Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 40 years of age, female. My interests include music (any genre), reading a great novel, watching comedy, Restuaranting, and learning new things. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Depression feels very lonely for me. I'd like to reach out for some support. Thank you.

I'll give you some of my high BP points! Apparently it's high for the first time in my life. Not good, but visualising normal BP all the time lol.

Our dog kept me up till 3am barking at a mouse I think. Awful.

Some of my sons called at 8am telling me their bush camping trip is over after one night lol.
They used our kayaks to paddle up a long creek to a spot. They wouldn't listen to their mother saying they needed REALLY warm clothing and lots of garbage bags to keep their stuff dry on the kayaks.... they live and learn lol.
(They probably didn't take any fresh water either).

Good luck with your GP today mocha, we have appointments too today so won't be online much.

Let us know how that goes.
Thinking of you. X

Hi Ems,

Doesn't sound like you eat much. I don't eat a lot either. It's not because of any disorder of any description, I've always been a small eater. Because I'm naturally skinny due to my petiteness, I'll have two meals a day and never snack in between. My diet has always been this way. I eat like a sparrow. Some people may find this strange and accuse me of 'not eating', and make me feel as though there's something wrong with me, but there isn't. My stomach coudkn't take more food than it needs. WHATEVER to those who think they know it all.

When I got drugged, my food intack was sooo much more - one of the side effects of the medication they drugged me with was increased appetite. I knew something was wrng with me. I knew I got drugged.

Hi Blubes

The only person to describe me as "petite" is my American boyfriend lol.

Your food intake is probably EXACTLY what you need. Indeed I'd pay no attention to the critics either, they've always got something to say lol!

I've had a lot of issues around food esp in my first 40y... now I can feel certain habits of thinking / worrying set in and I plough through those and so what I can do.

"Holocaust theory" food hoarding was / is one of those issues. I am organising things lol and wow I must have changed my thinking somewhat because I was pretty hard core sorting the food out the past few days.

I have STACKS for the chickens! and brush turkeys lol.

I'm about to feed them more. I can only put out more food when the other stuff's gone because of attracting vermin.

Getting branches for another fire tonight too. I've enjoyed not having ash all through my hair for a day! But this has gotta be done before zero fires can be had in Summer.

No rest for the wicked lol.

Ems, I keep forgetting that you're older than me. I forget (I don't factor in) ppl's age on BB forum. But I'm pleased to hear that you're eating well - healthy & delicious eating. That's great. yup, be careful of the vermins.

Tonight, I'm going to have some home made tuna sushi (kit from Coles) and salad. I know you don't like fish but I love them - they're so healthy and doesn't fill me up as much as meat would. Then pancakes with banana split iceream for dessert. That'll do me.

Hi all;

I cannot contain myself- I am free of forced drugging under a CTO. The public mental health team made many mistakes and I am now free of them.
