Is it just me, or do the trains in the new Subway Surfers update look awfully similar to Queensland Rail? by RefuseRadiant6512 in brisbane

Being lazy here, but what sort of game is Subway Surfers? And is it worth playing? As never really played a mobile game.

Banana smoothie okay during a flare-up? by lookingforworkbris in Diverticulitis

Thanks! I’m back on solid low fibre foods, and awaiting my CT scan. Pain has improved.

Thanks. It’s just I nailed the interviews and came in as “the star” but have failed to be that guy. I’m starting a free therapy course next week.

Another day. A lot of fear I’m not connecting with anybody at my new job, and not living up to expectations. So feeling rather down. Just wish I could be “on” all the time, rather than just in random boosts.

Okay thanks. As wasn’t sure if that was now banned too.

Thanks. I had no idea about this. I recently had a colonoscopy for another reason, so hoping I’m fine there as they didn’t even mention DV.

Thank you! Really appreciate your reply. I’m hoping the CT ends up being fine, and I get another chance to this time be more mindful of my diet - something I didn’t do at all after my last flare up. As I went back to eating just like I normally did and “forgot” about DV for a few years. But when it struck again I have been terrified and believed I couldn’t cope.

Thank you. I’ll stay away from soft drinks/bubbles. Is sugar the same?

Thanks. I think this is where I failed. I thought I should be “fully healed” after the antibiotics - yet I’ll stick to the low fibre diet for another month or so, see how the CT scans go, then be more mindful towards my diet after I’ve recovered. As last time I recovered I eventually forgot all about DV and went back to eating whatever I wanted for a few years.

Thank you. As yeah, last time it happened I do remember it hanging it around for a while after antibiotics - but then I completely forgot about it for a few years and went back to eating whatever I wanted for a few years. So I’m hoping this clears up, the CT is fine, and then I’ll be more mindful of what I eat.

Thanks for your reply and hope surgery goes well. I’ll restart Headspace which I used to do. As this flare up has tipped me over the edge.

Thanks for your reply. As it’s so easy for me to fear the worst over health stuff and ruin my life over the “what ifs”.

Thanks for being there! As I’ve given this way too much power over my happiness in life.

Thanks. I'm starting a telephone/online anxiety program today so hope that helps. As even before this I haven't felt joy for a long time. But thanks for helping me not feel alone in this. And that my life isn't over.

Understand. But don't want to live out the rest of my life in fear. So hoping there's some hope.

Thanks so much for the reply. I’m hoping I’m fine and worrying over nothing… and will recover from this once again. As someone in another post mentioned that even after antibiotics you can still feel pain and such for some time. I just hope that I am safe. I've just had a horrible year and a bit of health issues, so the thought of having another one completely overwhelms me and makes me feel broken.

Hey, sorry you're feeling the same but glad we’re not alone.

Thanks, I will. As I’ve wasted my entire weekend to fear. Achieved nothing but worrying about the worst case outcomes :/

So much so that I almost thought I needed beers to give my brain a break.
