I second that. Read the book then watch the movie. And if you can, go see it on Broadway.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I shall have to read it soon, then, since everyone I've talked with says that it's a good story! I got it on the recommendations of the people in my poetry class, actually. 
How is everyone this morning?
It's snowing and blowing here and looks rather icky, but we'll be going to uni (my dad and I, he's a prof) since there isn't loads of snow.... bleh.

Hi everyone! I'm glad things seem to be going well for you all!
Things are o.k with me. I'm just getting tired of living with physical pain every day of my life !!!! If it isn't my back then it my head and face/jaw!! I'm just so sick of it. I was telling hubby last night, that I can't even remember what it was like to not have pain every stinking day of my life....probably about 13 years now! I have back pain all the time (I just tune it out most of the time now, unless it's really bad)...and I mean all the time. I don't sleep well because of it and it keeps me from doing all the things I want to do because it hurts/burns so much! Plus headaches! They can be everyday too, sometimes. I've had jaw/face pain and a headache for a week now!! I'm getting sick of taking pain pills 
. They don't do much good anyways. I never had any success in my life with getting any help from doctors. They never seem to know what is wrong or what to do with me... so they do nothing and I continue to suffer. It's always the same old story. Life is so unfair sometimes . I just want to be a normal, healthy person and do what I want and get up in the morning and feel good! What does it feel like to say you feel good and really mean, GOOD...that nothing hurts or aches...can't even imagine it anymore! This sucks 
! Any wonder a person feels depressed or crappy!
Sorry to dump on you all...I'm just feeling kinda angry and sad about it all!

Mask, you can dump all you want. I'm sorry that you're in such pain all the time. I'm not good with pain and take a tablet as soon as it starts to get bad so I can't imagine what its like for you.
I hope you do get some relief. Have you tried physio or alternative treatments?

Mask, don't worry about dumping on us. It's totally okay. That's what we're here for. I do hope you're able to stop the pain somehow. I've heard great things about chiropractors, maybe you could make an appointment with one and see if it helps at all? Just a thought. Good luck, though, and God bless.
As for me, I'm feeling tense, annoyed, and generally unhappy. Ahh, the wonders of stress. The only thing that is currently working for me is to keep reminding myself that this will all be over (relatively) soon. "Only ___ more days" is my motto these days. It doesn't help that the weather around here is cloudy, rainy and just "blah" right now, either. But I'll stop my rant before you all become annoyed with me for complaining too much.
I hope everyone has a great day today!

I can't begin to know what your going thru. Only thing comes to mind is something Paul said. Hopefully it can be useful.Hi everyone! I'm glad things seem to be going well for you all!

Mask and Hannah, it's fine to dump. No one is going to get annoyed. This is a coffee shop, a place to share worries and concerns and joys and annoyances and good memories, over a cup of coffee or a mug of chai. So I hope that everyone will take good advantage of such a place!
Me... hm, I'm not sure how I am. I'm a bit worried about getting everything done today that I need to get done, and for being in a good mood tonight when I chat with my fiance. I'm tired of the greyness outside, although the snow helps lighten it up a bit, and I can't wait until uni is out. Rather, until this week is over. It's going to be so much nicer once I get all my papers done and handed in, and quizzes taken, and all that joyous fun college stuff.
And I really do wish that nights would get better. That is so frustrating... I'm on so many meds yet none of them has completely made the nighttime crappiness go away. GRRR!

Hello all! Today hasn't been very good for me as of yet...but there's always hope !! Woke up, still plagued with this stupid headache !! I had a miagraine last week and this lesser version hasn't left since. I have trouble with my jaw joints too so I know that is part of the problem. I'm gonna have to pull out my night brace thingy and start wearing it..yuck! It protects my teeth from grinding but it puts a lot of pressure on my front teeth and they end up sore, so I hate wearing it. It's like trading one evil or another 
. I tried the hot, moists cloths applied to your face today...helped a little. I slept another two and a half hours...it took the sharp pain away but not the tension pain.
TLB...As for my back, I did have a bit of physio when it first started but it didn't help much. I don't know what else to do. I am waiting to see my doctor (appointments are few and far between here!), in June, so I'm gonna bring up the back issues and see what she can do.
Hope you have an great chat with your fiance tonight Soulwings , teh heh!
On with the studying girls...you can do it

