I'm feeling a lot better now. I've got 2 weeks off work and have one thing arranged each day up till Wed next week, so I'm not lonely.

I've made a couple of new friends who have been great. Some old friends who have been very supportive.

Feeling a lot less stressed and a lot less argumentative. I'm feeling more well which I think helps. I've had several head cold type viruses one after the other got months. It's amazing how that gets you don't.

Welcome back. It's great that you feel better now.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Me too!

Good to hear that you are on the mend.

I noticed the other day you were back and it's good to hear you are feeling better. Those flu viruses can induce a sort of depression that isn't the least bit fun, so it's nice that you are over those.

Glad you're back on board. You're always a nice person to have around.

Aaaand I've crashed again.

I'm sitting binge eating a tube of Pringles. Stoped my crying though. Paprika flavour.

Yikes! Paprika flavour. Won’t that add to the tears?! Now a nice cheese flavour is soothing.

Welcome back.

I'm really moody these days myself. Today I have a head cold and have been mostly "under the weather". I'm not one for binging, but I just binged on graham crackers. Is it the cold or is it the holiday change of routine and expectations? All of it.

Looking forward to the "weather" clearing up.

Cheer up hurtloam, I hope you can enjoy the rest of your time off! It's good to see you're back and have made some new friends. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Wishing you a new year free of head colds.

I feel like a certain person in my life is triggering panic attacks. It's not normal crying.

It feels pathetic because other people have been through worse things, but this person hurt me emotionally in the past and I completely fell apart at the time. It was months ago, but It's like my body doesn't know that's all over now. It's like it knows this person has hurt me and it goes into defensive over reaction mode.

Today's panic attack wasn't as bad as it has been. I'm maybe improving. But even though my brain has let go, my body hasn't yet.

I just want this to be over so I can get on with my life.

It's not pathetic that you have panic attacks, lots of people suffer from panic attacks. You don't want to get hurt again, that's a perfectly normal fear.

Glad you are feeling better. I had low immunity to colds and flu bugs till sometime in my 30s, and still managed to get real sick occasionally after that. I take immune boosting supplements now, and seldom get sick any more. One year, when I was in high school, my older sister brought home a series of colds or flu bugs. I managed to catch every single one she brought home. Her immunity has always been better than mine, so she never got as sick as I did back then. I spent almost the entire winter in misery. I was also feeling less than warm and fuzzy toward my Typhoid Mary sister. For those who've been victimized by the dumbing down methods of modern schools, Typhoid Mary was a real person. She was a cook who was a carrier of typhoid, which is a nasty, and sometimes fatal illness. One of the ways to spread this illness is thru food prepared by a carrier of the diseases who doesn't practice good hygiene around the foods they prepare. Mary didn't believe in washing her hands before preparing food, so she kept making people sick, and a few of them died. Mary was ordered not to cook for the public anymore, but she did anyway, and was in quarantine 2 or 3 times. The last time was for the rest of her life, to keep her from cooking for other people anymore. For more interesting details on her check out the Wikipedia link:

As for you, get plenty of rest, exercise, and healthy foods, to try to keep from getting sick again.--Now, if only I can follow my own advice.
