He's right and also eat something healthy and satisfying. When we're hungry it makes our brain go off into all sorts of strange thoughts and food resets it. If this is possible, I can't remember if you're the one who has trouble with food?

Yes, I'm the one who has problems feeding myself.
I haven't been able to eat since yesterday because I have some kind of anxiety that makes my stomach hurt.
But I managed not to hurt myself.
I feel better mentally since yesterday but I am still a little fragile.

A single comment or a single joke that I won't like on WP could make me dive in.

Thank you for your support. I do like you.

Aww I like you too Checkbox. I wish it was acceptable for people to say that to each other in real life but we are supposed to be cool and lowkey and hide our feelings.

What's the food you like best, can you eat that? Something soothing. Or even a flavoured drink. I really find I have to force myself to eat sometimes when I'm falling into the depths of despair.

One of my managers was making me really grouchy yesterday and my coworkers have been making me grouchy for days. My manager kept insisting that we have a full amount of people (8) working at my machine, even though the conveyor can't even handle 5 right now. Even 5 people putting up pants is too heavy and it jams itself so the chain doesn't break loose. I've been having to get my coworkers to help me take clothes off of it so I can unjam it and then wait for it to unload more clothes (much to their apparent f*****g dismay, because they had to do something besides just stand there and watch me scramble to fix it like a jackass, plus they wanted to immediately start working again just so it can jam again), and stopping what I was doing to pull on the chain to help the motor (which the maintenance supervisor showed me and helps a lot).

My manager finally relented and let me hang clothes on racks for a bit to reduce the load on the conveyor after I explained how many times it has stopped, and that the only reason it hadn't yet yesterday was because I was having everyone stop working like every 10 minutes and I couldn't work because I had to pull on the chain. She also had me send wet coveralls through which stresses the conveyor and is going to get me in trouble Monday since they're going to not be dry, and I'm super annoyed about that.

Another manager also was watching us later in the day and I have anxiety because they didn't seem pleased by how behind we are. I think I'll get in trouble for just trying to keep the conveyor going since I had to make us stop multiple times (even though the conveyor would have stopped anyways each time and it would take longer to fix it).

I ate comfort food but passed out.

As a result, I ordered food but found it very difficult to eat sensorially and now I'm physically ill.

I don't know if I'm anxious or sick or both since my misadventure.

Do you eat well at the moment?

Oh dear, that sounds very difficult

Well what has been helping me is drinking a lot of water. I noticed a few years ago that I was horrendously dehydrated so I began drinking lots and lots of water 24/7. It took a couple of years to rehydrate myself, that's how bad it was! I still take 2 cups of water up to bed with me and get more in the middle of the night.

But it has really helped me get more healthy. I had so many health problems (I've covered this in a spoiler in case it's TMI)



that they made me really dehydrated, I'm guessing they were the cause of it. So I needed to rehydrate urgently so I did. I also regularly take rehydration fluid to help me.

I have exactly the same problems as you. When I read you yesterday, I couldn't believe it.
Maybe there has to be a syndrome or something, because it's not possible otherwise.
I just have extra GERD from a hiatal hernia. Do you suffer from that too?
I'm going to buy some rehydration solutions today because yesterday I couldn't because the pharmacy was closed.

That is a coincidence isn't it! Or a syndrome.

What I did was: get tested by a complementary therapist, many years ago because doctors did not believe I had all these problems. She diagnosed dairy and gluten intolerance, so cutting those out did wonders for me. Then I realised I had all these foods which made me ill, so I cut them out. Then I realised I was horrendously dehydrated so I started rehydrating myself. And also I stopped having periods years ago due to brilliant contraception, which helped A LOT.

So I'm a lot better now but still fragile.

My daughter was very ill with severe vomiting for 5 years and eventually the doctors realised something was very wrong and she was diagnosed with dairy intolerance. So they did a bit better with her but as she's my daughter, it's very likely she and I have the same dairy intolerance isn't it.

This isn't so much a rant but wondering what just happened.

I was having what I thought was a nice conversation with this guy online about the technical aspects of websites, then suddenly in the middle of the conversation he wrote Bye Bye and disappeared. It was very abrupt and jarring. I scoured my comments for any possible insult, weird comment, argument. But there was nothing wrong.

It's kind of like what happens to me in real life: I think I'm having a nice friendship with someone then suddenly they disappear and blank me, without me having a clue as to why.

Anyone else had this?

There are maybe two possibilities here:

Either you have been insulting and have failed to detect yourself being insulting, even after having thought about it, or maybe you have gone on too long about something or other and the other person saw no easy way to close the conversation, so simply made you aware they were leaving the conversation.

An abrupt 'bye bye' does sound rude, however.

Thanks. I can't see how I was insulting, we were just talking about which was best, the 'like' function or the 'retweet' function on social media. It wasn't anything personal, just a technical conversation

And I don't think I went on too long, he made 3 comments, I made 3 comments in the conversation, probably only as long as your paragraph starting with 'either you'.

Maybe that conversation of 6 comments was still too long for him and/or I somehow hit a sore spot without knowing.

This is always what foxes me. I generally don't talk about extreme subjects and I don't go on too long, yet people suddenly take offence and disappear.

But anyway, thanks for giving me some advice.

The guy got what he wanted though, I felt so weirded out that I blocked him so I feel safer now.

How can I not be unhappy?
Remembering I've had severe depression since I was 13.
Any answers anyone?

You could share my ice cream.

That could work.

Better than, "You're choosing to be unhappy so snap the f**k out of it".

That's my second choice, reserved for when I want to sound like an ahole.

Good thing that doesn't happen.

Magnets.

Get some strong magnets, and with correct placement and alignment, they will cancel out the double-negativity that currently has you in stasis.

That, or watch "The Electrical Life of Louis Wain"
Issy is in it, playing Wain's tragically ethereal wife!
