AF Daily - Monday 7/19

OK, that was a kick arse ride! Now I've overcome the hurdle of the bike rack on the little car. The bike barely clears the ground but it'll get me to the park. I rode a good 45 minute ride with some ravines I had to get off and push up. And true to form...... within the first 5 minutes I rode into a big muddy suckhole obscured by grasses and fell off when the bike slogged to a stop. That was right before I flew down the trail and SAW the spider in the web crossing it just before it hit my face. AAACCCKKKK!!!

Marshy, thanks - I have the tool box open before me and am pulling everything out just in case. I just tapered off an antidepressant that MD put me on back when FH left. You'd think it should have been the other way around, right? :H This is actually new territory for me. I don't exactly know what it's like to be AF and medF. I'm sure it will be fabbie.

chill, I feel your pain.

LVT, good links!

Lav, so will you have feeling? A fingerprint?

It is good to be queenie. Now back to work.

X-post bear. Hey you don't have to believe it. Just keep saying it and pretending. You know the saying "fake it till you make it". Sounds like you have a good evening planned - stick to it!

Yep, I've heard of Rockhoppers. Good bikes. So it that going to be a regular thing (maybe without the spider next time)?

WOW!
I never considered a missing fingerprint! If I could manage to commit a crime using just my right pinky finger...............:H:H

Greenie, I tried (several times) taking Lexapro for the depression I ended up with (caused by someone who seems to enjoy breaking my heart). All it ever did was make me feel numb & basically shitty. I've been taking the OTC Amoryn for the past 18 months & I swear it has helped me tremendously. Take a look at it: AMORYN Mood Booster | Natural Antidepressant | Supplement for Depression & Anxiety

bear, hang in there! Life never stops handing us BS. We can choose the way we handle it though. You are doing great, keep up the good work

Oh, I should be doing some work...........

Yes it is and walking there. Alternating with the gym / pool, and there is a National Forest nearby that is by another river and has good trails - harder than the county park.

I know absolutely nothing about antidepressants, but you know "they" say that exercise (especially outside) is better than any medication. I read an article about that recently. I'll try to find it..

Lav I'm hoping to not take anything. I have a drawer full of anxiety meds I don't take. It's that hoarder part of me that fills the Rx. :H MD did not know about AL. He knows I do not drink now (I love filling out that form and marking "none" or "never") but not about the past. Paxil is what I was taking.

It is and I know that. I just didn't practice it.

oh man what a Monday, Bear you and I are both having heck of a day it sounds like. I got so stressed I started feeling sick and had to force myself to get up and walk and just breath. whew! much better now. my dear Dx is such a love...what would I do without her.

Gaia, ditto this bigtime: One thing I really like about this thread (put it on my gratitude list for today) is the love of food and tastes that this thread comes back to again and again. No need for AL to be a bon vivant, for sure. Since letting go of AL, my sense of smell seems to be perking up and so food is becoming more interesting

all my senses are finally working well these days after a good AF stint.

I was hoping to stay home this week but no. off to pack up the car again dang it.

be well everyone

Safe travels to you Deter
I'm sitting here thru yet another thunderstorm, hard rain, wind, etc. I hope you don't encounter any of that!

Marshy, I just sliced off the outer, right tip of my finger (and of couse the nail too). Stupid, dumb accident. I need to pay more attention (obviously) when I handle sharp objects

Greenie, I like the herbal product I mentioned earlier because it relieves anxiety with no sedation & stabilizes your mood. A calm life with no mood swings.........Wow, what a great idea!!!!! I'm planning to stay on it for a very long time

I think my dog is hiding in the shower again - she doesn't like these storms!

I did look at the link and understand the potency aspect of St. John's Wort. I'm all for herbal products. But first I'm looking forward to just regular bare naked me.
