It's days like today that I just want to curl up into a ball and not see daylight for days. I am physically sore and hurting, I am emotionally drained, mentally I have completely had it, financially I am screwed, and on top of all of that, got devastating news about a friend's 4 year old son starting chemo tomorrow. I am tired, but I cannot sleep. I want to scream and let it all out, but it won't do any good....screaming does not help, I have tried....trust me, I have tried.
I am tired, yet my mind is going 963 m.p.h. Things are spinning fast and in so many directions right now, that I am more overwhelmed now than ever.

I'm tired....and I have to get up and start it all over again tomorrow....get up, put on a happy face, things will get better. Chin up G!

I have heard of a drink called a "mind eraser", but never heard of a rx for mind racing....please, tell me more!

My lastest fascination is that show Man vs. Wild. Thinking about how cool it would be to run through the jungle like that guy on the show and just live off the land. The only thing that stops me in this fantasy is that I don't know how well I would do with finding and killing my own food. Last night he ate some things that were practically still breathing. I would have to be a survivialist in an area that had lentils, nuts, berries as a food source.
The guy's in tip top physical condition too so I'm a little behind in that area too. Ha.

Hey G, they really do make meds that stop your mind from racing; Prozac worked for me. The thing is, you can't mix most of them with alcohol. It's definitely something to talk over with a doc.

On the other hand, if it's not a medical condition, if it's just big-time stress, you can learn yoga or meditation and that should help a lot.

On my mind:

Old grief

New money woes

A book Ami recommended about highly sensitive people

Teaching the puppy not to shriek at us when he wants out of the crate... hey, he's only fourteen weeks old; he doesn't get to run the household....

Thank you Bit. It is just a lot of uber stress at one freakin' time....I need to not let it snowball...take on one thing at a time. I just can't stop thinking about a lot of it at night when it is time to go to sleep . Even my snoring pug is not knocking me out like usual! Once I learn to let go of some of it, I am sure I will sleep like a baby.

So I am not worried about meds at this point....especially if they don't mix with alcohol

I bet the weather isn't helping any. It sure made it difficult for us!

Dunno if it'll help you or not, but what I do these days is I just let myself worry at the problems--like a bulldog with a bone--because I know my mind won't let go so I just let it do what it wants. In fact, I encourage it... I write lists, I write journal entries, I write letters to friends, I write bad poetry ... I get all my worries out onto paper as best I can, so that they're written down and I'm sure I won't forget them.

Sometimes after I've done that I can sleep again.

I've noticed that when I have money worries it makes everything else harder to deal with.

Best of luck to you; may your worries ease right away and may things get better for you, especially financially!

I have S.A.D. and it's definitely more difficult now than in the sweeter, kinder, gentler months.

I've been and a LOT more than usual the past few months.

Sometimes it is best to walk away while you still have your pride. (and in my case...my hair)

[JakeTulane]

For some reason... "all that jazzzzzzzz"

[MrSunshine]

Getting back to good.

Haiti.. have just donated, as i've been watching coverage, so sad....wishing there was something else i could do, like be there and help somehow..

[Gemme]

I have a free weekend. My time is NOT already allocated. It's mine, mine, MINE!

[WolfyOne]

Been a while since I've had to live for just me. So, relearning what I know and letting go of the US. Sometimes it's hard after you're used to a routine of doing for another.

[sylvie]

that i just got home a bit ago, and now i have to go back to work again, til tonight.. these split shifts are for the birds!

hope you all have a wonderful day! xx

Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed, I forget how wonderful my life is and how much love I have in it from my friends and my family. I love my two dogs that make me laugh my ass off on a daily basis! Rotten rotten dogs!
I really do love my life, curveballs and all! It is so much better when I keep my chin up and quit feeling sorry for myself. I am learning to embrace change....baby steps.
