Aargh.. I don't know, as I'm not a big console gamer. I play on the PC mostly. I got a PS3 last christmas, played it religiously for about 2 months, then got bored and haven't touched it much since. Kinda regret that purchase, to be honest. Though it is a nice DVD player and streaming device. v0v

My trouble was Eve Online.. internet spaceships, zooom!!

I'm not sure exactly where I'm at.. I sometimes weigh less at 3pm than I did at 7am, which makes no sense, but whatever. I think alot of it has to do with water weight, as I drink copious amounts of fluids throughout the day. One gallon of water weighs about 7lbs, and I easily consume that much...

I have the same problem, a swiss cheese memory. It gets worse when I'm really in a bad state, which is normal because it's a symptom like any other, right? I'm in a pretty good state now, so I can remember most things without trouble. I brought it up to my T because I am really worried about it...

I have no idea how to deal with the triggers during discipline, but it sounds like you're doing a bang-up job as a parent. :)

What is normal to me would pretty certainly be abnormal to a lot of the mainstream American culture. But whether you are 'normal' or not depends a great deal on your peer group, the people that you choose to hang around and identify with. Among my friends I'm not abnormal at all. Instead of...

The safest answer to that is: As many as there need to be. My fur babies will let their disapproval be known. In.. errm... fragrant ways..

Hmm.. Well I know that when I'm going through one of my bad phases (which is most of the time, lately) I can't concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes. (Other than these forum posts, :hilarious:) I seriously get to a point where nothing holds my attention without bad things swimming...

Well, two weeks is a long time to hold a face for. So go easy on yourself. And maybe if you talk with him, you'll feel some better. I know that in the past when I've tried to spare someone my real feelings, it just serves to make them feel alienated. Chances are he already knows you're faking...

((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))) I don't know what to say. But you aren't alone. My T suggested that I just beat my bed into oblivion... I haven't tried it yet, but it could be of some help..

Looks like I'm a little late to the party, but I found myself in this situation too. It was because I wanted to be a good friend and help out people, part of which was my desire to feel needed and appreciated by someone, ANYONE.. And lordy were people happy to dump their ills on me. I even ended...

Congrats! =)

It's not in vain. I know it seems like it's a waste of time, but you are worth it. Keep that in mind, you are worth the work you're doing. It's for you, and you are worth it. :hug:

I feel like I'm in the same boat as you. I'm terribly afraid of the future and the only reason I haven't done the work yet is because of my parents and the fact that I hate pain. :p I try to make jokes about it, but I mean that truly. Vanity requires that I live, so I do. But to keep control, I...

Congratulations!! :)

((((((((((((((((((Sammyiam))))))))))))))))))) For me it was the paleo lifestyle and exercise. (But that may not be the right lifestyle for everyone.) I had been eating a tremendous amount of carbs without knowing it, but once I cut those things out, I started to slowly come down. It's taken most...

I'm so sorry @Bickslow . I had something weirdly similar happen with a girl about 20 years ago. It was one of the most horrible experiences of my life, and I'm still just starting to figure out that I've been coping with it ever since. ((((((((((you)))))))))))

Well, I lost another few pounds since I last posted here. That makes a total of 60lbs now. Gotta admit I was happy to see that on the scales... :D

I've had that sort of thing before. Physical reactions to hard emotions happen a lot, actually. In my case my eyes start watering at times when I'm scared or suppressing emotions. There's also the lump in the throat sometimes as well. I think it's a form of crying that I do. So no, it's not that...

I don't really keep score each day, because it would mainly be "0", lol. But I have made a list of some of my big accomplishments since my divorce. Like quitting drinking, going back to college, paying off alot of debt, losing 60 lbs, figuring out that I have PTSD, figuring out my co-dependence...

Ha.. Most of the time I don't keep my sanity! :p I have little spikes of panic dozens of times a day, and just tough it out. I have breathing techniques I've figured out over the years that help, and tensing of muscles and other things. I also surf the web a lot, as that calms me down. But I've...

Never. Some things take care of themselves. I was feeling suicidal all day, but snapped out of it recently. It comes and goes...

Good thread. Actually I have the exact opposite problem right now, but the reminder on just relaxing and telling the truth, in representing yourself honestly... That's good stuff. Thanks. :) Oh yeah, and @desiderata310. Just be honest with the guy. Tell him you aren't up for a relationship...

I wish I could say something to help out but... yeah politics are crap. :grumpy: ((((((hugs))))))
