    • About Me

      a bit of an adventurous and curious type (i.e. slacker); wanderlust seems to be part of my nature; still searching for what I want to be/do when I grow up (do I have to?); have great friends, family, and g/f... who have been incredibly patient with me always during my periods of 'fretting'; of course, anxiety, OCD, and depression run in the family, so I'm one of the gang!

    Give sisyphus1 a hug



    • Moment of Peace

      From clutter March 30

      Just a quick Howdie Doo? Hope everything is well.

    • Congrats

      From clutter March 15

      That's good to know. I randomly picked congrats. Seems to fit. I'm not on quite as often either because I'm busy. Anyhow, my therapy is going OK, though sometimes I feel a little slack about it. But I'm getting there.

    • Celebration

      From clutter February 27

      OK, it's the random cursor game. My mouse found the "celebration" button. What are we celebrating? I haven't been on as much for the past couple of days, so maybe I missed something. Still really busy and trying to cope off of DS if you know what I mean. Anyway, I hope you have REASON to celebrate... you've found a house maybe or you've gotten past another mile stone! Whatever it is... YIPEE!

    • Hug

      From clutter February 17

      Yeah, stick with it for certain. If you are wanting to bail, then I agree, it must be doing something. Same here.

      From clutter February 16

      How goes it? Things are pretty calm for me right now except for a couple of decisions I need to make. (I do hate decisions.) Anyway, have a great day.

    • Close Depression

      Seems this may be more a factor than I thought. The signs were probably always there... I have a BIG problem with obsessive ruminations...

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Was somewhat helpful, but did I just "pretend" to not care?
      Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I can never tell if this helps RID my mind of the bad stuff... or reinforces it.
    • Close Anxiety

      Anxiety. Fear. They spiral in on each other until something pops. Typically, I've reacted by pushing away the people who love me... which I almost did this time. The jittery days, the weight on my chest. It's a horrible feeling few understand and I wouldn't wish on anyone.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      seemed to take the edge off immediately, though there are slight side effects and I'm only at 10mg.
