I have two friends, a married couple, who have stuck by me through a lot of crap over the last few years. I love them as much, if not more, than a goodly portion of the rest of the human population. I'm closest with the wife, but her hubby has been a rock for me too. Thing is, they - or at...

Since my husband passed away last year, I've been slowly working through going through his things and reducing the sheer amount of stuff that seemed to accumulate over 20 years together. No easy task, highly emotional, and I take a lot of breaks. Sometimes for months. I'm quickly approaching a...

I'm in a tizzy tonight. I am leaving in a half hour to go to a show, something I have been looking forward to for months. But this time, I invited a friend. A friend I could be interested in. Now I'm all bunched up and scared and ready to call and say I can't. I'm shaking and frightened and...

I haven't posted much in the last few weeks. I had to have surgery and have spent most of my time recovering, sleeping, and trying to walk around and get things done. Hasn't been a fun few weeks, and of course, it all lands smack dab in my least favorite time of year. Halloween to New Years...

I've been going to the chiropractor and acupuncturist every week, for 5-6? weeks now. Overall I think it's been helping. I have more energy, my knees aren't hurting as badly and I've even lost a little bit of weight. The acupuncture though - something happened yesterday and I'm feeling...

I've posted before on this. Tonight, after a week of non-stop metal grinding, sanding and pounding - I lost my sh&t. I did not handle it well. I left the house, for about an hour on errands. I'd been listening to metal grinding all day and thought maybe a break would calm me down. I came home...

I hope I put this in the right place. I recognize that every person is different, so I'm hoping that by reading other people's descriptions (if you're willing to share) it will help me understand. I was texting with my friend who has combat PTSD, and he said he was dead. It was an...

For the last five months, almost every single morning, my neighbor's live in boyfriend has been doing projects around her property. He is within the bounds of the noise control laws, but he's grinding metal, welding, sawing, chopping, pounding, revving engines, you name it. I work second...

I went to see a chiro today, first time in over 10 years. I used to go regularly and am a strong believer in the philosophy of a healthy nervous systems equaling a better chance of healthier living. Not to mention relief of pain and tension from subluxations. After the adjustment I found...

I haven't slept a full 6 hours since before my husband died, unless I drank myself to unconsciousness. I'm trying not to do that and have been mostly successful the last 5-6 months, but the lack of sleep is so difficult. If I try and talk about it to anyone I get very little understanding. I'm...

My daughter has fought depression for years. I didn't understand what it was until a few years ago, because I'd never even heard the clinical definition of depression until then. She used to cut herself, numb with pills, has been borderline for years. I had no idea what to do. The teachings that...

I've been lurking and reading these forums for months now. I've found so much information, from the articles to the frank conversations that have taken place, that have helped me. Today I took the leap and signed up. I started reading here because I was sort of seeing someone at the end of last...
