    Moving, No Money And No Contact

    Hi Alimaria, Gosh, my heart goes out to you. If you don't have money to move, and you're eliminating contact with your family of origin, do you have a place to go? I would strongly suggest not skipping town without a plan... or taking maybe the next two-three weeks to plan, if you really...

    New Memories?

    I don't know what's up with me. On one hand I really do feel as if I'm in a healthier place than I've been in a long time... maybe ever, and I'm so grateful. Still I find myself spinning off into this circus world of active symptoms. I feel sick to my stomach and I'm having trouble...

    Help - s.o.s - need a hand out - support - anger management

    Is there anyone to help you in your search for long-term free therapy? Even if government services are lacking, they (perhaps a health department, or local hospital) may be able to offer you a list of therapists or programs designed to help when mental health care is necessary but not...

    "don't argue with me!!"

    Good on you. The fact of the matter is, that she is your physician, and that means that you get together to facilitate your healing and symptom management. Your last appointment fell short of covering those basics. Having practiced for so long, she should know that every body is different...

    Help - s.o.s - need a hand out - support - anger management

    I'm sorry that things have felt so heavy. I think you did a great job expressing yourself. You're angry... and if I were to judge it, I would say that you're not just angry at the people you loose your temper with. Sometimes, emotions fester and it becomes all the more difficult to separate...

    How Do You Know Something Is A Problem?

    My personal criteria: Thoughts and actions are problems when they are repetitive and don't beget desired outcomes. Time to try something else : ) Relationships are problems during those times when they aren't ultimately uplifting for those involved.

    My Life's Little Dramas: Platonic And Strictly Sexual Relationships, Respectively

    Thank you : ) I've lived there for a little over a year... I guess being open and honest would normally be ideal but I kind of wonder. I wouldn't open up to Neighbor 1 about what's going on- he often pries, and I've noticed that he has little respect for privacy and personal boundaries in...

    My Life's Little Dramas: Platonic And Strictly Sexual Relationships, Respectively

    I'm a little embarrassed to write this, but I'll write it here because I don't have another place to put these thoughts, and they need out. Lately I've been in a place of anxiety... I've been ignoring my neighbors (2 of the 5 people I know in town) for a number of good reasons, but also because...

    2 Months And Counting

    Best wishes to you : ) I wonder if you could perhaps take 20 minutes, maybe 10 when you first wake up and 10 before bed, to do something just for yourself? Something meant to make you feel good- when I actually manage to do this with regularity, my days become a lot more bearable. I like to...

    Advice Needed: Massive Anxiety About Partner Travelling

    I can definitely relate to this kind of anxiety. I know it's a lot easier said that done, and forgive me for putting it quite this way, but my advice to you is to try and let go... know that grief will come exactly as it will come, and try to come to terms with the fact that much more likely...

    Anxiety Anxiety

    Yeah, I guess I'd have to agree- it's more reliving past experiences than just remembering them. And definitely quite a bit to be said about learning how to incorporate and appreciate the opposite :) *** I'll never dazzle you with clarity, but I'll try to specify- by saying that I live in a...

    Anxiety Anxiety

    God forbid I allow myself to get rest when the getting's good... no. Instead of kicking back and enjoying this moment as thoroughly as I possibly can, I sit here replaying moments of anxiety in my head. I'm still coming to terms with being alone in a town that doesn't know me or love me. It...

    Earth-centered Spirituality: Pagan, Wiccan, Druid, Native American, Other

    Aloha Reno here : ) When I was a little girl and I'd get sick, my mom would take me to sit underneath the pines. I don't subscribe to a particular brand of worship but my path to life as well as healing has been defined by my spirituality as well as my physicality- by my connection to my...

    Undiagnosed Reno, 23, Elephant Juggler

    Aloha Everyone, This is my first time stumbling across this site, but I made an account because I find myself needing support and a safe place to talk about the elephants in the room. I've never been so socially isolated in my life, so I hope this helps as I go about my solo act of juggling...
