Hello @Bow , @Eve7 , @Peregrinefalcon xoxo

Here for you xx 

[Bow]

thanks @Shaz51 @Peregrinefalcon @Eve7 

I had comm mh visit a little while ago. I always take them down into my room so I can have a little bit of privacy to talk. The lady talked so loud. Straight up asked me if I was having any SI. Pretty sure the whole house would of heard. Then proceeded to ask if I had any plans etc. i was not honest. How could I when she talked so loud. 

she was understanding of my ED though. Appeared to have some experience. Asked whether I’m eating, drinking, physical signs and whether I get my bloods checked. It’s hard when my ED is so loud.

Hey @Bow 

Its good that they visited and appeared to understand ed.

I’m sorry she was so loud that must have been really unsettling. Maybe you could mention that to your case manager.

I hope this afternoon is ok for you hon.

💙🦋🤗🦋💙

Thanks @Eve7 

ive just finished mowing the back lawns. Probably shouldn’t of, with the way I am feeling, I’ve had some scary moments today. But it needed to be done, it was so long. Folks are going to buy a new mower tomorrow and then I will do the front lawns.  Responsibility falls on me to get them done. Step dad can’t and my mum can’t either really. It’s a shitty situation. I’m left to do a lot of the physical stuff around the house despite everything. 😩

Hey @Bow 👋😁

That's shitty to have it all fall on your shoulders! I hope those scary moments have passed for now. Do you have much else on for the afternoon?

@Jynx  Hello 🙂

I use to hate mowing the lawns. But think my ED uses it as an excuse to push myself even more. And it ‘needs’ to be done. 

i still don’t feel ok. Scary moments still there when I get up. Hopefully if I can manage some dinner it will help maybe?

My D and I will go for our evening stroll later. It’s pretty warm here still. Let it cool down a bit.

@Bow  Hope you didn't go too hard in the hot. Better today though than tomorrow, I think it will be a lot hotter.

Dinner would definitely help, if you're feeling feint. And then maybe go for your walk after so the ED doesn't get too mean about you having some food?

Hopefully there will be a lovely sunset tonight and you can go strolling to enjoy it 💜🌇

I pay someone to mow my lawn and I have an electric thing to carve meat @Bow 

How to live without a man!!

Sorry you had to do that today when you’re unwell xox
