Forever... I hope that you are feeling better. Hugs, Karen......
It is lovely to hear about flowers from people in states that aren't as cold as it is here. Thank you and also thank you to Pitmom for sharing with us. I hope you all are having a good day today....
I found 20mg melatonin for hubby on Amazon. He tried last night. Will let you know how it went. Hugs, Karen......
I find with recent events I too have catastrophic thinking. I call it worst case scenario thinking. I think of some of the worst possible things. I think we are all getting this from anxiety. Chotti,...
Hi Chotti, Thanks for understanding. The country is topsy tervy right now. It is hard. Feel free to email me if you want to chat about things. We have snow. Last night we got freezing rain....
Hi Chotti, I removed one sentence out of your post as we aren't supposed to discuss politics. Though I understand your concern. Have a good day today. Hugs, Karen......
Thanks for the good vibes Chotti. It means a lot. Not much going on at this end. Kind of windy here today but not too cold. Not warm by any means though. Supposed to get a storm coming in Thursday....
Good day you all. Not too cold here. But storm coming Thursday. Could be snow or rain. Probably ice. Hope you all are doing well and have a good day. Hugs, Karen......
I am sure you are a lot less risky now than you were in your younger years Jamie. Hope you hear from Reef soon. Take care mate, have a good sleep. Hugs, Karen......
We will get through it, thank you Paul... Hugs, Karen......
Chotti, I think seed catalogs start coming out this month. I didn't have any plants last year. Didn't even go to the greenhouse store. No flowers except a basket somebody got me. This year will...
Thanks Trina for sharing. I think if nothing else this year has taught us to be kind to each other. Hugs, Karen......
I hope that they find the source of the noise FP. This must be so exhausting for you. Let us know when they find the mystery noise. Hugs, Karen......
Kathy, I am so sorry to hear about Sid. I know how it feels to lose them suddenly. May peace be with you knowing you took good care of him. Good day to all. Hugs, Karen......
OceanFisher, I am just thinking telemed is better than nothing. I really think antianxiety medication would help you to not suffer so much. I think you need to seek out a therapist or psychiatrist....
I am so glad I can meditate. We have noisy neighbors who blast their music. Plus they rev up car engines. Once I fall asleep it usually doesn't wake me but getting to sleep can be a challenge. At...
Hi Weary, I am sorry you are having a difficult time. Maybe try slowing down the mind to take the pressure off. Focus on one thing at a time. I am sure things will be better for you. It's a new year,...
Happy New Year to all!!! We all have a lot to look forward to. Hopefully the end of covid and things getting back to somewhat normal. I guess it will be a new normal. Hugs to all. Karen......
I hope everybody had a happy New Year!!! It was quiet for me as usual. But they dropped a ball in the park. I didn't see it but I heard the fireworks. I wish for you all a safe and healthy year. And...
Happy 2021 Jamie!!! May peace and joy be with you this year! Hugs, Karen......
I find meditation and mindfulness help but is it possible you have ADD or ADHD? Do you have a counselor you could talk to? Or even a doctor? It could be something simple that mindfulness will help....
Thanks Jamie for starting new thread. Chilly here this morning but not as bad as yesterday and tomorrow warmer. I hope. Welcoming the New Year. 2021 has got to be better than 2020. Have a good day...
That's awesome Jamie. Hope you are feeling better. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Jamie, Glad you are finding things to do that help. Have an awesome sleep mate. Hugs, Karen......
Is that called tinnitis? I spelled it wrong. Can you talk to the doctor about it? I hope you find a remedy. Hugs, Karen......
Stay safe Hibee and everyone else. Cold here in Michigan. But yesterday was sunny and not windy. It was actually nice outside, but not warm. I hope you all have a good week. Hugs, Karen......
Awesome Trina!!! HI Chotti, Hi HT, Hi everybody, Hugs, Karen......
OceanFisher, If I were you I would contact a psychiatrist and see if they have anybody doing telephone therapy. You can use skype, zoom or facetime. Or just the telephone. Have you ever had therapy?...
Tim G, I am glad that your mother is going to get the covid vaccine. It must be a relief to know. Keep hanging in there. Hugs, Karen......
Oceanfisher, Breathe. Do you do breathing exercises? They really help with stress and anxiety. Also mindfulness. Open the mind to let good things in. Stay in the moment. Positive thinking. Focus on...
I guess the date would be more prevalent to you than it would be to them. Basically because it means so much to you. They are probably just glad you are you. So I would try not to fault them. You...
Thank you Hibee, I am wishing you a Merry Christmas. And I want to add a safe and happy New Years. You are right Christmas can be hard. I know some that wont even acknowledge it because they know it...
Counting our blessings is the only way to get through it. Be grateful for what we have. Knowing others don't have makes me sad. Pay it forward as they say. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Miranda, I am sorry to hear about your cousin and his friend. There are getting to be a lot of cases in the little town I live in. A friend of mine has it and all total in her family 7 people have...
Congratulations Pitmom, We are all so very proud of your accomplishments. And GreenBeans is right, one day at a time. I will write more later. I got interrupted. Hugs, Karen... I am back after a few...
Merry Christmas everybody, I feel this holiday is kind of bittersweet this year. We are all trying to be positive though which is good. It is hard for many of us I am sure. Icy here and windy....
I think right now everybody is suffering. It is hard saying what we want with forum rules, but I bet a lot of people feel the same way and can sympathize with you OF. I know that there are people...
Though it is easy to get attached even to a doctor, the best thing I think you can do is just enjoy each visit. Try not to think of it ending in the future. I worry about mine retiring, but try to...
Meditation is a life saver for me. That is what I do to go to sleep. Also doing it during the day is extremely calming. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Sunshine1127, Welcome back! I hope whatever is causing you physical illness gets better soon. You are correct, this too shall pass. Keep hanging in there and have a Merry Christmas. Hugs, Karen......
My husband takes 10mg of melatonin at 6:00 pm. Goes to bed later. I do meditation. The meditation takes practice. I hope you can get some sleep. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Kathy, Awesome you got to see that. I honestly forgot. I bet that was cool. I too am glad about winter solstice. Longer days to be anticipated. Have a good one. Hugs, Karen......
Thank you Miranda. I am glad you can walk still if you feel like it. I think things are getting bad everywhere. Some of my friends have covid now. I am glad I have stayed to myself. I still worry...
Thanks Jamie for sharing. You write eloquently. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Miranda, I hope you have a nice Christmas. I hope you get to go to your mum's house if that is what you would like to do. It is so crazy now. I did hear about the mutant strain the other day but...
Even though it may be difficult at this time, I think we can all find something to be thankful for or happy about for a few days. Five days until Christmas. Though it isn't much, just the two of us...
Meditation is good for sleep like Jamie says. Good sleep hygiene. Same time to bed, not a lot of stimulation before sleep. No phones or computers. Limit tv. Best wishes with the celexa. Hugs, Karen......
Very insightful post Jamie. You should post this or a similar in depression too if you want. You are still young. I think I have close to 20 years on you and I am still kicking. Enjoy your youth....
I heard about the mutant strain yesterday. I think it is here too. Not positive. It sure has been a strange year. Hope 2021 is better. I hope you can get the money sent. I know how much this means to...
A good attorney will let you know just where you stand and what will help you the most. Don't forget with covid, you can think it ran it's course and it can knock you down with no warning, he may not...
