Thank you so much everyone. And Tina, I agree that the death of someone close reminds you of your own mortality. I have been thinking about how I grieve, about how to describe it...the moment I find out about someone's death it seems like someone hit me very hard with a sharp object over the head an...

It's odd how my palpitations came back the moment I heard today at 3 p.m. What makes her death worse it that I haven't seen her in years. She lives in Poland and I don't even have a curret passport to go. I just dread anxiety that will come after grieving. It's odd. We were not that close and she wa...

Flyer, I know I have to start doing that. You're absolutely right. I can only do so much, the rest I just have to filter out. It's awful that the rescue I work with sends these horrific reports all the time and without knowing what they are, I open them and read them. Eh, it's something you just can...

I really don't what it is...when I hear about animals suffering I just feel this intnese electrocuting feeling in my muscles. They are so innocent. I can't STAND to hear it. I want to rip my eyes out and run screaming around my house...well no, but still, the emotional agony is similar. I do resuce ...

I have to say I comletely disagree with not taking suplements and vitamins for mood. The truth is, even in winter, I get depressed if I don't take vitamin D. I get very tired, crave food like mad and get depressed. I know it is also important to take calcium and magnesium to regulate mood. But I als...

Apparently this is not a disease of the heart, it affects th...

PaisleeGreen, I'm so so sorry hear about your son. I teach and I can't imagine treating a student like that who was bullied. I was bullied mysef, but then my anger scared them away. He he I'm awful when I'm really angry. May be it was a good thing then. But wow, HSP is really something school admini...

Are you talking about the new web format or fear in general? Ha ha. Have no fear of technology. :D But yes, I think fear can save your life as long as it is based on reality. Most of my "fears" or anxiety for a long time have been fictional or a negative what if in my head. I think it's so imporant ...

I know I wrote a lot in the private message ha ha. But don't worry there are so many delicious options. I have to say I'm not sorry I'm a Celiac...it introduced me to a whole new way of eating and cooking. I never thought I could learn to make such delicious meals. And I know what you mean about the...

I always thought fear involved a real life danger, but anxiety did not. Anxiety seems to be a what-if kind of feeling that may or may not happen like you don't know the outcome of something or may be connected to something that will never happen and is irrational. Fear is actually necessary for surv...
