Possible 'Cure' for what ails you

OK, I feel good now, so here's the prescription:

1. If diabetic, check blood sugar (mine was off)

2. If you haven't taken your meds, do so now (I hadn't)

3. Have something to eat (always helps)

4. Tell your dogs all about it (and your cats, too, if yours will listen. Mine usually manage to vanish in a crisis)

5. Take a nap

6. Kick yourelf for being a butt (if this applies in your case)

7. Try to act like a 'normal' person hereafter

I have done numbers 1-6 and am working on number 7

Thanks for the kind messages, they were appreciated!

I'm glad you figured out how to get "back on track". I don't think any of us are very interested in "normal" around here. We just want people as they are.

My Mom was in a nursing home for 13 years with Alzheimer's. When I got to feeling down, I would visit her and then, I would consider myself pretty darn lucky I did not deal with what most of those people were dealing with. It helps to keep things in perspective and to keep a positive attitude. Good for you. Prayers and hugs.

I especially like your #4 and #5. My dog listens attentively whenever I speak to her. She's my best "bud". And naps always help. I hurt so badly when I'm either standing or sitting. Lying down is always good.

Great to have you feeling better! Scratch 7 on the list!
I think the "they" that decided what normal is are the weird ones!
Love and hugs!

Re: what is normal? I meant act like I normally do....which you understand, has nothing to do with what 'normal' people would consider 'normal' behavior..not that I actually know any 'normal' people..I just have been told I'm NOT 'normal'. whatever it is..What was the question again???

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
