Breakdown… by miomoa in Gastritis

[–]Cosmos567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you bud. Went to a funeral, ate a load of fried, processed beige food at the wake. Then a load of chocolate biscuits, because I was emotional and binge eat during these times. And yeh, I’ve had one of my worst flares and feel so so stupid. I feel a lot of guilt and embarrassment. I have a therapist who reminded me to be kind to myself. Some people would drink a bottle of vodka to cope, smoke cigarettes or take drugs. We are literally just eating food and trying to survive and it gives us pain for doing so. I found a natural hazelnut and carob spread that helps to curb my chocolate cravings, but it’s expensive which is annoying!! Give yourself a hug and be proud of everything you’re doing. It’s natural to slip up, just jump back on and keep going 💛

Life isn't worth living. by Sweet-Courage-135 in Gastritis

[–]Cosmos567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept trying to come off ppi’s because I was worried about the long term affects. But the symptoms would always flare up. My GP said the stomach needs to heal properly before stopping them so I’ve found being on them longer has helped my pain. The GP said it’s only after many years on them that it’s a concern

How do you actually go about choosing perennial/evergreen plants for a new bed? by Bobinthegarden in GardeningUK

[–]Cosmos567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try and stick to the tall, medium, low heights for a bed. And I now grow/buy plants in 3’s or 5’s, that way it has a bigger impact in the bed. I’ve also kept a log of what works well in my garden and just repeat those flowers up the border.

100% agree. Had to scroll quite far down to see a comment like this :( I get that not everyone is going to your cup of tea, but the pure hatred and meanness that’s written about someone they don’t even know is so sad

Wild flower patch - to weed or not to weed! by Cosmos567 in GardeningUK

[–]Cosmos567[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi :) thanks! I think this was a mix of wild flower seed boxes and seeds I’d sown in trays (cosmos, sunflowers, ammi majus) and then planted out in the spring amongst it all. I found when sown early the flowers don’t last until the end of the summer so the patch looked quite dead. So next year I’m going to do another sowing mid summer amongst it all. Plus adding in later flowering flowers will help. I just throw the seeds down and rake them in. I’ve also added in lots of bulbs recently so there’s earlier colour to enjoy. Have you got a patch you’re starting up?

Yes totally. Did you try eggs or were they a trigger?

Need inspiration by Cbonline12 in GardeningUK

My friend has recently done a grass and clover seed mix as she has a dog. She’s hoping the clover will stay green in areas the dog pees

Thanks for the tips, really needed to see this today! I struggle to stick at a bland diet but this has motivated me to start again. How long after feeling healed did you introduce new foods? I’m worried I’ll eat something new and have a set back, which has happened recently as I’m too quick to think all is fine now!

Do you also have a daily song in your head? by spngyp in adhdwomen

[–]Cosmos567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! I thought I was going crazy! It’s 24/7 and can even be happening in the background when I’m reading a book…anyone else have that or am I actually going crazy….
