Well, I'm actually not the one allowing her to live her; I still live with my mother and her boyfriend. Like I said, my sister has a lot of mental health issues as well. We, as a family, are really concerned for the unborn child; I mean, she is two and a half months pregnant, but she only weighs 110 pounds (and she is about 5 ft., 8 in.). We want to make sure she can keep herself healthy(ish) and at least feeling a little more secure. She was with her husband from the time they were juniors in high school; and hell, it's even more devastating because he was one of the few people who was laid back enough to deal with all of her issues without going a little insane himself. I know that, with the pain I have felt since he died...... well, I would imagine that it would be, like, a million times worse for her since they were married. My mom is trying to put up with the stress the best she can, too; it's just that, because I am over 4 years younger than her (and the fact that I don't "fight back" or get as outwardly aggressive), I am an easy target. My mom is hardly home because she is working two jobs, so she doesn't witness it as much... but from what she does see, even she is shocked at the ferocity of it (I have been putting up with being the target of my sister's shenanigans for the past 8 years, since she was a teen. I never felt that my mom understood exactly WHAT it was I was up against. Therefore, when my sister flew off the handle at me- AGAIN- the other day, for mistakenly using her body wash, I was happy when my mother FINALLY acknowledged it. It may sound kinda strange that I was a little happy at hearing "Geez.... if this is what you were putting up with for so long, it's no wonder that you want a little crazy". It was a joke, but it was somehow still comforting.)
Anyways, back on topic. As to what I can keep down, it really doesn't seem like much of anything. Maybe something dry, like tortilla chips or baked chips; and it seems as though the only meat I can eat is chicken. I know that Subway and baked chips isn't much of a healthy diet lol. Well, at least today at lunchtime at the treatment center, I managed to eat a slice of pizza before I felt like I was gonna be sick (YAY!!! ). Supper tonight for me was Subway... but now I feel like I'm gonna be sick again (even though I ate that close to five hours ago already ). I just wish I could go without eating; however, I'm a Type 2 diabetic and am not on medication, and I have been told (repeatedly) that I should be eating regularly in order to control my A1C levels (I have had a problem with eating in public for a few years now, so I just tend to avoid eating in any place where there are people other than family members around. I even avoid eating at family functions too, sometimes- depending on how many people are there and how well I know them. I actually was diagnosed with an EDNOS because of that fact.... as well as a few other factors). I also have hypothyroidism, which my doctor told me it was even more important to eat a well-balanced diet, because my body has such a hard time processing food and nutrients.
Anyway, I have an appointment scheduled to get blood-work done this coming Wednesday; and then an appointment for an actual physical on Monday the 7th. I will be sure to ask my GP if there is anything she can give me for nausea, or anything medication-wise that could be causing the problem. I hope that we can figure SOMETHING out, before I start experiencing REALLY serious complications.
