I still feel so much better. I know that the sleeping pills cause an amnesic effect and now that i have not had them..I am having crazy messed up scary dreams. On the flip side..I am managing them and they do not take over my day. Even though I am waking up frequently..and full of anxiety it...

I definately have ocd like tendencies. My son has ocd and not doing certain things or having things a certain way causes him great anxiety to the point of not being able to function. I am a clean freak and and organization nut. I even have a label maker...I am not as bad as I used to be but I...

I related to so many of these posts. It is a hard thing...I am lonely and there are days that I think I would like to be with someone and then there are other nights that I enjoy being by myself. I like the quiet..when my son goes to bed and I hear my water fountain..have candles lit, no phone...

Thank You!! They warned us about the "pink cloud" in rehab..I am riding it and enjoying it. Today..I felt a bit off. The doctor stopped my sleeping medication last night...last addictive med. He had me wean off of them. Unfortunately I did not sleep well..slept on and off and probably woke...

Well..I a m actually quite the opposite..I am afraid to say things sometimes for fear of saying the wrong thing, sounding stupid, looking stupid..blah blah..I do relate to the fact that often when my anxiety is up my brain cycles and goes non-stop but it often makes me shut down..and then I do...

Well my childhood was filled with fighting, chaos and turmoil. I went into therapy as a child..it was sad back then. I was even put into a psych ward (after I od'd) at 15..my father had died and then I was assaulted. Twenty years ago the therapies were not as good as they are today. I...

I agree you have a right to your anger..I have been in a man hating stage for a very long time but there are times that I have a glimmer of hope that I will find a nice one. I cannot find one of them either...though..I have seen them and know that they are there. That gives me hope because I...