Aww Mask, I'm sorry that you don't feel great. My mum has migraines and honestly, I don't understand how you can function with them! I got one last April, because my psych took me off a very high dose of one of my meds immediately (as in, from 200mg to 0mg in a day... not a good idea), and that migraine lasted 12 days. It was horrible and I had to take an exam during that time - in chemistry. I hated chemistry as it was, so I obviously didn't feel up to studying, especially with the migraine. That was the first major test I have ever failed, and I hope that it is the last!!
Whew, what a day....... I'm writing the last part of my psych paper right now, and it's going okay (mostly because I am tanked up on caffeine - there is a quote somewhere that states how coffee gets the brain going and words flowing, but I forget who said it... I will have to find it! but my latte ♥♥ definitely helps!). After this, I will go and teach my only violin student (she's 11 and very adorable), and then off to karate. Which will be fun, since I enjoy punching and kicking and even doing drills and push-ups. The weather is still icky, although I think it's gotten better since I came into the library - earlier it was sleeting and very unpleasant... there's a freezing wind too, out of the northwest I think, and I hate that! It's just wet enough to bite.
I wish I could go swimming now. That would be nice. Or perhaps go to bed. I'm very, very tired!!

Hey April, its nice that your psych paper's almost done.
I've basically achieved what I had wanted to today. I practically finished what I had set out to do at work. I rushed through the last bit of coding so I'll probably have a few errors which is normal enough in programming so no worries. I've caught up with Formal Logic from last week and I should cover some of the textbook that I had wanted to do today so I'm not a whole day behind again.
It's already 11:15 so I also shouldn't stay up for too much longer, I have to be up at 6:20 for work.
I walked 5km today with people from a club. It went better then I thought but then I think I could have pushed myself a bit more. It was a bit awkward because I was with the slower group because all this walking is new to me but they were going slightly too slowly for me but the front group was probably going too fast and I would have been exhasuted if I had tried to keep up. My muscles were sore so it means I did have a good work out anyway.

Good morning everyone! How's everyone today?
I still have a headache!! It is getting better though. I wore the night brace to help my jaw. It did help a bit with the face pain but the headache still lingers. Oh well, I gotta keep going, what choice is there.
How's the studying going girls? Oh, yah, how was your phone conversation with the fiance April?
It's cold and windy here today..brrrr! I hate going out when it's like that but I have to drive Hubby to the service garage to pick up his truck.
Have a blessed day all!

Hi Mask,
sorry to hear you still have a headache, I hope it goes away soon.
I'm doing okay, not much to say really.
I could do with a very large mug of coffee right about now.

Oh, I'm glad it's getting better. I go through phases when I get frequent headaches and/or migraines (usually with frequent weather changes) and it just puts me out of commission. That you were able to go out and be productive is a good thing! Yay!

Mask, I'm glad that your headache went away! That's good to hear.... headaches are evil.The chat with Jarrod went well, thanks for asking! We did get into some really deep stuff though, about recovery and all, and that was a little touchy and uncomfortable, but we usually talk about that so it wasn't anything new.
I've just discovered there might be more to do on my psych paper than I originally thought. And it's due tomorrow...
I think I'm going to go eat supper, be creative and write a poem (which is also due tomorrow!!), and then get back to work on this paper.
How is everyone tonight?? ♥♥

Awww cold, I've been cold today too...
/me starts a small fire in the fireplace.
I think I am getting frustrated. I don't like it when my brain isn't working, and I hate having to force it to work, since that gets painful rather quickly. Oh well.
Maybe my fiance is right... maybe I do put too much emphasis on getting an A and "doing it perfectly the first time 'round." I have revisions on this paper, yet it must be as perfect as I can get it .......
And..... oh, I don't know!!
