confessions of little turtle with love

what is working for you...what is not working....lets get down to the nitty gritty..

what is working for me...talking with other persons about life...

Little turtle, please don't be sorry. At least your recommendation helped me. I have been trying to exercise since y'day and watching my diet too. As you know I m a bit depressed and restless nowadays.
So thanks little turtle.

If there was something else you would like to recommend that may help me?

omega-3...............

can I try cod liver oil?

I don't know...please look up dr joseph hibbeln [omega-3]...
he is a go to guy...

Little turtle, your suggestion helped me, don’t be sorry

As you know, I can’t take the freakin meds which are endlessly recommended everywhere, and pushed by doctors (sometimes after a two minute conversation )

Also talking about life, without patronising “pat” and cliched “solutions” .... or invalidating my valid experiences (Not from anyone here......) helps me too

Thanks.. I’ll try anything that isn’t those freakin meds those doctors try to push on me... sure my mind needs them but I won’t pay the “price” .. my body won’t tolerate them. I don’t know what part of that the doctors can’t understand

My body won’t tolerate the meds.

Is that clear? Apparently not

Thank you little turtle

Hi Fuzzybear, just wondering if you've had bloodwork done to see if you have a vitamin or hormone deficiency. If you have low thyroid, Vitamin D, or iron, it can cause depression. You can take supplements to fix the deficiency. They usually don't have physical side effects.

Thank you for this space little turtle where we are allowed to speak our TRUTH

I was silenced by abusers in my childhood. I won’t be silenced now.

I “cope” with severe depression, anxiety, CPTSD.

It’s no freakin picnic.

But I will not take oral steroids for severe eczema on my face induced by psych meds!

I’m very happy for the vast majority who are helped by psych meds.

I’m “unfortunate” in that I can’t take them

And thanks a bunch to the abusive therapist who called me “unfortunate” and a whole list of other disparaging comments, because his ego was bruised as I
hadn’t “progressed” fast enough to FEED him

And if I could find a way to exit this world without hurting those few who care I would !

Hi, I have had bloodwork done a while ago. I think that all the things you mention were “normal” Thanks for the suggestion, I might try to ask the doctor again for a blood test But it probably won’t be for a few months at least (I avoid doctors as much as I can )

thanks fuzzy....this is so important that we know the TRUTH about ourselves
even tho it can be painful..

Hi little turtle
I’m so tired of all the bad things that happen in this world

I agree.. I hope I know the truth about myself, as much as I can as a human

I don’t understand this world though. Too much cruelty and sadness

Maybe those smart *** people who called me “weak” and “needy” were “right”

I find being put down like that hurtful and hateful

But maybe I’m not for this world

we all have weakness...
we all have needs...
that is normal...
what is not a good norm
is being hurtful to others..
I like----do no harm

I completely agree little turtle

I wonder ..

Am I a “good person” - yes

Am I “motivated”? .....

Motivated to “do” what?

The last time I had a routine (medical) “test” it made things a million times worse. In fact this has happened to me twice now. Scary Stuff.

But it isn’t life threatening

it is scary...

You mean the lab reports were scary?
The last time I had my labs done they hurt me - while drawing out the blood and also while doing some smear. I almost screamed out. It was really awful. Such incompetent people.

lab tests...scary...yes...
one of the most scary-----fasting blood glucose...
just saying that makes me want some ice cream
