I was doing well through the earthquake,aftershocks,and hurricane threat. Now I'm depressed,and uneasy about alot of things.

This has happened all of my life,and no one ever knew what this was when I was a teenager. I feel sad,and feel like crashing emotionally.

I need to stay away from bad news on TV. Maybe a few science fiction movies will come on tonight,and help distract my mind from depressing,and emotionally gripping programs,and bad news.

I wish that I could sort of turn myself off for a little while when these emotions bombard me. BF

I hope that you find some show to distract yourself steve. I am sorry you suffer with anxiety so.
((((HUGS)))))

Dear Steve (((Hugs)))

Do some funny stuff... like, watching cartoons !! or read easy stuff like kitchen recipies... or something...

Try not to think much about bad news

And remember our Lord is protecting you... anddddd want you happy !

((( Steve )))

i hope you feel better soon.

i think this is a "slump" from all the hype. but even if it is a natural mood swing.
i agree definitely get away from the news because this is the worst of it... the damages etc.

scifi cartoons anything ... but fiction, and light stuff. let the kid inside you come out for a while, and just play. like CarGirl with her kitties.

i mean being in touch with reality is fine, but being pummeled by the media with all the negatives in reality is NOT.

hope you feel better soon

i am sorry Steve you are going through this. There was so much hype i am not sleeping and don't know how to come down from it. I guess time will be our friend. I am trying to read

I've been alternating between life with the Jetsons & life with the Flintstones. I'm on here 1ce in awhile, but I've delayed going around & picking up stuff, closing out offices & rooms, till next wk after the holiday. I'm just not ready. I'm terrific with my YouTube friends & you folks, but put me in the "real world" for an hour & I'm "a-boo-a-blub-blubby....coo-koo-coo-oo-y."

No. Not ready.

Hey, Wilma, put the kettle on, please! We may have some other friends joining us!

That cartoon, "Family guy" makes me laugh so hard... hahaha Just suggesting...

oh, and playing video games !!! I have my very old nintendo and it is sooooo helpful !

I stay away fron the news, newspaper and emotional shows...my doctor suggested it. I can't handle it, so i stay away from it...i do suggest spongebob! He is hilarious. I get made fun of by some people for nlot keeping up with current events, but i don't care. I never ever know anything about political stuff either....i have no idea what the vice presidents name is. Hee hee hee ! True!!!

Dear CBlue

nice to C you (been a while) ...

i am the same way with the news. emotional shows i can handle to some degree but that degree varies. mostly, if it's fiction, i can handle it... even if it's gory LOL. like all the vamp shows. the reality-like tear-jerker movies are actually harder on me.

anyway i know what you mean about (not) keeping up wiht current events and politics. doesn't interest me either. it is annoying that my parents sometimes watch the tv in this room, but lately they've been more sensitive to the fact that i'm a mess and can't deal, and go watch it in their room.

i don't think i've ever seen spongebob. i don't know if he's made it this side of the world but i'll keep my eyes open.

Steve.

how are you holding up?

i saw an ad for scooby doo cd's today. i can't afford to buy them but i remebered how much i used to love ol' scoob. they probably rerun it in the mornings at some time i will have to look for it.

i hope you are finding things to take your mind off your worries and are able to relax more. do you like to read? sometimes i find reading more relaxing. if my mind is not so flighty that i can follow the text. i was thinking like science fiction. there are tonnnnnnnnnnnnnns of star-trek novels out there... old series, new generation, ds9, hybrids, i've seen a bit of everything. some are so so but some are quite decent. they are independent stories from the tv series' story-lines, but they are generally consistent with character portrayals and are not in conflict with the "real" storylines.

of course there is lots of other good scifi out there. these are just, pretty short, and pretty light reading, so i thought i'd suggest it.

sending hugs and good thoughts.
