Ever notice how challenges keep popping up every time you finally feel content with one aspect of your life?
You have your little happy dance, exclaim a loud "yes!" for achieving certain goals which you were striving for over an extended period of time and then.. WHAM! An unforeseen, uninvited, completely intrusive curve ball is thrown at you at such a speed, there is no time to react but take the hit. Sitting here curled up on the couch, unable to sleep, sipping on a cup of angry green tea with lemon (angry because it was made extra strong) pondering all this gunk fretting on my mind. IP: Logged |

Yes indeed.
I totally know what that is like.
Out of nowhere, at hyper speed they come wham, ouch! 
And when I find out who is throwing those curve balls,
I am going to thwack the heck out of them.  Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah we should whack them lmoa! I kick though  .
Thanks, Lexx.
It's human nature to wonder why and display frustration from time to time. It's just darn annoying. Sigh. IP: Logged |

Yeppers!
Kick bite whack stomp those curve balls and the throwers to blazing smithereens! 
It may not sound positive thinking but in truth this is:
"Anger is more productive than despair"
Sometimes when the curve balls are hitting so hard and fast that one cannot think;
then get angry and scream out;
"I WILL NOT BE STOPPED!"
Sure it will not automatically help but it is often amazing how taking an emotional big bad bat to the curve balls and throwers of them;
can give you the energy to fight or cope better at least.
Kind of like yelling in Karate, or heavy lifting, that adrenaline surge from the primal yell can give one a much needed boost physically and psychologically.
Though sometimes we must give in and accept things and just rest until the bad things pass.
On that note, exhausted, too tired and dizzy to yell.
Back to sleep for me.
Sleep is healing also and seems needed whilst battling the chicken pox etc.

Yeah, I've noticed that can happen too. You never know about those curve balls though.....sometimes they hit you, knock you on your butt, to save you from the outcome you were moving towards. I think sometimes they happen to prevent what seemed like good happening and to shake things up a bit. Get you to pause and re-evaluate what is going on.IP: Logged |

It's difficult when you did achieve a goal and an old issue resurfaces; one which you had dealt with and resolved. It's starts feeling like a never ending cycle there to taunt you. Then you start second guessing the hard work and effort you had put into it in the first place.

You may have a valid point there, T (the part about re-evaluating). I'm too grouchy to elaborate right now.  My emotions are all over the place and rationalizing any thought now is useless. Bleh.

Lexx, hopefully after those horrid pox go away, you'll be able to have somewhat of a fresh start.
Do you know how you got it btw?
Much healing and get plenty of rest! Hey, Dee. Nice to see you pop in here.  ------------------

The story of our lives! You never give up though, which makes you strong even it may not feel so.

Yes, it depends on what we are talking about too. My comment might not have fit with what you are talking about. But in general, it might apply.I am dealing with "period-itis" right now too. It's making me all around exhausted and reflective, reclusive....as usual at this time of month. I just want to lie down and keep taking Advil and wait til it's over....again. Hope you are figuring things out and riding the tide as best you can. IP: Logged |

I'm tired as well, and mostly hiding - BUT I want to thank you for mentioning taking tylenol (or something) before the period hits, because I've barely been cramping! For some reason - maybe something else kicked in mentally, I don't know. I'm still wiped out, though. I found out on Sunday, that one of my dogs has cancer. Most likely. I keep thinking to myself "benign," but that takes the edge off so I'm not doing as much as I should. when the edge isn't off, then I'm in a panic - I can't win!
and the past few years have been about just that, charmaine: thinking you have something beaten, only to have it come around and whack you even harder than it ever did before. I'm having issues with my age, too, and trying not to - I don't want to be age-obsessed, but I've been feeling it for the past few years. Especially with all of the sickness, stress and loss.

Sorry to hear, Teasel. What cancer do they think he has? Can it be treated?

What about ageing causes you anxiety?
Is it ageing in general or that you have not achieved certain goals yet? Most worry about that in general as if they are racing against the clock so to speak.------------------

My frustrations are health related. Everything is fine for a while and then unexpectedly it strikes again.
I have done everything under the sun to no avail. Diet, supplements, homeopathic remedies.. the list is endless. I don't drink or smoke and exercise daily. Some methods worked for a while and then it's back to square one. I just don't know what to do any more. Sigh.------------------

Sorry if I seem cryptic or vague but I still don't feel comfy discussing certain things on here. When you get wrapped up in a convo and posting you tend to forget this is a public forum and there are plenty of creepos out there, although most of you "oldies" know what it's about.It's not nice feeling that you can't be as open anymore. I miss that. It's not paranoia either. It's true. You'll be surprised how many never interact with you here but read your posts and suddenly have a lot to say (negative) when post something personal. ------------------

teasel, i'm sorry to hear about your dog and that you are feeling crummy.Glad what i mentioned is helping with cramps. I read that it only works with ibuprophen (can't remember exactly why, something in it stops the pain chemicals the body produces during menstruation from multiplying), but maybe tylenol works sometimes too! I've been dealing with panic/anxiety too. Wish I had some advice to give you to help with that. Hang in there. IP: Logged |

That sucks. I thought you were probably talking about health related issues. Youve done the best you can do and at this point all you can do is continue to take care of your health as best you can, i think. Not give up, but not let it get you too down.  IP: Logged |

Yeah, it is true. I sometimes forget that there are a lot of people reading here too (members and non members) and I know some people like to gossip and spread rumors. Yeah, a shame it doesnt feel safe here anymore. Those days are gone for good I guess. IP: Logged |

Thanks, T. It actually makes me more determined when hitting brick walls. Going to try and not fret about it too much but just continue to try and find a solution. What doesn't break us, makes us stronger. ------------------

It depends. Some days, I have a I-don't - give - a - snot attitude (why be worried about what people read when you have a right to share your experiences/ feelings and they are the intruders!)And then two seconds later feel the opposite about it. Lol! Such is life. I suppose we have to make the best of a situation instead of hoping for change. :\ ------------------

Yeah, that's all you can do. Your solution will come. Try not to let the process or journey there in the meantime take you down.I'm also trying to make the best of an ongoing stressful situation that years ago I would not have been able to handle so well. Now I am better equipped I believe, because i've been through worse and it's really out of my hands to a degree. So, it's either go crazy(crazier lol), have a breakdown, or go with the flow and not let it force me deeper into depression. Not easy, but I'm not going to let it kick my ass. Just have to keep on keepin' on and try to find the bright side(s) and focus on those....or else i won't make it. bleh. anyway...... Stay strong.
