We are stronger...

I found this thing as I was going through some stuff getting rid of some junk. Its called A WINNERS CREED If you think you are beaten, you are If you think you dare not, you dont, If you'd like to win but think you can't, It's almost a cinch you wont. If you think you'll lose, you're lost for out in the world we find success begins with a persons faith its all in the state of mind Lifes battles don't always go to the stronger or faster hand they go to the who trusts in god and always thinks "I CAN" just wanted to share that, think i'll put it above my desk.

could this be an anxious habit?

HI, I find a lot of the time, I am in a conversation, but the other person is talking, and I just keep cutting them off and adding my two cents worth. I feel I need to get my sentence in without giving them a chance to carry on. I try not to but sometimes it happens. I know its annoying. Any suggestions?

I have hard time maintaining eye contact with people and I don't know why?

I do the same, I feel I want to get the giggles when I make eye contact. I always look once, then away. I feel uncomfortable staring into someones eyes, feel like i'm in a silly romance movie or something, no matter who it is..!!

I have hard time maintaining eye contact with people and I don't know why?

I feel people are judging me, maybe thinking i'm not bright, or i'm ugly or something like that. When I was in high school I was constantly picked on, my hair was odd, and I was a different faith to my peers, so i'd be laughed at a lot. I feel as though people dont take me seriously, when they look at me, maybe i'm judging them straight away as well! I also do this, i'm not sure what its called, but someone says' Oh well he's running for president and i think he's great." even if I dont agree, i'll say yes. I never give my own opinion. I just agree and done have a say...! does that make sense?

Insomnia

HI all, i'm having sleeping problems too. I am exhausted, i go to bed and I cant sleep. My previous meds were celexa and my doc said I could have chamomile or sleepy time teas, now i'm on effexor and I'm not sure I can still have the same teas. I will call her tomorrow. Some times i can sleep most of the night, and sometimes i sleep for 2 hours then i wake up, and sleep at about 4:00 am. maybe i go to bed too early? but i've been going to bed at the same time for around 10:00 pm for ages. I dont have a tv in the bedroom, so thats good.

Obsessively Afraid

HI, I think we have to believe there is something more out there. Its hard for me to say this, but i've watched shows on tv and read stuff. Some people that have had near death or death experiences and have been revived, said they felt peaceful and saw a light. Its hard to not be afraid, i'm very afraid, but I feel more calm if I believe that there has to be more. Still saying that i have my scared days. But I am trying to just not think about it.

went out today without hubby

HI, all, my neighbour called at around 8:00 and asked me to run errands with her and the baby. I said yes and dashed next door. We went to a super target..!!! i've only been there with my husband, and never with a friend, especially the last 3 months with my anxiety back. At first i felt that instant dizziness, but I tried to play wit Logan and say silly things to him, and then the next thing i was walking around a super target, we bought some groceries, we were there about 45 mins. I was so impressed with myself, we went to the book store and I was fine, and for coffee. It felt great. My husband was happy. So wanted to share this all with you, who have been so supportive to me.

Did You Know?

I agree to, if you have one, you fear the next one so much, and so on.
