Is anyones anxiety extra bad this week?

[Tammy]

Is yours fading? Last night was the first night mine wasn't as bad and the moon is waning

Yes............it has gotten better starting yesterday.

 

[SlamDancin]

Same here. I’ve needed a little less Etizolam the last couple days. I still don’t go a day without it and probably won’t until I am rid of ME

 

[YippeeKi YOW !!]

@Jyoti
Having spent the last three days or so in a state just verging on PEM and a mental condition just verging on vegetative, I'm super-extra-extremely-over-the-top senstive right now, and I've found the best way to deal with that is to address it directly.

Thanks so much for gifting us with such a great download.

Wow. To me 'download' means 'taken from another source and posted somewhere else'.

The only place my lengthy, and probably boring or at least possibly confusing, dissertation on the astro stuff whirling around right now came from was my years of fascination with astrology, generally, and my own fevered mind. Nothing was taken from another source.

There. Now I can let go of that. I hate it when I get this way, all sensitive and tetchy. Apologies.

 

[YippeeKi YOW !!]

Yes.............I've been feeling off for the last two weeks........more than usual. An underlying anxious feeling mixed with some depression. I always find it interesting when others are having those feeling too around the same time. A couple of friends here where I live are also having these feelings intensified.

See my post upthread (totally non-jargony and reader friendly, at least that's what I was trying for) about the astrological crap whirling around and through our psyches right now. Believe me, in the face of all that, our megrims are fully understandable.

Edited for a missing comma. You cant get much more OCD than that ....

Oh my word, @YippeeKi YOW !! That was the LAST thing I meant. In fact, it is probably my own limitation that created any confusion. And I am sorry!!!

What I meant was 'download from your amazingly prodigious and nimble mind.' It is uber clear that you have vast reservoirs of knowledge in this (and other) areas and the 'downloading' from you and your knowledge onto this site was a great gift. (See....I have to download from other sources, but I just call that 'cutting and pasting.)

So glad you mentioned it. I would not want you feeling that my gratitude and admiration for your abilities and insights were instead a snub!

 

[YippeeKi YOW !!]

So glad you mentioned it.

I'm actually embarrassed ..... it's just that long experience with my sensitive, tetchy phases has taught me to cough those feelngs up like a bad fur-ball.

What I meant was 'download from your amazingly prodigious and nimble mind.'

I can only think of one other apology as graceful and lovely as yours !!!

Also, I'm apparently more than normally susceptible to kind words when I'm like this, and thank you so much for yours !!!

I would not want you feeling that my gratitude and admiration for your abilities and insights were instead a snub!

I didn't really feel that way, being aware of how sensitive and tetchy I get when I'm like this. I posted more to get the damn fur-ball out ..... honest. I didn't think you were insulting or dissing me, I just needed to get that out of my psyche, where it would otherwise fester even after I'd totally forgotten it !!!

Edited, again for typos ....

I hate that you guys were effected too but it gives me a little relief knowing that it was in fact the moon. Damn moon

And my chinese herbalist keeps me alive...and he is not THERE.

If you do decide to move to lands afar....could you arrange for your Chinese Herbalist to mail you herbs you would regularly need? That might work...

 

[Wolfcub]

For two days, I've been visualizing changing...the Atomic particles that comprise SELF...in a Quantum way....

I have a new idea I'm deploying to make mental adjustments in my world view. New Resolutions!

I know....it is very hard to make quantum physics work in certain areas of living !

But the "water memory" thing....and that strangeness about how water responds with certain patterns when sent "Love" and when sent "hate"....is very peculiar and beautiful (I have forgotten the link. If my brain doesn't fail me, and I recall it, and where it was etc....I will slip it in here (if it isn't too off-topic)

Resolutions....I haven't got as far as those yet. Hope has to do.

I always think of the most inspirational, and creative inputs into our minds as being -indeed- "downloads"....from our True beings, beyond time and space. Or perhaps even from higher sources who have affiliation with us in Spirit. True creativity, or a bringing through of ineffable knowledge, or sometimes even something that might make us laugh, or dance with dogs and little kids (if our legs worked correctly).

That is exactly how it feels to me!

 

[YippeeKi YOW !!]

and that strangeness about how water responds with certain patterns when sent "Love" and when sent "hate"...

Sadly that was roundly debunked, even in spiritual and inspirational sources .... but I do believe that water, being the U niversal solvent, is also the Universal Absorber, so while it might not really respond to words, it will definitely respond to mental images when adding stuff to it, at least that's my belief. So when I add herbs to water, I stir them carefully clockwise while projecting mental images of what I want the herbs to accomplish in my body, and counter-clockwise while projecting what I want to herbs to remove, and so far, I ain't dead yet, and God knows, an awful lot of stuff has tried ...

That is exactly how it feels to me!

And it's a perfect description of what I tried to convey about my dream-state, or at least part of my dream-state. A sense of otherworldliness that goes beyond wha tmost dreams are like. I get those occasionally too, and I regard that as notification that " ....nothing earth-shaking is on the horizon, so no new learning or experiences currently required, stay tuned for further updates ....."

Deosil and widdershins!

Yeah, but most people understand 'Clockwise' and 'Counterclockwise' better, unless they're Celts or from the 16th century ....
