I started the Envelope system on the first of June. I have a few more days until payday and my envelope is full of receipts and has one lonely 20 in it. Being it was our first month of doing a modified envelope system(only $ for gas/groceries), I know we will have to adjust. Problem is...

The Steps I am doing to Take Care of Myself & Deal with Anxiety & My Depression I don't want to depend on chemical prescriptions because I did those before and it made me dependent on drugs. Besides, the side effects were not pretty. After I educate myself about the anxiety and its connection...

I'm looking for non-medicinal ways to help DS7 cope with his anxiety disorder, so I'm interested in therapies that can be done both at school and at home. I was wondering if anyone had anxiety troubles with their children around that age, and had any marvelous books to recommend to help cope...

OK, so we went all out and did a big 1st b-day bash at a catering hall for 45 or so family & family friends. This was only because we were in a 1 br apt. at the time. I made a promise that next year would be pizza and cupcakes. Background: we are now in a 3 br and itt will be 20 adults & 2...

So we've been faced with the decision to have DH commute every weekend to work, then come back... then we had to extend it to every other week. He'll be living with his parents up north and work for two weeks, then come home on the weekends that I need to get groceries and take care of other...

~My ds has developed anxiety over the last month and a half. We figured out the trigger(my in-laws)but not the why. He begs to stay home or go somewhere else(even if they come to our house), cries, gets feverish, works himself into a headache or stomachache, starts running to the bathroom and...

So, I admit, I have some mental issues. I can be quite a handful sometimes, and a bit dramatic. I always thought of myself just having anxiety/depression. Last year when I was in the mental hospital they told me that I may be bi-polar. I freaked out and thought they were not listening to me and...

This Friday the World Health Organization Confirmed 2500 cases of swine flu in 25 different countries and a total 25 deaths. It's no wonder stores say their supply of hand sanitizer is flying off the shelf. So if you're feeling anxious and worried about yourselves and family it's completely...

Most of you know that DS10 is autistic, amongst other disabilities. He's been having a lot of problems over the years with anger, outbursts and overstimulation. We put him on Risperidol about three years ago and while he has improved a lot, he's still having trouble with anxiety issues. If he...

Cultivating The Seed Within In our noisy world, we often find ourselves longing for peace and searching to find it somewhere else. While it’s true that there are places we can visit where we can experience peace, such as sacred sites or buildings, we do not need to wait until we get to one of...

Posting on the teardrop trailer board about how it would make me think of this, so...... Do you have any phobias? And if so, of what? I'll start. I have an unexplained insanely ridiculous fear of coyotes and wolves. If I see them on tv or movies, I have nightmares....it's so crazy. I have...

We sent in our first payment and paperwork tonight to get this DMP up and running. I should be happy but I am beside myself with what ifs. Well my dh told my brother what is going on bc my brother and his first ex-wife did a DMP also. My brother still owes me money on my mom's house so he...

Has anyone delt with this? She is about 2 years old. I'm not sure how many owners she's had. Ava has major seperation anxiety. If any of you have dealt with this what did you use? She's tore down my blinds, tore up two pillows, some clothes and now is moving to my dust ruffle. I have a large...

I think that my 5 year old daughter is suffering from some sort of anxiety. She is in constant worry of things and has these meltdowns. Does anyone have children suffering from this? I need to know how to deal and cope with it without blowing it up. Also, how would I know if this is true anxiety...

Hi everyone.... I haven't posted much lately because I've been really ~out of sorts~, with anxiety & panic attacks :nerv2: It's horrible! I know that anxiety affects a lot of us at one time or another, and I've had trouble since I was a teenager, actually, it runs in my family. I like my...

:toilet: Am I the only one who is simply a nervous anxious person by nature? I over think things till they keep me up at night. Just right now i am worrying over a ton of stuff. Any other worry warts? :nerv2:

I have been having some excessive anxiety linked to my job. I don't think the job is the entire cause of the anxiety, I just know it is adding to an already fragile situation. For those of you who struggle with this, who can I talk to about these issues? Do I talk to my doctor? Do I try to...

Have you ever felt anxious? You know what I am talking about, the bills need paid, but you have no money. Your child has a high fever and you sit with them hoping it will break soon. Your husband comes home from work with the news that he has just been laid off. Or how about the anxiety that...
