I am currently waiting for all the lions in my head to get back in their cages so I have like the attention span of a potato, and I know this has been brought up before, but I would like to bring it up again since I forgot. LOL

Ok, I CANNOT STAND: Being hungry or tired, having anything on me be sore or achy, being too hot or too cold, if it's too loud or too busy, if it is too bright. The seams on my clothes bother me, all tags are immediately destroyed and I have yes given clothing away that was impossibly itchy or binding.

I find that when this is going on I become Incredibly Tense. And QUIET. Like the calm before the storm. I have discovered that Quiet Halter is Unpredictable Halter.

Anybody else????

Yes very much so. I have noticed I have zero tolerance for clothes to tight, weather, noise, stupid conversation, ppl with stupid faces, all and more. I don't explode but I feel superior and above when in reality I know I'm not. Working out for me is helping releive alot of tension. I do like being alone alot. No surprise there:)

At certain times, mostly when I'm tired.

I don't get tired very often.

I definately understand this. Everything triggers me depending on my emotional state. My tolerance to pain, cold, noise, chatter, weather, is all intensified when I'm on the down swing.

I meditate to relieve tension.

There are loads of other things I do, like Tai Chi or a bit of Pilates.

It all comes down to focussing on the breathing.

I'm new here, and I am so happy I found this site because it is so difficult for other people to understand how little things like, tight clothes, noise, loud music, etc. can make me want to jump off a bridge into oncoming traffic sometimes. Thank goodness I'm not alone.

Sorry babe. I am the exact opposite. I know that when I am in a "hyper" state that I have the most be concerned over. It during my quiet times that I am able to be more reflective upon myself and therefore at a greater ease with myself.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
