Hi everyone. I'm Kathy, a new mod in Workshop. The thing that I like the most about the Workshop forum is that real people post about real problems that they are working on. It makes me feel good to see so many Bussers who genuinely care about one another and want to help each other grow. I am 41, f...

I really love this thread. It is great for my morale.

Today I bought lunch for my friend and brought it to her at her work.


I also paid an over due library book fine for someone else.

Good for you for holding on and holding out.

I hope that you are feeling better too.

Take care.

While we're at it...

I'm Kathy, and I'm a BUSaholic too.

I have a hard time resisting the temptation to log on to BUS. When I am here, I find it very difficult to log off.

Patiently awaits BUSaholic thread.

I really miss you. I wish you would call again. I would like to write, but I don't know what to say.

I love puppies and this one is so cute. It makes me happy to see it.

Congratulations. Days without thinking of it are the best.

Sometimes I get too deep into my own head and could stand to "lighten up" some. I wonder if you are pulling away and "thinking" too much? Is this possibly what your c was suggesting? I often wonder if I bring on some of my own down times by pulling away and thinking too much. I need to let (as in al...

You are describing my greatest fear.

Tell your doctor, the one who is prescribing for you. Tell your therapist too if its someone else (other than doctor). If you think you can trust your family, then tell someone there. Make sure someone understands.

Take care.

Real, I like your prayer. It is a great way to cope. The initial vision or image that comes upon me is usually just a flash and a quick feeling. The story is my way of making something out of it. It gives me some sence of control over them. It's like what I tell my kids after a nightmare. Relax and ...

Wow. I've been trying to read some of the older "before I was here" posts and this was so amazing. I can't believe that I am not the only one who does this. My visuals are always about me as the victim (from others or form myself). They have been with me as long as I can remember. When I was a kid I...

I often wish I were a victim of some tragic or violent act. Then, I would have a reason to feel so bad.

I sometimes imagin what my funeral would be like and if anyone would be there.

pms ok/or not - whatever

The first time I put on long sleeves this season, I felt the memories very strong. What an urge. Even with no good reason to, I felt I wanted to. It's been two+ months, I'm not going to, but...

At least here, long sleeve weather comes in short bursts. So, I can't hide for long.
