Holistic massage sounds lovely, Paula. Do you still practice any of it now, even just on family and friends?

I just bought myself a treat with some Christmas money. An acupuncture mat for the feet with hand, face and feet massage tools and diagrams of all the different points, as well as an acupuncture body mat and pillow!

I've had Indian head massage before and it was awesome. Never tried the hopi ear candling though!

No, I don’t practise. The thing with that sort of work is that it’s vital to keep a protective bubble around you so you don’t take on your client’s emotions and stress. When my mental health got worse, I wasn’t able to protect myself itms and it was just too difficult to do my job. Hopi ear candle is awesome! It really helps clear things out and is surprisingly relaxing

I've had Hopi ear candling! It's great! And as Paula says, gets rid of lots of potential gubbins and is relaxing too. Give it a go.

You are doing amazingly. It's hugely impressive that you are able to comply without being supervised. That's awesome!

[JustEM]

Thanks Suzi,

Yeah, not the person I was before hospital admission hey? Really anxious about tomorrow because I will be getting weighed. Once it's over I will feel much better and relieved.

I painted the pot! Now I just need to fill it will lots of nice quotes. I also went for a nice walk in the freezing cold haha. I'm trying so hard but I'm not feeling any pleasure.

I feel detached. I don't feel anything. Just numb. It's so weird.

Seeing the psych tomorrow about my meds so hopefully something good will work out with that too.

[JustEM]

Well that makes total sense to me, Paula. You made the right choice.

I will have to give the hopi ear candling a go sometime!!

[Suzi]

When are you being weighed? Drop in here if you need it.
Well done love for pushing yourself. Do you live near the sea?
We're here for you love x

[JustEM]

Tomorrow afternoon. My hope is that improved physical health will improve my mental health and ultimately my MOOD. But my fear is that I will gain weight but still feel like rubbish.

Weighing tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks hun, here for you too x

[Suzi]

Let us know how you get on lovely. We'll be with you in spirit.

[JustEM]

Thank you x
