I think it makes me a better person in that I have empathy for people also going through mental illness.....I have to look after myself to deal with it but thats not a bad thing......

Hi Grass,
And thanks for commenting. I think that's a very sweet and kind gesture for you to say. I'm glad you understand what people are going through. It's not easy. Yes we all have to take care of our well being, but you know what that's part of life. So that's a good thing. Glad to hear from you. And your comment was much appreciated. I know it's not your favorite thing to do. But you did it and it was a great comment. Thanks, italianmomma4ever

And Grass for commenting I'm sending you a virtual bag of Hershey kisses. Grins. Don't eat them all at once.
Take care. Italianmomma4ever

I am in the beginning of treatment. I was diagnosed partially in November and had a more firm diagnosis in December.. I struggle everyday right now. I guess the most important so far is grounding techniques. These techniques have helped me control disassociation because I was having a lot of episodes with amnesia and would end up losing hours and wondered what I did all day, or finding myself in places not knowing what I did during that lost time or how I got to the location I woke up in which is scary.

Hi Secouya,
Wow! I'm so sorry to hear how your feeling. That is very scary to me. I'm glad you have found some techniques to help you cope. I'm so sorry that everyday is a struggle. Just get better and feel better. Forgetting what you did and not knowing how you got to wear you are is devastating to me. That's so scary. You didn't remember anything. Amnesia is a scary feeling to have. I couldn't imagine going through what you were feeling.. Praying for you. Your such a nice person to have to deal with this and please just get better. You have been through so much lately. Stay strong. Much love to you. My thoughts are with you. Italianmomma4ever

And Secouya,
Also thank you as always for commenting on my post. I know you have told me you always like my posts and I do appreciate that. I'm glad I can help. You take good care. Italianmomma4ever

Hi invisablefriend,
Thank you for commenting on my post. I love your answer and attitude. Things do change when you have a different outlook on life. Things look more clearer to me and I can focus better. And my whole mood changes. I take everyday one day at a time and just make the best out of every situation that I'm going through. Having a positive attitude and just staying in the present is a must for me. Hope you enjoy your day. And thanks for you input. Great advice!!! Italianmomma4ever

Hi invisablefriend,
I sent you a friend request.

I talk out liud about it especially at work. Come to find out im
Not alone. Many just don’t acknowledge or talk about it. Xoxo

Hi broken1003,
It's nice to meet you. So you let it all out at work. Lol
A lot of people especially men don't really talk about it. I guess it's more of a mucho thing for guys not to say anything. To me men or women it is still something that needs to be addressed and taken care of. And theres different ways of doing that. It just depends what your diagnosed with. A therapist can tell you that. And then you can go from there. No one needs to suffer in silence. Hope this helps. Thank you for your comment. Italianmomma4ever. Xoxo

I wear a cat mask usually ,its getting to the stage outside that I feel uncomfortable without one.

I forgot it yesterday and the first thing I did was go and buy one and put it on.

Although my eyes are not happy,because I can,t wear my glasses with a mask as they fog up every second breath,and they wont stay on my ears because the elastic is there.

I tried putting a tissue in the top but then I couldn,t breathe...

Whoops right reply to wrong comment

Hi Grass,
Long as you wear your mask you will be safe and not sorry. Yes the masks do get alittle warm. Plus it's been very warm here. Well I'm glad you commented. Thanks your doing great. Keep up the good work. Italianmomma4ever

Hi. I’ve learned that a lot of what causes anxiety, at least in my case , is the thoughts and fears that go on in my head. I see I can be my own worst enemy but it is reassuring to know that the symptoms we are feeling, although very intense cannot harm us. I find people with anxiety are very intuitive and extremely bright. If only we can stop the negative chatter in our minds! Learning to be patient with myself and thinking positive even when it seems grim it the best thing I have learned. Have a wonderful night!

Hi Grass,
Did you get alittle mixed up. That's o.k. It's all good. Grins
