The Couch - Cent Dix (110): A Little Bit of Everything, A Whole Lotta Nothing

I am looking for an herbal/natural supplement that should increase appetite. Any ideas?

Already tried selenium and fish oil. Nothing doing.

I'm not looking to bulk up. I'm just tired of not being able to eat a full meal.

Youve had your heart and your ovaries checked?

Wine, apple cider vinegar, medical maijuana?

Do you not have interest in food/not get hungry?

Or do you get full very fast once you start eating?

Suggestions would depend on the answer

The second one - full very fast.

Any other symptoms? Pain? Nausea? Leg cramps? Anything?

And I mean. I assume some doctor has taken Clxrays PR something??? Scoped stomach?

Lower abdominal pain. More leg cramps than usual, but I suspect I'm dehydrated, and they're not that consistent. Negative x-rays and ultrasound. Was supposed to have several scopes done last month, but developed a fear of surgery last year, so couldn't go through with them.

I actually feel fine except for pain and too little appetite.

Wrong? Probably not. Uncomfortable and confusing with the risk of crying I suppose. I normaly don't even think about it unless I have an appointment of some sort on the day.

Not usually. I try to actively forget unless i have an appointment or something that day.

My allergies suck!!!! (using this emoticon because that is what my eyes are doing right now - ugh)

Consider trying L-carnitine 2 capsules twice a day
You could also try D ribose. For some people the ribose upsets the stomach though

hubby started coloring eggs it was kind of fun and a good distraction for a bit

Granite you and me, girl. I'm making a new to me deviled egg for tomorrow at work, bacon cheddar nomnomnom. I let the little help peel them (we're keeping those at home!) and later I have to stuff them. Taking a break for a minute, my back is screaming at me for standing up too long. Have fun with your eggs!

Spent the weekend visiting family. It occurs to me that, while I love them very much, my family are incredibly passive aggressive and very wearing to be around...

Hey couch! I have a funny story. I rendered my hubby speechless for a moment, which is no mean feat. We went out to eat at our favorite local mexican restaurant (good food, very good prices!) and one of the specials today is the "3 way chimichanga". I said "I think I'll try the 3-way" when I ordered. Hubby (trying to embarrass me) says loudly as the waitress walks away "Whoa, YOU want to try a 3 way? Where's my little black book?" To which I replied, not embarrassed in the least, "Sorry dear, you're too late. I already have." And I grinned this huge grin at him. He sat there not knowing what to say. It was perfect!!

My brother sent me some more old pictures! I do not remember this at all, I must have been maybe 3? It was a weekend with my grandparents. I was even way back then, my happiest self when outside! Look at what a cutie little Art was!

That's a beautiful picture!! You look so happy and so cute. I'm my happiest when I'm outside too!!

It's almost 11:00 here. I'm not going to flip out like I did Saturday night. Please forgive me for that! It was a hard place to be in.

I just need to talk.

My session time was tonight. I feel like I was a passenger. I remember some of it. The most important part I remember is sharing that I felt like I had hit a plateau. A hard place. Alone. Trying to figure out what was going on. My counselor shared with me that he had been on a real plateau before. He said it was beautiful. It had just rained and there were flowers sprinkled through the grass. That changed the whole perspective of a plateau. Now it feels like a beautiful place to hang out for a while and sort things out. Kind of like a safe place in my mind. There was a calmness when I saw that in my mind.

My h usually "sharks" me when I get home from a session. Kind of walking around looking at me, like he's trying to figure out what's going on in my mind. Tonight I thought I would be open and share that with him. I thought he would be happy that I felt good and encouraged by it. Not the case. He got really defensive and my heart wishes it had not shared something so beautiful with him.

There is compassion in my heart for him. He struggles with his own stuff but refuses to do anything about it.

Just wanted to share that. Thank you for hearing me.

Well, I am home from CVS. Wrote my paper (only had to be between 350 and 700 words) and submitted it...3 hours before it was due. I like that Phoenix does not observe DST, it gives me an extra hour to complete my work.

BTW...

A coworker of mine who has school-aged children opened her big mouth and said it was Spring Break. lol

She was working every night and wanted to be with her kids some nights, so she asked if I would take some of her shifts, since I could do my schoolwork during the day since I was off from my school job. I agreed, so now I am working Tues and Wed in addition to the Thurs I was already scheduled. I did it to myself and I could use the extra hours after my car stuff today.

The stronger the attraction to my T the worse I dress. I looked almost homeless on Monday. And the less sense i make in session i could barely talk.

Trying to decided if I want to watch the 28-minute video for week 3's assignment to get a head start on it for my master's class. I wouldn't comment on it until tomorrow or after, so the participation would count for week 3...but I could watch it to get ideas for my week 3 paper...it has to be a proposal based on the video of 700-1200 words. Sounds like a lot, but 700 words isn't all that much. I was almost at 700 for my last assignment and it was just a overview.

(((TR)))
All of what you say here sounds so familiar to me. It was like that with my ex too
Keep your special stuff to yourself. I know you so want him to share it with you, but you wanting it is not enough, he has to want it too, and it sounds to me like he'd rather keep you miserable. Some people will do that - take all their 'pleasure' from another's misery.
Remember you're not alone
