Violet 2 (CI 60730)
Ok so BabylissPro Thermalionic smoothing shampoo not sure where the spaces go on the names but I am guessing with the above name I typed....I am not allergic to the conditioner of the same brand so going to try and sort through those ingredients vs this ingredients and rule out some of the ingredients as not being the culprit I hope...then I am going to take Garnier Fructis Color Shield shampoo and conditioner and eliminate any of those ingredients that are also found in this shampoo I was allergic to and hopefully narrow it down even farther...wish me luck!
That reaction was horrible it left my skin feeling hard like super glue dried on it then it cracked and flaked off...my head is still itchy from my using it for a week before deciding maybe hey I am allergic to this stuff...and found soy in the conditioner which I am allergic to soy but am not allergic to the conditioner so strange to me! so anyway! I am tired of my head itching...and the medicine doesn't really help that the doctor gave me...so IDK what to do...my main doctor said to stop washing my hair...uh I keep sweating and yeah I cannot not wash my hair holy molly that wouldn't be something I could do without gagging...so yeah...a week of not washing didn't ease it it just made it kinda worse actually and yeah itched more so after a week of not washing my hair...so yeah...anyways...I am so tired of it yeah...
In other news I am on Wellbutrin xl take one in the morning and one in the evening and it seems to had been helping...today not so much...I want to go get my hair cut (shaved on the underside so I can see what my scalp looks like and also to schedule my mole to be removed from the back of my head in my hair area...so yeah...that is a thing I need to get done but suddenly have no motivation for...
I have viterous degeneration and viterous floaters a 50 some year old issue at age 35 and I have had it for as long as I can remember it just recently got worse to the point that it made me dizzy and I fell...it is very distracting and annoying...anyway...that is a new thing...
I also started getting epidurals for my leg pain which turns out wasn't all in my head...it was nerve pain caused by my L5 disc being torn leaking fluid on the nerves that go down my legs causing my legs to hurt Praise the Lord! I ain't crazy! and I have been off Norco for quite some time now...still take Naproxen for the swelling of my back I guess so hopefully it will get better...with the steroid injections with the epidural they give me...anyway...I need to go in someday soon to have it done again...my legs have been getting pretty crampy and having horrible muscle spasms that hurt so bad...I have had to take benadryl to relax them since I am still breastfeeding I cannot take muscle relaxants and there is no sight of ending anytime soon Evangeline is pretty much demanding it throughout the day and not just at night...17 almost 18 months old (on 10-4-15) so yeah still going strong...especially when she is upset she wants it...its her comfort and I cannot take that away from her...she still needs it so I will still give it to her...I ain't needing to stop any time soon anyway....I have no life outside of being mom...wish I could get out and be apart of the outside world but my anxiety gets the best of me still...and I cannot take valium and be able to drive and can't breastfeed either...so yeah...anxiety is still here but wellbutrin is not so bad as I remember it being...though I do feel a bit out of it...like absent minded...exhausted a lot of the time...like I am not getting enough sleep...and then there is the night terrors are back...I had one where I shot up out of bed trying to catch Evie falling off the foot of the bed but it was just a dream I woke up trying to catch her who was sound asleep beside me...then the other night I had another vivid dream where someone was in my bedroom and I said who is there and they ran to the closet and hid there and was peeking out the closet at me and I kept asking who was there and I was getting angry and woke up and realized there was no way anyone could be hiding in my closet cuz it was jammed pack with clothes and stuff...(bedding and what nots) Anyway kinda scary considering my sleeping arrangements...yes still co sleeping with Evie she won't stay asleep in her bed once moved there...but maybe an hour...if that...and I won't let her cry herself to sleep like I did the boys...I just cannot do it...it broke my heart when I did it with the boys...but everyone told me I had to do that so they would learn to soothe themselves blah blah blah...now they hate me so yeah...I don't want this one to hate me...I hope she won't hate me...she is my last hope of not failing at being a mom...like with the boys...they hate me so much...
D even threatens that he wants to kill himself because of me and what I say to try and correct his behaviors and the way he is treating his friends and brother...where he is threatening to punch his brother J in the face if he doesn't do what he says to do and then when he does do what he says to do and fails he punches him anyway...so surprisingly J doesn't want to play with him at all cuz no matter what poor J does he still gets hurt by D there is no winning with D....and I point this stuff out to D about how it isn't nice the way he treats his brother...I am sure he does it with his friends too cuz when he has them spend the night I hear him threaten to not really punch them in the face but not have them over again or something along that lines manipulating to get his way...he does it with me also...if I don't do this or that he won't ever do this or that for me ever again...blah blah blah....I am very tired and exhausted with this cycle we are going round and round with...and I don't know how to end it...I started this choremonster thing and going to sit down with everyone tomorrow night and try and sort out prizes and chores they are willing to do for points to cash in for prizes be it time to play on the computer, xbox, tablets...money...date night with mom or dad one on one...whatever....and then sort out the points worth for each...I want to get a schedule set down for the house as well so its a predictable routine for all of us so we can know what to expect everyday and every weekend...like bedtime at 12 on weekends sometimes gets stretched to 1 or 2am sometimes longer (fri and saturday but sunday night back to 9pm (normally stretched out to 10 smh prolly need to set that earlier)...anyways I am trying to get a handle on things but the thing with medication is it is fine and dandy alone but if the situation I am in doesn't change soon it won't help to be on medication...IMHO the situation has to change as well as the medication being added...so anyways...I am trying...feel I am failing...but trying to rise above it...and do better...hey after all God said everyday is a new day rejoice and be glad in it...so yeah trying to do that...
