Not sure why I’m posting other than the fact that I feel the need. Maybe this will ring true with somebody. I feel like I’m out of phase with the real world right now. I haven’t felt like this for several years now. It all just came over me over the last 3-4 days. I’m going to try to put this...

“She Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere”, by Guy Clark, King of the Texas Troubadours

Further note: might not have been a sugars problem. I have to perform at a tribute show tonight. Two songs I played for 20 years. I don’t know if I can leave the house the anxiety is so extreme. I wish we had mental health care here still…

Thank you…🙏🏼

@Survivor3 i have many physical ailments after 40+ years of various work and a couple of congenital conditions. The chronic pain from those is tough as I have other conditions that limit what I can do for pain. After the steady, ever changing list of psychotropic meds I was on in the 2000’s I...

Glad you found your way.👍🏻

For me it varies. I find edibles less likely to cause problems and 90% of the time it puts a buffer between me and the circular thinking, etc. When it gets really bad, though, I find discontinuing for a week or so is best, until the worst is over. FWIW, I find meditation and deep breathing are...

I was already my regular uptight from stage fright, but when my sugars went through the roof I straightened it out ASAP. Seems like the episode has plunged me into extreme anxiety and a deep...

A friend in Tallahassee (FL) sent me pictures of frozen iguanas…wow! Up here in Eastern Canada…ice under the snow everywhere.

Best of luck to you. Between my age and the political/economic climate where I live there are few options. Having exercised all and still not having the basic requirements met it’s hard for me to stay positive. I hope that isn’t the case for you.

Retired at 55, health reasons. Victim of spousal abuse, blah blah. 65 now and have no idea why I should keep on. My occupation put me in some bad places and I seen and lived through some things that have left me empty and tired. Even my grandchildren don’t bring me out of it Just can’t see...

Stargate SG-1…sort of partly distracting from the stuff in my mind most of times…tv is not too good, I think, when you got PTSD. Hard to live in th moment when you are concentrated on a pretend life…
