I am Lovable and Capable Part lV: Become a Force of Nature

This is the fourth and I think the final part to the IALAC series. I have one final thought that I want to share. I realized it's not only important to learn how to protect your IALAC sign but also to learn how to make it stronger! So I offer this story about self awareness and becoming an active participant in your own life. I also wanted to give …

I am Lovable and Capable Part lll: How to Stop Your SIgn From Ripping

JulieC

I wasn't planning on a part three to the "I am Lovable and Capable (IALAC)" series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and part two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness.

I think many of us rip …

I am Lovable and Capable Part II: The Importance of Recognizing Negative Core Beliefs

By Julie May 4, 2008 11:05am 13 Comments

JulieC

I am asked almost daily how to "fix" depression, anxiety and panic. Many want to know about a pill or a word or where to buy the pixie dust that will "cure" them. I understand the urgency to find that "quick fix." I know personally what it feels like to suffer with anxiety. I have read posts & journals on Daily Strength of people suffering. In …

she just called me about 15 minutes ago. God it feels so good to talk to her. I was really mad this morning because i got a message on fubar from her that ruined my whole day, but when i talked to her on the phone, she said she didn't write it which kinda confuses me, but she's a very nice person and i don't believe she would ever do that. She said she would get rid of her fubar accou...

My buggy update

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 | A General Update story

Well I went back to the clubhouse after my "bedbug" episode yesterday. I was so quiet everyone could tell I had an attitude probably but I didn't care. I think I was just insulted because I've known the staff for years and I think they would know I didn't have bedbugs. I was trying to be proactive and not reactive. I can't believe they sent me home for 2 freaking hours, ...

Living with a WOW addict

Thursday, June 25, 2009

He was my fiance at one time. There was a time that we were very happy and things looked so promising for us. That was years ago. Now that we're settled into our "life" together, there is no life. All my life consists of is waking up alone, going about my daily routine alone, eating alone, cleaning up alone, watching TV alone, going out alone. Even when we are in the same room toget...

Video Game Addiction Information

Game addiction is a form of psychological addiction related to a compulsive use of computer and video games, most notably MMORPGs - open ended, online video games known for their depth, breadth, and social interaction. People suffering from this form of addiction may experience intense cravings to play the game and may also suffer symptoms of withdrawal when they stop playing the game. Those affected may also enter long periods of self-imposed social isolation where friends and family are excluded. One example of this is the gamer widow, a term used to designate a spouse or significant other who has been neglected because of the video game addiction.
