Hi KinokoChan, Sounds like you have a good plan. I hope you get to work in your store so it is closer. It always seemed to me that this type of job had a huge turnover. I worked in a convenience...
Awesome Jamie, You'll have to do it again. Glad you had a good time. Hugs, Karen......
If you consider yourself to be vulnerable, then you probably shouldn't smoke cannabis. You may want to try CBD instead, I know it works for pain but have never tried for anxiety. There are two main...
Please try not to smoke cigarettes. I know it seems like it helps but cigarettes are actually a stimulant. They calm you for the moment but continuing to smoke will hurt your heart in the long run in...
Hi Hibee, My week has been good. The weather has been a little colder than I would like though. It is supposed to warm up gradually this week. I guess I like the gradual warm up because there is less...
Happy travels Kathy. Sorry about the snow. We had snow the other day but it didn't stick. Gradual warm up, but still cold. I hope you enjoy seeing your mother and your son. Enjoy your flowers. I have...
Hi KinokoChan, I am glad to see you post and it actually sounds like things are getting better but moving kind of fast. If you got a promotion, wouldn't you be making more money? Or isn't it enough...
St. John's wort. I think that is it. Ginko Biloba is supposed to be for memory and Ginseng would be a stimulant. I hope you find what works for you. Hugs, Karen......
I agree with Sharon, You don't know for sure it was the cannabis or just a change in you. And yes, you can see a therapist without taking medications. Though I think medications would calm you. Have...
Hi Countryhearts and Hibee, Raining here today. But we need it as it has been dry. Countryhearts, Awesome for you to be back at school. Graphic arts, cool!!! I am sorry you have so many assignments...
I take vitamin D3. And on occasion B. I understand that valerian and passion flower relax you. It seems that there is another one but the name escapes me at the moment. I try to sit in the sun for a...
I had two vaccinations also. The first one I just had a sore arm, but the second one gave me body aches and chills. Some people get pretty sick but it only lasts a few hours. After that my arm...
I am not familiar with your current situation. But try to take it as it comes, one day at a time. Procedures and tests can be scary. But it is probably for the best that your doctor is staying on top...
I agree. We can't control everything. Relax and have a nice time. Hugs, Karen......
Snowing here today. And unbelievably is supposed to be 70 tomorrow. We'll see. Tomorrow I get my second covid shot. I will be glad when that is over with. When my husband got his, he was sick for a...
I had hyperplasia before and it was healthy tissue that grouped together. I am sorry that nobody explained it to you. I hope you get good answers. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Alcie, I just wanted to say I am sorry for what you are going through. I just had a lesion removed Monday and waiting pathology results. I looked at some of the procedure in a file on my patient...
Hi Hibee, I am actually doing good. It is getting time for gardening here too. It is warm today but supposed to rain. My flowers are just starting to come up. I do have daffodils up though. And...
You got this Jamie, one day at a time. We are all here for you! Keep hanging on Jamie... Hugs, Karen......
Haven't noticed you posting and maybe I missed weekly thread, but hope you are doing okay. Let us know how you are. Hugs, Karen......
Here is GreenBean's post from the last thread. AKA Lynnwood... I hope you all are doing well. Hugs, Karen... JAMIE, HANG IN THERE, YOU KNOW THIS WILL PASS. WE'RE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU! aka LYNNWOOD...
Do some breathing exercises. Slows down the heart rate and breathing. Takes a lot of anxiety away. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. As if smelling the roses and blowing out the...
There were a couple people here with bpd, but I don't know if they still post. I would google it and see what you come up with, there could be groups or forums that deal with this. Do you see a...
Hi Jamie, So glad to see you posting. Don't ever give up. Just take one day at a time. Breathe. Relax. Things will get better I know. For you and for all of us. Know we all think the world of you....
Tim Tam. Just wanted to mention to you that I found 20mg melatonin on Amazon and my husband has been taking it. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Weary, I am glad you made it through the anniversaries. It isn't easy. You are a warrior. The anxiety stinks I know. Been going through it myself. I agree with you about getting your hands in the...
