I just want to come on here and let everyone know that if you have a difference of opinion I really hope that you express it. I have recieved a lot of private messages about another topic and a lot of people were afraid to express their opinions because they didn't want to make anyone angry.


PLEASE EXPESS YOURSELF. by all means.....

If you find yourself of a different opinion of someone else it's ok... discuss it... learn from it... you don't have to agree with it.. but express your opinion/feeling on any and all the subjects.

You can't deal with it if it's not on the table.

I have always felt better after expressing how I feel about something then when I hold it in right or wrong. Talk about feelings/laws/abuse/husbands/wifes/childeren....if you have feelings on the subject at hand offer them at worst you can only make people think.

I used to be angry and my anger came across when I wrote or spoke. I have learned to take a timeout when I am angry and resolve what I am really feeling. It was hard for me to see another's point of view when I was always angry.

That's just it tho.....

If you find yourself aggrovated or disliking some statement express it and talk about.

If your really emotional or upset sit down and write out.... and express those feelings.

I have trained martial arts for a few years now and I have never never raised a hand to anyone out of anger. If I get angery about something I sit down and write it down. That will give you a reflection of not only what you think and feel but how others will see you. to take even a step futher... express here in these fourms.... having a difference with someone isn't a bad thing.

That sounds good. I just do not like to put out such negative energy to other people. I would rather internalize it and try to dig underneath the anger because anger for me is a defense mechanism that learned when I had to survive during my abusive marriage. i got so out of touch with my real feelings that it took almost 2 years of therapy to reconnect with myself. When I feel angry, I know there is something I am REALLy feeling underneath that I am protecting myself from. When i let go and allow myself to really undertand what I am feeling, I feel calm.

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
