sigh . . . ? or scream . . . !!!

so today . . . i have no profound thoughts to share. or even mindless, random ones . . .

it's been a day of frustrations--nothing major, just a lot of little stuff. i hate that, because it makes me feel edgy all day. and since i tend to be non-confrontational, this means a day of just swallowing the words that crowd my mind, and trying not to compound things by telling everyone just what i think! that's why i have no thoughts to share--my brain has been so busy controlling my reactions that it hasn't had time to wander into territory that would make for interesting reading . . .

i've had several days like this lately, and it is bothering me. this is not the way i want to live my life, but it seems to be what's going on right now. maybe i am just ready for summer vacation--but that is still almost a month away! maybe i need therapy to learn how to deal with these frustrations more positively. maybe, like one of my friends, i just need pharmaceutical aid. i don't know.

all i know is, today i am glad for my dogs (who think i am the second best person on the planet,) and facebook farm town (which gives me the illusion of being in control--even though my animals are running wild!)

I hate days like that! I got that way thinking of all the things that needed to be done before the end of the school year. I truly didn't think I was going to accomplish all of it but I did! Hang in there Miller....I'm a believer in the pharmaceutical drugs! I believe they changed my life and the lives of all those around me for the better. There are still days when I feel I could triple the dosage to survive! =) You are just like me. No drugs or alcohol to calm the every day stresses! Chocolate only goes co far!! Love ya!

Hey Julie ... I have been off and on drug therapy since my daddy died in 1993. The on times for me have been the most even and enjoyable. I have tried three different kinds and they each have been effective in varying ways. My brain needs the seratonin boost to even out my body chemistry. It is certainly nothing to feel bad about ... I have to agree with Wendy ... they can be life changing.
