Hi there Fi
I’m pleased to hear back from you – but your current state
certainly does not sound good. However, I
don’t think that it’s simply a case of you feeling proud or not. It’s different to that. You’re at a low ebb and this is following on
from a low lead up to your recent operation.
Then cometh the operation and now you’re in the aftermath and things are
just not rosy and bouncy for you at this time.
Having said all that, I have no doubt that things will turn at some
stage in the future – I’m certain of this.
So for this current phase, I’m hearing you loud and clear –
and we just need to ride through these waves – ride it out.
But to break things down a bit – you’re tired all the time,
but can’t sleep. And feel physically
ill, but not hungry. These things I feel
are all linked together. With regard to
food (and drink, and am referring to water here – or even electrolyte
replacement drinks – perhaps even the Gatorade variety, but the better variety
are the ones from the chemists – the hydralite drinks – the orange is quite
tasty as well), it’s a matter of trying to eat just small amounts at ANY time
of the day. Forget these locked in
timings of breakfast, lunch and dinner – although having said that, breakfast
should always be a lock – a definite.
To fuel the body ready for the day ahead.
Food can at this time be mostly what you fancy – cause if
you’re not feeling overly hungry, then try to eat things you enjoy. We need to get fuel back into your body so
you can at least “feel” like being able to do ‘stuff’.
Water/fluid is another huge key factor. Lack of water in one’s body (any kind of
dehydration) only emphasises the depressive symptoms we have. Try to sip through the day – super important.
(This post has been bought to you by the kind people of “Eat
well, drink well, live well”).
