I too have two people inside of me and hope that I can strive to live in the middle of my two Nellies.Nell Escalantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615718815675872851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-40607430621809703282009-01-21T10:10:00.000-06:002009-01-21T10:10:00.000-06:00Oh, add me in to the pile too. Depression and anxi...Oh, add me in to the pile too. Depression and anxiety are my own personal roller coaster rides. And I, too, get hyper-sensitive, even to the point of creating negativity where it doesn't exist (with strangers, too). <BR/><BR/>When you mentioned the ruminations, it made me think of the DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) stuff I learned during my visit to That Place last spring. They taught me some really good techniques for getting my brain off the hamster wheel, and stopping the circular thinking. Do I use it? Ummm, sometimes? but it does help sometimes. As does the Effexor :) Good luck hon, and feel free to email me anytime if you need to talk.Astrogirl426https://www.blogger.com/profile/17741185103804036960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-18930793960938431872009-01-17T23:04:00.000-06:002009-01-17T23:04:00.000-06:00"when you expect the worst you can't be shocked wh..."when you expect the worst you can't be shocked when it happens"<BR/><BR/>i have lived by this creed for the past 36 years...<BR/><BR/>maybe some day we'll both figure out differently?Mitzi Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924366481274530148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-80310592466200365772009-01-16T09:00:00.000-06:002009-01-16T09:00:00.000-06:00I had a day much like yours yesterday.

I took that as, I don't want you here today if it's going to be anything like yesterday. So, here I am 3 children running around and cuddling up with the laptop.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908710843051928929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-26512487640846028512009-01-15T15:51:00.000-06:002009-01-15T15:51:00.000-06:00It's very hard to have to restart life every time ...It's very hard to have to restart life every time I fail to be perfect.

I hope you get a break from these feelings soon. <BR/>SaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