Hi Lynnwood, I was so happy to read the news today. I am glad your stress is down. Awesome on the plants. I used to have a venus fly trap but it didn't live long. I'm pretty sure it is something that...
Hi Everybody!!! I hope you are all doing well. Cloudy here and kind of cold. I keep hearing that four letter word, SNOW. There I said it. March was pretty nice, I thought April would be too. Though...
Hi Pitmom, I am sorry you were alone on Easter. But it sounds like you were fine with it. Just a quiet day. Thanks for sharing about your flowers. Things here are just popping out of the ground. I...
Hi Forever, You are right, time waits for no one. The older you get the faster it goes by. Try to grasp the moment and stay there. Appreciate all that you can. Big things and little. I hope you have...
Hi Forever, I would say keep practicing the meditation. It takes practice, before you know it, you will be able to control your thoughts better. It is hard though I know. Positive thinking and...
Hi SummerFun72, Welcome to the depression forum. I am sorry you are going to be an empty nester. Just curious if you will be alone or not, you didn't mention if you had a partner. It is so difficult...
Happy Easter Chotti! Happy Easter everybody. It was a nice day. I cooked dinner. Hugs, Karen......
Try meditating, it helps me. Hugs, Karen......
Nice Trina... Hugs, Karen......
I can only imagine as you are healing that it is going to be a difficult time for you. Can you talk to your doc about going on something temporarily? I don't think it matters so much why your...
Hi Lynnwood, You would think that they could make an exception due to his age. I am sorry your brother isn't helping. This is unbelievable to me. I can't believe that people would be this way....
I know what you mean about the waiting game TMo. It is hard waiting to find out as your mind goes all over the place. Keep faith that it is nothing serious. Know we are thinking of you. Hugs, Karen......
You will feel much better after your x-ray. I have to get one too. My left lung isn't pushing air out like it should. Keep us posted as to what is going on. Let us know results. Hang in there. Hugs,...
Hi Medved, Yes it depends on what you buy. I would ask the dispensary. If you get hemp cbd, you don't have to worry about sativa or indica. I don't think anyway. When I do the sleeping meditation I...
Chotti, I am going to try that with the birch bark this summer. I think it would be nice to have the thinner bark. I do have a pallet knife somewhere. Pitmom, I am sorry about your daughter's car....
Med Ved, Another thing you can try is learning meditation. It helps a lot with sleep. Just thought I would suggest it. Hugs, Karen... PS I hope you find the CBD without much THC. I have found sativas...
Thank you Trina, That was cute. I like videos like that. Pitmom, You never cease to amaze me with your flowers. Chotti, I think I am going to try to pull some live birch as it will probably be...
Thanks GG... I just have to mention that the sun finally came out. It hasn't been frequent lately. And it has been super windy. I guess that is typical for March. And we really did have a mild winter...
Hi Lynnwood... I am sorry that you are dealing with so much. I can't believe that just because he drives the Meals on Wheels program won't help him. That is despicable. My mother and grandmother got...
Thanks Chotti, I will look into these ideas. Sometimes it is so simple, I can't see it. Google selling online. Thank you. I think you have good ideas for the birch bark. I love it. I have fallen...
Thanks for asking Chotti. I bet you could decoupage the birch bark. That would look so cool. I am wanting to go in the woods behind me and look for more. I have a few birches on my property. A few...
Hello Hibee, It has been going between snow and rain here today which can be depressing. But tomorrow is supposed to be better. I am looking forward to that. My husband got his second covid vaccine...
Hibee, I hope you are able to get more cbd. It really helps a lot with pain, anxiety and sleep. GuitarGERD, I am glad that the lozenges are working good for you. I make my own salve and tincture. I...
I am glad things are okay. If anybody can do this, you can. One day at a time Mate. Keep hanging on. Hugs, Karen......
