Hi TMO, In actuality, you poisoned yourself with vodka. That is what happens if you over do it drinking. Hangovers are no fun and I don't remember you talking about the headache you often get when...
I know how you feel. And even if it slows down, I have heard it will come back in fall. It is scary and it is sad. But Hibee is correct. We need to stay away from others as much as possible. Only go...
Thank you for sharing Trina. It is so appreciated by all. Hugs, Karen......
Hi Trina and Kathy, I hope both of you are having a good day. Dreary here today, I think I am going to bake as it is cool and damp. Peanut butter cookies is what I have in mind. After I clean up the...
HI Mike, On 03/22 you were raking in your yard. On 03/24 you got a foot of snow. Oh what a difference a day makes. Or maybe two days but anyway, I hope you got shoveled out. It is warm here today you...
Focus on you Labelle, try to ignore them if it's possible. I feel for you. Especially being trapped with the fil. When we are depressed, we have no energy. I am in bed by nine. I would go to bed at...
Thank you Tim Tam... Hugs, Karen......
My therapist has never talked about mind reading but she can sure tell if something is wrong. I guess she has paid enough attention to me to know by my mannerism or something.. She can tell my moods...
You are so right Tim Tam. I am glad you bring her memory to the table. She is so missed. I have lost a few people here and they were all good souls. It is funny because you don't realize the impact...
Interesting Rat. Thanks for sharing. Sumatra sounds exotic. I hope you are able to retire there. I guess what we share here is often an opinion. People aren't expected to always agree. I guess I...
LOL Mr. Jamie!!! Hugs, Karen... Breathe deeply... Ha......
Hi Bonnie B... Welcome to the forum. If you are in need, there is a resource thread at the top of the page with a ton of information. I hope you have a nice day... Hugs, Karen......
I am diabetic, I urinate often especially at night. But I have had a uti and you feel like you have to pee every five minutes and then it becomes painful especially if you pass blood. I hope the...
Generally (not always though) breast cancer (if it is a cancerous lump) will be on the outside of your breast. The side that faces your arm. When the nipple is involved it will usually bleed or have...
Hi Tela44, Thanks for posting. Yes, faith. We have to keep the faith. That is what keeps us going. I don't think we know a lot of what we need to do to deal with this pandemic. But they are working...
I am happy for you Nemeia… Hugs, Karen......
You can still probably call the clinic and pick up your meds at the drug store. So much is done electronically now. Best wishes, try not to worry. Hugs, Karen......
DMO, Try to stay calm. Getting anxious doesn't help anything. They are doing the best they can between the governors and the cdc. The big guns weren't prepared, but I think that everyone is doing the...
Mike, Use caution. You should be able to tell if somebody is sick. We are all taking a gamble when we go out, but sometimes it is necessary. Everything is shutting down here too. Stay safe everybody....
I am glad you don't get cavities so you don't have to deal with it. Way to go Tim Tam. Have a good day. Hugs, Karen......
You have not Oceanfisher58. We just can't let the conversation get into too much religion here. Like I said, prayer can be comforting. It is a scary time right now. Do what makes you feel better. I...
My first husband (who passed in 2000) was in the army and stationed in the swamps of Mississippi. That is where he got his name swamprat. Plus he liked swamps.. He was from North Carolina originally....
Hi Everybody, Beautiful afternoon with sunshine. We've had a couple colder days. Wednesday it is suppose to be in the 50's (F). That will be nice if it doesn't rain. Been quiet in my neighborhood for...
Have you ever tried ear plugs or noise cancelling headset? Just curious. Being it is drill against teeth though these methods might not work. It is kind of right in your head I imagine. I don't like...
Hi Everybody, Sunny here this afternoon but it was kind of chilly today. Though the snow is going down. I am happy for that. I know how it feels Pitmom.. I am doing no different than before as I...
I honestly feel the best thing we can do is try our best not to panic and not to spread the virus. There is so much going on right now. We have to have faith. We aren't suppose to discuss religion on...
