Evenings do seem to go slower when it gets dark.earlier @outlander hope that your pain eases a little

 

Re: Carers under 30...

Re: Carers under 30...

Ouch @outlander  sounds painful. What happened?

 

Pottered about today - bit of housework,  bit of gardening, bit of work, walked the dog, made tea, sorted some photos, now getting ready for bed.

Re: Carers under 30...

Im pretty sure i done it yesterday but because i was so busy and occupied i hadnt noticed it was alot of walking around but the grounds were more like sand so was abit uneven. My feet and hips are generally  abit unstable so ive probably stepped wrong and pulled it sometime  during the day. Ive been using  some heat packs and muscle creams but will rest it abit more for a few days. If it doesn't  ease ill get it checked and make sure it doesnt need any other treatment 

 

Sounds like an easy going day for you. Tomorrow is looking  abit quieter for me thankfully. @Former-Member

Re: Carers under 30...

Always something to do @outlander , I look around at our place and wonder how people can keep their places so clean and tidy. I just can't get the knack of efficient house cleaning. Any hoo, must get some shut eye. 

I think of you lots, even though we haven't chatted so much.

Re: Carers under 30...

@Faith-and-Hope would i be able to talk to you about eating disorders but only if it wont trigger you?

Re: Carers under 30...

Sure @outlander, if there is anything I can help you with ....

Re: Carers under 30...

i would really appreciate it @Faith-and-Hope but no pressures either.
I think i have and ED, i mentioned it once to my nurse but i havent felt ok to mention it again. i spoke to the butterfly foundation in one of my overwhelming urges for this ed and they said it would be a good idea to talk to my nurse but im to scared to do that. I dont really know what to do, but over the past few weeks its gotten worse. i thought i mightve been able to work through it but i dont think i can. i dont want it to affect other people around me

Re: Carers under 30...

I understand @outlander, and I am glad you are thinking about what you can do to get some support around this.  Well done.  It’s not easy to reach out and start asking the questions, but it is important to beginning to feel better about yourself.

 

Rather than trying to ask you for details, because I know some particular words are considered triggers and are not permitted on the forums (from writing about my hubby’s ed, and family food issues), I think it would be better for you to speak with ed support services some more.

 

Yoi could call Butterfly Foundation back and you would likely get a different counsellor, or you can try these people - (there is a comprehensive list of services across the states

of Australia)

Most will have online chat or an email form available if that’s easier for you.

 

Sometimes it can be about food issues or disordered eating, rather than an eating disorder, so it is worth asking the questions to find out Hon.  Just the fact that it is troubling you means it’s worth doing something about, because peace of mind about these things is important too.

 

This is not a brush-off, by any means, so keep talking here if you need to, and I will answer whatever I can.
