Bayhorselady, Thank you..I am doing better today.  And yes, prayer does help.

Melissa.

Why were  you sad?

Hi Melissa, I don't know where your head is concerning prayer, but I can tell you that it does work to ask God for help, especially when dealing with life's stressors.  These are critical times hard to deal with and we all need help getting by.  I certainly don't want to preach to you or anyone here.  It's just a suggestion, he's there and he wants to help us if we just ask for it.  This is one of my favorite Scriptures, especially when I'm feeling stress, and I have it too. Philippians 5:6 Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.

Hoe you're doing better!

Thanks Breee, I really appreciate sharing your experiences.  I am more calmed down today but am taking it very easy--more than i usually do.  I am just letting myself sleep so much, which is probably the best for now.  Thanks again for writing.

I hope you're feeling better today and you are well rested now. When I'm angry, sometimes dancing and singing to very loud music helps me get over it and forget about it for a while. If I'm too upset to dance, I'll exercise to loud music to burn off the adrenaline. I'm not trying to give you tips or suggestions, I just wanted to share a few of my experiences with you while reading about your experiences.

Ali, that was nice what you said about 1turkey1.  She is very generous.  You're right, the voices can't do anything to me--but it is not that I am afraid of them.  They stress me out because years ago when the voices started this is how it happened, little by little.  If you knew what I went through I think it might stress you out also.  I've had an extremely hard 6 years of time from 2003-2009 or so, where the voices were "bad" and  "good".  During that time  I don't remember much, except certain things at random.  I can't physically and mentally handle ANY type of what happened agaiin.  So when I hear things and see things that arent there I tend to get nervous.

Hey Spry,

The one thing I do love to do is be on the computer doing whatever ie email, this Board, other Boards, etc no matter what my mood.  I can do it without directly dealing with people in front of me when that is a problem.  Thanks for the encouragement.  Am doing ok today, not myself completely, but better than yesterday.

Melissa.
