There's the
Social Chat forum, but...
...I'm
with this.
FWIW, IME sharing personal/social stuff in support settings works a lot better than sharing painee stuff in real world social settings. I could write a monograph about that (Yes, I was a writer of sorts "
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."), but others probably already have.

Our whole life is punctuated by movie & television quotes, and song lyrics. Some have been with us for so long that despite frequent repetition we can no longer remember the source!

I cry almost every single day and not because I'm sad. I get those tears of joy from watching, of all things, SportsCenter(my lifelong dream has been to grab a spot on their top 10 plays.

Sorry to bring this back to on-topic stuff (only temporarily, I promise!), but that could be
hormonal (and I don't mean that in the usual sense). I got the same way for a while, blubbering at the drop of a hat at old movies or just about anything else. I learned that chronic pain and some of its medications can unbalance hormones in painees (both men & women), creating even more problems for us. After researching and huddling (football reference just for you!
) with my doctors, I embarked upon a chronic pain hormone replacement therapy regimen, and the results have been very much worthwile.

Who didn't love college right? The good ol days of damn near zero responsibility and partying at least 4 days a week. I worked as a lifeguard and went to class and lived a funtastic life! Time sure does go by fast.

Ah, that explains it! "
There's a time and place for everything, and it's called college." Often attributed to Chef/South Park, it's likely much older. Nevertheless, it works—as many quotes do—on a number of levels, for a lot of things.

Though I live with my parents now bc of my pain, I hope to get back to Dallas where I had spent the last 5 yrs of my life. I work as a dr assistant and love it. Can't wait to get back.
