Stressing Tonight

So, I'm stressing out about eight million things tonight and need to let it all out. I'm leaving for vacation saturday, I have a reunion Friday night, I have to pack, I have to do laundry, I'm not done with everything for work, I don't have a minute to spare tomorrow at work or at home. gluten-free diet made me gain weight and I have nothing to wear to reunion or on vacation, went shopping and found 2 items, but the store smell made me sickly tonight. I should weed the weeds that will go to seed out of the garden. The cat needs a walk. My husband ate my picnic food accidentally. I have to coordinate meals with my SIL tonight who went from no red meat to vegan in the past year. She left me a message suggesting lots of pasta and burittos.

OK, now to cheer myself up:

SIL eats super fresh food, so there will be plenty for me to eat.

I'm allergic to milk and eggs, so I won't miss those.

I can take a cooler full of food since we are driving

She is OK with the family eating meat

She loves wine.

I found cute shorts. No top, so I might have to go topless to the reunion. Chuckle chuckle

I have an old bathing suit that might fit. (for vacation)

Hubby is bringing me bits of dinner as he finds stuff in the pantry that is edible

Ahh! I must make a side dish. I don't care if I can eat it, I just have to bring a dish to pass.

I can bring fruit. OK, A big big plate of strawberries would be a hit.

There is a volunteer at work tomorrow. Maybe I can get her to hide my clutter for me.

OK, I might panic later, but I feel better talking it through.

Some of those things will probably not end the world as we know it if they go undone.

(Though, I do totally understand the feeling of "OMGEVERYTHINGHASTOGETDONEANDIHAVENOTIMETODOIT!AARRGGHH!!!!")

Remind yourself of the things that *can* be left undone without the house falling down around you, and let those things slide. It will be ok!

Re: cat walking

My ex and I used to take walks with 2 of our cats. Uncle Benjy and Josephindy. They would run ahead a little and lay down and stare at us until we caught up. Or trail behind and then charge ahead and lay down like the hare in the Tortise and Hare story. Very silly critters.

SGWhiskers (good name for cat)

Hmmm, there was a point to this thread though I think. I yeah. Maybe it will work out in the end. You could just take and pick out the 2 or 3 most important things and do them in order. Some things don't need to be done until later maybe? Shoot, the topless thing sounds good to me, should make a splash at the reunion. :lol:

Dragging the thread off topic I know several people who walk their cat and on a lead :lol:

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
