Hello Steemians.
Omar and I have just moved to LA a mere four months ago, and I haven't met any new friends, yet. I don't have anyone to talk to, so I thought I'd go ahead and talk to you guys.
I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night. I'd wake up for any little thing and struggle to get back to sleep. I finally got out of bed at noon, having given up on any more sleep. In hindsight, I guess I should have gotten up earlier and simply taken a nap if I felt I really needed it. Anyway, for those who haven't been following, I've been trying to heal my body from leaky gut and all the autoimmune diseases that come with it. To that end, I've been eating a gluten-free vegan diet, but it's been over 20 days and I'm still feeling absolutely terrible. I keep having to run to the restroom for less-than-pleasant relief, very few of my clothing items fit, and I finally just broke down and cried.
I've heard that crying releases bad hormones from your brain or something of that sort. I gave it a try.
My dog, Wallace, dropped the toy he was chewing on and rushed over to see what was going on. He flipped onto his back and proceeded to paw at my face and wiggle his little butt until I got up to wash my face, and even then he sat up tall and attentive, ready to throw himself at my face again if I wasn't done with the tears.
He definitely made me feel better, but any encouragement you guys would like to provide would be warmly welcome. I just don't know who to talk to these days.
