I spent most of my early life paralysed by it.
Luckily medication helped, and I've had 10 years of peace now. I realise meds don't work for everyone though.
It just sucks to be frightened when you don't even know what the threat is.

Medication for anxiety and depression literally saved my life--suicide seemed like credible options a number of times compared to the dark, deep well of depression, and the terror of anxiety I have experienced throughout my life. When I read anything that dismisses antidepressants or tranquilizers, I want to scream, "But I'm alive because of them!" I can remember where I was standing when certain anti's kicked in, and I felt like myself again. Believe me, Bridgers, I set "helpful" people straight when they suggest that maybe I go off my meds, that they're bad things, and I don't need them. I get really pissed off about it. What do they know, they aren't ME.

Again, none of this is AL related. I can't drink when I'm in those states of mind.

Have a wonderful, anxiety-free, depression-free, AF Tuesday, dear Aussie friends.

Morning ratbags,

Juju, Missy, Mr. Gee-u-r-a-star Bloke, and all to follow. Off into the wonderment that is life; excited by the inevitability of change; invigorated by the energy of the wind and rain and mild chaos of the weather at the moment; fusking grateful as all heck for the privilidge of the opportunities that are mine; even more humbly thankful for the clear headed gift of sobriety (I gave myself that one with the help of you special folk). Determined to tread softly on this delicate earth, and even more gently and compassionatley with those who need my help!!!!!

My cup is full, my house is safe, my heart is warm. Luvs yas all to the moon and back.

P.S. if the Frog turns up, please let her know that the spew bags are hanging behind the door.

Good morning undies and sundries...the day is good and while I'm not bursting at the seams with the joys of life like Saphers it is still ok. Behaving myself actually.

Morning Happstar,

Good to hear that you are behaving yourself? What exactly does that mean BTW.....does it mean that you are not in dire need of the naughty corner, or worse still, detention after school ...write out one thousand times: I must not call Miss Somers a fusking old troll"........she was and prolly still is (my fourth year science teacher)

:H Saphy! I had been straying to the naughty corner...sensing some toughish times ahead but not as bad as what has been...and the old habits were starting to kick in. Best part is that this time Mr Haps is on board. When I found here back in Feb he was very cynical. And that's changed, I think coz of the Undies.

My nightmare teacher was Miss Peachy - sounds delightful but a right screwed up bitch with a penchant for wacking 5 years old over the back of the legs with a feather duster, and not the fluffy bit. And if she is still alive I will order Reggies mates to "take care of her"

Nearly edited that too but have to add, by tough times I mean re sorting living arrangements NOT the parents/sister dying, losing business, no money crappage. So this is NOT something I will let get us in a hole of drinking coz it has become a habit to escape the woes that everyone can go through.

Morning all.
No Froglette ?
Perhaps she already has Stockholm Syndrome.
Must pop over and see how Sheri is.
Shitful luck about the house Saucy babe, but in a year's time you will be in an amazing place, not having to worry about rising creek water and thinking that you like 'this' place better anyway.

I have some friends who maintain that there is no such thing as depression. It simply means that you have 'the shits'. It took all my strength not to bitch slap them. Unless you've been there, you have no idea what it can be like.
