> I shouldnt really have posted in admin at all.me 2
A terrible trait of mine is getting embroiled in pointless arguments, often ones which have little to do with me. Having said that, even though LArry has not replied much to me directly, his remarks on the whole benefit this board a great deal and this board wouldnt be the same without his input. I'm also sure that one or two other valued posters like Ron might also vanish in sympathy, and so the decline would continue.
>yes a terrible trait <grin>, and yes, agree
> Another interesting note was how large the admin board is, and how its just full of arguments, and thinly veiled nastiness. I have little intention of ever looking at that board again as I see it as a "negative place".
yes it is..an upsetting place. I find social almost as bad at times. Funny how some people can be affected by it and others can't seem to sense anything wrong at all. I'm probably just oversensitive or something. ..much more prefer to call a spade a spade than to suffer the civil, as you put it "thinly veiled nastiness"

> Tryptophan....hmmm, pretty much given up on it for now in favour of alcohol. Yeah I know, no answers at the bottom of a beer bottle but its giving me a bit of a break from my symptoms whilst they are at their worst in these dark winter months. I'm also sleeping like a log! To be fair i've not drunk much for years, but i got bought some over christmas and have got into the habit of chilling out in front of the PC with a beer (or 8 LOL).<<now , why do you need to chill out over there in winter..just step outside?>>
yeah, agree about the alcohol.... effective but only for the short term unfortunately. If I find myself hitting it for too long, I go and read on an alcohol forum to help me stop <g>...but then I've always been able to stop
My youngest brother could never stop if he started drinking at any time..so he doesn't touch the stuff now.>
> I am taking Piracetam and Hydergine each morning on an empty stomach although I'm not sure they are having much of an effect. I feel sort of more confident in myself but also more edgy if that makes any sense. How can I explain it? Its like my fight of flight response is in a bit of a jittery state, I can be talking to someone and just feel like thumping them for no reason.
well I'm glad I'm talking to you on the net then! <g>..I've known people who are like that without any drugsThe only explanation I can come up with is the state of alert that a state of anxiety puts one into. Of course i've never thumped anyone, but the constant feeling is at best described as irritating and tiring.
yes, I think anxiety is a part of it.
I haven't tried either piracetam or hydergine so I'm afraid I'm not much help there.
I'm on SJW and tyrosine..as well as thyroid meds, and other hormones, vitamins, oils (like fish oil) etc.
Guess anxiety is my worse thing at present too...but I know, in me, it's partly a sign of low oestrogen. But I can't see that being your problem. <g>
The SJW works pretty effectively against the depression at present and helps keep me awake in the daytime too..but it doesn't seem to help much with the anxiety I think.>
> I hope you dont mind me posting this here by the way, I feel that disappearing off to have private conflabs all the while dont actually benefit the board, but if you'd prefer to talk privately then just say so and I will of course honour your wishes.I wasn't really suggesting going off to talk privately...just I have been thinking of leaving for a while now..and I was just trying to say goodbye (if I can just stop posting), and let folks know if there was anything they didn't understand about my posts etc..just to email me. (hey, but most were on female type topics). I've been wanting to answer a couple of your posts and I appreciated your post on admin..it echoed a bit some of my thoughts.
A least I've managed to cut back on my posts. I'm very uncomfortable posting here the way things are. It took me a while to realise this forum is very different as I'd always stayed on babble or alter for a while.

> Oh, if I recall you said you were UK based? Same here, I'm from Redditch.Well that's central. No, I have posted to a few folk from the UK so I understand the health care system over there ..I'm from Australia <g>. Hoping one day to visit over there.
