Do you have any you can recommend? It sounds worth a go. I've heard there good for joints too.
good friend of mine makes this product ... seems to be picking up momentum with it.https://www.ohmgwater.com
I read Greenbot and Ground effects posts and my first thought was "work doesn't sound like its helping your mental health"
I think we spend so much of our lives at work, wrapped up in certain tasks and deadlines, we forget about ourselves and only realise when its too late.
I'm just NHS admin on 3 days a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) and I was asked to do more and work 5 days a week, which I did for about 6 months.
I bloody hated it. In my current 3 day pattern, for every day I worked, I have a day off (so work Mon, have tues off, work wed, have thurs off etc) and I liked that.
Yes the extra money was nice, but in the grand scheme of things, didn't make a huge difference, so jacked that in.
Having the two days off in the week is much nicer. and maybe one for the council thread but I've just purchased myself a new Lazy Spa hot tub. Frivolous purchase yes, but nice to have something to relax in on my days off and i'm starting to realise at the age of 40, you can't put a price on mental wellbeing.
That said, I'm still feeling anxious on a daily basis. Not done anything about it yet, I could go the GP, but reluctant to take any medication so might try some other solutions or supplements.

I'm currently homeless and you all here crying at home about stress and anxiety... sad to read but you have no idea how strong you are
Instability of homelife has to be one of the biggest stressors. I'm very sorry to hear that. Do you have any path back to a rental or similar?As for who is deserving of stress releif, we are all only human. We all get thirsty if we don't drink water, and we all have stress that has real physical impact on our body. It's no less real for being a different trigger
