Recovery question

Relapsing and been restricting pretty hard. I'm so overwhelmed, tired, dizzy and cannot concentrate on top of my already poor focus from ADHD. I'm tired of it. Even with the boost of weight loss I'm just drained.

I have had so many thoughts about just getting back on track with recovery, positive thoughts, positive ideas but I cannot seem to actually start. As soon as it comes to it there's no motivation in me to actually eat. I don't know how to make the move from having all the thoughts about recovery to actually following the meal plan properly. How do you keep going with it?

Fizzy drinks

I take Diamox and pretty much instantly after starting it I had the fizzy drink side effect. Drinks tasted weird and flat. But weirdly Fanta Lemon or Aldis Fanta lemon zero still tastes good and fizzy! Like why?! I cannot wrap my around this! I'm not complaining because god I've missed fizzy diet drinks but its so odd that all of them taste flat except fanta lemon.

Symptoms and menstruation

I have only been diagnosed a few months but noticed last month around my period I feel so much worse. I started my period yesterday and joked last night to my husband that I'm about to get worse. Low and behold I wake up this morning with awful migraine type headache behind/above my right eye. Do other people find an increase during menstruation?

Hermann sleeping a lot.

Our 9 month all Hermann is suddenly sleeping all of the time. He buries himself into the soil of his house and is staying there for a crazy amount of time. He used to be pretty active, a cheeky little climber but now we barely see him out. I don't know what we are doing wrong and I'm worried about him. Any ideas? TIA

I started Diamox 2.5 weeks ago. I take Lithium for bipolar and they haven't been monitoring my levels. 4 days ago I noticed a decline in my mood and the past 2 days I've cried non stop, have pretty bad thoughts and just feel absolutely awful. My appetite has completely gone which as someone recovering for an eating disorder is really tough to manage. I feel absolutely drained of everything. I am so sad all of the time and cannot tolerate anything. Has anyone experienced this on Diamox? I reached out to the mental health service today as the GP and non existent neuro have been useless and they said I should have had a lithium levels check after the first week and that they weren't even notified I had started Diamox! Does this get better?
