Psychotropics and DNA testing

wow m! that is very interesting, I'd never heard of that before. Are they going to change the med that is not working for you?

Hi m, and Ashley,

It's a long weekend here, and so three days off....I spent the first two sleeping on the couch...not very productive eh. I've been doing the fast food drive thru for food, and basically wallowing.

m, I like your metaphor and I see it as a darkness that overcomes me. Something stupid like a comment my boss made to me about my kitty being 12 and only having about 6 years of life left has made me feel so sad. I don't necessarily believe what she said, but it made me think about something I don't want to think about. As for my visit to see my folks, it was good for the most part, my Mom is not well and she is in pain all the time and sleeps a lot, and that is really hard to see. But I was positive for the most part.

I guess when I think about the future I have a really hard time seeing anything positive in it. All I can see is losing the most precious beings in my life. How am I supposed to be positive about that? I try to take it day by day, and I find that not thinking about the future is the only way to keep going.

I use my journals as well, and have found that going back to a difficult period and seeing how I was thinking at the time and then how I think about the situation now is really helpful. Breakups that I thought I would never get over, but eventually did and was happier in the end...stuff like that.

m, I'm glad you are feeling better.

Psychotropics and DNA testing

Awesome news m! so glad you made the appt, and took that step forward.

I'm not sure if it's available to me, but I'll ask my doctor....it's worth a try, right?

Thanks for listening m, and I really appreciate your words of wisdom. I am only on session 3 and until you go through each session you don't have access to it. I want to get to more of the info that will help me, but I also want to put in the effort to do each one in turn. I don't have a printer right now, so I have to save the worksheets, and email them to myself at work, and print them there. I think it would be nice if they could be filled in online and saved.

As for the boss, she is a pet owner, and loves her pets, so it was not like her to say that, and I agree it was really insensitive, and I think it was a case of saying something without thinking, and then realizing it, but not saying she realized it was insensitive. Yes, Smudge is my best friend, confidant, and like my child in many ways. Somedays the only reason I get out of bed, because someone wants breakfast!

Today was strange, I had a really uncomfortable feeling when I got up this morning, and it got worse when I got into work. I tried to pin it down to what it felt like physically...it was like a burning feeling radiating outward, again no real reason for it, it made me anxious. But I just got a cup of coffee, and I put on some essential oils, on my feet and shoulders, took a few deep breaths, and it subsided enough to get some work done, I went for my walk at lunch, and I ate....although I really didn't want to I choked down a sandwhich and some fruit.

I only have 3 more days until I'm off for 9, and I'm looking forward to staying home, and doing whatever I want to do.

My journals are my life story, I have volumes of them too! I am a little afraid to read them - I need to be in the right frame of mind when I do, otherwise it's like dredging up something that should be left alone, but sometimes I find some jewels of thought in there :)

What session are you on now, are you working through them all, or concentrating on certain ones?

Hi m!

How are you? Thanks for all the info, I don't seem to have the icons. I have tabs and one is program tools and the other one is worksheets. I can't seem to open either of the links beyond the session I have gone through....it highlights when I hover over the link, but it won't open. When I read another session more of the links become clickable for me.

In any case, I found the first two sessions good, pretty basic I like reading, and I have a bookshelf full of shelf help books, so I didn't find it too much reading. The problems I have is doing the homework, partly because of the printer thing, and partly because during the day at work, I'm too freakin busy to fill out more paperwork or think about how I feel, unless I'm in panic mode.

I'm off work next week so one of my projects is to get the printer up and running, and really work on session 3 homework. I've been eating better this week, not super fantastic, but better than fast food. It seems like when everything is going along smooth, I feel good, but certain things, seem to derail me. For me, I need to learn how to not let those things bother me sooooo much, or figure out a way of dealing with the way I do feel.

My Smudge is a beautiful little Calico, they do have such personality don't they?

Oh, and I'm proud to tell you my boss finally gave me my raise....she gave me more because she said she was supposed to do it last month. There you go, it was exactly what I figured (when I was thinking rationally) and she was just too busy. She said she was really happy with the extra effort I've been putting in, to move some difficult projects forward.

One more work day, and I'm free for a week!

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for the info, I think you are correct, I seem to have a different version of the program.

t have a different version of the program. As for the feeling I had on tuesday, it was anxiety. It wasn't painful, it was just weird, maybe it was more of a tingling, not burning. I was just trying to describe the physical sensation. In any case, no....I haven't seen the dr. yet, and I should go. I am off work all week, so I should be able to get in to see her at some point. I guess I figured I was good, no reason to waste her time, but she did ask that I come back, so I will make an appt or pop in on her clinic hours and touch base.

Thanks for your concern and reminding me.

Hello there, I am new to the group

Welcome Sarah30!

Sorry to hear you are feeling bad. I have periods of intense anxiety myself, so I understand how you are feeling. There is much helpful information here and support to help you learn to manage those times.

How long is your son away for, and do you think that was the trigger this time?

Identifying Core Beliefs

Great question Ashley, I see so many connections that I could probably fill up a page with them all.

I will share one though. I've always been a sensitive person, shy and introverted as a child. The last of 4 kids and with my next sibling up having a serious illness at 16 it was easy to be ignored. So I think that really formed my personality, the part that struggles to be seen and heard..

I think the low self esteem and difficulty seeing the things I do well, stems from those early experiences in life. I don't really know what the core belief is here, probably something like I'm not smart enough, or pretty enough, or have anything to say?

Hi m,

I have a list of to do's for the week, I'm sticking around here so I have a few projects to get done including cleaning out the garage, and my spare room....I've been procrastinating on that for a year..lol.

I will see the dr. and I want to do some work on my garden. I also have a fun things list, because I don't want to spend the whole week doing productive things. So I have a list of fun things too.

How have you been lately? You sound better....
