    Light the Night Walk

    Hello. :) Some of you know that I have leukemia (and now others know :P). As a surprise to me, my fiance signed us up to do the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk for our anniversary. I've been wracking my brains trying to think of all the places I can ask people to donate, and...

    Oxycodone and nausea

    This isn't about medication for social phobia, but I've been prescribed oxycodone for pain and the nausea is incredibly, incredibly bad. I've googled and everything says that eating with it helps, but I have no appetite, and that it gets better the longer you take it, but I need advice for NOW...

    I'm engaged!

    Whooooo! My boyfriend (well, now fiance :cool:) actually managed to SURPRISE me with his proposal, which is a big shocker, lol. While he was making dinner, he asked me to look up a song he had been talking about on Youtube, and when I came over to the computer to do it, I saw this: and this...

    Getting a Job.

    Aaaargh, I feel awful because I have no job--I feel guilty and embarrassed and miserable. I've decided that I'm tired of feeling like I'm mooching off everyone around me, and I'm tired of, when anyone asks me what I do for a living, I give the half-answer of "I'm a housewife." That doesn't fly...

    Container Gardening

    I've been thinking that I'd like to have a garden, but we don't have any specific area that is OURS alone, that I would feel comfortable planting a garden in. I thought of doing it on our balcony, in pots, and I really want to. It would make the house look nicer and it would make me feel better...

    My grandpa died.

    I really don't like making new threads--I prefer to just respond to other people, but I feel the need to write this out. Apparently my grandpa died last night. It was expected, I don't remember if I wrote about it here or not but he just recently got diagnosed with lung cancer and the doctors...

    Phobias.

    I don't know if another thread has been done like this, but it's always kind of nice to know that you're not alone in a specific phobia. So what are your phobias (or just really weird fears, even if it doesn't qualify as a phobia)? I have a ton of odd fears. Some of them are: *I'm absolutely...

    I feel awful :S

    I'm not entirely sure why I suddenly feel so incredibly awful. It's just suddenly hit me these past two days or so. I don't want to do anything. I just lay in bed all day, and get up with just enough time to straighten up the house and get dinner going so that my boyfriend doesn't know that I've...

    What's your favorite smell?

    I opened up the window and my landlord is mowing the grass, and I got a big whiff of fresh-mown grass and it was marvelous. I love that smell. Some of my favorites are: *Jasmine *Freshly-mown grass *Cleanliness (like when you've cleaned out the whole house and opened all the windows and doors...

    The "Pull Funny Faces" Thread

    Aw, hell, why not. I've got nothing to lose, except my dignity. :P I have an awful habit of making awful faces in almost every photo that's taken of me. Here are some recent gems (and please don't leave me hanging, people, post some of yours too! They're good for a laugh, and Lord knows we all...

    Tornadoes

    A tornado warning has been issued in my area. :( One has actually been spotted near where we used to live! I'm so scared. I've never been in a tornado, and I know the likelihood of it hitting where I'm at now is low, but I'm still freaking out quite a bit, especially because my boyfriend is out...

    Hi.

    Hi, my name is Amanda and I'm 21. I live in Florida, USA. I've dealt with social phobia for as long as I can remember, though it wasn't a huge problem while I was growing up, because people would approach me and the friendship would take its time growing, and I didn't really have to put in too...
