    • Flower

      From BeatinBP September 7

      I truly meant you know offence ealier. I was bantering with you, I am dry witted and more often than not taken seriously when such is not my intent. I will not pursue a friendship with you out of respect for your feelings. Be HAPPY, and LOVE YOU, if you are able to master these two personal traits then you will be the heavenly creature you are so designed to be. Bye!!!

    • I’m With You

      From BeatinBP September 7

      I am sorry darling, I have been pulling your chain, and I thought you may have worked that out, it was certainly the inference I gained from your initial hug. I know of his sexuality, and applaud him for being upfront about it, because in reality, whose business is it? I am heterosexual but I don't feel the need to tell the world about it, and nor should he be made feel compelled to do so, I am sure you agree.

      Jason is a fellow male, and a man of great substance, this is what I appreciate most about him, as for him being gay, so what?

      I am sure he understands that I am bantering with him, just as I am with you.

      Again I am sorry if I have offended you because no offence was intended, however, if you feel I have overstepped the mark, then punish me by removing me from your friends list, so I can beg you for forgiveness, what do you think about that idea then?

      I love you sweetheart, in the same way I love Jason, and all those on my friends list, I do hope you forgive me, in fact I beg of you to do so, so that when you do, I can romance with you again, and I know you like such attention, what pure blooded AUSTRALIAN woman doesn't afterall? You are pure blooded aren't you?

    • Close Anxiety

      I have suffered anxiety since i was a child and I have had traumatic life experiences that have triggered depression and made anxiety worse only now I am 28 and since starting counselling I understand what it is. I am currently on the medication effexor which is helping alot no panic attacks or stomach aches since started.

      Treatments

      Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful
      my counsellor showed me how to slow breathing down by counting in for 4 and out for 4 has worked a little but I have a hard time concentrating on more than one thing at a time hard when at shops or dinner when so much is happening around me.
    • Close Single Parenting

      I'm a single mum of two I am also a childcare worker so kids 24/7 I am very proud to be a single mum as I know how much I am capable of now things I wouldn't have known I could do if I stayed with my ex.

    • Open Shyness

      I have suffered shyness all my life I think it comes from lack of self esteem and confidence in myself anxiety on top of this. I constantly worry about making a fool of myself but learning to laugh at myself and accept my personality. I've learned shyness goes away when I surround myself with people who accept me for who I am I'm lucky I have that.

      Treatments

      Pets Working / Worked
      I had a dog that past away she helped as she loved me no matter what you can totally be yourself around dogs or pets and they still love you unconditionally. I will allways have dogs in my life.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I am not entirely happy with my counsellor at moment but she has brought me back to reality somewhat when I worry about things I can't control
      Self-esteem Working / Worked
      I have gone into childcare to boost my selfesteem and confidence. Being around children I am most confident I can sing play games even play the easter bunny in front of 60 parents. This career has been good for me as I am put in situations where I have to rise above the shyness to do my job well.
      Socializing Too Soon to Tell
      Its hard to date when you are too shy to go out and meet new people where do you start with that. I am getting more confident in having conversations but I never seem to get to the next step actually going on a date.
      Effexor Working / Worked
      I have been on Effexor dosage one 75mg tablet a day for anxiety and depression for a couple of months and I feel the most confident and less shy I have ever felt. It seems to take away most of the constant worrying and self consiousness so my true personality is coming out more. I had side effects for a couple of weeks dizzyness nausea loss of appetite. but I felt it working and all the side effects are gone now.
    • Open Asperger Syndrome

      My 8 year old son was diagnosed over a year ago with Aspergers disorder. Things are going ok but I want to get him in the right programs and access all the help we can. I am focusing on getting to know his needs and we are moving closer to city to access better services.
