Usually I'm all over helping everyone else. But this morning I feel about as unsettled as one can. I think I made a mistake in trying to change a few things in my diet. I reduced the amount of potassium I've been taking in and that's bad. My disorder causes me to lose potassium, sodium & to have low sugar reactions when it's fairly low. That leaves me jittery and nervous and downright anxious.
I'm working on it right now but, some kind words and some sympathy would be appreciated.
Thanks, JEG325

I love music nearly as much as writing. I feel too jittery to write. But, maybe I'll try it anyway. I'll probably write some gloomy sad poem but, it'll still be like venting in rhyming verse...Thanks for the idea!
writing gloomy poems can help as well as after you write them you can reflect on the words.its the things you usually don't want to be feeling so hopefully it can trigger change for the better.
Working n it now, k. In this kind of mood, I don't worry about rhyming, I just say whatever I feel. I usually feel better and happier anytime I complete a poem. Awesome idea!
After every difficulty comes ease and I wish you ease to come soon. I know how that feels to be unsettled, anxious. You can do this. Have you tried deep breathing or meditation?
I should have known the same two people who originally welcomed me in a year ago would come to my rescue. I recommend the deep breathing exercises to nearly everyone. I'm a poor self patient, though. I'm listening to music. That's helping me relax some. I love my music and singing along is helpful and uplifting. Hearing your kind 'voice' is tremendously helpful too! I started with you guys at the beginning and one day I might end with you guys, too. Thanks for responding, S!
Aww I’m glad the music is helpful. I wish there was something I can do. Sometimes we just have to ride it out the best we can and your effort will eventually pay off. Listen to your body. Blessings to you.
J, you know I think you’re a great person and it bothers me that I can’t wave a magic wand and take away your struggles. I understand being jittery, nervous and downright anxious. This, to shall pass. And in the meantime be gentle with yourself. Hugs from me to you. Lynne
That meant a whole lot to me, Lynne, Coming from one of my best friends, a little sympathy goes a long, long way. Sometimes I just need some friendly voices to tell me that they care and everything will be alright. If Sue were awake that's what she would do....Thank's my really, really good friend!
I'm sorry you are feeling anxious and jittery this morning. I know from your many posts you have a lot of insight and are an inspiration to others. I pray your day gets better.
That was an awesome thing to say and much appreciated. It made me feel a little better. I know I'll be okay but, sometimes a little reassurance and a few kind words helps a whole lot!
I'm a bad self patient, D14....But I am drinking some OJ. I am listening to some perky music that I occasionally sing along with. Yes, I am a poet and I write a lot of stuff. i even have small writing group. Lynne recently joined it and is helping me organize our stuff, Your kind voice was especially well received. Thanks for you kind words! (I don't drink coffee though....
This is a serious problem, and I am sure you will work just as hard solving it as you have in helping me with my issues. Remember that time has, as it always does, a way of making us realize what is important. Even with this, you still have that that wonderful lady that understands you, and a community that also loves you and understands what you go through.
That almost brought tears to my eyes, Tom. I'm glad I helped you and yet sometimes I feel helpless because all I can do is go through trial and error trying to help myself. The doctors have no idea on how to treat my disorder, yet would pump me full of dangerous drugs to try and use conventional methods to treat me. I have this problem mostly contained with just occasional minor flare ups. But, I am gaining weight so, I tried to cut back on my diet. But, the way it's designed less food & lees orange juice = less potassium. That can cause me problems in a hurry.
Oddly enough, my potassium, sodium & sugar level will always test out normal. Conventional tests do not show cellular interactions concerning these minerals and other things that affect me. So, the doc says I'm normal and I keep right on suffering. It really is frustrating! But, thanks for your kind words of support and help. I needed them!

Lots of kindness coming your way from me 🌻🌹🌻🌹🌻🌹🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️
Aww J I so feel for you....why did you change your diet? I'm here with everything crossed that this passes real soon for you..in the meantime....you'll always be in my heart...forever!
Here's a little joke for you...What did the ghost say to the bee? Boo-Bee!!!
Yepper doodles you could use some dump trucks filled with groovy love, peace, light, joy and hugs!
You made me smile. That's extra awesome, L. Normally I would send you a jumbo jet's worth of hugs and love back. Hope you don't mind if I keep a few extra of them this morning, though. Thanks for being my friend!
You can keep them all...I've told you many a time..I have plenty to give away... Hang in there...like my loving mom always said...This too shall pass....here's to feeling better real fast...I feel for you my friend...no fun for you to be going through this...one day we'll get all the answers....in the meantime...play your tunes....always good for a bit of a pick me up, right?
Dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy and hugs!
I love music just as much as you and Alan do. My peppy, perky pop/top 40 dance music has been keeping me going this morning. It makes me smile, hum and sing along....God, Sue, my friends, music, writing and reading + H/U make my world 'go round, Especially good friends like you!
I'm with you and Alan also..where would we be without music..well I know I'd be lost...have it on most of my days...so yes play it and get to feeling better my friend!
Here's a little tune for you....one of my favorites also...XOXOXO
Oh dear JEG this isn't like you and I am sad you are feeling so out of sorts. if you lived nearer I would keep you so busy with housework you would be too exhaused to do anything but sleep! Eat a banana x
I'm drinking OJ. It's working along with my night vitamins, water & food. The company and response was awesome. That includes you too, my awesome friend. For a while I wasn't sure whether I was coming or going! Thanks for the kind words, They are very greatly appreciated. If I was at your house I would volunteer to do your housework!
Hi JEG325. How are you doing now friend? Hope all this love you are getting & jamming out is helping. I know listening to music I love helps me a bit... remind me of happier times. I know taking in the beauty of the outdoors helps me ... even if it's being on your porch. Find something beautiful to focus on & ease your breathing. Sending a ton of love & hugs your way.💛
Thanks MB, the support I got this morning helped a ton. I am just now getting my potassium level back to normal. When I was at my worst, several of these crashes sent me to the hospital. But, this one wasn't quite that severe. Thank you for responding my friend. We should talk more or pm once in awhile. Right?
Hi JEG325. Hope you & Sue are doing well. Sorry, I needed a little break... though I know it's not good, I close myself off. Should reach out to my friends here more... they get it. So, yes we should talk more.🖐
I agree. I just returned from a long shopping run at Walmarts. My sweetie and I left around 1:15am and didn't return until 3:15. It took 20 minutes to put everything away!
Indeed not. I'm heading off to bed now because my vitamin sleeping stuff is kicking in and I can barely keep my eyes open....Thanks for responding, N. The help I got this morning was awesome! That includes you too!
