I cant type enough. I'm anxious after a busy houseful full of people all day long.

Im in my room finally with some peace. Fun is fun but dont they get it when they see my face.
Sometimes relatives outlive their welcome. lol

I need some space.

I am with you Friday. Fortunately I didnt host this year so we were able to leave when we wanted to. I think relatives tend to over stay their welcome because they feel a warmth amount their family. Obviously you made them very comfortable in your home. At least now, you can slow down, breath, and relax. Good for you, you deserve it and you made it through. Luv and hugs, Shelly

I'm with you. I actually had a small holiday today. Stuffed myself though. Friday, you are so brave to have people over! I would have a panic attack just thinking about it. Take a break and put your feet up with a nice cup of tea.
peace, teresa

Thank you for saying hi Shelly4. Im trying to relax but the medication makes me go in both directions sometimes. I dont like people who are loud and the excitement just stresses me beyond my limits.
Youre breathing idea was what got me over to the window I opened it and the cold air feels good.
I hope Jeff calls tonight he flew to Mass. to be with his family. Hes my bf.
hugs carol

Hi Fridays child. Welcome. I'm sure in a little while you will balance out. Just stay on here for a while until you feel better. Sounds like you miss your bf too.

Thank you blbenson4
I want to let you know I can be moody even with my meds but that I usually end just crying. Today I was up since 3:30 this morning so tired I guess. Happy Thanksgiving and sorry for being down. Or up.

Hi, welcome, I'm fairly new to this site and have found great support and advice. This is a really good site, I belong to 3 other support sites and this one is by far the best.

Hi Friday! I'm new tonight too but just looking around i've found this site very welcoming. And i belong to other support sites and i like this one the best. I have tons of people over right now and i'm hiding out in the basement of my parent's house...being so rude but i can't help my antisocial behavior.

    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...
