    How Much Time Spent Here Is Safe?

    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...

    New Cat Introductions; Advice?

    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...

    Question About SSDI

    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.

    New Cat Introductions; Advice?

    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...

    MDD New diagnosis

    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

    Where is Your Favourite Place To Be?

    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...

    Recurring Nausea Caused By PTSD

    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...

    Weird Attachments?

    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...

    Being Kind vs. Numbing Out

    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...

    Fatigue

    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...

    Weird Attachments?

    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...

    Had To Put My Cat To Sleep On Saturday

    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...

    Teeth Plagued By Meds

    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.
