Those suck

I was drinking matcha everyday for the past few years until I started getting the jitters. I have switched to hojicha and am still getting jittery. Last week, I had nothing at all and had anxiety at a moderate baseline, but not the constant chest tightness, tingling hands, heart racing and brain fog. So I guess it's just water and herbal tea for me for now. Hopefully any future ADHD meds don't make me feel like this.

that sounds like hyperventilation from stress, comes on about 20 minutes after a stressful event
tell your doctor your symptoms

I have this four hour literacy and numeracy test in about an hour, and I am fearing the literacy part. I often skip words when I read or what I'm reading doesn't actually go in because my brain refuses to absorb the information. Unless the information is exciting in some way.
Try reading the question backwards as well as forwards if the questions aren't too long. That way you're focusing on the words on the page instead of getting caught up in the flow of reading

You'll be ok. Take your time. Skip the harder questions and come back to them later. You've got this.

I have a couple of hours to kill before the gym. Might make soup
I don't know what it is but the chocolate on the back of chocolate coated Scotch Fingers is much better than it has any right to be. It almost had that Cadbury taste to it, there's something different about it than normal biscuit chocolate
Bleeeeeurgh. Mega ceebtown here today. Just switch my brain off now and let me try tomorrow
E: I managed to make a choy sum stir fry and the koshihikari is cooking. Between that and a tin of sardines that's dins. I still have so much veg in the fridge I need to cook but soooo can't be bothered... the beetroot especially. Need to hurry up and make a curry with it, freeze some for later.
goodnight everyone, sweet dreams ❤️
Trying a shampoo from Aldi. It doesn’t have dimethicone (I get greasy hair) but it does have fragrance and polyquaternium which are asthma triggers. I used it just now and will see if the scent dissipates before bed. Weirdly it stings a little.
Edit: Oh. Apparently polyquaternium is a known irritant and releases formaldehyde. Back to the Loch with you Nessie.
Edit 2: That’s polyquaternium 15. Seems 10 and 7 are ‘safe’ but with the fragrance of the shampoo and the slight burn/itch of my scalp I’m not really sold.
Washed it out with Dove sensitive bar.
