@graoumia That sounds so amazing! I've been to France once - Just Paris back in 2011, but I did get to see the beauty of Southern France on a train... I'd love to go back someday. And hugging Cooper is the BEST feeling.

So my new meds are for my ADHD to help me focus. A coworker mentioned being on this medication as she pointed out snacking less while on them, since she wasn't eating as much out of boredom. I figured a good way to treat my weight could also be treating my ADHD. It's... Gonna take time to adjust.

1,135 - Calf raises, power squats!

ZORO WORKOUT - https://darebee.com/workouts/world-breaker-workout.html#sets I did this! Level one of it. I only let myself do level one due to my awful shoulders. LEt's see how I feel tomorrow.

525 - Few minutes of meditation here and there!

Good thing - Cool Fish had chill day. Now I sleep early. Gotta work!

Cooper status - Fluffy boy was given a big hug today because I love him a lot. Shelties are so damn sweet.

Yay for banishing toxic relationships out of your life! This is a difficult step to take.
Recovering is really hard, and especially in the moment it can be hard to tell that you've made progress, that only becomes apparent when you look back at how bad things were.
And if it doesn't feel safe yet to explore just how bad you felt before, it's okay to put it off for a little longer and just keep working on present you <3

Also I hope your meds are not driving you up the wall anymore. if that doesn't go away, these may just not be the right ones for you.
You deserve better than to be in constant deep discomfort from a things that is supposed to help you :hug:


Also yummy yummy ramen :eatall:

@Maegaranthelas Well... I'll explore more when I'm used to my meds - My mom pointed out me being very hyperactive when I got home last night, but I can assume that this is also due to me being emotionally kind of odd recently. I'm okay, I just, uh.

I don't want to mention it now since I may jinx something.

IF IT HAPPENS IT'LL BE GOOD SO DON'T WORRY LET'S JUST HOPE THINGS ARE GONNA WORK OUT THE WAY I WANT 'EM TO

1,141 - A lot of walking! Did the mall Pokemon go route too!

531 - Untimed again, we be chilling.

Good thing - Cool Fish had chill day. Got to do some shopping. See some buds.

Cooper status - Fluff man loves you. And he got a helper piece of hamburger tonight!

The different types of ADHD meds affect each person differently. I hope that these stabilize and work out for you. When I take my meds, I do notice when they wear off because I can feel the unfocus and the hyperactivity return. Maybe some of the extra hyperactivity could be attributed to that? But I am with Maegaranthelas, if they are still making you feel weird and anxious, they might not be the right ones for you or might be unbalanced in the dosage.

I hope your something good goes that way. 🤞

I'm lucky enough not to have needed a colonoscopy yet, but I do get 'intestinal dismotility', where your insides just kinda don't move stuff along.
When it's my stomach, ginger and massaging just below the ribs can help.
For bowels, magnesium supplements (or bananas), fibre intake, hydration, enough movement, and massage are things that help manage the issues.
I know where my issues come from, but if you think you're pretty good when it comes to fibre, exercise, and hydration and still have issues, I would definitely advise talking to your doctor about it :heartsit:

Bowel are kinda important for our survival, so we shouldn't neglect bowel health :)
