right now I am still overwhelmed so I am having a hard time reading. I am so anxious. I worry a lot about money and have been using my savings because I don't get that much money in ss. I got out of the stock money and it keeps on going up. It became too stressful.
I will do what you suggest and unplug the air conditioner and then turn it on in 15 minues. I had looked up acid reflex before and don't think I have it. Thanks about the stomach cancer. I always tend to think the worse

I'm sorry you are so anxious (((HUGS)))

I tend to think the worst because of my anxiety sometimes, too. It's called catastrophic thinking. The way I deal with it is to get as much information as possible... in some situations, that information just doesn't exist, so it can be hard

Even if you don't have acid reflux, you could have some other benign condition that can be easily treated by the gastro

I got scared of stomach cancer because a have pernicious anemia and slightly anemic. I am sorry you have catastrophic thinking too. It is a killer. I do the same thing and spend so much time seeking information. I spent so much time looking for herbal tea and their side effects for my conditions. I haven't gotten the dandelion tea yet which I ordered. It supposedly a great diuretic and might help to lower cholesterol.

Bobby ~ I have been reading "Full Catastrophic Living" by Joh Kabat-Zinn. It's been helpful for me.

Also, I practice DBT (Dialectal Behavior Therapy) which is a form of Mindfulness (living in the present moment and not judging your thoughts and feelings). It takes alot of practice. When I am in emotion mind, it's very hard to redirect my thinking or break the emotion. Emotions love emotions and they tend to build upon each other until you are in full catastrophic thinking (which I am in most of the time).

There are various grounding tools that I use that distract my catastrophic thinking and are helpful in getting out of that level of thinking.

for years and years I have used an expression Where ever you go, there you are. I have bipolar II, ptsd from being in an explosion and badly burnt with no scars and generalized anxiety disorder. I always tend to think the worse. I talk to God a lot and thank him for everything, even my bipolar. I used to be a psychologist and worked with children and their parents. Self help books never helped me. Thanking God for everything does help me when I remember to do it. I also was a computer programmer.

It's just that trying to drink 1/2 one's body weight in water is not healthy, and probably not possible, and Bobby said she was going to try it, so I felt I needed to say something.

I'm sorry that you felt put out by my comment (((HUGS)))

I do have a habit of contradicting people if I disagree with something, and I hope that you don't take it personally.
Oh NO !!! ((( hugs ))), I do not feel put out by your comment at all.

We are here to help each other and support each other. I never felt put out by our comment at all, please understand this. I appreciate everything I read that you post here and I certainly respect your position on this.

I am new here and just getting to know all of you and know where the boundaries are needed. I'll try not to make suggestions like this going forward and I am soo relieved you stood up to prevent Bobby for doing something that you felt would harm her.

Contradict away, please, that is what this forum is all about. It's about bouncing ideas off each other. No harm down with me. I hope you know this. Soo many misunderstandings happen with the black and white written word, where we cannot hear empathy and fluctuations in voice.

I hope you are okay and I'm very sorry.

I'm glad the super will be back tomorrow. And this bothers me
that the air conditioner seems to be defective.