I think that the way people dress is a preference. A lot of men and women find that they feel better when they dress professional. I, myself am not intimidated by a suit and tie. And I don't feel it...
Hi Angel, Do you have a mental health office near you that you could call and get started? This could be the one thing that saves your relationship. I don't want you to feel like you are a bad...
But Mike, When or if I get that angry everything is done on impulse. And I cannot control how I feel. Granted it has been years since I felt that angry. But I can't agree that people can control...
I wish we had "like" buttons Trina because I would like this post. Thanks for the positive statement. Huggles, Karen......
I think this would be a good time to work on yourself. I posted on your other thread. I asked a few questions you didn't answer. Are you seeing a therapist or psychiatrist or doctor to manage your...
Mike, in my experience with my anger issues I cannot control my temper. I rarely get angry but when I do, I see red. I say things I don't mean to. I do things I don't mean to. But I am getting better...
Know people are coming together to help combat what is going on. I am going to help make face masks. I am helping a friend and co-moderator, she is doing all the sewing though. But there are people...
Hi Nemeia, I am so happy for you!!! I am glad you got a medication that seems to be working rather quickly. I think in time you will have the thoughts leaving your mind. I am glad you are able to eat...
HI Numeric, I am so happy you got help and before the pandemic. It sounds like the meds are helping and that is fantastic! If by any chance they need tweaking later on, know that happens sometimes....
Hi AngelWhisperer, I posted to you on your thread. But I want to ask you again if you are seeing anybody about your depression. That might be a good place to start. Either doctor, psychiatrist or a...
Being confined to small spaces makes things more difficult. Try to be tolerant. Try not to argue. Even if you don't agree. Times are trying right now and you two are going to be stuck with each other...
Wow Lynnwood that would be awesome. Kind of like a therapy cat. I am lucky I have my dog. She keeps me from getting bored. Plus my hubby who goes out very little now. Just to grocery shop. I am alone...
I think you are right. As with anyone actually. When we feel negative, everything else seems negative. But it seems negativity just kind of goes along with the depression. It takes a lot of positive...
One thing I have noticed is that on facebook a person I know is posting a lot about indoor activities that kids can do and learn from. I like that idea of watching the animals Kathy. We all do what...
A gratitude journal is a fabulous idea. Writing about things such as these times are can become historical too. Hang in there everybody. One breath at a time. Hugs, Karen......
Do you have a therapist that you can talk to or a doctor? Do some breathing exercises, they bring the panic down. Meditation and mindfulness helps too. You really need to eat something, maybe...
US kind of acted late too. Trump wasn't concerned and told people with the virus they should still go to work. Stupid. I heard you can freeze milk, so you might want to think about doing that. Be...
Things are getting cancelled here too. I have a therapy appointment next month. Doubt it will be on, but you never know as it is one on one. I am glad you are getting the Nintendo switch. I ordered...
Wow Miranda, That is so disappointing about the group therapy. I have never gone to group therapy. I fear I wouldn't say anything either. I never could talk well in groups of people. And sharing...
Could something be irritating it? Clothing maybe fabric in your bra? Nipples are very sensitive. I know how you feel about going to the hospital. I went yesterday for a fasting blood draw in the...
Thank you for the informative post Miranda. I am staying home as much as possible. Washing my hands. Trying to learn without dwelling too much. Enough to not get anxious as I did one day last week....
Hi Maddixone, I think most everybody is feeling this way. Try to take it one day at a time. A lot of stores are opening early just for elderly. There is also something that passed to make sure people...
Making the best of the situation. I think with the way people are on their cell phones anyway, they can talk to one another. Or find entertainment. Thanks Trina for sharing. Hugs, Karen......
Trina, I hate when that happens. Especially when it is long. I hope you repost. Mike, I think it is awesome you worked at the food pantry. It is cool to read it is snowing somewhere other than here...
