Abifae - Ciao Babies!

Hope you're feeling better, Abi....

Now, and far as you and WBF, thanks, Farmfresh, for setting these two straight during my absence. Ya can't step out for even a little bit and this happens......

How about some crispy fried fish with homemade tartar sauce and some sweet potato fries? Sounds good to me anyway.

 

[abifae]

NOTHING sounds good to me. It's the heat. Hell, it's the too much dopamine. Serotonin makes you feel hungry. So I'm forcing sweets into me. I had a quarter of an english muffin for breakfast with sausage, egg, and cheese.

I bought plums to go in my yogurt.

I bought yams to go with my bacon and cheese

But it all sounds HORRID. I mean, not even "i'm not hungry" but "i think i'll vomit if you make me eat" and that is DEFINITELY the dopamine talking. The good thing about knowing one's body is that you start to figure out why it's doing the stuff it does

Also... I'm having the usual effects of too much dopamine: hallucinations, very VERY vivid dreams, paranoia, rambling thoughts, upset stomach, lack of appetite, palid skin, headache.... so.

I used to be GLAD of the too much dopamine. I didn't know what caused it, but I knew if I dropped food out, I'd very quickly stop being hungry and get TONS of energy. Twitchy energy, granted.... Now I've learned that I really prefer a healthy balance between dopamine and serotonin and I'm much happier for it.

Autism goes hand in hand with schizophrenia and bipolar, for all they try to make them sound like three opposing disorders. So all you bipolars can read how to switch your mania for depression through diet Or, more importantly, how to ease the severity of the shifts through diet. It doesn't CURE it, but it makes it more manageable. At least you aren't making it worse.

I also know that you need to eat a bit of something ... to prime the pump. My D1 gets like this in the summertime. She just stops eating.

If she eats a little something it kind of gets things back on track for her.

 

[abifae]

Yeh. Eating a bit does nuttin for me. I have to force feed for a week or so before I even brain chemistry out enough to get hungry lol. It's very annoying.

But all's well

You can have some of MY cravings!!!

I feel MUCH better after my massage. Gonna sprawl with a book and some dried fruit and nut mix. Should give me lotsa good insulin to make more serotonin hahahaha.

A good massage does work wonders. Glad you're feeling better.

Let me know if I can do anything for you. Like maybe you want to come over and cuddle some baby goats? We're not too far away from you (assuming you're in east Denver area).

Do you eat nuts and seeds? Perhaps sunflower seeds wouldn't be too heavy. Come help me milk the goat and you can take a pint home with you! Lots of water. Does a smoothie (frozen bananas, berries, protein powder) sound good?

My kid tried two new things today. Major huge accomplishment for him.

Need any Reiki? LD is ok.
