@ENKELI I’ve had a hot shower, taken all my meds. Forgot to brush my teeth 🪥 rolls eyes. . . I’m back into bed.
Sugar cravings. Sauna is the only answer.
Sweat eliminates excess cortisol. Once you push past the panic response and get that those nice reward hormones and then the Human Growth Hormone kicks in after 20+ minutes.

Retiisi, we have to build you a sauna. @PeppyPatti can you sew sauna hats? They have to be made of 100% wool felt.

@Glisten I hope you have slept well and woken to a joyful Tuesday before you read this.
Yes, I need a sauna. I just checked the shire aquatic centre and the cheapest option is $56 a month just to use the sauna. I can't do that dang it.
Another reason I need to see my GP and discuss DSP. My we*ght is starting to affect my depression. I've never been as heavy as I am now and I am beginning to lose hope that I will become a functioning member of society.
I'll have to have a yard sale to make room for sauna. Lol, maybe that will give me incentive.

@TAB am hoping your message about NDIS might also be directed at me Tabby. I am going to see my GP and find out what it takes to get onto DSP, because then I will be able to access NDIS I hope.
