental health.. considering withdrawing from them but the system wants you in medication. I am thinking a more natural approach but I am not sure how my GP will react. But I do not feel much improvement...

My anxiety is bad and it is hard to be understood and to live with this irrational fear.. it is constant and I can't relax. Also depression etc.. future is so scary but I try not to think about it. But the media is there to remind you. I am scare they might at any moment stop the benefits they want to save money by punishing the poor and not the wealthy..

i have been on medication for many years… different medications for the same things… so maybe 12 or more years… it is not good to keep on medication.. i think i probably should not be in medication at all. but i am not sure what it is like to be in no medication.. i was in the past and it does not work either. but that was like 15 years ago or so. and i was working … i believe working keeps your mind away from everything but working while sick is not a good idea.. i just do not know what to do… i feel i might need medication for the liver stomach .. who knows..

they hate it because that will destroy their jobs. it is proven many things would work. so they will just say do not.. if natural medicine helps why are the doctors for etc.. but it is a pity that they want to destroy the reputation of natural medicine. it is a business.. they get paid to give you certain medicines i am sure about it.

for blood thinners spices are good. like ginger and turmeric… but check they do not counteract certain medications.

i know grapefruit or any citrus juice stops medication working.. it is bizarre but it is true.

it does not have to be a natural medication.. just see if having certain spices works..

in my case i am trying everything… my hair was falling like crazy.. i now put castor and rosemary oil and then wash it after a few hours or even after leaving it overnight. and it works. it does not fall that much and every time is stronger.. so i will keep using it..

medication are drugs… and as drugs we are hooked on them..

i can not be bothered to eat at times but the food we eat also helps with the recovery progress but i just can not be bothered . i eat to survive.

@Biblioklept my anxiety is triggered by everything. i have to stop reading the papers that might help. but noises etc.. i seem to be on the edge all the time. i really have to calm down. but it is hard. right know i feel anxious because i have to order my medication again and i am feeling the pharmacy will start putting faces etc.. i hope they just say yes and move on. but yes tomorrow i have to go an order it. they give me medication for three months so i do not have to worry but i hate being in medication as i do not see much improvement..

I consider this year a change. Medication is doing more harm than good. I will see ..
