DO NOT BE ALARMED. WE ONLY SEEK A PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE.

Peaceful... like an after-dinner nap?

I am now totally geared to erupt hugely over some tiny little thing, since I held it in over a bunch of big stuff.

Quick, someone snigger from behind me so I can quit the boards forever again and get it out of my system.

I have a cold. I haven't slept in two nights and three days. Compounding this, the oak trees in my area that I'm deathly allergic to chose the day I caught the cold to start coating the world in pollen, which means x4 congestion, sneezing and terrible sinus pain. I stayed home from school today because I'm starting to lose coordination thanks to sleep depravation, and I didn't feel it was safe for me to be driving.

...okay, fuck it. Banned from posting for a week. Someone point her at my form post if she needs clarification.

My anxiety disorder started flaring up last week, and it's got me practically incapacitated. I can't go an hour without waves of anxiety so strong I can barely think. It's pretty god damn agonizing. Here's hoping it stabilizes soon, but until then, every day is a shit day.

step 1: quit the caffeine for a while
step 2: take it easy!

Anxiety? Don't you also get recurring migraines? Gah, that does not sound like a pleasant combination. My migraines have been flaring up again, requiring me to lay down in a cool, totally dark, soundless room. Seriously, not even the hum of a ceiling fan or it will simply aggravate the pulsing in my head. Nothing like going to bed at 7pm and waking up at 5am still somewhat tired.

Sorry to hear it Bal. I can sympathize.

On a shit days, topic, my dog Bear is having a real, real bad day. He has the runs. And it just never ends. He's been out repeatedly, and he just feels so sick and it makes me sad for him.

Bal · « **Reply #290 on:** May 14, 2009, 01:36:06 PM »

Thanks. I have a lot of brain problems, anxiety being one of the more severe. A topic for another thread, but suffice it to say I am beyond miserable.

My gums won't stop bleeding and I think they're receding a bit now. I don't know what other chemicals I can use. My parents drove me totally insane about teeth when I was a kid and any kind of problem with them makes me stressed to the point of grinding teeth and the story begins anew.

For gum care, it's really all about flossing, and brushing away from your gums to keep plaque from building up in the gum line. You can also use a soft, moistened tooth pick to rub along your gum line--it'll be a bloody mess, but once you're doing it regularly your gums will have toughened up and the regular cleaning process keeps 'em healthy.

The best thing you can do for your teeth is stay away from dentists

Word. Half the holes in my teeth were put there.

This one I'm posting for a friend's beyond belief horrible weekend.

The Long Island members will have heard this already, and I'm really not sure how far the news has traveled. He was driving through Long Beach on Friday when a man in a Porsche cut him off and approached his car, telling him to exit it. Trying to escape the man, he ran him over, killing him. The whole thing seemed kind of unreal at first but now with his court date tomorrow I've been thinking about nothing but it.

I'm leaving out details because everything I've heard I've heard second-hand, and no one has talked to him since the incident, so there's really no reason to assume anything I think I know about the events is factual. For specific information on it, these were the best articles to display the two obvious sides that the media is already trying to spin on it.

I feel like a bit of a dick calling him a friend considering all the people that have been clamoring about it. Especially having spent the weekend and today with people that have been much closer to him than me. What I can say in my personal opinion, bias though it may be, is that he was one of the nicest people I had ever met, exemplified by the fact that he tended to be befriended by some real dirtbags. What is true or isn't will be decided tomorrow, and I can spend a lot of time, and already have, bad mouthing the victim's intentions, or defending Evan, but I can't imagine this being any more than a horrible accident, and can't possibly imagine what the last few days have been like for him.

Zara, it may be a vitamin thing. Check you're getting all the relevant vitamins.

So, okay. Monday morning I wake up with a horrible sore throat and am fairly confident I have a fever, as I've spent all night waking up alternately freezing and burning. I rifle through my medical supplies and can't find a thermometer; luckily I catch my roommate on her way out and she gets one for me. Sure enough, I'm at 100.1; I shoot my boss an E-Mail saying I won't be in today. (It bears noting that I'm a temp and haven't worked long enough to get sick days, so when I miss a day I miss a day's pay.)

I go to the doctor. They tell me they're having trouble processing my credit card; I give them another one. (I later discover that both cards have been billed, and that they can't fix it over the phone so I'm going to have to go back in.)

The doc says my cough symptoms (I've had a cough for about three months) suggest walking pneumonia, but that he's going to treat the more recent sore throat problem first and see if I still have a cough afterward. Strep test is negative, but he says the test is only 60% accurate and the giant white sores on my tonsils certainly LOOK like, in his words, "a raging strep infection", so he makes the call.

I also get some blood tests done (unrelated, but since I'm already in the doctor's office I figure I may as well kill two birds with one stone). The first needle is defective, so I get BOTH arms jabbed.

Around 9:30 or 10 at night, a thunderstorm knocks out our power. I brush my teeth by candlelight and get ready for bed. As I'm putting things away I drop something under my bed. I get down on my hands and knees to look for it and my palm goes straight down on an upraised thumbtack.

So, okay. No AC, no fans, and I have a fever. I open the window, but it's gotta be over 80 degrees outside and the wind's blowing so hard I get a spray of sideways rain in the face.

So I think we can file that one under "BEST DAY EVER".
