    annoying little things

    My annoying little thing - I try to talk with my SIL, making small talk or whatever, but usually it ends up with me getting frustrated and angry. It really should not be that way whilst just making small talk - let alone if something is of importance. Example: I was unloading dryer and SIL was...

    If one more person says...

    "just take a deep breath and think calm thoughts" I will rip their head off...(ok, only in imagination, but you get it) Lately, my anxiety/depression/panic attacks have gone to a whole other level. I am now getting heart palpitations, dizzy/lightheadeness with them and terrible migraine...

    Today, I'm sad and that makes me sad

    I woke up feeling this way. I think I know contributing factors but not a real, solid one, if that makes sense. I've been off the anti-depressant for quite some time now. Every now and again I get that 'electrical zap' feeling in my brain, dizzy, lightheaded and irritated. I thought by taking...

    Pneumonia's run thru family-contagious?

    So, my niece (age 3), nephew (age 7) and my sister in law all have pneumonia. They were all give chest x-rays and antibiotics. Conflicting reports from 3 different doctors: 1 said it is highly contagious (ER doc) 1 said it was not (Urgent Care doc) and the other one said perhaps but it's hard...

    fed up w/people in general

    Perhaps it's just me, but lately I am so fed up with people ... not just my family but I feel like I have no patience for anyone. I am not without faults, and one problem I know I DO have is that I don't say what is on my mind, I get inward-angry and then that just makes me even more...

    Good Book reads

    I have immersed myself into the super awesomeness that is BOOKS!! again... Just thought I'd share an author I recently discovered and their writing is so inappropriate but so D**N funny, I was laughing so hard that the plot barely mattered, I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard :) So...

    Hi all, I haven't posted in a while! Hi everyone :bigsmile: Not much new here....meh. So, here's the deal: I had been prescribed an antidepressant and had been taking it for over 3+ years and I finally told my doc it was time to ween me off. I had read the horror stories of abruptly stopping...

    Computer stuffs

    What's the difference between Arduino and Raspberry Pi? I googled it, of course, but there's SO much info out there and I am interested in it. I know Arduino is Android based..ummm, I think...:question: What can you do with these? What kind of 'meet-up' group could I seek out that I could...

    just a FB rant, but I had anxiety attack! LOL

    I had joined FB a while back at someone's urging ( :omg: )...ugh. Now I ask why the hell did I do that? I'll get rid of it soon enough because it seems quite useless (just heightens my anxiety for some reason) -- the only real beneficial thing I see is if you are promoting something (if you own...

    Focus/concentration all time low

    Or so it seems... For the life of me, I am unable to focus or concentrate long enough to get anything done. I am surprised I can even sit still long enough to write this! I need to get back into the present moment, so to speak. But how?? My SIL literally sits and reads all day, even when...

    Physical clutter = Emotional clutter

    I was reading some random article as well as watched an episode of Dr. Oz (yes, I watch, don't judge, LOL) and both the article and the show stated that when we have cluttered homes we are emotionally cluttered. To get rid of the things we don't use, that are just junk, organize things better...

    Top Breaking Bad Episodes

    I indulged my SIL when she asked if I'd like to watch 3 seasons of "Teen Wolf" (not a bad show). Even though I nodded off a few times during some episodes, it kept my attention and on a scale of 1 - 10, I'd rate it about a 6. Not once did I gripe about a few minor inconsistencies, etc. I kept...

    Letting off steam before I lose it

    It's been a while since I've posted. I just need to vent, let off some steam and thought if I write it down and release it perhaps it'd help...to an extent... My SIL is SO &^#$*!! lazy. How do I get her off her a$$ and do something? She won't do dishes, won't vacuum, dust, nothing...all she...

    chickened out/having fun

    Has anyone ever experienced a time where you were invited to 'just hang out' with a couple people that you know, you get excited to be going out and doing something, then when the time comes you chicken out and make excuses? Personally, for me, I feel guilty if I have any fun. As strange as it...

    What pisses you off and How to help yourself

    I know that my SA has been getting worse - I know some of the main causes and I know what I should be doing about it. But when someone you talk with and trust with your issues with dealing with depression, anxiety, SA...and they regurgitate what you already know you should be doing to help...

    Brain ramblings for the day

    Well, I joined FB. (again). It is daunting, for me anyhow, when all these pics of people pop up, friends, of friends, mutual friends, who knows who, the events that allegedly people are attending, the posting of photos (some I feel I need to soak my eyeballs in bleach) .... the list goes on and...

    5-HTP & GABA-go cold turkey or slowly taper off?

    Have any of you taken GABA and/or 5-HTP? I've been taking both for a few months now thinking I could help, for lack of better wording, trick my neurotransmitters so I would not have to go back on RX anti-depressants. Well, I have noticed I am the opposite, more anxious, more likely to fly off...
