Oh gosh, I think you are me from 6 months ago. I have had major anxiety issues for most of my life, and last year they just got out of hand.

First time commenter, long time lurker here! Question about anxiety. I think I'm finally coming to grips with the fact that I need to get professional help for my anxiety (which is often triggered by work). I made an appointment to see someone, but I'm nervous about the whole prospect of anti-anxiety medicine and…
Dearly in need of positive vibes, y'all! I'm waiting to hear back from an interview I had last friday. Interviewer told me that he would get back to me by mid-week (i.e. last wednesday) and, even after I sent him an e-mail re-iterating my interest, I have heard nothing.
I hate buying Mother's Day cards. I love my mom. However, she made a lot of choices that made my childhood difficult at best and outright hell at times, I'm glad her fourth husband is nice and stable and likely unaware of many of the details of her past. But I can't bring myself to buy one of those cards that says…
Huge hug to all the other motherless Jezzies. And those moms who have lost children. And to everyone who has a rough time on Mother's Day.
When going through cancer treatment, various friends' dogs (and a random iguana) would guard me and whenever I'd get tired or start to not feel good, they'd REALLY guard me, and make sure that people left me alone. Usually by sitting on me, or giving the stink eye to anyone who talked louder than a whisper. My heart…
Unitarian Universalists. A lot of the nice things about church but without all the dogma. Open to everyone from Christians to Buddhists to Atheists.
I just now realized the Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas are not the same person.
Its that damn PABA. Use compounds that aren't paba but are kissing cousins with it. If you were allergic to it now you have padimate free
I'll never forget 4/20/1999. The locked down all the schools and we weren't allowed to take the bus home. My mom had to come get us and she had been crying. When we got inside she ran to turn off the TV- I clearly remember seeing a line of students exiting a school with their hands behind their heads- and said we…
In a process of interviewing, don't forget that you also interview them. In my past interviews, I have asked a lot of questions about corporate culture, employee satisfaction, work-life balance, etc. I don't know if you even have the luxury to turn them down if they do offer you a position, but my point is that you…
Red state liberals unite! :)
I have spent most of my life in the Midwest, and I understand how it's sometimes totally strange to be here (or in the South - I've lived in TX, too) if you're not white-Protestant-working class (we are from California originally, and my family are totally hippie-ish atheist types). While I spent a lot of time feeling…
First time for me reaching out like this, but I am slowly weaning myself off of paxil, which i have been taking for a long time, but I have been having all kinds of side effects. So my MD has me slowly tapering it down, then we will replace it with something kinder. Anyone out there go through this? I read a lot of…
Folding a fitted sheet isn't a basic skill. It is some kind of strange wizardry.
SPQR by John Maddox Roberts. 14 books that follow a young Roman noble right before the first triumvirate. He solves mysteries, but the immersion into Roman life is the payoff.
That sounds like a perfect evening. I miss Big Love. That was a really great show.
