I'm so proud of myself... I just completed a voice conversation with someone (with my husband and the other person doing most of the talking) but I spoke... I spoke much more than I thought I could! ^_^ Considering I never speak to anyone at all, I think that's deserving of my being proud...

I've noticed that I have a habit of typing replies to posts but immediately deleting it as so not to embarrass myself with a stupid remark. I have problems communicating in real life and now it seems I'm doing this online.
Before the year is over I'll probably end up as a vegetable. :sad:

allowing myself to post forum responses quickly without thinking too much and forcing myself to refrain from unnecessary editing helped me feel more comfortable doing the same thing in real life conversations
it's like exposure therapy - the more you do something, the more you feel comfortable doing it
it also explains the 12,000 post trail of nonsense i've left in my wake :ironicsmile:

Fantastic, Starry. I dislike talking on the phone because of it's frightening nature, and here you are doing a similar thing. Well done!
I do think about it, and I still think it's delicious.
Also, I would rather my meat be dead than alive when I try to eat it!

I feel so down right now that I really think it would be of benefit to get a counselor again. Problem with that is that I will not be able to apply to the military if I'm seeing a mental health specialist. Should I lie to my doctor and say I'm not experiencing any depression so he/she (I don't have one yet) can say I'm fit for duty, or should I be honest and get some help and forego the military? That's erasing another potential option for my future. And I know the doctor and counselor are going to push meds on me, but I really, REALLY don't want to take another SSRI. I hate how much they push those things. I don't trust drugs that screw with your brain chemistry, and someone in my family is living proof of why I am right to be mistrustful...

^^ Can you explain the situation about the military to your doctor and see what they think? Perhaps there's some alternative which can both help you now and not ruin your chances of being accepted.

I have problems with my eyes. I lose parts of my vision at times.
The eye doc said that nothing is wrong with my eyes whatsoever, so it must be my brain.
The neurologist said that she can not find anything with the regular tests, so it's not MS or something similiar. And that they could do a brainscan, but would advise against it, except if it gets really bad. She said it might be a problem with fluctuating blood pressure, or a silent migraine.
Silent migraine would be a very rare thing where for all kinds of reasons I can lose temporarily parts of vision. Be it stress, lack of sleep, wrong food, just like that, who knows. It can't be cured and has a higher risk for a stroke.
Blood pressure thing? Maybe. I don't know.
I had this even as a child, but only very rarely, like once every few years. Then I didn't have it for a decade or so. Last year it started again, came for two or three weeks on and off, and vanished again. Now, about a week ago, it came back.
It's very annoying. I'm a programmer. When I have vision problems, I can't program. I can type, but barely read. Currently I have this every two days or so for maybe 45 minutes.
I don't know what to do about it. It worries me, because my brain is ****ed up, and I can't do **** against it.

That's scary! Sorry to hear that! I wonder if there is information on the internet. Maybe another sufferer finally found the cause. Good Luck! I really hope you succeed in finding out what is going on.
