    General Can " Rambling" Be A Symptom?

    Oh yeah, memory games... I do that a lot. Majjhong is my favorite. And I have noticed that I literally use the game to clear my mind when I feel overwhelmed with information or stress. When I'm finished playing, I feel better equipped to deal with life, focus on priorities, and seem to gain...

    General Can " Rambling" Be A Symptom?

    As I read through this thread (and thank goodness it was only 2 pages), I picked up on a ton of things that scream "Meli", but I found one element that boggled me. None of the comments are actually ramblings, and I find that sort of odd. It makes me wonder if my propensity to ramble comes from...

    How Do You Deal With Feelings?

    Heh, This morning I was inspired by Disturbed on my way home from dropping my son off at school. "Stupify" is the song; I love that one. I also just PC'd Philippa, and in my message I told her that what grounds me.... is music. I prompty came home this morning and pulled up YouTube; plugged in...

    In A Treatment Centre This Is Weird.....

    My Girl Has Fears Of Intimacy....

    Yes Ironbird...... trust. I should have looked around to see what else you have posted here; to get your background; but I didn't, so I'll wing it. Please excuse me if I'm misunderstanding anything about you or your girlfriend. Welcome to the forum, by the way. For me, it is very difficult to...

    Embrace The Christmas Spirit; Or Not!

    OH, and KP...... You're not failing! You're progressing! We have to start somewhere, and recognizing your reaction and how it is NOT how you would prefer to react.... is a great first step. I'm proud of you for stating that reaction, and hitting the enter key. Gold stars for you!!!! ~Meli

    Embrace The Christmas Spirit; Or Not!

    Anytime KP, We all make mistakes, and have bad reactions sometimes. The hardest part is fessing up, but it feels awesome to have a clean slate and move on. We're all here to help each other, so bring it on..... good or bad. It actually takes more effort and thought to deny something, than it...

    Embrace The Christmas Spirit; Or Not!

    You're not a whimp KP, The thread did start to become unsettling, and combative. I'm sorry about that. I had the same reaction myself, as I'm sure many did. I can say that I still believe it to be a learning experience for all of us, in spite of the counter-productivity. It's an excellent...

    Any Thoughts? Beware Of Long Post....

    Hi INRTD, I can relate to the paranoia, the jealousy, and the depression you stated in clear words, but I also detect a hint of feelings of failure or feelings of having no future in there. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I'd mention it, and say that I can relate just in case. You'll find that...

    Relationship Christmas Wish List – Need Help!

    Anni, Christmas was peaceful, thank you. I agree with your sound wise advice, and add to that the fact that whatever we read in a thread is not a personal attack (or shouldn't be anyway). :D I prefer not to engage in conversation here with my carer, but occasionally it can be done without...

    Very true, so I guess the "addressed directly" thing was more applicable. ~Meli
