Apollymy, Cymbeline, Glimfeather, Pike, Armando, Boxy, and Leah Thank you for your concern. I went to see my doctor this morning, he scolded me for not eating in a few days and sleeping maybe 6 hours in the last 3 days. He’s also looking for a counselor who will work with my lack of insurance and money. Lets hope he can put me back together again.
I’m glad to hear you’re getting help. It makes me feel much better. Some problems should not be faced alone. Your doctor sounds like he has a handle on things. Hope you are feeling better soon.
That’s exactly what happened.
Not sure what speed they would have needed to clear the parked cars, though. From the looks of things there was already quite a bit of speed involved!
Needless to say the driver’s face was very very red.
Well, that makes perfect sense. I took The GF to the ER a few weeks ago because she thought she was having a heart attack. Turned out to be the same problem.
One thing to add: multivitamins are your friend. Try to get the “food-based” ones from a hippie…er health food store. Your body will know the difference.
Thanks Doc gave similar advice not about the hippies thought.
I would have given anything to hear him say “multivitamins are your friend.” he kinda reminds me of a younger Doc Cottle who dosent chain smoke.
Food is your friend. I thought that could be your problem. My brother stops eating when stressed . So listen to your doctor. Multivitamins may be your friend but food is still needed. Glad you went to a doctor. Now go get some dinner. 
Is hippieer a word? Natural is what I think you were looking for. Hippie pills could get you arrested. I know bad joke.
I cant believe I actually forgot to eat for almost two days. I really am stressed out. It also dosent help that my coffee intake has tripled from the lack of sleep. Gotta love insomnia.
Just avoid the brown ones. You’ll be fine.
Let me third and quadruple this. I’ve struggled with situation depression for a few years but never found myself in quite the situation you describe, HL. That would freak me right the hell out (as it seems to have done to you). Get thee to a psychiatrist. If nothing else, I know from experience it helps to have a friendly AND professional ear available.
If you start seeing a blonde woman in a red dress telling you’re the instrument of God, though, you’re on your own. Enjoy!
(Just trying to cheer you up there, buddy.)
First – the health issues I spoke of last time are responding to treatment. Not out of the woods yet, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. (I love mixed metaphors, don’t you?)
That is great to hear, Cymbelline. Really, really terrific.
Hang in there, man. The lack of money is a real drag, I know. I hope your doctor is successful in finding a counselor that will be able and willing to work with you on a pro-bono or at least dirt cheap basis.
Funny thing: I have the EXACT OPPOSITE problem. When I get stressed, I overeat. Fun thing for a diabetic to do too!
Her name is Matilda; she’s from Wichita Falls. She has a part time job as a Waitress at the international house of pancakes. She says its gods plan that I train to become a greatest ninja/pirate in the world; and take back the Asian shipping lanes. with a ninjas stealth and a pirates style.
Ew and gross, I found a bug inside our Brita filter. Super yuck.
No Blonde in red for me. Just a wonderful middle aged brunette waitress named Tiffany, whom I went back to today to thank and apologize to. I may be an istrument of God, don’t know yet will have to wait and see.
Did you go to Howie? He does kinda remind me of Cottle, now that you mention it!
And as for Multivit’s, try Vitamin World (there’s one in Eastwood Mall). They have great sales and a great selection.
SO glad to hear that!
Yeah went to see Howie. Today seems a little better though. One day at a time. Time heals all wounds and all that other craaaap.
I also over eat when stressed. Basically I do not give a frak about myself and go for chocolate, pasta, and in larger quantities than I should. Two times in my life I have strangely gained 25 pounds then for some reason lost them. Since I am only 5 foot 3 inches that is way over my healthy weight.
I gained the same time my brother lost all the weight and now that i am loosing he is gaining. Strange way the mind and body works.
