Yes I see myself in your post. I'm here too much. I worry about what I wrote and check back for replies and freak out when no one replies and feel ignored and think I'm hated. Was feeling exactly that the last two days. But I do wallow in self pity so I try to talk myself out of it. I promised...
Portishead
Western Eyes
Forgotten throes of anothers life
The heart of love is their only light
Faithless greeds, consolidating
Holding down sweet charity
With western eyes and serpents breath
We lay our own conscience to rest
But I'm aching at the view
Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like...
Grama-Herc,
I certainly hope I did not give the impression that shelters or shelter animals are bad. I got Hampton at the shelter I worked at at and had him until he died at age 17. I loved him and he was a great dog. I had several great dogs in my care there.
Once, a rottie broke his leash...
Metis,
I've taken a break from work and was just diagnosed with MDD severe. I agonized over leavng work for so long I actualy had a break down and had to leave. I have been out since 3/3/09 and am struggeling with feelings of failure and so forth.
My therapist doesn't want me at work. She...
All I know is that when my clients are in jail all of their money stops and you cannot get that back, only be re-instated and get new funds. Lots of states have that rule about criminality.
Hi 2quilt,
If you go to a shelter, you might get two kittens that are already in the same cage and know one another or are siblings.
As for your older cat, it depends on her/his disposition. My mom's cat and my sister's cat have to be kept apart but my mom's cat is a very mean bastard. My...
Thank you for the support, it really, really helps. It's a great combination of caring and laughter, puts things in perspective.
I guess since everything's gone to shit lately I'm feeling rather sorry for myself. Bad habit.
Once I find my feet again, solid ground, I'll feel better.
Cat
Nice thread. Thanks!!!
I've been to the upper penninsula of Michigan, it's beautiful. The water is so clear you can see all the way to the bottom. I love it there.
I've been to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia in October. The colors were gorgeous and blue ridge pines stay green all year...
I know this has probably been going on for years but I'm seeing a new therapist for the first time in more than ten years and she's added Major Depressive Disorder Severe on to the PTSD.
I'm trying to tell myself nothing has changed, I've been this way for a long time but I feel sad, and...
Welcome Sinead!
I used to vomit during full blown panic attacks, which ususally hit me in the middle of the night, or if I over did something, or got to excited about something.
Now that I've had gastroparesis for three years I vomit less often.....a combination of what I eat (soft or liquid...
You guys make me laugh. The things we are attached to (and why) are more interesting than my original question!
What things are people attached to?
I had some strange piece of machinery, small enough to fit in my hand, a round disc of rubber with a metal arm, I found it by a tree and kept it...
Hi Blues,
Everything in moderation right? I try not to use movies, tv, games, to avoid things like going outside or stretching my shoulders and neck, or going to bed etc. It's okay to read a book or play a game for a few hours, but then I get up, walk around the house, take out the garbage...
Cat,
Hi,
I kept having my lymph nodes swell in my neck and under my arms with fatigue, like arms made of lead, no energy to get up. After a few rounds of antibiotics we did a blood test and I was diagnsosed with Epstein Barr/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I don't get cold per se, but it is hard for...
When I'm Down
Chris Cornell Euphoria Morning
What say you now?
The door is opening on your vigil
And I'm in my usual way
I save my breath, knowing what you're
Wanting me to say
I only love you when I'm down
You say that midnight opens its arms to me
Leaving you alone, and I fly so far away...
Cornell
fin, I usually find the videos on youtube, just googling the titles. You can catch Chris there doing Led Zepplin covers too. Great stuff.
Dave, I LOVE Outshined, and New Damage and Mind Riot. Their first 2 albums were Screaming Life/FOPP and Flower. Then came Ultramega OK with a cover...
Do you form weird attachments?
Example: I get attached to furniture...couches, chairs, and autos, even sad little junkers. and certain clothing...sweaters. I wore one until it was frayed at the collar and neck. I didn't care. I loved it.
My dad used to say you can't form attachments with...
You're welcome fin.
I'm a big Chris Cornell fan. He started in Soundgarden in the late 80's, then moved on to solo stuff, then joined RATM band members and formed Audioslave, then went solo again. You might be interested to hear his remake of Michael Jackson's Billy Jean, it's a whole...
Supergirl,
I am so sorry you lost your furry friend. I bet you were a good mom to her and she had a good life. That's the best gift to give an animal.
People told me when I lost Ham that he was in heaven or a better place, if you believe in a better place I hope that brings you some comfort...
Manic,
I posted something similar on a thread called "ever thought you were cured only to find"
I went through years of counseling and got better, went to college, had a social life, was really happy, then ended up in a an abusive realtionship. When that ended I was very depressed and too...

Four Walled World
Well she cried, and she cried
All night to the sound of the freeway hum
And she swears she'll be gone
When the sun hits the ground
And she ain't coming back to my cell
Well she's tired and she's tired
Of this life she's been leading too long
And the times...
This post was a while ago now but I used to get very agitated in October my anniversary, unable to sit still, felt the need to get away, more so in my 20's than now. The one yr ann of my dad's passing is coming June 9th........really not looking forward to that. Not sure how I'll do, since it's...
Pamelor is the one that got me the most. Cymbalta has the side effect but I've not felt it as much. Pamelor will make you peel your lips off your gums. Just try to talk. Plus, anxiety can do it, before a meeting, that kind of thing.
