I don't think that many foods contain vitamin d naturally- salmon and mackerel and sun are the ways I know about other than supplements or fortified milk/orange juice.

There are reports that a lot of people are low on vitamin d.

It's all about the sun! A supplement is a good idea...low vitamin D has been linked to depression. For me, it caused hair loss.

They are all natural drinks. They all have a different purpose. For example, the blue helps with stress. It really does work. The orange helps with sleep. Here's the website if you would like to look at it. http://www.drinkneuro.com/

I love you for using the word cordial. I am fascinated by British cordials. I think because I learned the word from a Mary Poppins boom when I was small and at the time it sounded like the most amazing and wonderful drink....

Crocus Thanks for your comment about my family guilt. I know I should not feel guilty but that little voice from when I was a kid is still there saying I need to take care of my brother even though he was the eldest.
Also I have tried 3 times to see my t's band play and i chicken out. He is away in a couple of weeks to another event which means I miss my regular appointment and it will be 3 weeks between appointments.

I suppose it's another no pain no gain thing. Without the pain in the past I would've been much less wise. Now I need to accept the cruel truth that my past was indeed painful in order to really move forward in my life. Recent events have made me realise that forgetting the past is not the same as moving forward from it but in fact it was as, or even less productive than dwelling on the past

Well, it's not a pleasant place to be, but writing this now, it really is a great learning process isn't it ☺

to you too


The greatest comfort that I've found in making sense of all of this, is knowing, like you that there are others who also experience the things I experience. That right there, gives me much comfort and some courage. I've met friends here and I am very thankful for them.

No pain no gain. Yeah. There is pain in pulling some things out and really looking at them. Then. Talking about it. For me, there feels to be a release from the fear of thinking about it, wanting it to not be so - denial, when it's brought out into the open. It kind of seems to strip away the intimidation that it has by itself, in my mind.

I will agree with you again that it's not a pleasant place to be, but it is a work in progress, moving forward. Surely can't go back. Couch 114 - Take a Pew. That's not an option!!

((( high five )))

Thank you CantExplain. One of my usual flip outs. Couch 114 - Take a Pew

My oldest is back home. My future daughter in law is doing much better and my youngest has calmed down too.

Much better day. Couch 114 - Take a Pew

Another funny day today. Must just be a week for most of us. OCD has been a little more active than it has been in awhile today. Not bad, don't get me wrong. But just active. Hoping it doesn't start acting up like it had been previously.

Just got the new Couch and we are already on page 30. Nice. Watching my strange addiction right now. This show is so weird. Cool, but weird. I feel sorry for the people addicted to these things. Hope they can get the help they need. Sorry. Random post.

Wow hello 186 posts since I last checked the couch. Someone pass me one of those alcohol and ice cream concoctions and let's get crazy. Try and earn at least one Reproving Glare apiece.

My oldest needed to be picked up from her boyfriend's mom's house, about an hour one way on secondary roads. Saw a lot of horses, a few goats, the occasional cow, and a bunch of crops of who knows what. Country life is not for me, I'm planted firmly in suburbia. And I'm exhausted and cramped into the driver's position, very hard to straighten my right leg and still sore from my pathetic walk around the block yesterday.

Got a text today that should be printed, matted, framed and hung in a place of honor in our house. DD1 thanked me (sincerely) for being who I am and acting how I act, no matter what life throws at me and no matter how she and little sis act. Gave me the warm fuzzies it did!
