I’m supposed to have 250 mbps. That’s what I pay for anyway.
It’s actually slower than it was before I upgraded. I think I need a new modem.

I’ve been overturned by the boys in the house. They want a bear decor I found instead of moose. I was on the fence and was going to veto their votes BUT then I found this
Roll Call 139
And now I’m sold Roll Call 139
I’ll do moose in the kitchen.

The Kava Kava tea is quite relaxing. I measured 5 grams of root because that's what the woman at the health food store said.

"Kava or kava kava or Piper methysticum (Latin "pepper" and Latinized Greek "intoxicating") is a crop of the Pacific Islands. The root of the plant is used to produce an entheogenic drink with sedative, anesthetic, and euphoriant properties".

I put CBD under my tongue as well. I told my doctor about CBD and how expensive it is and he told me that I could get a prescription for CBD eventually from a dispensary.

Everybody's anxiety and panic attacks defer somewhat. But SP is right, if it's chronic then they want you to use an SSRI or SNRI. The new one's like Brintellix is apparently amazing and doesn't mess with your sex life. I hear it works on just one receptor.

Strangely, what worked for me is Lithium, but that was giving me tremors at 900mg and then I went on lamotrigine, and that also stopped my panic attacks too. I don't know why that is. My anxiety and panic attacks always starts with my stomach and discomfort, and then it grows and grows.

Possible trigger:


As the day went on I felt better. I had to sit for a presentation today for work and I think that helped my state of mind. Helped calm me down.

Like I said I’m feeling way better now than yesterday. I cried myself to sleep last night I was so down.

I think often about not taking my meds but after this it’s really hitting home how important it is for me to take my meds.

Do you have ocd cog? Anyway I’m Sorry your morning was bad and yesterday. Sometimes I get intrusive thoughts and I just tell myself it’s my mind trying to tell me not to do that thing, the less concerned you are the less the thoughts seem to circle. Of course it’s not always that easy or the same for everyone.

People are using both....snap chat was kinda slow to some extent too although busier than here. I always check back for people who need help if I have any advice at all though.

That’s an important realization. Some people never get there.
Sorry you haven’t been feeling well. Still wishing they had given you an AD.

Not diagnosed but I believe likely I have OCD. It comes out when I’m stressed. Pulling out my hair, washing hands, obsessive thoughts, stuff like that. It’s never really gotten a full inspection by my doctor or the psych though.

I don’t know enough about OCD treatments but you may want to discuss with your doc.

I think most OCD treatments involve ADs and desensitization. Like forcing yourself not to preform rituals and stuff.

I meant to mention it to my doctor yesterday but other things came up. I told him if I started pulling out my hair or something I would come back and asked him I had told him about that and he believes I had mentioned it before.

Like I said I meant to tell him about rituals I do before bed and stuff but other stuff seemed more important.

Sounds like a similar treatment to anxiety....I can see ADs but desensitization is not for me.....
