I can't bring myself to eat.

Noted! As much as I hate shots, I'd love having an appetite more. I'll ask my NP asap, maybe she'll know what you're thinking about.

I can't bring myself to eat.

That's a good idea, we have a cherished InstantPot and crockpot in the house... I wonder if I can also manage potato soup with bacon or something.

Thank you so much. After talking to you and a friend, I just ate a couple small spoonfuls of applesauce and some bites of cinnamon bagel. Some difficulty with the bagel, but they seem to be staying down so far. I think morning anxiety is a big culprit. Anxiety-fueled headaches too.

I think I should also set something up with my dentist. Some tooth pain on the left side of my mouth has been hindering enjoyment of food lately.

Thanks Padre :) My sister recommended the Ensure too, but we haven't gotten around to it. I have an appointment with my nurse practitioner and a counselor tomorrow at 8:15 and 5pm, respectively... it just seems so far away.

A friend recommended the BRAT diet, but my throat and stomach aren't responding well to bananas or bagels. For now, I'll see about malt-o-meal, but...

I canโ€™t believe this site is back!

See, this is exactly why I am so glad to see this site again. A lot can happen in a decade, and it is so obvious in your post that you've healed and blossomed. I'm currently going through a hard time myself, anxiety and health-wise, but clearly time heals all wounds. Thanks for being so inspiring, and welcome back!

When did the world become black and white?

I don't think the world has ever been firmly without any black and white. Different cultures, different religions, different walks of life, will always find certain things good or evil. People detached from that culture/experience might deem said things "not that bad", or more easily see the grey from an objective standpoint.

I hear you on the rational discussion part. I'd take calmness and open minds over screaming matches any day. And yet calm doesn't always mean right. People will describe something as "intelligent and rational discussion" when they are coolly disparaging someone or being passive-aggressive towards someone's differing belief. There's almost always going to be some sort of emotion lingering in a debate.

Intelligent discussion is great. As long as it comes with a side of compassion rather than condescension. And honestly? As much as I love the internet, I think its distance and anonymity kind of enables condescension. Which leads to defensiveness and passion. Which leads to more black and white thinking.

Iโ€™ve really missed this website!

I joined ten years ago too! It's nice to see it again back the way it was, right down to the design. Soothing, even.
