Anxiety over a forum anyone?

[Noonehere]

well, u can put up smiley pictures.  songs. the Cafe.  u don't have to interact with anyone really.

i have not felt like speaking much myself of late.

When they brought xanax out, it was heralded as a benzo that does not get one addicted.  Physically or emotionally.  Balderdash.  I know doctors on it for life.

Your doctor is trying to save his license.  Very few in medical profession really care how different our lives are on a benzo.

or a mild PK.

Take ur time.  This is a great topic.  And, we have many activities wherein u don't interact with another.  We have busy periods here.  Early on work days people are here.  At lunch.  But, it is quiet a lot during the day hours.

I have faith in u.  I personally am a shy person.  I just have felt that I am to run a ministry/forum to help others.  Its my job, so to speak, now that i am permanently disabled.

Good luck.  Let us know.  Some doctors will script for u.  But, that scenario is getting more and more difficult.

It seems our needs don't matter.

Charon I really think you are an angel! When I was on the forum a couple of years ago we spoke and you told me basically the same thing. My problem is with a place like this with the vast amounts of information here it's difficult for me to post what I feel is a nonsensical post. So by me just posting stuff that really has no merit it makes me feel as if I'm not contributing and that I think is a trigger for me. I am so very appreciative of you and all the admin that keep this place afloat i'm not sure you realize just how many people depend on you and what you are doing here. So thank you for the kind words and thank you for all you do here.

Noonehere, I and I know others agree with you.
Why reinvent the wheel when it has been proven effective?  My problem is insomnia and zolp@#m is my wheel. Doctors feel they have to shake things up every few years, basically imo to cover their own asses.   I've been very lucky with all of the support and resources I've received from this forum. Hopefully it will be just as helpful to you. There are some really good people here.

You are 100% correct! Why mess with people?!? I know the information I need is here it's just climbing the ladder to get to it is where I stumble. But thankfully there are good people here and I think the more I interact with everyone maybe it will be a bit smoother for me.

In our digital age, it's not surprising how people get so stressed and anxious from the internet or mobile phones.

When I can, I try to step outside of myself and look at the situation from the most basic of views: I'm an adult human reacting negatively to some words or pictures on a screen. My old cat used to do exactly the same thing to my tv or laptop (though obviously she couldn't read... I hope :| )

Anyway, we all get to decide how much meaning we place on this stuff. It's because we're all so deeply entwined with it in our daily lives that we take it so seriously, without even thinking. Generally, text and words can be interpreted in so many different ways that the author's meaning and what we read in our heads are completely different.

Take a step back and realise that we're all just cats pawing at screens

Hello Hamil. You sound like me. lol That is 90% of my day I stay outside of myself analyzing everything around me. I have to look at all of the pro's and con's of every action I make. My inability to properly communicate with others is one of my biggest hang ups. I do not have much education as far as schooling my disorder set in at an early age and unfortunately kept me from going to school. I think that is my biggest draw back I don't know how to communicate with typed words. Im not stupid at all I'm just a grammar nazi's favorite whiping post.
