An update, as of today, about 57 000 customers are still without power or heat, in Toronto and may not get restored until the New Year, as Toronto Hydro has to go house to house, to restore them. Plus there is the added danger with recent snowfall and strong winds, here, added to the cold...

To those members, who are experiencing no heat or power, in eastern and central Canada and the eastern United States, as the result of last weekend's ice storms, you are not forgotten, during this time of family and compassion. I, myself, experienced 41:42 hours without heat or power, in my...

Thank you, @ronin47 . Wish I shared your confidence, in myself.

@Hashi , I am there, with you. I will be spending most of tomorrow, sleeping or playing with my cats. If lucky, may try to write some poetry or watch a DVD. After I look in, on another tentant's dog, whom I am dogsitting for her. Otherwise, I have no familiar ties to worry about.

My choicing of Therisa, is honouring my parents' choice of name, had I been born female, and will become my legal name, when I sumbit the forms, to do so. Sadly, my mom can't handle this, and refuses to call me, by my new name. As for my avatar, I found it on-line during a google search for...

Thank you, @Britt.f7 . Just seems to be my luck that I have, when trying to schedule appointments. Wonder, if I have an invisible bulls-eye over me?

@Notsowild , your dairy can be expressed through poetry, if you find that way easier to express, yourself. As the others have mention, take your time and be gradual, in your exploration of the past, trusting your instincts. And no one says, you have to write down everything every day. Good luck.

Well, I don't have to visit or have family visiting me, Drew, which removes a headache for me. Besides, I got a few gifts for close friends that I can give to them, in the New Year. Here's hoping, your holiday period is stress-free and trigger-free, as possible, @DMerish .

As the maid for 3 beautiful adult cat, I can say, they are the anchor, which keep me, grounded during my bouts of severe anxiety and depression. The youngest one, Star, I took in, as an abused kitten, whom I have been working for the past 2 years. For small stretches of time, I can pick her...

Today has been a very busy day, for me and my waiting lists, as I heard back from three of them. The first one concerns the waiting list for the vocal clinic (stuttering), they e-mailed me, to announce my first appointment is February 6th, at 9:30 am, but I would need to be, at the hospital...

Thank you, @Britt.f7 . I wish my parents were, as progressive as you and your husband were, towards my brother. Maybe, some of the violence, I have existed, would never happened. But, engaging in, "what if", is wasted energy, as violence did happened and am paying the price, for it. Thank you...

Thank you, very much, @Spiderallis , for your very kind and generous offer. I will accept a cyberhug from you, instead. :happy:I hope your family Christmas is tranquil and restorative for you. Myself, I plan to do nothing, except enjoy the company of Squeak, Venus and Star. Thank you...

Find myself, ashamed to write this, about the relationship, I had with my younger brother, especially, around Christmas Time, but I need to release these toxic feelings, which have accumulated over the first three decades of my life, with him. On December 16th (Monday night), I had a montage of...

For me, cutting off my mom (October 2012) and younger brother (August 2007), helped me, to release the anger, I have been carrying over the years, which they have been abusing me, whether physical or psychological. To my brother, I told him, he was dead to me, right in front of him. I only felt...

Am angry at the psychaitrist, for having the nerve to cancel all of this week's appointments, without telling my doctor's office, before hand. For I wasted two tokens, to find this out, from the receptionalist. The sad part, I have to wait, until least mid-January or later, before I can see him...

Thank you, Chincho. I feel guilty asking for things, as I put the needs of others, ahead of myself.

Thank you, everyone. When I wrote this, I felt like, I was being selfish, in asking for this. Knowing there so many others, who needs are greater than my own.

That's great news, TwoDee. I hope he has learned his lesson, about his poor study habit.

Thank you, Radise. I hope this wish comes true.

Dear St Nicholas; I know You are busy Right now. But I ask you For this one special favour As my Christmas wish. A wish Which benefits Not only me But many others As well. And no I am not asking For world peace Or to the end of poverty. All worthy causes One can ask For the eradication...

Am angry at the mindless drivers, who think they have the right-of-way, when it comes to interceptions and entranceway of mall, twice today, I had drivers force me, into unsafe situations, which the last one could have seriously injured me. I wish drivers have to requalify for their licences...

To quote, Pink Floyd, am feeling comfortably numb, right now, after a day of high anxiety.

Good luck, Drew.

@BlackbirdSinging , that's your PTSD talking to you. You're better than your inner critic. Honestly. Am, in pain, afer waking up, with strong back spasms, and a hacking dry asthmatic cough. Anxiey levels are, at their lowest level, in the past week.

Thank you, @macca @The Albatross , my recovery from a violent flashback, like this one, has improved over the past 7 years, I have been experiencing it. At first, I couldn't move from my bed, for several hours, paralyzed by the anxiety, which accompanied the flashback, finding myself...
