Am Not Coping

[Owlunar]

Hi @utopia

I am so sorry you are still sick with the gastro thing - how bad it must be to not give you any time to get to the small room

How I hate sharing a bathroom - so glad I live alone - people can get soooooooooo indignant if you are in a hurry - whoops - terrible hurry and they are showering - or whatever people do in the bathroom and the loo just happens to be in the same room

Do you know what is causing all this because you can get medication that stops it - from the chemist - that I think is pure chalk and not likely to disturb anything else you are taking

Gosh - how damn bleak that is

I guess I don't have to tell you to eat food without any fat - like milk or fried anything -

Have you seen your doctor - I have missed a day so I am out of touch but I am sure you had something like this on Tuesday when I was last here

Aw - this is the pits

Thanks @Owlunar. Yes I was feeling better - so I ate some chips / crisps. Bad decision. I feel okay. I just wish I could eat more than dry crackers and toast.
@Zoe7 - good morning my friend. How are you this morning? Sorry if my post was a bit too 'yucky' - it was more that I wanted to give you a laugh.
I'm thinking about you and Toby and even Cat today.
Sending my love. ♥♥

Hi @utopia

Just remember those of us who are mothers have been there and seen it all - we have to grow cast-iron stomachs

Try eating some grated apple - take the skin off first - and it doesn't matter if it goes a bit brown - add some sugar - you probably need some sugar

And some canned two-fruits - or just canned peaches and pears - if you have them handy

You can have a little milk in your coffee - or eat low-fat yoghurt in small amounts

One bad thing about upset-tummies is dietary-boredom - terrible disorder to go with the worse disorder

Bad luck about the crisps - I love them too - and remember - salt - you need some salt - so I hope your crackers have some salt on them

Dec - just handy hints - I have used these myself in the past - not advice - you can try them or not and I will still love you - but forget the crisps for now

Aww - sounds so trying

@Owlunar. You might need to start a new thread called Dec's Handy Hints.
Yes the boredom and hunger for flavour. I really miss the flavours. But just wait til tomorrow. If I'm still a bit sick - I might start drooling over the Friday Night Feast posts. Lol.

Hi everyone - not up to doing much still - a bit more time and I'll check back in with you all maybe tonight 

@utopia It was a bit yucky but it did make me smile - your boy's comment even made me laugh  Exactly the same thing happened to me when I was in Mykonos - had white shorts on also and had to walk (rather quickly) back to the hotel over a kilometre away - jumper wrapped delicately around my waist - then straight in the shower fully clothed! Funny now - not funny then!!!!

@Phoenix_Rising Thankyou for the beautiful flowers - made me cry again today - but in a good way 

@Faith-and-Hope I see you have already started painting - looking good already  It may take me little longer to get started - not in the right headspace atm...

I can so relate to not being in the right headspace to paint @Zoe7 .... hoping to cheer you up a bit by starting mine .....

Hugs ..... 🤗❤️💕

Hope you're feeling better soon.

@Zoe7. You win. A 1km walk in a different country and wearing white shorts. Mortifying. But so funny now.
Yes my son has learnt the skill of the quick sarcastic comment. Definitely gets that from me.
Take your time. No rush to do anything today or tomorrow. Do whatever you need to do.
Just know that I am thinking of you and sending you my love. ♥♥♥
Tomorrow is a new day.

@Faith-and-Hope I love what you have already done ... and it did make me smile 

and @utopia

I am not doing so well but I will be ok. Yesterday was so much harder than I expected and has really affected me. It's not just being mentally drained but how physically affected I am - just need time to recover - a lot of resting (sleeping) and allowing the pain and memories to wash over me and pass. 

I did think it was going to be quite difficult but I did really underestimate how traumatising it would be for me again. I am not actually sure how much I can do atm and may just disappear without notice on here - so don't be alarmed if that happens - just me dealing with whatever is going on at that moment - still having a lot of flashbacks and can really be triggered by anything right now.

Thinking of you guys

Hope your day has been a good one

Zoe

I'm with you @Zoe7. You are not alone - ever. I'll be holding your hand anytime you need it. Take whatever time you need.
You are loved and you are valued here.
