Thanks to everyone for reading and for the warm wishes - the truth is, I certainly do need to have some kind of community (and not feel so isolated). So, I want to say right up front that I appreciate it. From reading around, I do get the sensation that there are a lot of good people so I am feeling good about that.
As for the chocolate, yes it is a serious issue - which is both a good thing & a bad thing, since I really do need to stop eating less of it. I feel like I must have really low serotonin since I am snacking on it almost constantly throughout the day. In regards to the chocolate, I blame the hormones! It is true, I have always had a sweet tooth, but I used to be able to keep it contained when need be. Ever since changing my hormones, I feel as though it has morphed from an excessive want to an excessive need. Oh well, it is probably just me & my stupid head's fault...As for herbal tea, it is simply the best. I am partial to mint medley, but can appreciate most of them - they soothe my stomach, they calm my anxiety, help me wake up in the morning and wind down at night. One bad habit is the chocolate, but one good thing I did was to switch out drinking sugary caffeinated sodas for teas (see, I'm not always bad!).
Ok, so I do have a couple of questions, which I think I will go ahead and ask here (and then hopefully someone will direct me in the right direction).
1. I have a lot of issues / questions / etc. which specifically deal with hormonal issues. Is there a specific place where it is best to discuss hormone related issues & if so, where is it(?) and, is it okay if I go there & ask my questions?
2. Likewise, I have a lot issues/questions which deal with complications (along with the story of exactly how they came about). Where is the best context for these issues?
3. How many posts do I need to have in order to create a blog? The reason I would like a blog here at some point is for the following reason: I have a unique story which has brought me to the specifics of where I am at now & while I don't presume that everyone wants to hear all about the crappy details, some of the questions / replies that I have arise directly from some specific things which happened & at times, it may help to clarify where I am coming from. That being said, I only would want to go through it once, not on multiple posts... (Ok, I'm probably just being tangential, so I'll shut up).
Thanks again for the warm welcomes.
