Hello @8KZTL7 , been thinking of you lots today 💖

@Dreamy It sucked at the time, but when you love someone you don't see the red flags and you'll find yourself making excuses for their sh1tty behaviour.

@Former-Member that's interesting 🙂 

@Former-Member @Dreamy it's been a bit over a week since i've last read a novel that i'm currently reading, and i'm only up to chapter 2...but it's a novel that really interests me and it even got recommended to me by a crisis supporter from lifeline i spoke to that time. it's a novel related to the different chronic conditions you get and how that all links to the traumatic and negative events you've experienced. i find it very interesting and eye-opening. 🙂

@Blackcloud Yeah my dad had IBS, originally I was diagnosed with IBS, then I noticed the symptoms eased off for a while when I went lactose free, then I came to the conclusion it was fat and grease that was irritating the IBS, now since being Gluten free and avoiding excessive fat and grease, I haven't had any IBS issues, even with skim milk, although if I have full cream milk it doesn't feel right in the tummy department.

[Dreamy]

@Blackcloud yeah it can affect everything, it's really not nice to have to deal with. Doing some of the e-training for the role you are going to violence volunteer at soon sounds like a good plan. Extending the leave so you can give yourself more time to prepare and move i think is a great idea. 

I don't have any plans but I do have a doctors appointment. 

[Dreamy]

@Former-Member ain't that the truth. Been there done that. Love really is blind.

@Former-Member i'm so sorry you went through all of that. i also remember a bit about the history with your family members that you told me about a while ago too.. you didn't deserve to go through all of that. sending you some virtual hugs mate ❤️

[Former-Member]

@Blackcloud awww thanks, even after all my family has done to me, I still help them out. admittedly often I'm half way thru helping them when it hits me and I feel like a sucker, being guilted into helping them.

[Blackcloud]

@Former-Member right yeah, i also find that consuming milk doesn't feel right for my tummy and my throat too, and that i benefit well from consuming a plant based alternative, especially oat milk. and i dont know how much you know about matcha, but everytime i drink matcha, it also gives me the IBS related poops that i then need to urgently go to the toilet with... 

@Dreamy i wish you a good luck with your doctors appointment for tomorrow my friend, you can do this ❤️

[Dreamy]

Thankyou @Blackcloud ♥️
