    Nightmares Are Getting To Me....

    I've been dealing with a lot of stress, but I've been coping pretty well.. I take medications to help with severe depression and anxiety but these nightmares that I've been having are really starting to wear me down. I'm on buspar and lexapro, daily. Ativan as needed, but I haven't taken this...

    Does Anyone Else Feel Bad About Themselves Social Media?

    Facebook is toxic. I have probably 76 friends and I do not communicate with any of them, the majority of them are family members and they are extremely critical of me so I do not post anything on facebook that I deem personal. Very early on I was trained that what I do or what I feel really...

    Medication To Aid Sleeping/no Dreams?

    My psychologist put me on Clonidine (lowest whole dose) to help with sleep and nightmares in general, while it helps a little.. So far I've had less "remembered" dreams, especially ones that would induce extreme stress and cause me to wake up, but I'd like to know of other medications people...

    Companionship

    Considering that I've never had that sort of companionship with anyone.. I do actually understand the sheer desire and knowing that you are missing out quite a bit in life due to not being in a social group. I have very bad social ability and people I'm around, or have come to know, are quite...

    Agoraphobia Vs Social Anxiety

    I was forced to adapt, due to my job although I don't recommend it. The sheer amount of anxiety that I have over come does not outweigh the parts that still affect me/develop. Positive Reinforcement is a good one, basically surrounding yourself with friendly people and the sorts. Or with...

    Full-time Rv Living?

    Recreational Vehicle, actually. There are a lot of definitions to what mobile home means in the USA too. A lot of the Motor Homes are actually considered a "second home" and can even be registered as that. There are a lot of insurance companies, including mine, that insure them as basically...

    Full-time Rv Living?

    Which honestly doesn't bother me, of course things have a life expectancy? I come from a family that we fix it if it "breaks", we're all mechanically inclined and I'm certainly no exception (but I am exceptional at smaller vehicles). "Breaking" for me is when something isn't running as expected...

    Full-time Rv Living?

    Walmart, cabelas, public land in the southwest. A lot of other places if you can stealth it, but a huge motor home likely will not be stealth camping. The less you run a vehicle consistently, the more likely it is going to break down due to various things. I'm not really worried about...

    Full-time Rv Living?

    I currently reside in the Portland, Maine area actually... its a death trap. It's so expensive to live here.. no jobs pay well and education is hard to get because if you can't pay 900 dollars for a studio apartment then you're out of luck.. Renting rooms at best (600 for a room), homeless at...

    Full-time Rv Living?

    Has anyone else considered this as a fair alternative of 'breaking out' of the living paycheck to paycheck system? The prices of fuel, from propane to gas, are really starting to go down and warm climates could really give a huge break on heating costs. A lot of the rigs from the 1980s are...

    Words/sayings/expressions That Make You 'tick'

    rude, ungrateful, angry, lazy... Unemotional, unprofessional, rigid. Any swear words being spoken to a person, regardless to who or for what reason. Especially swears being used one after another. It's extremely triggering when a mom gets angry at her kids in front of me, why do people have to...

    Registered Therapy Animals

    I actually have a prescribed therapy rabbit, he's small enough and very relaxed because I've exposed him to a lot of situations when I first got him. I've worked with rabbits for fifteen years or so, and I love it. My rabbit helps me immensely, especially at work.

    Sufferer Always Fearful

    I am an autistic young adult, I was very neglected as a child by both my parents. I was abused emotionally and psychologically by my mother even into my twenties, she would not cook or care for my brother and I. She would constantly yell, scream and swear at us. But what really bothers me is...
