First just let me clarify that English is not my 1st language.
I've been diagnosed with BPD, Major depression and Social Anxiety. I also have high blood pressure and diabetes. It always seems like. I'm craving for something, at this time I'm unemployed so I don't know if this is because I can't find a job, because when I'm working, I'm totally ok with just one meal a day. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Thank you.

“You Have To Own Your Diabetes Journey” - Anonymous
To take ownership of your journey with diabetes and your blood sugar numbers, it’s important to stay informed and educated about diabetes and how to manage it. This includes regularly monitoring your blood sugar levels, understanding how different foods and activities affect your levels, and working closely with your healthcare team to create a personalized treatment plan.
It’s also important to stay motivated and make lifestyle changes that can improve your overall health and well-being.
Remember to never be afraid to ask questions and advocate for yourself in your journey with diabetes.

How many times have you really wanted something, gotten it, and then wanted something else not too much later? We live life like we're trying to get somewhere, reach some goal, and have all the right things, but that "somewhere" is never now or here. Why don't we change the way we see the world and all the gifts that we experience? What are you happy to have these days?
Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.
The last video I made was about what to do if you ever feel like you aren't making progress in life. If this sounds relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

Otherwise, if you have any questions about mental health, please post in my group and I will try to make a video response specifically for you.
~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~
Speaking of thanks for all, I was hoping we could acknowledge everyone who comments below. I know it seems like a small gesture, but many people here have never opened up to anyone before and being open and honest with strangers can be quite scary. So, if we could show our gratitude by giving their comment a simple reply or heart, I’m sure they would really appreciate your team support. What do you say?

This quote beautifully captures the essence of true peace. Life will always present us with challenges, uncertainties, and storms, but finding serenity means cultivating a sense of calm and resilience within ourselves despite these external turbulences. If you don't know how to deal with the storm, here are some suggestions. Practice mindfulness to ground yourself in the present moment, develop resilience through journaling and positive affirmations, and exercise self-compassion. Engage in healthy outlets like exercise or creative hobbies, focus on what you can control, and let go of what you cannot change. By integrating these practices into your daily routine, you can strengthen your mental health muscles and create a sense of peace that withstands life's inevitable storms. Remember, if mental health exercises only worked when everything was ok in your life, there would be no point in practicing them. Are you dealing with a particular storm these days? If so, please share, I'd love to help.

I've taken a fluconazole every day for 3 days and I've been putting betamethasone clotrimazole cream on the skin infection but it's getting worse. The itching, burning, and intense pain are unbearable. I know it's cuz I'm peeing out sugar cuz I'm diabetic again. I haven't been taking meds for it cuz my pharmacy didn't send me the humalog. I have the lantis so I'll take some before bed. I'm just tired of being sick all the time.

1 reaction I have migraines and have had them the majority of my life. Being female they came during my moon cycle each month, but they also showed up when I was stressed, hungry, irritated or upset.
Now that I’m older, they show up when I’m tired of reading small print and when it’s too bright outside.
But they still show up when I’m stressed, upset, irritated or hungry.
I have tried all kinds of things like staying in a dark room, putting warm or cold compresses on my eyes and back of my head or neck, eating, hot showers, hot tub soaks, natural hot spring soaks, napping, light block curtains to noise reduction headphones. I preferred not to take Tylenol or Ibuprophen as I really want to save my liver. Everything I’ve read about pain killers is that they damage your stomach and liver over time.
I recently was reading an article in ADDitide about natural supplements. In the article there was a lot of talk about different supplements like Omega 3’s helping attention span for ADHD or ADD children or adults, but there was one part that mentioned taking magnesium to help with migraines. This prompted my thoughts and this post.
I use a lot of natural supplements for other purposes like for my asthma, I not only take my prescribed steroid inhaler but supplement with Astralagus Root. For upset stomach, I enjoy Ginger tea or Kota (Navajo Tea).
Now with my PTSD and Anxiety, I take Full Spectrum Ashwaghanda Root. I also take Hyland’s Nerve Tonic. These work wonderfully for me.
But I know natural supplements are not for everyone. I do utilize many prescriptions but mostly for my bad cholesterol levels, asthma and diabetes.
Has anyone every tried natural supplements for your migraines? If so, which ones have you tried, and does it help?
I was also wondering, what do you do when you get a migraine?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I’m curious. I don’t like migraines. They inhibit me from fully engaging with life.
