bus

Sore.

Right now I feel-- Sleepy, caffeinated :morning:, wired, anxious, intimidated :o ... I've got a big project for work to finish in the next 2 hours, and I haven't gotten much sleep. :cowsleep: And I'm going to visit my relatives for a ginormous family reunion in a few hours, which will mean leaving w...

Exhausted. Spaced-out. Tired. Ashamed.

it seems like, in the past week or so, traffic lights have speeded up a lot. I'm having a hard time crossing the street before they change...

I wish i could just go away...

Unhappy in my marriage.

Cool idea, Ness! And ... CONGRATS on the :180_days_si_free: :60_days_si_free: ! I don't have a distraction box, but I do have a "psych first aid" kit that I take with me everywhere, and it's got a little bottle of Bach Flower Rescue Remedy, a little bottle of lavender essential oil that I can sniff ...

Today I am proud of myself because I kept a positive attitude.

Cool! And what a cool siggy, too!

Today I am proud of myself because I made it a point to call as many people as I possibly could by their names, rather than just saying "Hi."

... I feel like that right now. I've just spent the past three hours on hold with customer service representatives, getting nowhere, just losing money, that's all.

I got my federal taxes filed.

So anxious I could puke.

Sounds like being caught between a rock and a hard place! :blfrwn: I'm sorry things are so tough for you right now. I'm glad you're working on coping, though. That takes real courage. Remember that BUS is here when you want to talk, and that you are a precious person, and you deserve to be good to y...

I'm worried that my professor won't like my paper when I turn it in. I'm worried that I'll say the wrong thing in front of my classmates. I'm worried that my classmates will see me as an outsider once they come to my house for my birthday party and see my boyfriend's political posters on the wall. I...

I'm so frightened. I'm so frightened.

I'm not certain of that particular technique, but I do often try talking with my "inner child," and having my "inner child" talk back to me, about what I have to do to be a good "mommy" to her. Is that kind of what you're focusing on?

Best of luck with it, either way.

Yes, I've tried things like that with some success, too. Like rinsing my mouth with Listerine after brushing my teeth - the stinging from the mouthwash makes my eyes water, and it does help me feel calmer.

So tired ... exhausted ... clumsy and worn out.

I have refused to or failed to help people who needed help.

Try this: open-bracket, then "url=http://...," then close-bracket, and then the link text, and then, [/url]

(had to spell it out, so it wouldn't see the formula as a command)

That's really great. I gave away my musical instruments before I moved, but i miss them, and i still find that making music helps me to feel better.

la, la, la la...

Hi QueenxVic,

I'm glad you posted, and I'm glad that you found a system that works well for you. Many people have different feelings about medicines -- they work well for some, not as well for others. Medicine is one tool among many that are available to us.

Best wishes with your recovery work,
