  • New Groups

    Friday, April 11, 2008

    Hi my dear friends,
    I love the new groups.  I have been spending most of my DS time there.
    I have created 3 groups. 1. Bipolar II. Created to help those who suffer from bipolar disorder with more tendencies of depression than mania. 2. Shopaholics. Created to help those who have an addiction to shopping. That one isn't going so good. Maybe, because I don't have much of a handle on ny ...

  • Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety

    Thursday, July 3, 2008 | An Educational story

    I started using my tapes and workbook from the Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety.  I thought why not tell my friends about this because it is extremely helpful.
    These are some things the program stresses:
    1. I can't change the past.
    2.  I can change my attitude.
    3.  I can change my present.
    4.  This condition is temporary.
    5.  Knowledge is power.
    6.  I am intelligen...

  • Twas the night before Elections

    Monday, November 3, 2008 | An Educational story

    'Twas the night before elections
    And all through the town
    Tempers were flaring
    Emotions all up and down!
    I, in my bathrobe
    With a cat in my lap
    Had cut off the TV
    Tired of political crap.
    When all of a sudden
    There arose such a noise
    I peered out of my window
    Saw Obama and his boys
    They had come for my wallet
    They wanted my pay
    To give to the others
    Who had not worked a day!
    He snatched up...

  • Addiction and Love

    Monday, November 24, 2008 | An Educational story

    Krishnamurti says that if we need things from someone, the conditional nature of need precludes us from truly loving them.  On one hand, as an addict, this makes complete sense.  All of my relationshiops with women over my lifetime deteriorated because of this.  Consciously I thought I was 'loving' them but what I was really doing was manipulating them emotionally into givi...

  • Coping With Loss and Grief.

    Monday, March 2, 2009 | An Educational story

    So, I am still really grieving the loss of Lauren, though it makes me feel angry (maybe irrationally so) to see the boards have "moved on" or whatever.  Sheesh, I decide to finally sleep and everyone is just back to posted about how they want to continue destroying themselves and "what should I do?!"  I feel like repeating over and over about how this WILL KILL YOU a...
