Good that it was nice to see her @Shaz51 

Have you got much on this week?

@Snowie some herbs are pretty mild, and make food taste nicer 🙂. You don’t need anything fancy. There is a lot of anti inflammatory food out there too. I do find having a clean diet helps, the processed food in excess can cause inflammation, and inflammation can affect our mental health.

I have had really bad brain fog for some time. I’m hoping my body can heal over time. Stress does affect the body over the long term.

Do you think something like grounding will help you feel more present in your body? 💖🫂. Always here if you want to chat

I do use herbs in cooking @creative_writer 

A lot of the food I make is from scratch. I don't buy a lot of processed foods. Have some of course but try and keep it clean. D has gut issues so she doesn't handle processed foods well.

You are right, stress does affect the body. I think it affects us in many different ways.

I feel like shouldn't be awake for a few reasons. I just don't get why I bother anymore. It just feels useless.

@Snowie homemade meals are the best. I also have a sensitive gut, so I very picky with what I do eat when we do get takeaway. I also like getting some of my protein from plants too. Too much meat feels too much for me.

You are far from being useless, hon. It takes a lot of strength and resilience to wake up and face the day with your MH struggles. We all believe in you on the forums. Always here for you 💖🫂

They do say a balanced diet can help with mh @creative_writer Not sure if it's true or not.

I feel yuk if I have too much fat's. We don' have take away much, but always seem to buy myself a coffee when I'm down the street.

I'm just over it. Kids are home, lucky I made tea early so I don't have to surface. Rang someone again but didn't seem to help.
