Thanks for all the replies : ) Nope, I'm not seeing a T... what a frightening thought :3 I am doing a bit better though. Gorged myself on seeds yesterday (didn't even share with the other birds) but now I have healthy, organic, whole food meals planned with ingredients all purchased and...

Lately I've been over-eating and under-eating in turn. Stuffing myself and then eating perhaps once in a day, typically late at night or after getting off the phone with my mom. It's not always conscious, but sometimes the under-eating is in response to the over-eating. This overlaps a lot with...

Please don't take this the wrong way- I'm just being as honest as I can here- it does sound very* cruel to me. An hour sounds cruel to me though, so, perspective. I've been locked in places, and well, no. I know dog sitters and trainers are expensive... and you wouldn't want him to tear up your...

It's hard not to take on other peoples' "stuff"-- Recently I've tried to kind of distance myself from others whose "stuff" I didn't want to take on, but that didn't work. It was tricky because focusing on putting distance between us was really the same thing as focusing on us... which wasn't...

If his worries are affecting him this much, then maybe it's time to have a serious talk. Even if he's off-base, it's important for him to know so that he isn't over-stressed... if that doesn't work, then having him talk to a professional might. That's a lot for him to deal with and worry about...

when during my walks home I start to notice the colors again, and not just the license plates on the cars that pass by. when the random, violent impulses I have toward my body begin fading to self-talk. when following violent self-talk with a concentrated focus on self-love becomes automatic...

I recently started a daily regimen of cannabis oil- when I say this, I'm referring to the oil from the seed of the hemp plant, which notably has high levels of CBD and only trace amounts of THC. I'm taking it for winter hydration as well as for depression and anxiety, but I can't report back yet...

Oh, I see... so your home is freezing. Lol. I would say have a family meeting of sorts, and let your room mate know that raising the temperature this way amounts to an additional cost that you were not anticipating and are not willing to foot... I had this problem with my room mate. She's from...

Hi there, and welcome : ) We're not doctors, here, so we can't tell you if you have PTSD or not... that being said, I doubt that even a doctor could confirm a PTSD diagnosis at this time- it's so soon after the event, and it's clear that you haven't processed your trauma... whatever that means...

Hi there, and Welcome!=] I'm not quite sure what you mean, when you say "because of your words" But I think if you're both willing to work on it, then progress can be made. Do you know what triggers you? And what upsets her, specifically, about the things you tend to say when triggered? I...

@Friday how... did you know... about Fat Freddie? <_< lol You're right, though... each of you. I don't know what it is that makes me feel like I have to coddle people who've hurt me, or anyone at all really. I'm just going to call the next time he shows up... it sucks to be restrained or taken...

@Friday and @Jacqueline1 He's in so much legal trouble already, I don't know if I should worry more or less about the repercussions he might face for my calling the cops... and besides smoking like a chimney, I don't guess I have any real reason not to call, outside of what feels like a...

First and foremost, whoever happens upon this, I wish you excellent health and excessive laughter. I've been on here (/online in general) significantly less in the past several months, and I'm nervous to throw this out there but I really need help. It's been about 6 months since I broke up with...

It isn't really a dangerous neighborhood... that is to say, it's not as if I went somewhere I was at all more likely to be approached that way than anywhere else... broad daylight. I can definitely appreciate your input- I once worked a job that put me in some really sketchy positions. But the...

Hi all. I haven't been around on this site for a while... I feel like I've mostly been in bed since I was last here- but I'm starting to come back around and function again. From facing eviction to being at least a month ahead on all my bills including rent, I have to say that first and...

Sanity checks helped. I really do have amazing friends who just have a way of making me feel like I'm being treated with love and like I'm "normal" even if I feel about as unlovable and to-be-rejected as... well... nothing I can think of. A few days ago (I didn't know until today because I was...

Thank you, everybody <3 I've been reading these over the past couple of days and your words have really helped. I would respond individually but I'm honestly just too awfully exhausted atm.. Wishing you well, with love, Reno

Here we go again. The slightest issues make me feel insanely guilty- enter self-hate and suddenly I'm considering suicide? It's ridiculous and I'm trying to slow down my mind but it's clear to me that my symptoms and things are gradually getting out of hand. I'm afraid that it's this wild kind...

Exactly... Don't get me wrong, vigilante justice is no strange thing where I'm from... but still, there are guidelines... politics to that sort of thing.

That's an excellent point. I worried at first that it would be terrible for my mental health to be around him... I still worry. At the same time, though, him being my cousin makes him unavoidable for me. I mentioned in my original post that he would likely be the second largest inheritor of our...

I don't suppose I do. To be honest I never asked (but can presume) my cousin's opinion... we only speak to each other in the presence of our elders. I don't think I really grasped what you intended but I agree that people heal in their own ways.

Ah yes. Sometimes I squirt some ginseng extract down my throat and let it do the job that my alarm cock and I seem incapable of. This can be a bit too much stimulation, though, in my experience.

I can hear my alarm from my bathroom, so sometimes I put it there and once I'm up, force myself to splash my face with water and perhaps even stumble into the shower before going back to bed... I wake up at least two hours early because it hurts to get started <.< I once made a peppermint pray...

Welcome :) If I had more words I would give them to you, but hi, I'm Reno, and I'm wishing you well. Buona notte.

I can really appreciate this- and I think so, too. I feel like my approach is best for me because of who I am, where I am, and what values I identify as most important to me... but by no means would I say that this is how someone else should behave or view their situation even if the details of...