J hasn't been eating what we fix for dinner...I don't know why he doesn't like mashed potatoes or potatoes in general but likes french fries...he has been at least drinking the protein instant breakfast packets in milk and I tell him he can fix himself a bowl of cereal or a sandwich cuz I don't want him not to eat...I don't know if its lack of appetite or a texture deal or it hurts his stomach or what...I am ready to take him to the doctor though over it because I feel like its anorexia nervosa but not the image type...its what I had where I had no appetite because my body associated food with pain so it suppressed my appetite so I wouldn't hurt...my kids are scared to go to the doctor I guess cuz they won't tell me anything is wrong with them until they cannot handle it anymore...a while back J said his stomach hurt so bad that he didn't know what was happening and was crying historically doubled over in pain....my dad's side of the family said it wasn't appendix or anything like that...probably hunger pangs so after he ate he was better...so he claimed...so he could swim more with his cousins...anyways...I am about done with this whole not eating deal...picky eater? I really seriously don't know what his deal is...he won't talk to me about it so it is very frustrating for me...he says no to everything I ask...do you think you are fat? no....does it hurt your stomach to eat certain foods? no....do you not like the texture or taste of the foods? no...what is it? I don't know....so I don't know if it is a control thing...if its a pain thing...if its a image thing...I really don't know...I do know they weigh in at nanny's and brag about how they are so and so lbs...at their school the physical education teacher stresses the importance of not being fat and to be fit and active...both boys haven't been eating much for awhile now...since matter fact Michelle Obama changed the food for public schools they have just gotten skinnier and skinnier...they need more calories than what is offered at school now...they burn a whole lot more than most kids their age...D especially...he has ADHD and cannot sit still very long...especially if he has red dye...that is another thing I notice is that when D has something with Red Dye 40 he gets more dramatic about threatening his brother to do things he wants him to do and cries and threatens to kill himself and how we wouldn't care if he ran away and what not...I blame red dye...he says its not red dye its he is a boy and he is 11 almost 12 and he is going through the change as he calls it...and he is just a teenager who has a bunch of emotions that are out of control...maybe so...but still want him to avoid red dye...but its very hard to...its in just about everything kids like to eat or drink...and its like a drug I swear...D will get hell bent on going to the gas station with his friend with his money and then come back with red dye candy and drink and just go nuts...and he won't take no for an answer...very head strong D is...J is headstrong about not eating what is fixed for dinner...he even wanted meatballs then he didn't eat hardly any of them...I don't get it...I am trying to get foods he likes to eat so he will eat...but he still wont eat...I want to take him to the store and have him pick out foods he thinks he will eat and get them all and then fix them throughout the week and if he doesn't eat them...then I will take him to the doctor...I am sick of this...he looks like he is suffering from malnutrition imho but my husband was this skinny he says he just couldn't gain weight...just like both boys...J is worse than D but D is bad too just not as bad as J....I was also skinny as a child but I don't remember being this skinny...but they won't eat...I can lead a horse to water but cant' make it drink...I am trying...failing but trying...I just hope no one takes it upon themselves to turn me in to authorities and get them taken from me...that would not be helpful what so ever...would make my situation a whole lot worse than it already is...my kids will get it in their heads that living with someone else would be much better than being with me and my husband but then quickly learn no its not better and want to come home but it would be too late then...I cannot go through another loss like losing my girls...that was my biggest loss by far and will always be my biggest loss and I will say that until the day I die...I lost two babies who died and my mother died and still I say losing my girls was the worst loss I have ever faced to date...so no that would not help me...you want to help me? OK come to my aid and help me don't duck out and secretly turn me into the child thieves....show me how it is done how to fix it come to my house and guide me in the way you think it would work with my kids...because you telling me how to do something and I do it and it don't work because I didn't understand what you meant...or it just wont work with my kids whatever it is...I would be sure it doesn't work or does because you actually came and guided me in doing what you were talking about and then I can show you it does or doesn't work...anyways...I am open to suggestions I am open for people to come and show me how it is done...I am not open to having my children taken from me and thrown into a corrupt system just because you don't think I am doing what I say I am failing at doing...or you think you know what is going on in my life but you ain't here 24 7 to know for sure what is going on...anyways...help the right way or not at all thank you...
With that...I am going to go to bed...I feel much better now that I vented this horrible stuff that has been eating at me for awhile now...so good night and please just know venting helps me much more than anything and this is my venting post and I feel much much better about my situation...just still not motivated...but I will get there...gn
Sincerely,
