I am doing a bachelors degree in Arts and have been tempted to take some psych ones. This lecture was a statistics lecture I have done introductory stats when I was younger. The only change appears to be the software which I am eager to get grappling with.

I've done that. I've also closed my eyes and hit send. I've also sent it and then dent another saying g dot read it. I have also used my toe as I was walking so it accidentally sent it. Embarrassing but I wanted to send it but I didn't but I knew I needed to so I "made it haooen" without me doing it.

It's usually so beautiful. There are bridges with water and rocks (I love rocks) and so many different plants and trees. I love the smell of the trees and the feel of being there. Anyway... Everything was looking so gray and before spring. I saw these white flowers and checked them out. They smell amazing!!! Think of a mix of gardenia, honeysuckle and there is a earthy sent underneath. Don't know where you are that you are seeing this, but I just wanted to share how beautiful they are and what an amazing thing it was to find them.

I love azaleas!! Not really sure what it is, but I'm thinking it may be a Bradford Pear possibly that was broken in a storm we had earlier.

Just got back from my physical therapist. I haven't improved in months so for the last few weeks we've been increasing the time between sessions to see if I worsen without treatments. I don't. So unless my neurologist disagrees (which I think is unlikely) (I have an appointment with him this afternoon) I'll be quitting physical therapy.

Yes, those are pear blossoms. 'Tis the season for blossoming trees (pear, cherry, apricot, plum).

I still sorta think that in the back of my mind, trying to move beyond it, but only because God was used as a control tool to punish me while growing up, so that was my punishment from Him - the sleep paralysis, demons coming to get me - etc.

May I ask what dosage helped you? I am unfamiliar with the dosage and am curious where pdoc prescribed me on the scale.

*offers Jedi hug* I grew up that way too - religion as control tool to punish - so I can relate somewhat. Maltreatment in the name of religion has effed me up.

If you need to vent my PM's are always open. Sometimes it's nice just to have someone hear you. I hope you start feeling better soon, DD. Feeling like this sucks. I hate it. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

I'm with you both QM and EM. Same thing with me. It really messes with your head and your heart. Trying to be good enough just doesn't work. He is showing me different though!! I pray He does for you too.

((( big hug )))

Boss came to work coughing and visibly sick. He can't even focus or think straight. If he gets me sick.... I don't have time for that. Of course it would give me an excuse to just lay in bed and do nothing. I wish I wasn't such a doer or rule follower I'd be at home and wouldn't care.

Possible trigger:

maybe he'll get me sick and I won't recover from it
