Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Hi folks. Started off as a good day but not so great at this moment. So, I came here to chat with my friends. Hubby was the type of person that would just fly off the handle. Get enraged over stupid things. Repairing something would involve him screaming every profanity known to man, throwing things, etc. He reacts to things like that and then he'll be fine when he's all done.
But, the energy of his anger has already invaded my space and makes me feel very unhappy, unsettled, etc. This has been somethin that I have dealt with for 40 years. I don't understand why he reacts in such anger and he doesn't understand why I get so affected by it.
Anyway, he has been so much better in the past 3 years. He has really worked on himself - he has changed and I have changed.
But, today - man! He has spent the past hour or so flipping out over the stupidest things. He's making me crazy. Cussing while he's hooking up the stereo. Cussing and throwing things while he's fixing himeself something to eat. :sad:
Gee whiz! Ok enough about that. Maybe he'll be better now that his tummy is full. LOL

I had a drinking dream last night!! It was absolutely awful and I was so scared that I really wanted to drink. I can't remember all the details but I was trying to run to MWO to get to you all to save me. I just was running and kept thinking I need to get to them and tell them I need help!!!!!!!!!!

He apologized after his nap. :harhar:

You all were talking about spring cleaning. I'm not really spring cleaning but I'm going thru boxes of stuff. Feels really good to get something done.

Hi all,
Nora, I can see how that would be difficult, the thing with hubs. My kids dad was kinda like that...good for the massage then....I'm still doing the juice thing, and eating better. Went out to the park today and yesterday to walk. Nothing much going on here. Watching Laverne and Shirley...b

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

How are you feeling with the juicing? i forget who mentioned it here......I think it was Dill. But asked if I had thought if my diet could be causing some of my issues. I think that's going to have to be my next step. Trying to eliminate items and see if it helps. If I would just listen to NoSugar and cut out all of that sugar, it would be much better. LOL Oh well, one step at a time. :victorious:

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Thanks Pauly. I liked the article. I think my issues are more defined in my case, but I think the article shoots it straight. It takes time to get back to a normal state or as close as possible. I know what is going on with me is going to take more than time. I am being active in working to address some issues. I can clearly identify some of them, but others are a wait and see. If my diet and changes eliminate the problem with some time, I'll be happy. If not, then I'll get some testing done. I hope you feel better soon and out of your funk.

Rusty, thanks for asking. I'm working diligently on feeling better. Sounds like things are going better for you.

I don't read all this board, so if anyone commented I didn't see, apologies. Sometimes I roam, but not too much.

Just caught this. Nora, I mentioned the food issues, but not the juicing. Funny though, I was looking at juicers this morning. I decided to stick to eating the whole vegetable and fruit for now as I need the fiber, but depending on how this plays out for me, juicing could be an option. I had fibromyagia years ago along with a host of issues. It was complicated, but I can say foods were a big culprit. You need to find yours, but there are some big ones that many share in common like dairy. My story is long, but I would definitely read up and take some time to address that as a cause.

[MENTION=24140]Crusader[/MENTION] - very interesting that you had fibromyalgia. I didn't know that it would go away. Thanks for that. Yes - I'm going to have to start looking at the food aspect. Instead of complaining about it, I should just be grateful that I am able to make choices about the food I eat. So many people don't even have food.

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Oh Nora, I'm glad hubby was better after the nap. He must just get so frustrated and not know how to deal with it. My nephew flies off the handle like that too, but he can be the sweetest. When he was a toddler and got angry he would hold his breath till he passed out! It's just something that he seems to have been born with, genetic I personally think.
Interesting with the juicing. I haven't done that in years. It was just so much work back in the day. I'm just too lazy. I was so bad today and bought cookies and ate way more than I should have! It was so nice out today and I did get out and walk. I had some serious spring fever today. Lucy even enjoyed romping outside. Her leg seems to be much better, but I don't want to push her too hard, so no walk for now.
I was watching Laverne and Shirley today too! It took me back to when I was growing up, love it!
Hope you all enjoyed your Saturday!

Nora,I forgot to mention that I read that magnesium MALATE is supposed to be good for fibro,give it a google

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Well, I sure hav a lot more energy since I started the juice, has been about a week now. The reason I started it was after watching a movie Food Matters, and then Super Juice Me...so I am using a nutri bullet and only takes me about 10 minutes to do the whole day of juice..not bad and no big mess to clean...no dirty dishes....I am not 100% juicing though...maybe 75%..I'm gonna do it untill the 20th of April

the cats brought a mouse in this time

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Pauly - thanks for the magnesium malate tip. I'm going to check it out.

Oh Bird - a mouse this time. One of my cats would get a certain howl by the front door when he had a rat in his mouth. It was his I want in right now cry with a little bit of a sneaky urgency in it. LOL

Re: One Step at a Time - March 2018

Hi all

Nora the way your husband reacts when he is angry must be very confronting. I hope it’s all directed towards inanimate objects and not you! When is your grandbaby due?

Liz and Pauly - it's so lovely you are spending time with the grandbabes.

We had a family gathering today for my son and nephew's birthdays (they were born 3 days apart). I was only there for a couple of hours as I have major deadlines but it was lovely to see them. HRH is growing so fast! I've hardly seen her for the last few weeks and I miss her so much (and my sons and DILs too).

Have a great week!
