    Poll Did You Self-diagnose?

    I knew something was wrong with me but I didn't have a clue what it was? At the time I was so busy caring for my late wife, to worry about myself, so I just put it down to tiredness and fatigue. Then my late wife noticed my sudden mood changes, and my short temper, (not with her) if someone...

    Anyone Here That Can Comment On Anger Management?

    I wish I could control my anger, it just flares up at the slightest provocation! It's just as well that I'm able to calm down quickly. Thing is, I never used to be like that, it used to take quite a lot to "set me off" I don't really know when this change happened to me, it seems like another...

    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    Getting my car fixed, as that is my indelendance, my freedom. Just knowing it's there makes me feel good. The fact that I can get into it and drive away, boosts my confidence a great deal. I just love driving, being out on the roads, with the world rushing by, always gives me a nice feeling.

    That attack in London made me really angry today, as it's yet another cowardly attack on innocent people. My heart goes out to all the families who lost loved ones today. It seems that nowhere is save any more?

    Pay Yourself A Compliment

    I tend to give myself a pat on the back when I achieve something I've set out for myself to do. Or when I manage to overcome a mood that has threatened to spoil my day, or kept my short temper in check, when I've felt that frustrated that I just wanted to "lose it" with someone who has really...

    Quote........." I live in a tiny trailer" When my late wife and I first got together, we lived for four months in a small twelve foot caravan! To make things worse it was winter time. Then we moved into a thirty foot static caravan, for a year, before we moved into a rented flat.
