Where is everyone this fine May day? Give us a shoutout! Who are you? Where are you? What's the weather like in your neck of the woods? Tell us how you found this board. We want to hear from newbies, oldies & those lurkers out there. LOL jan
Hi jan!! Lol...I have def been a lurker...being in my "shell" seems good right now...been having alot of panic attacks these past couple weeks and had a very interesting hypnotherapy session yesterday which I don't want to go into detail here...and speaking of that...this woman does regressional hypno as well and yesterday when I left I was very tired and slightly "funky" feeling...a little sore and slightly nauseous...she was doing regressional stuff on me and my husband was there the whole time I was just wondering if you had ever had any therapy done and felt kind of funky afterwards...this hypno is really good though...but anyway the weather here is cloudy and drizzly we had our first thunderstorms of the year yesterday afternoon here in Va...hail and everything lol...im gonna try to stop in on chat tomorrow night...its at 8 right? :) my memory is horrible
I'm a Newbie but not a lurker. I found this Board in a Google search and it's been a real help for me. I'm detoxing from Xanax and the withdrawals are Hell. I'm just toughing it out as I want off this dependent med. I've been able to vent by posting and the support of the responses are wonderful to read. It's still a roller coaster. The last 2 days were terrible, but today is a good one. I intend to make the most of it !!!
I'm in No. Calif. and we're having a little Spring rain. My gardens are beautiful this time of year and I try to walk about as much as I can to enjoy them.
I knew this would be hard but I am determined to get through it. Thank all of you for your help.
Hi Jan! I found this board through a friend who does iv. I'm in PA. Today is gorgeous! It's sunny, about 70, no stinking humidity!!! I hope you're in chat again soon--I never did get to hear your good news!! Lynn
I am definitely an oldie!! I can't remember how I found IV, but I do remember running across the board on the health channel of this thing :) I live in Galveston (although thats changing soon, we got a house!!! YAAAH!). The weather lately has been pretty cloudy, and a few storms. But when its not raining, its so warm, we go take a dip in the ocean for a little bit!
As the name says I'm from Kentucky. I'm kind of an oldie here since I've been coming here for over a year and a half. Weathers been strange really hot one day and chilly the next. Not sure how I found this board just surfing the net if I'm not mistaken.
Hi! I'm jan from NW PA! The forecast for next week says 70's all the way with clear skies. Thank goodness. We've had some severe weather with tornado warnings & funnel clouds sighted):
I was looking for pregnancy info for my aunt when I stumbled upon iVillage & this board. I have stumbled around here for over 4 years;) Hope to see lots of ppl posting:)
Hello Jan and to all other board memebers, I was experienceing alot of wave of panic for quite some time and it was really messing with my head. It was like I jumped a cliff and was in the middle of a fall. I first explored the PTSD board, and that was helpfull but in addition to the PTSD symtoms I am familar with the panic was overwhelming me and I could see how panic attacks had effected/rule my life over the years.I was so glad to find this site and read some story's and post nodding my head and really finding some sense of belonging. It is hard foe some one who has not experienced and attack to have the slightest understanding and hear it was ya..mmmmhhhm The people of this and an other board really helped me as they reveild there stuggel I was able to see myself. May peace full your being and hugs when you need 'em charlene
Hi Jan and everyone! Here is my may roll call: Today is Saturday the 5th. It is raining outside. I am just sitting here reading posts and I have decided to make a calendar out of those posts Jan puts up with Ideas/Paragraphs on how to cope. So every month I am going to follow one of them and see if it helps. Today is just going to be a lazy day. I think I might do some laundry...boring. My boyfriend is makin me breakfast right now :) I have been on this board for ohhhh i dont know maybe a month or so, and I love it!! Kepp it up everyone!!
Hi there! I'm checking in too. It's about 8pm on the 5th, we had a mostly overcast day today in the Pacific Northwest - even a titch cold, which is driving me nuts (since when do we have our furnace on every day in May??). I'm seriously grumpy today - told DH during dinner "You know what? You're really getting on my nerves" - just like that. He laughed and said it was probably good he's out the door for a night shift then. I guess I'm mid-cycle, but when I feel this antsy, I worry about it being ramped-up pre-menopausal stuff. Got a lot done today, but no patience for whining/fighting kids.
I've got my yearly with my doc this week, going to talk to her about whether we begin to change meds now or wait until I've had a psych assessment this summer. I'm depressed (how can ANYONE be depressed on 70mg of Celexa??) and feeling that overwhelming sense of being a tiny, insignificant bug in the general perspective of life, history, and the world as we know it. GAG!
I had a very busy week, but also had many triggers. Beat DH up twice in the night - I've been doing this on and off for about a year now, and when it started I was really laying into the poor guy. Mind you, it felt pretty good to do that to the girl who tormented everyone in high school...but DH didn't need to wake up with me leaning over him preparing to punch his lights out O.o
Generally, I'm on edge right now - in part (well, if you haven't at least giggle once yet, here's your chance) because I've had to stop seeing my shrink...because he kept falling alseep mid-session. Poor guy, he's older, in a nice sunny corner office - if my rantling can't keep him awake, I'm afraid he must be ready to retire. His receptionist didn't seem surprised to hear I wasn't coming back in - go figure. So, without a therapist, I'm feeling a little insecure - worried about whether I can be my own rudder or not...although, at least I'm awake...laughter IS good medicine!
