Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Time Change - OT

Time to reset the clocks, again. I sure wish my body clock reset as easily as my alarm clock. Grumble, grumble, grouse. . .


But there is a bill in the Senate which would make Daylight Savings Time permanent. No falling back this Fall. I'd sure like that.

It would be great if we could just keep the time the same all year!

I’m all for permanent day light savings time.

In my state, we already all voted to keep Daylight Savings Time all year, and it passed, probably 3 years ago we voted on this, but we still change the clocks!!!

I don't even care which one they pick, but just keep it the same all year. Tired of all the time changing. Too dark in the winter with the Fall Back change. Wish they would just pick one of them and stick with it!

My friends and associates in countries which don't change their clocks complain even harder than I do. Remembering to add or subtract the DST to/from the time zones is hard.

I am still trying to figure out why we do it anymore. It does mess up a lot of stuff.

I do love me the later sunsets... I don't feel like I should be going to bed at 7PM, or something. But I also don't like waking up in the dark. I should probably move somewhere more equatorial, but easier said than done.

This Bill in the Senate has been going on for years. I wish the heck they would pass it already. No one likes DST, especially in the winter when it's Dark at 4p.m. EST. Pass the damn thing already!!

Brockster,
My favorite part of living in Ecuador was the 12 hour days/12 hour nights, 12 months a year. Their weather varies more by altitude than by season. That part was divine. But then we get to all those other pesky details. . . Where's my perfect life?

I believe the bill has been going through one level of government or another since the late 40's when it out-lived its usefulness to reserve oil for WWII troops. Further proof that laws are easier to pass than they are to rescind? Go figure. . .

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
