    My house looks like a magazine. People refer to the guest bedroom as the Hilton. I’ve worn the same pair of jeans every day for a month.

    Ziter's post reminded me I have a home repair thing at noon today. Crap, now I have to look presentable before noon.

    dreaming while awake (nightmare)

    It's common for symptoms to change, progress, or escalate. Something that never used to happen can quickly become a thing. Scary at first but you learn to live with it. I've had some wacky sleep experiences.

    Who was your hero today?

    Woke up this morning feeling grumpy. Trudging around in my housecoat and slippers. Hubby says "good morning beautiful." I reply "uh huh." He smiles because he knows me.

    Ziter I was hoping someone would make this thread!! I was in bed by 8:00 last night though. I use noise canceling headphones pretty much every time I leave the bedroom, just so no one interrupts my daydreams. Hubby has to tap me to ask me a question. I think he regrets getting those for me. It...

    Observing vs expressing emotions

    My childhood home modeled both extremes. Dad had no filter and his emotions were all over the place. Mom was like an angry robot.

    New relationship; new pressures.

    If he won't let you talk to married men in a public chatroom... that's not normal jealousy.

    Sufferer Hello.... new dissociated system

    Hello Susan and Kathy! You say you've kept it secret -- any therapy? Are there any doctors or counselors who know?

    Observing vs expressing emotions

    Observing before speaking/acting is definitely a good thing. Then the question is, we’re observing to what end? To patronize ourselves? To get it over with? To tell ourselves it doesn't matter? I do think there are times when a message from the heart has to be taken seriously. No real point in...

    Life better get better

    Sounds almost identical to me at 16. It does get better. Be kind to yourself, even now, so that when better things come you can make good choices. Position yourself for the future you want, mentally and emotionally. God kept you alive for a reason.

    General Pretty depressed and venting

    Speaking for myself... I harbor regret about cutting off siblings, but not friends. I tried once or twice to reconnect after a door slam, and it didn't work out. People move on with their lives. The vibe changes. Factors that pushed me away are still present. However, there was never a guy I...
