Because it takes the edge off anxiety? I haven’t even been on it all that long and I entirely forgot it did this. Holy crap, what was I even like before! I remember being in constant pain from the migraines. More pain than I even noticed I was in, weirdly enough. Is it helping your migraines? My head still feels like Swiss cheese, or something. But more brain fog and heavy than pain, now.

I have just discovered chia pudding. If you like Boba tea, (is that what it’s called?) it’s got that same bubble poppy, feel, if you don’t, puree / grind the chia first. 1tbsp chia, Add whatever flavor you like, chocolate pudding mix, drinking chocolate, whatever. And a cup of whatever milk you like (or water). (I add some flax meal but it kinda tastes like dirt a little, especially if you put too much.) add whatever protein powder, pea protein is flavourless. Bam, tastes like chocolate pudding. Good fibre, good brain food (aka omega something something) I actually find I have more energy when I eat it. I make a jar of it and just have a couple of table / tea spoons a day. Good for a few days to a week. Oh, wait a few hours to overnight for it to solidify.

You’re essentially telling your nervous system it’s safe, right now, which seems like an important thing to do frequently, in the current climate.
