So I’ve decided to create a journal so I could follow my experience and share with others, and hopefully continue to get great advice! I have copied a post I made following up to my original post and cut is short a bit.
Female Wardrobe
My order arrived too much excitement and I gave myself one spray of IS on one wrist and spread it to the other by pressing down
Day one IS x 1 spray
Self affects - Possibly placebo
Driving to meeting:
Felt extremely happy, thought the world looked wonderful - it did though as it is a gorgeous day here today.
Found myself smiling
Felt very optimistic (I’m pretty much optimistic anyway but lately not so much so it was nice to feel that again!)
Felt very impatient and interested to get to a meeting I never want to go to and never look forward to - it felt like it took forever to get there although it took no longer than normal. It may have been that I was just dying to see if my IS would have any affects!
Driving from meeting:
Generally I am anxious as this weekly meeting eats into other work I do and I will usually have lots of emails awaiting my return, today though I wasn’t anxious at all and generally had a “they can wait” attitude. I even went shopping on the way home rather than rush back and ate lunch without taking my sandwich up to my office so I could get to working asap.
Effects on others:
This mornings meeting what is usually chaotic was very calm and we actually got to make decisions ? he seemed more ordered. He is generally happyish around me and despite his extremely stressful state following a bad week last week was happy today as usual if not more but without the normal sinking into crisis thoughts that he usually has. Very productive meeting.
I left the office on two occasions and each time I returned I noticed the smell of the IS. It smells like the top of my children heads.
My daughter was home when I got back, being a teen her mood could be anything?. She was happy today though as she had managed to get a day off school due to a uniform mishap? however I did notice as we chatted while I made my lunch that she was slightly giggly and asked two questions which I answered and then asked them again as if she was distracted? hmmmm?. Laughed at herself a good bit, her mood did seem very up.
Later that evening
My daughter continued to be in a great mood and I even got a spontaneous hug. My son seemed unaffected, but difficult to tell with him due to his intellectual disabilities, I did notice he kindof leant back into me when I stood behind him, but it was so subtle as to not have happened unless I was looking to see a reaction, maybe he does that anyway and I don’t tend to notice.
Hubby came home and was his usual, but maybe not, I can’t say anything about his level of affection or attention as he is always very very affectionate and stares at me and touches me a lot. We sat together for a while and he who is usually untalkative to the point of mute told me about a program he watched on Netflix the night before, which isn’t unusual that he would say he watched such and such and it was good/bad etc. that would be it, the unusual part was he then proceeded to tell me in so much detail about what the program was about that there is no point in me watching it now as I know every detail… so this is just with IS, I’m dying to see how IO affects him ![]()
