I think life is what we make it, we can make it easy or hard, it depends on how we tackle it.

I have learned not to be so trusting with people who you thought had accepted you as family?

You could do one of them on line computer courses, you will be surprised just how quickly you can learn from that. When my stepson stopped coming here, I had to learn a lot of techy stuff myself, so that I could manage my own computer. I picked up a lot of useful stuff by reading a lot of...

I was doing well while on my flight recently, despite being given a window seat, (when I wanted an isle one) and the flight was full to capacity. I managed to stay calm by looking out of the window for most of the flight. But when we landed and arrived at the gate, everyone got up at once, I...

Many years ago, when I was a stubby (subcontractor employed for duration of project) along with many others, there was an army of us. This was before banks had ATM machines, if we needed to borrow money, we would give the lender something made of gold, as security. (For welders, it was usually...

Yea! my stomach tenses up when I'm having an anxiety attack, so bad it makes me feel like I want to be sick. Although I am never really sick, but sometimes I think I would better If I was, it's hard to explain really?

I'm just grateful that my heating is working again, and the house is nice and cosy now, while it's bitterly cold outside!

I wanted to be a "lolly-pop man" because they don't start working until they are 65. Lol.

I'm not feeling grateful for anything much these days, nothing seems to be going right for me these days?

Your welcome, just remember there are plenty of folk in here who are going through the same thing, and they are all here to help you. The main thing being, is that we can all understand what you are going through, as we have all been there ourselves, and some of us still are! Try and find "one...

Ah! No, it's a great time for kids, I'm sure we all can remember the times we had with our kids when they were younger. As adults, the magic might have disappeared over the years, but I've got to amit, I enjoy seeing the kids, with their excitement about the whole Christmas experience. There...

Yes, a few folk have posted about this in the past, especially in their dreams! I sometimes get mine during the day, anything can set them off, a sound, a smell or a vision, can send me right back into what I call my living nightmare. I wrote a poem about it, its in here somewhere, it's called...

I know what you mean, my nightmares are memories of past events that I've actually gone though, so I can imagine what it's like for you. I've actually forced myself to go out, and over the last few months have come a long way, I'm improving with time, and I always try to find one positive thing...

These days it's needing to go for a pee that gets me out of bed, Lol, as well as four or five times during the night! This means I tend to have a nap during the afternoon, Geez! that makes me feel old?

Over the years I've spent a few Christmases away from home, a few when I was in the Navy, or working offshore in the oil industry, or over seas, and a couple on duty in the ambulance service. Out of all them the worst one ever was two years ago, I spent that one alone. My wife had passed away...

My wife and I used to run a B&B it was hard work, but we had great fun, and met some wonderful people from all over the world. Some used to recommend us to their friends back home, and they would come and stay with us when they came to Scotland. We used to get calls from the USA, Canada...

Ah! Your lot alone there, a lot other folk in here feel exactly the same as you do. Sometimes I think that the only thing that has kept me going, is coming in here, as everyone in here understands what I write, and that makes me feel a lot better, good luck and remember you are not alone.

I've achieved nothing at all today, but thankfully I'm not throwing up like I was all day yesterday? In fact, I'm getting worried now because I'm in a state of apathy just now, because I seem to have lost my will to achieve anything at all?

That's exactly what I do in the summer time, I plan the next day ahead when I'm in bed the night before. Yet, in the winter time, when it's too cold and damp to be working outside, I have no such plans to make, so I just don't bother to set the alarm or get out of bed at all?

I wish I knew the date when my anxiety would stop, as it would give me date to look forward to. My anxiety comes and goes, as does it's severity, somethimes I can walk around a busy store and feel quite comfortable, as long as I'm not "hemmed in an isle" Then other days, I get so anxious that...

Recently I've been staying in bed until mid day, as I hate this time of year, with the cold weather and colder shorter days. The only time I do get up earlier is when I have to go the surgery to have my dressing changed, and even then, I'm tempted to go back to bed. Well, I don't have anything...

Things could be worse, you could actually be alone, at least you have the company of your husband, even though he does drift away into a far away place at times? Make the best of the good times, that's when he is with you in real time, and treasure them. Try and get out and about with him...

I know what you mean about the slow motion and reality of your nightmares can be, as all my nightmares are actually real events that I've gone through in my past, to the point that when I wake up screaming, it takes my brain a while to figure out where I am?

I packed face book in a few years ago, and had a problem getting them to delete my account. I thought about it, and realised just how much information I had posted about myself and my life. So, I felt a bit safer after I left the site, and haven't joined any similar site, well apart from this...

Yea! hospitals are like that, I was in one recently and I just couldnt wait to get out of it, in fact i had a panic attack while hooked up to a drip in the ward, I felt in just had to get out of there! It caused a row between the nurse and myself, but when I did eventually get outside, I could...
