🙃 have a fun time!!!

Starrlight, thank-you for your thought provoking posts. 🌈

Fasting reaps many benefits. I do intermittent fasting, which means that after my last meal of the day, usually around 3:30pm, I don't eat again for 16 hours. My GAD can cause stomach issues, as most of us here are well aware of. Waiting 16 hours helps to calm my digestive tract and means a better nights sleep.

You’re sweeeeet! Yes and it helps the body rest including the brain. Happy fasting!

Hi Starrlight, great question! I’m taking a long walk this morning. Exercise, fresh air, & visiting the great horned owl nesting in the town cemetery.🦉

Oh what a DAY! Seriously guys really?! I’m so done! Tears of sadness fists clenched with frustration and beautiful sweet laughter somehow but now I’m just so all over the place in emotion just so overwhelmed. I still have stuff to do today so I am allowing myself to flip off anyone who looks at me the wrong way today... it’s a way I can have control and get through this damned day. I’m stressed and if I have one person give me trouble they will get some back. I have social anxiety so I’m constantly worried someone will mess with me for the way I walk talk look speak whatever or for no reason at all and today is a really bad day to try me... so first I’ll picture myself in a protective light and If that doesn’t work I’ll be flipping people off. It might not solve all the problems or make all the friends but it will make me feel better.

Whatever it takes for you to get through the rest of the day.....Do it!💗

Think to myself that I should be kind but after a day like today as the tears start rolling down again it’s like come on I need a little something here, you know!? And then I get a little something and I still am stressed to the max .. now what ? you know? I have a 7:50 pm appointment and I’m already so done. I keep breaking down. I hate this day. I do have therapy at 4:00 that could help.
