((Trach))
I am not serene either. Besides all this situation with banks, I've piled more on myself and decided to look for some gigs to earn extra money. A guy who is really good in copy writing hires a person to write for him. I've decided to try and now I need to write a piece of something to apply. Deadline is today till midnight. I've been freaking out for two days and feel paralyzed.
I am just p***off with myself. Why do I worry so much? The worst thing is he would think my work is garbage and he will forget about it soon. The real failure is of I don't even try. Why then I feel this panic? It cripples so many things in my life.
Sorry for the rant. I am just tired of being my own worst enemy.

Trach, you are such a delight to so many people--certainly to us! Please don't feel bad--you'll get it eventually.
MB, just start scribbling something--anything. After a few attempts that you have to throw away, you'll get on a roll and then it will flow! Writing is a big strength for you.
Harness the power!

Thank you, Gilmer.
I've already put 3,000 words in, made an outline and structure. I just can't bring myself to edit and put into a legit cohesive piece.

MB your writing on this thread, in what is not your first language tells me you can do this well. Just do it
Trach, I am sure you will get through this, as MesaMan used to say - nothing sucks forever
Jen, now that you mention it I see the similarity with Edward Hopper although I don't stay up late enough to get the full early hours effect. This pic of the outside has the same feel (again it is not my pic)

Thank you, Sao.
Unfortunately I've gave up.
I am extremely disappointed. I honestly didn't see it coming. I tend to freak out till the last moment, and still always do the job. And do it well.
This time I psyched myself up to the extent of complete emotional burnout. I just collapsed.
It's a shame. I've just robbed myself out of opportunity.
The best I can do now is to learn a lesson.
I think I'd better go to bed.
Feel like an idiot though.
Have a great day, weekenders)

Trach, I'm sorry you're having a rough time 
The only thing that scares me more than Spam is the gel that surrounds it.
Julia, things do get better, a whole lot better!
Great to see the newcomers here
I had a dream the other night that scared me beyond belief. One of those that you wake up and are so relieved that you cry.
I have no license right now. I had this dream that I needed something at the corner store and had a limited amount of time to get it so I didn't have time to walk. So, I took a breath and decided to chance it and drove to the store. For some reason there was snow on the ground. I was being extremely careful and the car in front of me stopped short. I had left tons of space between me and the car but, after all, this is a dream. so I kept sliding and couldn't get my brakes to work properly. Of course. I hit the back end of the car. Not really hard but enough so cops were going to have to be involved. I got out and made sure everyone was ok. Then, I ran. I panicked. How I ended up at our local huge hospital is beyond me but I was running through hallways and hiding. I knew the cops were looking for me and all I could think of was all the hard work and time and effort I've put in for my upcoming court case all being negated and wiped out just because I needed something at the corner store. I was devastated and so scared. Well, I opened my eyes and realized I was in my bed and it had been a dream. I cried with relief. Suffice it to say I don't care how long I have to get something, I will walk or go without!
My arraignment is coming up the end of this month and then there will be a pretrial discussion sometime in December according to my lawyer. I am eligible for my provisional license December 8th. That day can't come fast enough. What really can't come fast enough is having this all behind me!
Today makes 5 months sober for me. Five months of goodness, looking forward to much, much more.

MidnightBlue you are absolutely not an idiot, this was the first time you have taken this task on so you cannot count it as a failure, just a bump in the road
Nasty dream LadyBlue - probably anxiety. Best wishes with the court case

Thank you Gilmer,
Hey, do you have Netflix and an Iphone or something that you can watch while you're on the treadmill? My rule of thumb is I reserve a show and I can only watch while I'm running or on my stationary bike. I've done movies this way and had to stop because I couldn't take it any longer. Then, I couldn't wait to get moving the next day so I could continue watching.
I know how sometimes it's a push to get moving. That takes the need to push away for me.

Morning guys.
Have we got anyone here who's good with technology?
My new phone is a Samsung j5 2016 and although the app works I don't have a reply Button.
I have to go to quote.... delete the quote and then type.
Just hoping that somebody could tell me where I'm going wrong.
Hope everyone is doing ok. Hugs to all.

petals, I did an exhaustive google search every way I could and couldn't come up with anything 
It appears that people were having the same problem with Facebook and the question was never answered.
I hope you find an answer. If all else fails call support and they may be able to help you.

Hi Petals
apparently the SR owners stopped updating the app because it's felt the mobile version of the site works well?
it might be that your phone's updates aren't being covered by the app now?
