You are not alone. I wish I could offer you more than that. But it’s all I have. I truly understand feeling like a zombie. I feel like that too. I feel like a “pretend” human. I wish they could figure out what chemical in our brains is missing. Or whatever is wrong. It’s not will power. I know I...

i need to vent. I feel like I can’t talk to anyone in my life. They’ll either think I’m... crying wolf, or just feeling sorry for myself... I don’t know. Sometimes I think my therapist doesn’t see the real me. I’m a master at holding myself together. Correction. “Appearing” to be holding...

Thank you. It’s tough, but I’m determined to do this.

Thank you guys for your input. I don’t really want to be a med/surg nurse. My dream is DNP. I’m not sure I can take 6 more years if this. I’m hoping I find an area I love in clinical. Funnily enough we did glucose checks on our fellow students yesterday. Some had problems poking their fellow...

I’ve wanted to be a nurse for 35 years. Finally got the guts to go for it 2 1/2 years ago. I did 2 years of prerequisites, got awesome grades, full points on my entrance exam. This is end of my 3rd week. Yesterday we had our first patient assessment skills check off. It’s pass/fail. If you...

Going through a med change, switched therapists because I felt my old T minimized my feelings. I'm just... Overwhelmed. My anxiety and fear are taking over my life. I'm waking up in the middle of the night again. My vivid nightmares are back, as is my feeling of despair and hopelessness. I'm...

I had a blanket in my trunk so I hid under it in my car and slept. Then I got an ice cream cone and ate it really slowly on the drive home. Those are all good suggestions, thank you. I can't do phone or internet unfortunately. Next week my mom might be able to take me, but I can't go by...

I switched to a new therapist, this would have been our 3rd visit. I live a bit over an hour away. (Due to $, insurance etc I drive to a Native Clinic is why it's far) well I get extremely anxious driving sometimes. Today it's particularly bad. I had to stop less than halfway there and cancel...

My dr. Switched me from Effexor to cymbalta last month because Effexor seemed to not be working. I also take Wellbutrin. Getting off the Effexor was brutal, but withdrawal symptoms seem to be lessening. I'm so far not seeing any change w the cymbalta. I'm starting to worry nothing will help...

I have a hard time with 9/11. I don't live there and did not lose any loved ones. I do have loved ones that were in the military in the years that followed and see how they are still affected. But I have a difficult time regulating the emotions it brings up in me, sadness, fear, desperation...

I almost texted him this evening. I actually had it typed out before I came to my senses. I never delete old text threads etc. but tonight I deleted every single trace of him out of my phone. It feels empowering. I no longer have to worry about if I should write him, etc. it's no longer an...

Thank you so much for your comments. I felt my eyes pop open wide reading it. You're right... Why only believe the negative comment from the liar?

Fell for him... Now I find out he is not only not single like he said, but LIVES with his gf. He says he just was lonely and wanted to be my friend. Lied to me about being interested in me because he didn't think I'd be his friend otherwise. I know that I shouldn't be affected by others...

Today he contacted me at 6:30 am. He thought we were making plans this morning. I'm seeing him this evening. I have noticed he will not say he wants to see me. I get, "I'm not doing anything.... if you want to come out you're welcome to" I asked him point blank if he wanted me to come see him...

I don't understand. He seems to ignore me when he has "home time" and is in town. We've talked about it before and he said something about having been alone so long and he's afraid etc. but then few weeks later he tells me he's requested home once a month instead of every 2-4 months. But here it...

I'm sorry you're going through this. I personally don't think you were "wrong". Maybe instead of flicking attitude you could have given her specific examples of when you've spent time with him and expressed how he's important to you. That said.... It doesn't sound like it'd have made a...

I struggle with this too. Sometimes I look at everything in my life and get overwhelmed. I think my mind is in the "habit" of thinking suicide. I'm not really suicidal, but that thought pops up several times a month, sometimes more. I just tell myself, that's a reaction, not how I really feel...

I LOVVVVVE Willow. One of my favorites. I keep coming back to watch this clip lol. It really relates to me right now. ;)

I talked to him about it fri morning. He said parts of my message sort of hurt his feelings, but he didn't get defensive. He didn't accuse me of being crazy. Listened to me and even walked through his entire evening. But then I tried to call him later to say good night and he didn't answer. I...

I have PTSD from childhood sexual abuse and multiple sexual assaults as an adult. I do NOT trust my little voice. I've been talking to a guy since May and today he said he was in another state (he travels) due to mechanical issues. I don't want to get into it because of personal identification...

My life is going pretty good in the big picture. So it surprises me that SI's have been popping up in my head lately. I'm not in a pit right now, they have NO business hanging out in my brain. It's like a different evil person pops into my head and says... Everything would go away if you just...

I've had an incredible amount of stress the past month or two. Anxiety like crazy. I've had THREE cold sores in this time. As if the crippling anxiety isn't bad enough it triggers these painful embarrassing ugly sores. Anyone else get this???

I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea today. I had it 7 years ago, lost a bunch of weight no longer had the problem but I've gained back most of my weight. I don't often dream anymore. Which means my nightmares have been greatly diminished. I found out that my sleep is all messed up. I didn't...

I've been into bullet journaling. HA. more correctly... I've been into making a bullet journal. I added self care to it. A page for affirmations. A page of things that make me happy. A page of things I like about myself. Added things to my weekly checklists to. Bed by 1, no naps, 8 glasses of...

Grades came out today. I DID get 4.0 all year. I'm shocked. I struggle in so many areas of my life and am extremely grateful I have a success in one area.
