I understand what you mean, Ursa. I'm having trouble picking it up again. It's scary how right a lot of the things she says is. She talks about how hurtful our parents can be then goes on to say that right now we're probably telling ourselves its not that bad. But it is that bad. I was...

I also just bought the book. I've only gotten through one chapter but as it states in the book its not about speed. Thanks. Manic

I feel the exact same way! Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of support here and you can learn a lot! Take care. Manic

Haha! That sounds hilarious! You could have a little pet choir soon! :rofl: Manic

I definitely relate to this. It was never okay for me to show any emotion. Because of that, if I am feeling an emotion I automatically hide it and my anxiety goes up or I have no idea which emotion it is that I'm feeling. I had someone suggest letting your emotions out to yourself first. Write...

Thanks for your help with everything everyone! You all have great ideas. It means a lot. Luckily, things seemed to turn around for the best. Instead of my manager getting fired she got demoted and her new title is, believe it or not, a cake decorator! :rofl:I couldn't believe it! So the new...

Haha! Man, animals are definitely characters. I have heard so many people comment that it's "just an animal" and they have no personality but a lot of the animals I've met have more personality than some people!! :rofl: Manic

Agreed! Of course Anthony and Nicolette work their butts off on this forum and that means so much! But also, this forum wouldn't be what it is without the members! So hurray to all of us! Peace and Hope Manic

Littleb, When you were writing this post, were you actually writing about me? I have been through such similar things and felt the exact same way you feel, Hun! Getting help is hard, for everyone and I definitely understand where you're coming from. But unfortunately, when it comes to getting...

Rain, You have given me a lot of support and helped a lot. You have given fantastic advice and words of hope to many of us on the forum. I'm very sorry to hear that something as happened and I really hope that you're alright and we stay in touch. Remember, no matter what happens, you're a...

Thanks to everyone for your replies. I have spoken to my manager about these ideas and she did not support them. I am not aloud to put a sign on the door as it looks "unprofessional" and I'm really too nervous to ask the police to be around and if they do happen to come by (They don't usually...

Heh. I do the same thing! I haven't heard of the book but I am going to look for it because I'd like to read it now. Thanks! Manic

Happy Birthday Buddy! Hope its good one. Be good to yourself! You deserve it! Thanks for everything. Manic

I work Halloween night at a 24 hour grocery store. I'm a cashier so I deal with all the customers. I'm scheduled to work until 11 pm. This terrifies me because I have an extreme fear of men who are drunk or high and I know since it's Halloween night I'll get plenty of intoxicated men in the...

Wow! I appreciate everyone's support. Thank you. I went to the barn again last night to check on my other horse. He was sort of confused why his buddy wasn't there. I had showed him Beau after he was put down but he still was confused... It was extremely difficult to go back and just tend to...

So things are extremely rough right now with my health, my family, financially and especially my anxiety. I guess I sort of thought that it wasn't going to get any worse... I got a call this morning from my friend who stables my horse... He had to be put down today while I was at work. Luckily...

I just had this same situation! I had a grad to attend and I was terrified the whole time. The idea of having a ton of people in a giant room, can't see everyone at once, everyone's eyes on me on stage, etc. I agree with everyone else here. This grad is only going to come once and think about...

Lately I've been having extreme problems with my anxiety. I don't think it's ever been so out of control. Everything and mean everything triggers me, I'm constantly panicking and when I'm not I'll get triggered by the most random thing. I'll crying like a little baby over the tiniest things and...

QuietNow, I remember when I had to have a very similar arrangement like that in high school. I was terrified. I also remember having to do things that just terrified me. One day at work, my department Manager told me to speak to the Store Manager (who scares me as he is a very large man) about...

I definitely know that feeling. I've always had that feeling. When I look into the future, its maybe a month down the road. That's about it. If someone mentions 'when I am their age' (such as 50 or so) I can't picture myself at that age. It just doesn't exist. I can't even picture myself a...

Awwwww! Manic

I just got back from taking my dog for a walk on the trail. The trail I went on is known for letting dogs off the leashes. Well today was extremely busy because everyone has the day off so the trail was packed. There were dogs everywhere! My dog was so happy! He's never seen that many dogs all...

Yay! Happy Turkey Day Canadians! :occasion: Manic

Well I did it. I just got back about half an hour ago and I'm so glad to be home! I ended up drinking quite a bit, unfortunatly. I didn't want to but it definitely helped. I didn't sleep. I stayed up all night, made breakfast for my family in the morning so they could eat and we could leave...
