redkite Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Quick update. Magnesium supplements seem to be working well and have cut WD down particularly the ear ringing but it is all pretty hard. New therapist is great but parents managed to make me feel " its not working" on my birthday!!!! They both take antidepressants!!!!! and have done for 40 years!!! Anyway still struggling with life and massive anxiety but it feels like the norn now. Want to do another little cut within the next few weeks and am hoping that now I am on magnesium it may be easier... hope so. Very sad about the world and the killing of the environment and all it holds because the rich want stuff!!!! Wish more people would feel able to challenge the" haves" and their never ending need to consume..... everything( food, cars, housing, cloths,....just everything) Feel angry and sad most of the time but do have openings that are beautiful. just need to keep that at the forefront of my mind in order to continue moving in the right direction. Feel truly awful today. Body all achy and hurting and very dizzy hope its not covid again as that was truly terrible last time. Looking forward to be able to cut again and see my nails grow!!!!! these meds do lots of harm including having a negative effect on my nails!!!! Hoping that maybe the awful morning panic will go once the meds are reduced. I think that will do for today.

Hi Redkite, Just quick check in as I am going to be taking a break from the site for a while as I am finding it a bit triggering. Don't worry about your parents. People unfortunately are limited by their own experience/blinkers etc. I had plenty of that from my own parents too - i.e. blame the therapist. If you feel she is helping you I'd just go with that for the mo'. Oh yes haha - I have had those 'birthdays' too. It's good that the magnesium is working for you. It is 'pretty hard' though - you're right. On 3/8/2024 at 10:48 AM, redkite said: Anyway still struggling with life and massive anxiety but it feels like the norn now. 'Withdrawal normal' I think they call it here (BrassMonkey). I know the feeling. On 3/8/2024 at 10:48 AM, redkite said: Very sad about the world and the killing of the environment and all it holds because the rich want stuff!!!! Wish more people would feel able to challenge the" haves" and their never ending need to consume..... everything( food, cars, housing, cloths,....just everything) I feel the same as you. I didn't always feel like that and used to be someone who wanted loads of 'stuff' . I know you are limited with your data plan but there's a guy on Youtube called Daniel Schmactenberger who does a lot of talks on what you've written above. He's a bit verbose - goes on a lot - but sometimes it can make you feel less alone to listen to someone who thinks similarly. I remember years ago...we got salmon from the river every summer (it was wild and able to spawn then and not over fished); it's been gone for years now. Our 'green' party encourage the rich to consume more - loads of rich people here went out and bought enormous electrically powered tanks while people with little money drive old petrol cars because they can't afford to upgrade are penalised. The rich can afford to retrofit their houses while the poor cannot and the Greens now want to stop the poor using their own bogs for peat even though they can't afford to heat their houses any other way. All the while the po faced self righteous rich/greens live cosseted lives. I know that sounds contradictory in that I'm opposing the pro nature party but they are so stupid that they can't see how ordinary people (particularly) outside the capital live and how so many of them are struggling. My feeling is I would like to donate my own body to nature, bonemeal for the trees and the hedges but there is no way I'd ever donate my organs for our species.

Feel truly awful today. Body all achy and hurting and very dizzy hope its not covid again as that was truly terrible last time I hear you there but hold on to those small moments that are beautiful - I saw a rainbow yesterday (it was heavy rain most of the day) and I am planting my hedge - even though it rains I stay outside most of the day. In my view what you have done for your garden and the natural world means you are worth 1000 times more than any useless vain veneered restylane pumped social influencer. They are a symptom of what is wrong with this world - posing in fast fashion that will go straight to landfill; using all their time to work solely on their appearance to make money to buy more stuff and have more surgical stuff done to themselves. When they are dead their silly plastic little bodies won't even decompose properly (full of artificial compounds). They may be in the mainstream but they are worthless toxic dross and it says something about us as a species that we would worship someone like Kim Kardashian and people who emulate her. Age will come to them too and it is already proving too much for many of them as they are obsessing over lines in the early 20's - silly little idiots. But it can be lonely if you don't think like that in a world where most do. I hope you come through the dizziness and the body aches - I use lots of massage balls and find tai chi really good for pain. Think on the good you are doing for the environment with what you are doing in your garden. That's all I think on now. The world didn't want me at all - I failed at everything but if I can do something for nature by planting stuff and helping biodiversity that means that I did something worthwhile - look at all the wonderful stuff you did in your garden with your pond - giving the remaining living creatures a refuge and you own it outright so it can't be taken off you - that is a massive achievement - I would love to own my own nature reserve. Keep on hanging on - the natural world (what's left of it) needs you.

redkite Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Quick update. magnesium continues to keep WD to a minimum. Weird virus contracted turned into viral inflammatory arthritis which had been awful but did meet new Dr who is young, lovely and supportive so that's a plus!!! Going forward it will mean she will be onboard with liquid prescription and up to date re WD!!!! So thats a plus. Virus keeps changing shape and today it is sore throat, headache and tiredness..... so very similar to covid but less potent....... I hope!!!!

I Hi Redkite, I am very sorry to hear the viral inflammatory arthritis but I looked it up and saw that it is like a viral infection and is meant to disappear after a while. I hope that it has abated now. I hope you took the time to rest up and look after yourself - I find soup good for viral illness.
