      From happychi June 29


      Smiles and love and hugs. In Exodus I cannot remember the chapter in teh Bible.. but it is where the Iseraltes are in front of the Red Sea and the Egyptions are coming after them. And the people are woo boo hoo. And God says to them DO Nothings but WAIT. God tells them to wait till he says go and which way to head. When God moved the waters back the people were not allowed to rush across just then but he told them to wait while he sent a wind to dry the land that was now exposed... other wise the people would have sunk up to their waist in muck and been stuck. Wait on the Lord to say go and then listen to where He says to go.

    • Close Anger Management

      Partner has a lot of anger issues; I am coping with it. Need to learn from others, so I won't "engage" in these ridiculous arguments...

    • Open Depression
      Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

      I have a low-grade depression; I describe it as a reduced level of serotonin in my brain. I'm currently using SAM-e which seems to help. I just don't have the same follow through or motivation of people with a more "up" brain chemistry. I've been severely depressed a couple of times in my life

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Writing Considering
      SAM-e Working / Worked
      This dietary supplement seems to help and have no side effects; it is a naturally occurring chemical in the body; some of us just don't have enough.

      This is an excellent "medicine" for all mental health issues.

      Not enough coming in to cover the outgoing. But I'm quite frugal and generally pay all bills on time. I'm actually very good with money.
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Living w/verbally abusive man for 8+ years. Losing my toleration. I deserve better. He's softening, but probably not enough!

      I've done this from time to time. Would love to take an art class!!!
      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      EMDR Working / Worked
      I left that therapist when I started going out with my current "beau" whom I knew was not a stellar person, so to speak. So I don't know how it would have worked.

      Always a great therapy in my book!!!

      Treatments

      We only went once; the counselor pretty much s**ked.
      Patience Not Working
      I'm the only patient one, so this doesn't help much.
      Talking Not Working
      I don't really have anyone to talk to about this 'cause everyone says LET GO OF IT.
