1. Thanks, steve.

I'm pretty ok, maybe 8/9, but my daughter isn't doing well at all, and thinking of her (and trying to 'help') pulls me down.

3. Thanks Steve - normally I am around an 8 but now

I am at weird 3/4, this weekend I really got hit hard by a feeling of dread - like all the depression symptoms hit me all at once full force (sleeplessness, not enjoying favorite activities or mmmm food, irritable, slightly paranoid, constant worrying and just a feeling of ick). I can't shake it and I don't know what is causing it (no change in medications, no major life stressors)

Now I can't sleep (worry/dread) and I am pretty sure my lack of sleep is making all the above symptoms worse. I keep thinking that if I could just sleep for more than 45 min at a time I would feel better.

I have never felt this way for so long before - I am usually pretty good at getting out of a funk with music, playing with my dogs, or watching something funny.

Hope everyone is doing wel

5. I'm doing pretty well, and thanks for asking, Steve!

I'm feeling quite validated these days on forums outside DU and that really helps.

I hate to even guess what they are.

7. I'm uncertain, to the point of not getting much done.

Crashing and burning, complete with hallucinations and hospitalization, does little for one's self-confidence.

I've got a regular psychiatrist, and new meds that seem to be working. They make me dizzy sometimes. That side effect is supposed to away in time.

But, as usual, I'm a terrible judge of my own mental state.

I feel like I've got a lifetime's experience faking it, and I do, up until the point I go over the falls.

You are a batshit crazy idiot.

There's some primitives who didn't check in, and one's worried to bits about them.

thunderthighs for one example, out of many.

And Big Mo's been around on Skins's island, but only in other forums; she seems reluctant to use her gifts where they're most needed, in the mental health forum.

My guess is that Fizzy has gone the route of Torchy and is found mostly in the back rooms of the local gin mills giving BJs for weed and beer.

I dunno; there's no reason for her to quit hanging around Skins's island though.

She's a fascinating study because she's one of those women who's "got" to "have" a man to fulfill her, to make her complete.  Even if a guy's a total loser and takes more than what he gives, well.....at least he's a man.

Women like that drive me nuts.

It's true man was made to be with woman, and woman with man, and happily that's usually the way it works out.  But there are naturally-occurring anomalies, exceptions, and if one's one of those, best to simply accept, adapt, and move on.

Torchy's still looking for a dentist who'll work on barter, to pull her teeth so she can charge $10 instead of $5.

Fizzy though is one of those women that for 14 days of the month is as nice as can be but then the hormones hit her disjointed mind and she becomes an irrational loon that can be impossible to deal with.

PMDD is the alphabet name of the disorder and compound that with the normal level of unhinged lunacy among leftists and one just has to shudder.

She knows she needs a man to steady her but then she spends half the month literally trying to drive him away.

Imagine the Hell Big Mo's husband went through, or the Hell a husband of Jugs would go through.

I could never sympathize much with this "time of the month" thing; after all, men go through sort of the same thing, cyclical patterns of feeling irritated and uncomfortable, but we get scant, if any, sympathy from women.

Fortitude alas seems to be a virtue almost extinct among "modern" femmes.

Just went through it and got away after a few months of the insanity.
Dealing with complete irrationality that the person believes 100% to be true is draining beyond belief.

That's why you need to look for women in the sweet spot between menopause and cat sweaters.

Pre-menstrual demonic disorder.

That can pretty well some it up for half a month.

Don't they make dating apps now where you can just swipe left (or something, maybe right) if you're lonely? Can't Stevie Numbers even afford a free Obama phone?

Which we might conclude that perhaps it was Mr. fizzy that cast the relationship asunder, not her.
