Ever try massage therapy? May help relieve your stress and help with your headaches. It has helped me in the past. Hope you are able to find some time for yourself to relax and unwind.


That sounds like a really nice idea and it would fit in with me needing to take a break as well.

Massage is something that sounds great but I have always avoided because of the physical contact thing.

Thank you for your support as always britte. I actually do feel a bit better this morning.

I actually think I'm stressed out quite a lot. All I ever seem to do is work.

I think I get tired of the fight, if you get what I mean.

How is everything going with your daughter?


Things are much much better, thanks for asking.

I was so proud of her because I laid the cards on the table and told her that I didn't feel equipped to be able to deal with what was going on with her, and from that moment she changed her attitude towards herself and to me and she sorted herself out with counseling and things have been far better.

I still worry all the time but that comes with the territory I suppose.

Yes, definitely do take a vacation, babybird!

I just took a week's vacation and only traveled close to home,
spent two nights at a Bed & Breakfast in Amish Country
which is only a short drive for me,
then spent the rest of the time hanging around my apartment
(well, made a few trips out to attend
an art show I was in,
a painting class,
and a different art show where I walked around and enjoyed the work of other artists)
and going to restaurants for meals
instead of cooking and doing dishes.

It was all super relaxing, especially walking around in Amish Country,
going birdwatching and watching the sunset
while hearing and seeing horses and buggies go clip-clopping down the road.

Like Noca suggests,
massages are also a very good thing.

Also, magnesium can help ...
either get more in your diet,
(I like sushi)
or soak in an Epsom salt bath,
or put a mixture of Epsom salts and water on your face / temples
(but please don't get any in your eyes ... that stings really bad.)


Sounds great.

I love Amsterdam but as I said in another thread, my passport ran out in March.

I could just stay in this country though.

The bath salts sound like a nice thing as well. I will definitely look into that.

I neglected to return here, previously. You're welcome.

I'm glad you're feeling better (were at the time of your reply, and, hope you still are)

Yes, I do get what you mean, and relate very well.
