I was in Stockport, from Kent, visiting my bestie, we went to see Austentatious, to get into town, we took the tram. Swipe in, swipe out. A 45 minute ride. When I checked my bank app I was charged 10p.

10 bloody pence.

(In case it's unclear, I am amazed in a positive way!)

Edit: so now I understand it's a pending charge. Disappointed! Lol I was so impressed!

As it says above. I travelled from Stockport to home in north Kent. As usual when I'm travelling alone I donned my lanyard, mainly because it has my fidgets on in.

Today my usual route in London of Euston to St Pancras to get my southeastern train was changed to Euston to Victoria. So I had to get a tube. Now I have tubed many times before, but not since my diagnosis. I used to cope by generating a lot a angry vibes, a massive fuck you attitude. So I thought I would be ok!

After walking the length of Euston to find the loo, my radar key not working in either disabled toilets, having to navigate the ladies, people tapping me and telling me the green lights above the cubicles meant I had to go, but they were all occupied?!?

I walked down the stairs to the tube and my brain froze.

I started chewing on my silicone pop fidget. My other hand clutching my ticket held up to my cheek. You all know the position. Both of these things I have had in a vague way. I was locked.

I shuffled to the nearest underground worker and asked how to get to Victoria, he started giving me directions, the read me, i guess. The lanyard and panic and he paused and said do you need and escort? I thought i would cry, and he just kind of said yes, let me sort it. Asked what my full journey was, got on the radio, he walked me through the station, he was so calm an lovely, i never once felt inconvenient. He got to to the tube, spoke to the driver to keep an eye on me, i was met at the other end, that chap walked me to passenger assistance in the main Victoria. From there I was taken to my homebound train. That guy cleared the disabled seat and parked me, after checking I was ok, he said someone will meet me at the end, even though I assumed him my husband was meeting me.

As i am now calmer, i do feel a little like i was making a fuss. But I would have had a meltdown at Euston. I have to remember I was only diagnosis 4 years ago at 48 after years of being told to cope, that I'm just depressed and here have some medication.

I will get home and will not have the same sort of over stimulation hangover as I would have done before.

TfL. I love you!

Idk what's up. I feeling there are bubbles of energy or fixing under my skin. Not literally like a physical sensation, but like I might burst in a arrrrrrgh kind of way, but not angry of sad, just like I have vibrate it all out.

I tried going for a walk. Lmao, I couldn't even walk normally. I got half way down my street and noped. Too hot, too sticky, i felt like I needed to go to the loo. My husband who is usually sooo accommodating, i heard say fuck sake..

I am bouncing off the walls in my head. I want to be squished, i want to squeeze something or bite something.

I can not make any decisions. I can't focus on anything but YT shorts.

I was asking for gherkins whilst on the loo. My hands feel like they have been sticky since June.

The pins. The map pins that can show you how placement of zones can add up bonuses. I didn't realise it was a thing until I saw it used in a couple of tutorials on YT, but they were not fully explained.

I have had a crack at figuring it out, but I must be doing something wrong as I'm not seeing any additional information.

Tbh, even though I have played off and on for a couple of years, I mostly play Civ V as I never got the hang of the difference in mechanics. But this last week I have been trying to get the hang of it.

Any help appreciated!

Lightning bright as day and the thunder shook the house.

I usually love it, but that's terrifying. I'm glad my dog isn't here, she was so scared of regular storms, this would have sent her mental.

Please forgive my moaning. I'm feeling a bit hard done by. It's a week to go before my blood test and I feel rotten. I am following your advice about not cutting gluten before the test, I cannot see myself doing it after the test, whether they want me to have a colonoscopy or not. I simply cannot continue to feel this bad. I can't do anything. I feel bloated, queasy and can't be far from the loo. Today has been particularly bad with cramping. I want a hot water bottle on my lower back but its too hot and I am already flirting with dehydration.

You are a really nice community here BTW. I am not 100% if it is coeliac as I get this all with anything I eat in the morning, but it eases throughout the day mostly. Gluten definitely makes it worse, but I am leaning towards IBS or something.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am being tested on 02/06 and read that I shouldn't exclude gluten from my diet so as to avoid an inaccurate result. All well and good.

But, I don't particularly want to spend the next 2-3 weeks on the loo or cramping. Can I limit the bad foods for a period and then the week before add them in again, or does the test need a longer sample time, like a diabetes blood test that represents a 3 month period?

I'm posting here because I'm in the UK and i don't want a bunch of suggestions that I can't use because I can't get them!

Okay, I am craving a gooey mac and cheese. The problem is I am recently diagnosed gluten intolerant. (I cut out carbs for 8 months for diabetes reasons and when i started to reintroduce them pasta and bread are not my friend. Wtf body!) Anyway, I have tried various substitutes. Leek sheets for lasagne, tasty. Courgette for spaghetti, tolerable-ish. But I cannot find anything that gives the same mouth feel as pasta for mac and cheese. I tried gluten free pasta and the konjac stuff its just not the same.

So anything else I can try?
