This is what I do. I'm barely aware of the exam starting and then it's over. I don't want to make you start worrying about something else, but the breast exam is actually the most unpleasant part for me mainly because I notice it happening. We're moving toward this in the US, too. My doctor...

Good post @stenni. I've been thinking about the same thing. I haven't been here very long, but I've been on the internet for quite some time and I could easily tell right away that something was different here. Maybe the things you're talking about come from an intense desire to protect the...

I think this is an excellent reason to have a talk with them and see if there's a way you can take some sort of leave. I've been fortunate enough to work in that environment a couple of times before and I've seen co-workers successfully negotiate arrangements like this and I've also seen people...

That is completely understandable. I would have felt exactly the same way. They reacted absolutely horribly. I'm sorry that this was your experience when you tried to get help for yes, a medical condition. It is true that things aren't going to change if you keep pretending they're all well...

I don't know anything about your boyfriend, obviously, I have no idea what his background is, so I can only speculate, but my guess- purely speculative guess- is that the things you just said here are your clues to his behavior. He could very well be retreating because you guys are so close. I...

Yay! Do it do it! I'll mess with that speak pipe thing some more when my husband goes back to work. I don't sing around him. LOL It wasn't the same song I was thinking of afterall @Anrish. I think the spark of recognition in your song came from a Blind Guardian song my husband plays sometimes...

I was just about to say that I never lose my appetite, but no that's not true at all. I just always more than make up for it when it comes back :/ My favorite comfort foods At home- ramen with eggs especially the kimchi flavored ones homemade mushroom gravy over rice- omg egg drop soup- huge...

We need more entries!!

You're not the only one. I was thinking the same. I personally would not be comfortable in that situation at all. Pushy and argumentative is not going to get anything but folded arms and a blank stare out of me. And I'd smile to her face, but go home and immediately cancel my next appointment...

I only very recently made a connection, too @Ahhlia. I never considered they were anything other than physical problems. Until recently I avoided all contact with doctors so I never had any tests run, I just assumed I was made all wrong and doomed anyway, but I'm sure they would have had the...

In your situation I would avoid it. If you can't drag yourself away from FB then de-friend your family or block them. All of them. That way you can message whomever you want, but you won't have to see anything they post. I have friends who I block. I can't handle their posts for different...

That just doesn't make any sense. You can't trace a car accident or a near fatal disease or war trauma back to your childhood. Being attacked or stalked or raped isn't a product of a bad childhood. Somebody can have a perfect childhood and experience later traumas. Maybe she's trying to do...

I used to sleep poorly and do fine on very little sleep. Then I couldn't anymore. Melatonin worked wonders for me and seemed to reset something so I don't even have to take it anymore. Luckily I don't have a major problem with nightmares or anything- not outside of the norm (well, I don't think...

I've gotten a little better with it, but wow, me too. Everybody kept telling me that parenting isn't that hard and that people far dumber than me have been managing it since the beginning of people and etc. But I don't think most of those people are paralyzed with indecision, or worse, doubt...

Yes, @Lewa! Sometimes I get too overwhelmed and say forget it, too. Fortunately I don't have to involve much math. The grocery stores around here list price per ounce on the shelf. Phew. Good thing they think we're idiots or I'd never be able to buy anything!

Yeah, this would make a whole lot more sense. She might feel that you don't remember things well enough that are older than that. Especially if you're young now.

I have no experience with it, but that is completely contrary to what I've read.

I over-analyze everything. It takes forever to decide the most basic thing. I hate it. Say, I go shopping. I already know what kind of ketchup to buy, but that doesn't really save me any of the hassle because I will stand there pondering what size to get for 5 minutes. I can tell which is the...

Welcome!!

Wow, this is a great post! I didn't see it go up before, but I had to take a break from the forums for a couple of weeks. Must have been during that time. What to say about this... hmm. I guess I'm kind of lucky in this area. In my world it's always been normal to sort of embrace the...

If I post here does that mean I have to keep posting?! lol Walked just under 2 miles with the stroller. Does climbing on the playground count, too? My days are getting so mixed up. We did 2 miles at another park either last night or the night before, too.

Hello and welcome!!

I hope things went in your favor @Notsowild. And- Sometimes, boy do they. And honestly, you want to see them fall on their face and be humiliated or something, but you really don't want to see karma or whatever you want to call it seriously kick their ass. A really nasty lady I used to work...

Yes, it is. You are doing very well to do just this. My understanding of "mindfulness" is just being present in the moment. Sitting before God is absolutely being present in the moment.

I'm seeing 87 degrees (F) but it feels much hotter. I just took my kid to the playground and then we did not quite even a 2 mile walk and I feel like I've got mild heat stroke. Ugh. :sick: too old for this...
