Sadly, I relate to so many of these. Many of them I did or thought when I thought it was normal to think or act that way. I laugh and I cry at this. I think it will be funnier when I'm further along in the healing process. The thoughts "OMG, I do that too...you mean that isn't normal??" is a bit ove...

Hi again!! I get very glad when I just start my computer because there was a message that I can buy the programme I didn't think that works because I live in Sweden. Now I look forward to my package to come. Yes I understood that I must think in a different way but I can't do it on my own. It's a lo...

I've also had a bad experience with paxil and alcohol. I'll say it landed me in the hospital and the doctor made me promise not to do it again. I am the occasional drinker, I'm no longer on paxil but on benzo's and I do watch my intake. sometimes I drink the same drinks as the lady who is a nurse on...
