    Good thoughts for my FIL, please

    I will certainly give as many positive vibes and thoughts as possible for your father in law. You should feel comforted that he is so lucky to have somebody like you to care so much for him. That works wonders. Sara

    anxiety meds

    I am actually going to a doctor tomorrow morning to see about taking drugs. I have suffered from depression for YEARS but have refused to take drugs because I always felt that if I tried hard enough, I could change things. And honestly, in most cases, I could. It takes a lot of hard work...

    Check your phone bills

    More than anything else, I'd be very cautious about Verizon. I don't think it is a coincidence at all that these problems are stemming from them. I finally switched from them 8 or 9 months ago after my phone bills were coming back to me every single month very different, even though I kept my...

    The difference between men and women

    I'm right there with you on this one. My SO is also fabulous in so many ways, and while he claims to be an expressive, emotional person - he's not. It hurts, actually, that he can see that I am so unhappy/depressed/sad/frustrated/etc and not feel inclined to even acknowledge it. If I'm not in...

    Panic Attacks / Anxiety

    I really had no idea how many of you have been through this anxiety. It is amazing to us how some of us deal with life and it's problems. I wish I had inherited my dad's outlook: He doesn't worry about anything. I mean, sometimes it's to a fault, but still. I actually went out last night...

    Panic Attacks / Anxiety

    Thank you SO much! The support and the different points of view are incredibly helpful. I would absolutely love to get by without meds, but in reality, I am becoming more open to them if they will improve my quality of life. I'm starting to look at it as one of the pieces to the puzzle and...

    Panic Attacks / Anxiety

    Thank You Thank you all for chiming in. It helps tremendously to know that people understand. Sometimes it's worth more than any medication :). I used to be completely against medications, but I also know that I've been feeling low for years now so I obviously don't know how to handle this...

    Panic Attacks / Anxiety

    I hate to be a downer, but I feel like this is the best place to go for advice. I'll start out by saying that I've had a really rough few years, and it seems like things never stop piling up. I try really hard to take things in stride and realize that in the grand scheme of things, everything...

    Just an idea.

    I'm In :) If you'll have me. I'm currently working my way through a drawing and painting degree. The class I'm currently in isn't my style, but I'd like to join a group of artists to look at each other's work and perhaps bounce ideas around with eachother :) Sara

    College move in day-long

    Ok, so NOTHING compares to being run over by a jerk like that. I am so glad that you are ok!! But now I live in an area where EVERYBODY is a complete and utter you-know-what, so this doesn't surprise me at all. Where is the college? The people sound familiar :P. So a year ago, my BF and I...

    $ 1,200 for health insurance

    I meant to watch that Oprah, but I didn't make it to the TV in time today. I watched Michael Moore's "Sicko" a couple of months ago, and I have to tell you that I have NEVER, ever been more upset in my life. I was crying at the end and so absolutely devastated by what I saw. I still can't get...

    low blood pressure/low heart rate hypochondria!

    Oooh! I had two questions for you: 1.) What kind of clay do you use for your baths? 2.) What is the red-fruit antioxidant powder you use? Thanks!

    low blood pressure/low heart rate hypochondria!

    Hi again, Kathryn :) I am actually an oldie member, but decided to change my name, for no good reason. I was "sblordita." Either way, I always enjoy your posts, so I'm not surprised I responded to you, first ;). I SO experienced the same sleep pattern you're describing. Little to no...

    low blood pressure/low heart rate hypochondria!

    Prednisone!! Kathryn! I had to take that stuff when I first came down with mono this summer. My lymph nodes and tonsils were so bad I hadn't eaten in a week, couldn't sleep, could hardly breathe. I gave in after more than a week of pure misery. The stuff started working within two hours...
