Anything bothering you right now?

On the upside, you can see how far you've gone and how much better of a place you are in now. : )

Ditto to this. I recently re-learned how much meds I used to take. No wonder I don't remember much, I was in a haze the whole time. Guess that's the way I preferred it.

My dad's heart surgery got moved for the third time. Still in this month, but it's awful to get psyched up for this and have to wait even longer. In the meantime at least he's not working, because he has trouble even bending down to get things out of the fridge.

I had a difficult night shift. I really hope tonight is not as bad - I almost cried to my manager when giving handover because there is such a lack of support

So it's not Wednesday anymore? That's so f*cked up. Do they even have a valid excuse for doing that?

As far as we know it'll be on the 25th now. No time is scheduled yet. I'm assuming they had an emergency where somebody needed that time slot a whole lot more than my dad did.

I spent the past 4 days in the hospital being admitted for concussion I now have to see concussion specialist.

Right when one major source of stress feels like it has been resolved another pops up to take it's place—awesome. Thanks, life.

Story of my life. I just wish I could not give a shit.

How did you get the concussion, Sweetie?

I told you to stop parkouring off buildings. Did you land on your skateboard or bike this time?

What happened, Kay? I hope you're okay now!!

I had a wisdom tooth extraction. They already knew I had a prior sensitivity to liodcaine and narcotics... the combo of them both and having to take something for medications made me very unsteady and by the end of the time they where don I kept falling over whenever I got up.... when I got home -- I fell and hit my head on the tub. My head hurts

[Total Eclipse]

Ouch! Did you need stitches also? During your hospital stay did they at least get you more steady with your meds?

No stitches needed "closed head injury". They didn't get medication steady, they helped pain relief whilst I was there.. but non when I got out. I saw my nouro today, see my PCP in the morning and a general dentist later in the day (I have dry socket from the wisdom) and then the concussion doc earlier next week........

I haven't had a day this bad in a long time. I broke down and cried in front of my driving instructor as soon as I parked the car back in the school parking lot. I had told her about my phobia, but judging by the shocked look on her face, I don't think she had realized how bad my driving anxiety is until that moment. I came home and cried uncontrollably. I took a Klonopin and spent the rest of the day feeling like a fucking loser who's too stupid to do something as "simple" as driving... and embarrassed for crying in front of a stranger. FML

I'm experiencing a sudden downtown in my mood. I really need to kill myself soon. I have nothing going for me. All I have is a long list of negatives that keeps on gnawing at me. Ie. on the top of my head.

- 28 year old male who has zero experience with women and will likely stay that way
- Overweight, prematurely balding, not physically attractive
- In an easy but low paying job and no aspirations to improve my career
- I hate my own race/ethnicity, and dislike being a minority in the USA who will never fully fit in. I hate being the child of 1st generation immigrants.



This month marks the 10th year since I've suffered from severe depression and suicidal thoughts. What a nice milestone huh?

[FireIsTheCleanser]

I really need to figure out this textbook thing before classes start and making sure that the tuition is being paid because I'm seeing one thing that says I owe a ton of money, and another that says I'm good and I also need to figure out which route I'm taking or learn to use the damn freeway or make the GPS app on my phone actually work because the practice runs to the school haven't turned out great and if I don't get a handle on things the struggle is about to get hella fucking real.

Taking the train back home from Edinburgh. Travel anxiety. Just anxiety in general. Keep worrying somethingll go wrong and ill miss it.

I just came down with a freaking cold just 3 days before I'm supposed to start at my new job. If I'm still sick on Monday, I won't be able to work.. who wants to have their food served by someone who's coughing and sneezing all over the place?

Hugs I'm so sorry you had to go through that!! And don't worry at all...I use to have a BIG phobia of driving when I was younger and would literally have panic attacks even thinking about driving a car. The best thing for me I found is to start VERY little and slooowwwly get used to seeing yourself driving. Just take small little steps and maybe just try driving in small chunks where it doesnt seem so overwhelming. We're all here for you and believe in you!!
