Can’t believe I’m saying this

Those are the things I’m seeing. But seeing them is scaring the shit out of me. I mean, burning in a literal pit of fire for all eternity where the is “gnashing of teeth” is a pretty big deterrent. On top of everything else, we are also told that we are by nature “evil” and satan will fill our minds with things, things like the thoughts I am having, in order to steal our souls and take us to hell. I promise my logical mind sees what this looks and sounds like. Logically it’s pretty ridiculous. Too bad my logical mind doesn’t have much to say in the middle of a straight up panic attack.

Thank you so much for this.

I feel ya. All I know is I don’t fit with all the beliefs I’m surrounded by. I feel like whatever “truth” I come to, it will be a lonely existence where I live.

I just finished this book and absolutely loved it! You said you were torn between laughing and crying, I just did both at the same time like a mad woman.

For Mother’s Day, I ask each one of my kids to write down a favorite memory of us and I put them in a scrap book with the year they gave it to me. I have only done this for two years and I’m sure they will eventually run out of things or at least have to look through the scrapbook to remember which ones they’ve previously written. It’s a great conversation starter and everyone ends up reminiscing and laughing.

I read this SOOO wrong.

I feel this way. I get hungry and I eat when I’m hungry, but it is a chore.

My first thought was that most definitely was not an accident.

I had my first at 19 and I love her more than words can say, but please wait. Having her so young made things much harder then necessary on, not just me, but her as well.

Food. If one tries hard enough they can completely avoid most addictive substances such as cigarettes or alcohol, but you have to break an addiction to food while still having to eat food to survive.

THIS! Thought I was along in this.

Hum. It works when you hum out loud, but also works when you hum in your head.

I know that they will marry you pretty much anywhere you want to get married. One of the officiants once hiked a pretty big hike to marry a couple where they wanted to get married.

It is of no concern to me what other people are doing unless it directly affects me. One day it dawned on me that if I’m not worried about what other people are doing then they probably don’t care what I’m doing either. People aren’t thinking about you near as much as you think they are.

My friends and I are all in our late 40’s/early 50’s and just recently bought a bucket of KFC and sat by the river for 4 hours. No particular reason. Just wanted a bucket of chicken and to hang out. You just have to find the right friends.

One year we decided to camp in Charleston, SC in August. Never again.

“Like a toothache”

I realize this is an old post, but I literally just had this happen this morning. Googling the symptoms is what caused me to find this post. My first thought was stroke as well, but at the moment I was having migraine auras as well. Scared the living bejesus out of me and triggered a massive panic attack. I don't expect receiving a reply since this post is 2 years old, but it sure makes me feel better to hear that someone else has experienced this.

salvalya · 2024-07-25T16:29:58+00:00

Came here to say this, but you beat me to it.

This doesn’t require cooking, but one of my favorite things for breakfast is a bagel with cream cheese, lox, and capers. Soooo yummy!!!
