Re: Exercise = emotional release

Well, I don't have this problem, but I must congratulate you both on the exercise-induced emotional release. I understand that it's a little embarrassing and a little painful, but it's still progress, I think. Keep up with the good work, and eventually you'll get it all out and won't be crying when ...

Re: Having a drink or two after a workout

Well, you don't have to give it up forever, but the problem with using alcohol is that, because it is a chemical depressant, your brain will stop producing the depressive chemicals that keep your body normal since it is getting those chemicals. Because your brain doesn't readjust itself as soon as t...

Re: quitting caffeine

That is not moving forward, it's worse behavior. Actually, in this case, because you're adjusting, it's not worse behaviour. If you were doing this for years, then yes, it would be worse behaviour, but you're going through withdrawal symptoms, so your body is going to have to adjust. What are the r...

Re: Exercising increase anxiety?

Yeah, the chest pains could very well be from anxiety. What I recommend you do is do the exercise anyway. When you behave as you would if you didn't have the anxiety over exercising, your brain will have to align your emotions to your behaviour since your behaviour isn't changing. Eventually the anx...

I'm no psychologist, but I would imagine this is the case. Are you seeing a counselor for the PTSD?

Re: going back to JOB

What exactly are you thinking when you think about going to work? Do you think you have to be a perfect nurse? Do you worry about doing something that will injure someone? How long have you been a nurse? What actually happens (note that I'm not asking about your feelings) when you go into work? In o...

Thought replacement regarding taking some Advil for my hip

I have Congenital Hip Dysplasia , which for me means that I was born with an underdeveloped hip socket. Because I had 100% dislocation of both of my legs, I was put in a brace for the first 6 months of my life. I still have problems with the condition, with the majority of them happening when I walk...

Re: Trouble translating some thoughts

1) Well, sort of. I want to be able to be up early because a job won't care if I'm a morning person or not. I'll still have to be in by 7 or 8 or 10. I'm more of an afternoon or evening person. 2) Well, I'm not sure, but I'm afraid that he'll leave me if he gets too bored. 3) I'm afraid that I'll hu...
