I was just feeling annoyed by all the things I have to do to get ready for bed every night- pee, brush teeth, floss, wash face, apply face lotion, eye drops, change clothes, apply hand lotion, moisturize nails, get glass of water, take vitamins, wash night guard, charge devices.. it’s getting dangerously close to 17 things and that’s just bedtime hygiene for the most part.
And all I want to do is fall asleep on the couch! But then I do the nighttime routine and suddenly my body figures it's not sleepy any more and my brain wants to think about a dozen different things that aren't really all that important right now.

That is so sad. Maybe she hides behind the health obsession.

Me too.
I started green juicing (veggies) and there is the logistics that you have to get used to and then make routine -
- buying organic veggies
- storing them
- washing them, peeling them, juicing, storing the juice
- washing the mason jars, washing the juicer.
I'm also with OP and this poster as well. And I feel more of a sense of urgency to stay on top of my stuff more now than ever.

I think that's been debunked, OP. I'd feel sick too if I did that!
The rest is fine. Stop poisoning yourself with your ridiculous water intake. You're making your kidneys work overtime.

“Half your body weight in ounces is a great starting point,” she says. “So for someone who’s 200 pounds, our first goal would be 100 ounces.

Now My doctor has to contact them to see why the referral is not good or where to send me.
This has been going on for 5 months. Cancer will not kill me, dealing with some offices here, will.
Doctors in EU told me to let them know when I'm coming. Cost is $200+$500 plane tickets. Doubt it's that low here.
You need a new specialist. I'm at Kaiser and it's very smooth, but even when I had a different health insurance, I never had the problems you mentioned.

I do a lot of those things but mostly focus on eating well, exercise, and being well read. They are habits at this point.

Practically everyone feels the same as you. DCUM is full of contrarians who just like to debate and play devils advocate 😆
Not really. Lots of us are functioning adults who can manage daily life without complaining about it.
