Thanks for the kind words fellas. Although I'm a bit disappointed because I expected Gabby Johnson to show up and he didn't.

darth ender, do you reckon keeping a diary might help? The rare times I do it, I find writing about myself to be liberating and a way to understand myself. Do you think there's some good in that?

 Team Frink said it perfectly.  You found your answer.  And there are numerous scientific studies that show those benefits.  This blog is obviously not a scientific study in itself, but this post listed many benefits and ideas.

Seriously, that's a good start.  But even if Neglify is serious, which I'm not sure, I really believe there is a great deal of good that comes from working with others to lift each other up.  We humans are not meant to be alone.  We thrive most working together rather than as loners.

Share your good news!

So I got a notification from my boss today.  I am getting $4.76/hr raise, which will retroactively pay me back starting from March 30.  I recently was promoted and got a $4.00/hr raise then, so over the course of a two short months, I am making $8.76/hr more than I was, which amounts to approximately $18,000/yr.  This has been a huge blessing for my family and I am so grateful to be able to provide like this.

My current job is RN on a psychiatric floor of a hospital.  There are numerous people who come to my floor extremely depressed, suicidal, feeling worthless, and ready to end it all.  Just because you post that here signals to me that you want help, you are in fact asking for it, but from people you know to be largely powerless to do it because of your low self worth.  You are worthwhile.  Every soul is worthwhile and has something good to give the world.  There are those who choose to act on evil, there are those who give up and withhold their good, and there are those who at times need the good of others to get through their hard spots, and one day are in a position to help others.  I have my own history with depression, but I've made it to a point of stability, and I am able to now help others.  I was just talking to one of my patients, and he feels very fortunate to have this unit and these staff members and get the help he needs.  He was suicidal but he says he is having a really good day and is ready to go forth a happier man.  Think of what the world would miss without him.  And I, once (2000-2001) a suicidal individual myself, was part of what helped this man realize his self worth and give him new perspective.

You don't necessarily need hospitalization.  But you do need help.  Please get it.  You are worth it.

 

As for my own griping, I've worked two 16+ hour days in a row.  I won't get off work till 11:30 pm and have to come back in on my day off at 6:00 am for mandatory training.  The time for each mandatory meeting changes each time to accommodate different shifts, so tomorrow it's super early, and it's my day off.  Yuck.  On the other hand, I have good news about work, but I'll put that elsewhere.

Indeed, and by this I mean no offense, but judging by the dependency it sounds you may have developed for other substances, I wonder how much they might be involved in your anxiety, headaches, etc.  However I don't want to lecture you.  You're a good guy, and I'm glad you have one less thing to take.  I hope you work through whatever discomfort you are feeling soon :)

Suggestion (Read: darth_ender will not do this): Make 2003 Clone Wars into two episodes that match the 2008 series

If someone could somehow dub Matt Lanter over Anakin, that would be cool. If that becomes possible to do one day, what's to stop us from editing his voice onto Anakin in RotS, too? 

His protrayal of Anakin is superior. To Hayden and his imitation voice in the 2003 series. 

 I agree, he was the best of the three.

While the actor in the microseries tried to imitate Christiansen's wooden acting, he actually created an even more wooden character.

You're right, that's a low dose and it sounds like you are not really in serious need of it.  You are off the K2 which was causing it.  Have you checked your BP since?  If it's not very high, I doubt that you coming off it would even be the cause of any chest tightness or lightheadedness.  I think you are better off without it.

That said, I agree, it is best to consult with a doctor before changing your meds.  But I suspect he/she would agree with me.
