Something sure is going on, and it bodes no good for me.

Have tried all ways I could think of to feel better this morning, but still feel very sick to my stomach and a killer headache and the most depressed I've felt in a long time. Do'nt know how the hell to ride this one out without throwing up.

This is not the chemical imbalance depression that's helped by zoloft, this is purely situational and looking worse each minute. It's only 50 degrees here and really cold in my house, but am afraid to turn the furnace on as I still haven't paid off my bill from last winter. So am dressed warmly as I can be and still able to move my arms and legs, but my fingers are still like ice.

I would like nothing better than to cry it out and get the relief that tears can give, but just can't cry. The tears are dammed up inside me and won't come out. I'm smoking like a chimney and pacing the house. Just took the dogs for a long walk and felt the whole time like I was about to be sick.

Right now this is beyond my ability to handle. Do'nt know what the hell to do, but stay glued to my only support system. I forgot all about my home group meeting this morning, and I really wanted to go. But am not thinking clearly at all and not really wanting to put myself out in "polite society" as I feel like a beaten dog.

Don't know what to do or not do, just in limbo and feel like I'm hanging by a thread - literally. Pray for me please. I am so lost and alone.

I agree that there's something in the air this week too.

Dee- Thanks for the videos. I love them!!

No whine for me today. I'm finally feeling a lot better. I hope the rest of you feel better soon.

It just keeps getting worse. Now college kid's cat is really sick and had to be rushed to the vet. My parents are helping with the bill, which will be big, as I asked them to make the check directly to the vet and not to me. I am falling off a cliff here and just keep on feeling worse. My head aches so that I'm about to be sick and I can't do anything useful to anyone. I must have done some very bad things is a previous life to get slammed like this, just when things were starting to look up. Now everything's in the toilet. I have no strength in reserve as I'd used up the last of it just getting this far.

I'm keeping up with you all in the whine department lately. That's not a good thing. I feel worse today and I think it was from the lack of sleep last night. Trying to decide if I call in (ugh) or just drag myself in there late. My chest feels like severals and bags have been laid on it. Waa!!

Trish & Jules. Amen on people being in pissy moods or having high expectations. A good friend of my on here "called me on my BS" last night and I just don't feel like I deserved it. I'm not feeling well and doing the best I can right now. I'm not drinking. Who knows what is going on behind these computer screens. I try not to take things personally. You never know what hardships others are going through to make these misunderstandings happen.

((HUGS)) back Ananda, Least & Horselover and all the other whiners. Don't worry Jules & Trish...I can tell you are not in the mood for hugs - go trip a small child, that may bring a gleam to the eye (disclaimer since everyone is sensitive lately: just teasing, trying to make us laugh).

Boston...

Sorry someone made you feel worse. I know I felt that way when I missed

some meetings due to my mom's SW coming on Monday nights. My home

group. Then I was sick. Some old timers grilled me...not nice at all!

Sponsor said.."Did you stay sober this week?" "Yes." "Then, you did

good!"

You are doing good, Boston... :

I think you're mistaken, RZ...feels more like an epidemic of Craponusitis!!!

OK...fellow Whiners...my daughter convinced me to call her tomorrow night and let her know if I'm "feeling better" enough to have company on Saturday; and, that's what I'm going to do. I'm determined to shake off this feeling, even if I have to "act as if"!!!

Maybe Palin will give us a few well-needed laughs tonight. In the meantime...

Pregnant Blonde


The other day my neighbor, who is blonde, came running up to me in the driveway just jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping for joy. I thought, what the heck, and I started jumping up and down along with her.

She said, 'I have some really great news!'

I said, 'Great. Tell me why you're so happy'

She stopped jumping and breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, told me that she was pregnant!

I knew that she had been trying for a while so I told her, 'That's great! I couldn't be happier for you!'

Then she said, 'There's more.'

I asked, 'What do you mean 'more'?'

She said, 'Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have twins!'

Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant she was having twins, I asked her how she knew. She said...

'That was the easy part. I went to Wal-Mart and they actually had a home pregnancy kit in a twin-pack. Both tests came out positive!
