It would cause much less damage if it were a hand gun and not a semi automatic. I am not anti gun.....however, this 18 yr old had this very lethal weapon to cause so much damage. I understand that he shot his grandmother in the face because she scolded him for his grades, and then went on to the...

The recent school shooting is creating a lot of negative feeling within me for humans in general. While its such a fraction of people that do such things, some of the garbage about it is even more hurtful. I read a post last night on fb that insinuated that its due to de-instituionalization...

Grateful I accomplished my appointments today. Grateful for a couple good friends. Grateful for my family.

I dont think there is anything wrong with you at all. I think we go through the stages of life and make friends accordingly, and often they align with career choices. Young, we have school or college friends Start a family, and often friends are parents of our children friends, where we do...

Today is a better day than yesterday. I am grateful for having shelter, my dogs, and my bed right now.

Im not grateful for one damn thing today!!!! Ive been grateful all my life for all the small things Just for today, I need to know what it feels like to be the opposite. Im in great pain and my dr does nothing, told me not to take NSAIDS because evidently they have damaged my kidneys. Im not a...

Yes. I was told that I had symptoms of ptsd decades ago, but managed will. I had several concussions over my lifetime. The last one 15 years ago affected my emotions and in turn, changed the course of the choices I made. The choices created more chaos, and even additional trauma on occasions. As...

I went off Vicodin about 5 years ago. It helped the pain some, but didn't rid of it. I didn't have withdrawals. My Dr just cut my xanax in half. I was really worried but its not as bad as I expected. I only take it at night and am supplementing with Melatonin. I haven't been able to find...

whiteraven I feel like I could have written your post. In this covid boredom, I ordered a pair of boots for myself for Christmas. I haven't wore them and think I will send them back. By the time we can go out in the winter, I probably won't be here. I do this all the time.Now if were something...

Well then I guess I have cognitive dysfunction too, but dont know what to do about it. I accomplished a lot in my life, but I can't anymore. I blame myself for that. I guess I never realized there was a term and a reason for this, but I stay in bed more and more all the time, especially since...

I feel for you. I spent so much time trying to be the right parent when it came to balancing things out. What I do know, is that kids will, and need to experience hurt and disappointment. Its part of life and they will learn how to deal with it. As a mother, its great if you can be there for him...

I am the youngest of 5 girls and it hasn't always been an easy role in the family. Today I realized that since I became an aunt at age 5, then the babies kept coming, I got to be part, a big part of their lives growing up. I have a lot of memories that I otherwise would not have. Went from...

I am so grateful that we got to spend Christmas with family, and for my 2 yr old grandson. My heart melts when he says " I love you Gigi" I am so grateful that our family has escaped covid thus far.

Like Friday, haven't done therapy this year and for similar reasons. Not knocking it and so glad others have benefitted. Covid was first obstacle. Second was financial. Dont know if and when I will go back, but at some point in life (mine is age 63), I really dont know what else can come of it...

Many prayers sent. I know their lives are much too short

Oh yes, Christmas is coming, and seems fast this year. Maybe because of unseasonably warm weather. My grandson has been sick and I am hoping he will be well enough by then to celebrate, great age of 2. I dont have much to do. Each year, a bit less. Im not baking yet I miss it. I am missing some...

Growing up, we didn't have many Christmas traditions or good memories because of my mothers depression primarily, or her lack of desire. As soon as I married, I made my own traditions and loved the holidays. Decorating, baking, mostly things with the kids growing up. While having the empty nest...

Friday, I admire your ability to accept that your friends will let you down, break your trust, and so forth. I mostly expect that too, maybe thats why I have a few. IDK. But I get the other side of the coin, when friends are not there for you, or abuse you. Today is the anniversary of something...

Anthony, I agree. At 63, I have a couple of close friends I can confide in, all else is acquaintances. Sometimes it feels bad when I see all these groups of friends doing Christmas dinners and stuff, but I know in reality, often they are Christmas office parties too. I dont have a lot of energy...

I relate to what you are saying completely Eve. We may experience it different, but I understand that survival mode. My fear makes me anxious. My fear keeps me from doing things that I would have done before. It causes anxiety, which in turn causes health issues. It feels out of my control. It...

I am a true beginner...just joined an on line group. I really like the messages and discussions. Im not yet familiar as to much of you all refer to.

Truthseeker I am really impressed. I need you as a coach. I can really relate to Barefoot in that I don't know what is best and don't handle things well in addition. I seem to have low mood....dont feel stressed...and want to stay in bed with my fatigue. Once I get going, I start feeling the...

One of my friends once said to me "If I were going to open a business, I would hire all adult children of alcoholics, because they work so hard to please other". I think we carry traits that we cant see, but others can. IMO, the thing about re-enacting has been true for me. The first step I had...

I have a bit of understanding all that is happening also, but it does sound like someone is very jealous of your award. I worked in a non profit (but paid position) before and although hesitant to say as I dont like to criticize (particularly when they do not pay staff well), there are a lot of...

I am grateful for my family and their health I am grateful for the food I ate I am grateful that I had the energy to shower and do needed shopping I am grateful for my furry friends that love me no matter what I am grateful that my kitchen is coming together (have been without one for 2 months)...
