    Darn, kick myself for doing this

    I could kick myself...dumb move and I KNOW NOT TO DO THIS.... I was talking with my NY friend, and he'd mentioned something about shooting some more pics at a meet up event he had attended....of course I want to see his work (BTW couldn't find it - didn't put it up yet I guess) but one website...

    Others pointing out your faults

    Have any of you encountered friends, family, or co-workers who point out flaws? Recently, I have been trying to take more initiative to get out more, try to not crumble under SA pressure when someone speaks to me, getting out for walks, swimming, even exercising and of course, eating better...

    An observation I overlooked

    We just got back from a theme park and I had fun. But one of the things I had observed was the fact that parents didn't shy away from letting their kids ride on roller coasters, etc. I know, so what? So what's your point... Well, my fear of roller coasters, driving, living in general...I...

    Lemon Balm

    With everything else, this may not work for you. What works for one person, may not work for others...that being said, I took a stab at it and bought some Lemon Balm (aka Melissa) extract .. and tried the herbal tabs as well... and I must say, for me, it seems to help at least take the edge off...

    Feeling really depressed, angry

    I don't even really know why. My back is really hurting me. I spoke with my grandma the other day and mentioned it and every time I say something, her response is always, "You're too young for that" Well, then is it all in my head? Are the Migraines all fake? My depression? My Anger...

    skin highly sensitive to touch

    I was gifted a 1 hour massage (head to toe). I've had massages in the past, but they were never pleasant experiences. In fact, instead of relaxing time, it was a nail biter and it hurt. It's been 2-3 years since and never wanted another one. Well, the other day my back was so bad that I could...

    over-extending yourself/people pleaser

    I think that is what I am doing...no, I KNOW that is it. I had a quiet weekend -finally- after a long week with the kids. I averaged 14 hours a day last week being a people pleaser. I did everything for the kids, and nothing for myself except jump in the shower for 7 minutes and back to work...

    sick and tired of being sick and tired

    The past couple weeks I've felt just not with it...kinda like on the verge of a cold or something. Almost every day I wake up with a headache ... goes away in afternoon but comes back next morning. I've been waking up around 3:30 am and getting off 'work' about 14 hours later. I only get a few...

    Should I have handled this differently?

    Over-thinking about over-thinking

    This was a while back but recently learned some new facts: I just realized while talking with someone that I was sleeping with this person and he was allegedly 'in love' with someone at the time. It happened a while back and all the 'facts' are just coming to surface. I thought if someone were...

    Disinterest in movies/tv

    Anyone else ever go through this? Not a big deal, of course, but I used to be the first person to get in line for the new releases, watch a lot of TV, play video games, watch all the current ones and catch up on the older movies...you name it, I watched it. I was really no more busy than I am...

    men/women/weight issues-*may be offensive to some* Apology in advance

    I apologize if this may be offensive to some; I am repeating only what my SIL and I were discussing. My SIL and I had a conversation the other day (yes, we do have civil times in the house-whoa!) and she was telling me about a meeting at work she had attended. After the meeting, Some of the...

    Back trouble anyone?

    I have been experiencing bad, really bad lower back pain for a few months. I know at least a couple of the causes is tight hips, lack of adequate exercise and tugging around the little one around in the the baby bjorn. But now I've noticed that I have these 'lumps' or 'bumps' in my lower back, 2...

    life's little irritants/a rant

    I went to the movies today; went to see Iron Man 3. It was good, from what I can remember of it! .... So the morning began with SIL coming into my bedroom far too early - with both kids. Asking, 1. Can you help me give the medicine (to the youngest)? I can't seem to do it... ok, I'll stop...

    Why the HE** do I keep doing stupid stuff

    So I received a text from a buddy of mine. In one sentence that he said to me, I flipped and made a huge deal and even bigger mistake of posting it to a public forum (Quipio app) - I didn't use any names, but quoted what was said, posted it and yes, I knew this person was a member on the site...

    How to reduce rumination

    I, like someone else I know, have been ruminating as of late. I will get in a good place - feeling happy, mood is more stabilized, etc. Then something will trigger a past thought, memory, activity, the good times, and BAM! I am back feeling blah, low, sad, angry. My NY buddy has also...
