Hello and good morning folks. I am up early doing my ayurvedic practice, its called oil pulling and its a great remedy. You may have heard of it.  Have done it on and off for years.  Just did some blood irradiation this morning and will head off for another walk soon. My fasting blood sugar today was 5.4 - right in the healthy range. Got to keep it at this consistent level. Weight is still coming off. I am at 103kg which is good for someone on Z*****a, psychiatric medication known for extreme weight gain

Morning smiling gecko. That’s good you’re feeling good about yourself. And taking steps to improve your health with your chosen routine. *yprex* is that the medication?

@Former-Member from the other post I’m still on DSP but if you attempt to work they hold it for 2 years, just only close family know about it and tax agent

[MDT]

Yeah its going okay @Former-Member

Just thawing out in the sun atm. Went for a mini walk. Did some washing.
Gonna get brekky when I get back home then headed to psych this morning.

Will hang out with partner as housemate is away over weekend


Hows your pdoc going? Hope you don't mind me asking

I thought the past year would see me thrive, but it’s been a constant battle. People accusing me of being a druggie, slight discrimination, slight harassment all minor and trivial things, I’ve been noting it all down.. but instead of snitching and things have settled, my mind hasn’t and I need to change that for the future. it’s not easyyy

@Former-Member @MDT @TAB @StuF

Yes thats the medication. Its not great for women and associated weight gain, not so much for men @Former-Member 

I did not know about them holding DSP while you work. So youre not well enough to work anymore? I could not work myself and found it hard getting signed up to DSP. I'm glad I'm on it but theres no money on it really. I know its hard fitting in at work when you have a diagnosis. I used to do non supervised work when I had a job.  Non supervised is the best. I used to do cleaning, supermarket taste testings, and working as a leisure officer in an intellectual disability institution. I hardly had contact with anyone and could do my job avoiding discrimination.

@MDT @Enjoy your morning, mine will be slow as I’m home entire week.

pdoc he’s ok… not good not bad just ok.

might need a talk about meds.

is your pdoc to be seen indefinitely?

[MDT]

Take care friend and keep it real @Former-Member

[Former-Member]

Yeah you’ve said in the past the work you did, how long was your career @Former-Member ?

and that medication is the one a professor recommended for me but I just lost weight from 95kg to 66kg over a few years lol. SMH

.. you're winning just by working on its own @Former-Member  re 'thriving'.. bit like me thinking was going to buy some falling down dump of house and magically start rebuilding it with the only money I have left in the world..

Am way better off went for liveable place.

then thought oh will do this and that and bla bla, sister just said do way less , thought oh yeh shes trying to bring me down, thinks I'm poor ..

but its Reality. I'm old, its freezing at night, few minor electrical repairs had to get prob cost $500 etc etc 

So. its all good. and could not have done better. But was thinking yesterday. Well this is going nowhere in a hurry re all my plans for bathtubs and spas etc ha ha lol..... Patience ...
