@Blackcloud Yay does a little dance. That’s wonderful I’m really proud of you. I reckon you’ve got this in the bag and what an excellent mark for 1st assignment! Treat yourself!

@Cuddlebear it's nice to be chatting to them, they make me smile 😊.
Unfortunately it's not just anxiety and they haven't been able to work out exactly what's causing it yet. But no nothing has helped even when they used the medication to stop my heart to see if it would revert back to a normal rhythm. Fingers crossed all the tests come back normal for you sweet ❤️

@Dreamy I’m so glad your friend brings a smile to your face. You deserve to feel happy and loved. 🥰
It can take a while to pinpoint what is causing the faster heart rate. And then once that is discovered working out what treatment might help. Wow I didn’t even know that a heart could be stopped and rebooted. I’m sorry it didn’t help though as I imagine procedure would be scary. I do hope that there’s other tests you can access that might help and that are not invasive. Elevated heart rate isn’t fun to live with and the extra adrenaline can impact & affect mental health for some people.
Yes I’m hoping tomorrow’s tests go well. I’ve never had a heart stress test before.

It sounds like you are finding some really lovely ways to warm and nourish yourself @Dreamy.
What veggies and how do you season them? 🤔
I am doing well! I have been in a state of reflecting and journaling this week - there's always more to learn and process. 🧘♀️

I'm good @Cuddlebear! It must have been cooler in my neck of the woods this morning... but it's warmer now - just went for a little walk and coffee run. ☕️ What coffee do you have?
What's making things feel panicky and sad? 💛

@AuntGlow Congratulations on the move and new place. How are you finding it? I’m moving on Monday and I’m exhausted from all the organising. Moving is such a huge job.
Did you move far from where you were? My move is within the same suburb. 🙂

@AuntGlow I'm trying.
Today was just potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots and nothing other than a little bit of salt.
Glad you are doing well. Very true that there's always more to learn and process.

@Cuddlebear awwww thankyou sweet, being able to chat to you also brings a smile to my face ❤️.
Yeah they've done alot of testing but still no luck in finding out a cause. The procedure where they stop your heart was definitely scary and not something I want to have to go through again if I can help it. When my heart rate goes high for days at a time my potassium and magnesium levels drop critically low and have to be replenished via IV so it results in staying in hospital for a few days and I'm not a fan of hospitals. But anyway it's still under investigation and hopefully they can work out a cause and a treatment that's effective at some stage.
Good luck with the test tomorrow sweet, you've got this ❤️

What's going on for you? How is uni?
@AuntGlow I hope you're enjoying your new place. And uni is going fine for me, I've started working on the last assignment for one of the units and for the other unit I'm enrolled at I'm yet to start the last assignment for that one too. I'm pretty happy with the progress I've made so far with doing assignments and finishing them at least the week or two before the due date.
