Thank you again, Candid. I am eating this stuff up, I tell ya. My daughter's cancer is "the best" kind you can get - papillary thyroid cancer . She is waiting to hear if she'll need radiation... they're testing to make sure they got all the thyroid out. If so, she won't need it. Keeping my...

Thinking of you, Scott. Please respond.

I hate seeing a post unanswered and I'm no expert... but I want you to know you're not alone. I don't think you are neurotic... I think you have anxiety. I have it, too... and mine is health anxiety, like yours. And yes, this anxiety can cause the very symptoms you're trying to avoid. I know, it hap...

I believe that language is very important... and powerful. I understand that the ultimate responsibility lies with the person who hears and takes in unkind words but I don't let the person who uses language to abuse off the hook. I strive to live a life that doesn't harm others and that includes the...

I will apologize in advance because I have some pretty strong feelings about this. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. You're not married, nor do you have children... and good thing! Cut your losses, take care of yourself and one day, you'll hopefully find a man who is worthy of your ...

Terry94, I'm old, probably older than your parents... and it took me many years to learn that what my parents believe and how they act is not who *I* am. There will come a time when you're out on your own and will make a decision about how to move forward with them in your life... or to separate you...

Since you're asking, you are doubtful. Since you're doubtful, don't do it.

as far as whether it's "appropriate" and what we "think"...it's not our call, it's yours. You know how you've raised your boys to believe about women and bodies. Their age will factor in as well.

If you're still around... You know, I tried to help you and gave you an excellent book idea, which you brushed aside because it wasn't exactly what you wanted yo hear. That's fine but you don't have to be rude about it. One way to move forward is to help others. There's a thread here called Am I Tra...

I have used several. Ciprolex seems to work best but it's the one I like the side effects of the least. It addresses both depression and anxiety.

Here's the thing, dp2014, I'm so sorry you're struggling and understand it very well. In my experience, until you get the meds or therapy going... you *won't* stop worrying. You are expecting to be able to control it by sheer will. Again, I understand it. I have been on and off my meds for years. YE...

Thanks for including that, Richard!

Lone, I hope you'll check it out. It's really good!

I started reading Will I Ever Be Good Enough... ugh... I was going to tell you that I read both Bradshaw books for college, too (years ago). It's funny how I can push aside what is so obviously helpful to me... and I can now see that it was full-on denial. I did the same with my ex-husband, who was ...

Hi dp2014... I'm new around here, too, but not new to obsessive thinking. I will say that the meds helped me not to obsess *as much* but didn't take away the over-thinking aspect of my personality. Obviously, I don't know if your issue truly stems from what happened in the past but the point is that...

lonesoulxx, I don't pretend to understand transgender issues... at least not from an inside-the-body way. I get sometimes feelings that my body betrays me because I have a few health and emotional issues that sometimes feel impossible to overcome or "fix". I like what Richard has suggested...

I was on antidepressants for over a year with no victory over depression so I lost hope in medical science to help me battle what can only be describe as a blankness, empty and void feeling. I think you were on the wrong antidepressants or at least the wrong dosage. Did you speak to your doctor abo...
