What's bothering you?
I have my first cold in years. In a bowl I put buckwheat honey, lemon slices, organic peppermint, theraflu and some water and warmed it in the microwave then took a 12 hour pill for colds. That concoction helped my throat, people also put gin in it to make type of hot toddy, alcohol wouldn't be good though.
Get well. Sorry that you're suffering atm.
Sorry Invisa. I hope you'll be alright.
I'm sweating bullets yet the temperature is cold.

sometimes i rEally wish i didn't live with my mom and grandad. no fighting. no yelling.
Hear ya, sometimes when you live with others even if you try to avoid conflict it just finds you anyways. Do you think there's a way you can talk to them about it, or you get a break from who is yelling somehow?

well me and my mom yell at eachother all the time, that isn't the problem. it's when my grandad yells at me. happens quite rarely, but he completely explodes all over me and he won't listen to what i'm trying to tell him and it's rEAlly hard for me to keep from crying when he does. when he yells, i just want to runaway-partly b/c i hate for people to see me cry, and partly b/c i hate being yelled at, especially by him b/c it's always such a volcano.
i much preferred when i was a dorm student at a college about 1.25 hours away. i came home on the weekends, and that was about as much as i could take. but now i'm at a local college so am living at home again. if i had the money, i'd find somewhere else to live so i wouldn't have to deal with their stuff.

:sad: I hope you know it's okay that you want to cry because that sounds very frustrating that someone would explode on you. You really can't force someone who doesn't want to listen to listen, I'm sorry that sounds defeating.

i know it's ok to cry, i just hate for people to see me do so. so i hold it in or hide it if it comes out.
on another note, i feel like the girl in the cave in the movie The English Patient.

I don;t live with my mom but my grandmaother resently moved in with her. I used to go over there and have dinner and watch a movie on occasion but With my grandma living there she is a very cranky person and mean to an extent so I have only gone over there a hand full of times and I don;t stay long when I do even though they don;t live that far from me. I know how you would feel If I lived with them I don;t think I would last a week there.

Why do you feel bad about crying in front of others?

I'm a bit scared. For some reason my 5htp didn't work today like it usually does, and I had no energy and a huge appetite on top of it. I've heard there are two possible causes, fast tolerance, and also that serotonin competes with dopamine so it could be lowering my dopamine? I'm not sure, but it worked SO well these last few days that I became so so hopeful again, so I really hope it continues to work.... :/ I've read reviews where it only works 2-3 days and then stops because of tolerance. I've also read reviews where people take it for years and it still works for them...

When people are kind to you, and you're kind to yourself, and you take the time to have fun and enjoy life and find things to be grateful for - life can be good. Even in spite of imperfections, even in spite of disliking parts of your appearance or your personality, even in spite of evil in the world and uncertainty, even in spite of failures. If you have the right mindset, if you keep at it, if you create habits that boost your sense of peace and accomplishment and buffer your hard times and blue moments - you can feel one with the world. You can love people and love life. Even if you don't "fit in" - you can still fit in, because you can find YOUR niche. I know because I am living proof. I haven't even begun to accomplish everything I want to socially, but I already believe I can do it.
Why? I'm not really sure. Perhaps it's the inspiring book I read recently about my new favorite runner, or maybe it's my latest focus on healthy living, or maybe some magical streak of optimism has made its way down from the cosmos and seeped into my being. I don't know. I just feel good, in spite of lack of major change in my life. My attitude has changed, not so much my circumstances.
...I just hope I can keep it that way. I admit I have a deep-seated fear of falling back into the black pit that is depression, most of which revolves around my issue with my body image. I'm afraid of how I'll react to the inevitable comments I will receive in the future regarding my appearance. But I'm going to really try not to dwell on them when they happen. Because nearly every human being on the planet receives negative comments about his or her body. Human beings are critical creatures, and some don't know how to keep their mouths closed. You can't change that fact - but you can change how you react to it. That is what I am finally beginning to accept, and to learn how to create a mental fortress that will protect me from the harshest judgment. Criticism is a part of life, as is rejection. It's time I learned how to take it in stride, no matter what happens.
Phew, long post.

I know how you feel man. I've been lonely for awhile now and life for me is heading nowhere at the moment.

I'm sorry, man. I've had my heart broken once and that's plenty for me.
I hope you are not already tolerant because I know how much you said you've improved mentally because of it. Keep taking it and see what happens.
