Hi Pitmom, So sorry to hear kitty crossed rainbow bridge. Sending healing vibes and prayers. Hugs, Karen......
Awesome thread HT. Good advice. Much needed. I hope you have a good sleep mate. Hugs, Karen......
Thanks Chotti, would love to see them. We have a good bit of snow now. There was a storm yesterday but we just got some snow, not bad winds or anything. We lucked out. I hope you all have a good day...
Asiangal555, I am glad to read that you are improving. I don't blame you for not wanting to take pain medication. I hope that you keep improving. Can you get out and walk? It often helps us. Hugs,...
Hi cln777, I take 5000iu of D3 a day. It is a high level and my blood work shows levels high. I feel good though at this level. And if I forget to take it I sure notice. I read that 4500 is enough...
You are right Forever, all we can do is move forward. Keep saving. Every little bit adds up. In no time you will notice. I hope everybody has a good day. Chotti, I have had the GSD as long as I can...
Best wishes HT. Funny about the gardener. Good luck with OT. Hugs, Karen......
I am sorry, this forum is for depression support....
I have never tried Cymbalta but I took some close to it, effexor and pristiq and both worked for me. I think some members have taken it and hopefully they will chime in. Best wishes with trying...
Kathy, Awesome on the shelter dog. I myself have to look the breed up. It seems that I have heard of it before, but not sure. So I most likely have not. You have such a kind heart. Hugs, Karen......
Interesting Chotti, the dog toy. And how your dog knows what buttons to push. I have had dogs all of my life too. I don't know how it would be to be without one. Though I did go from May to November...
Good for you! Now you can start a new chapter in your life. It does take time, but keep moving forwards. Hugs, Karen......
Try putting up a mental stop sign. When you find yourself thinking about the what ifs, say STOP, STOP, STOP. Picture the stop sign. Think of something else. It takes practice but it works. I find...
Hi Jennifer, Welcome to HealingWell. I am sorry you are having flashbacks from the relationship. I think that it would help to try to find other things to think about. Are there any projects you like...
Hi Valkryie, Welcome to the anxiety and panic forum. I am glad you found us. My husband took Trazodone for awhile for sleep. He takes melatonin now. I found some 20mg and he has been taking them for...
Hi Pitmom, Sounds like you have a lot going on right now. Remember to take care of you. Keeping you in my prayers. Hugs, Karen......
Forever, He said yes, it is better than the ten. I think it affects him sooner too. It seems like when he takes it he goes to bed shortly there after. His doctor told him to take it at 6:00 and go to...
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....
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...
