Okay...i will probably become the least popular person on this site by saying this but I am going to say it anyway.How come...the thread which kicked off by stating that the real cause of pd ,was STRESS...managed to become the most bloody STRESSFUL place to hang out on this entire forum?
I am half smiling and half shaking my head in exasperation.
And no...I am not being unkind,sarcastic,critical or mean. I am simply stating...in my thankfully simple manner [cos if I had been smart I would have got caught up with the "said" thread for sure...and put my pennysworth in...and ended up with.....ho hum...STRESS.
as I was saying...all this indicates to me is that where there`s folk...there`s STRESS. It won`t ever go away unless we all mutate into identical,like minded,dull,boring sods who roam the planet in our same dull grey uniforms,say hello to each other in our same dull monotone voices...do the same dull monotonous jobs as each other,and pay for the same tasteless,colourless sandwich each day...with our same little pay packets...and go home to the same little box on the hill as Mr Same..and Mrs Same.
No passion,no aspirations,no inspiration,no expectation,NO STRESS

nope...as STRESSFUL,as Stress is,I would sooner live in this world of multi this and that...different strokes for different folks, vitallity,diversity and colour,and risk a little stress than rub shoulders day in day out with Mr and Mrs Same.But...as I said...a LITTLE stress...not a HEAP.
But...how about we share ideas about WICKED WAYS TO CHILL.
Share our own personal [well not too personal you hear...] wind down methods.The stuff which tames a wild beast in seconds...suggestions and success stories on WAYS TO CALM DOWN...TO SWITCH OFF...THAT WHICH MAKES YOU SOPORIFIC...
Someone made me think tonight,about the stress of high powered jobs,you know,managerial positions...It would be interesting to mark up what jobs we all do or did.
And if there are any experts who can fill folk in on how to manage stress.

I still hold firm by my own observations that much of it is how we folk are
made and how we tackle life as individuals. .And sorry,but no-one on this site,when presenting a theory about upbringing,childhood abuse...stressed parents [not being deflammatory about you...but am waiting for an answer]
no-one has ever responded to my puzzlement on how come i`m a twin...same birthday,same mum,same house,environment etc etc...
how come i have pd and my twin does not.
I`ll tell YOU why ?
Cos whilst I was prancing starkers around my bedroom at midnight,singing and dancing [we ARE talking age 5 or 6 here..no i didn`t do this in my late teens] acting out shakespeare,creating odes to whoever ..SHE was sound asleep,sucking her thumb,happy as larry in NoddyLand .And no amount of accidently falling on her head [cos I needed her view] would wake her.
ME..a 24 hour live wire...had to get it all in,like YESTERDAY...with a brain that didn`t stop to rest.
HER...a contented...come day go day ... could block out the nasties and unpleasantries by sleeping on it..kind of girl,who to this very day...can let stuff go and has the art of saying NO to folk,down to a tee?tea? T? see what I mean? I always had to GET IT RIGHT.

SO THIS IS THE "SOD IT " THREAD.

My Stressbuster "SOD IT" is a walk,with my SOD IT Sister...and my two dogs through SOD IT WOOD.

What`s your `s?

An d if no-one replies I`ll SOD OFF !!!
