Re: How are you feeling?
I'm weak and shaky. I went to Windsor to pickup a sign and lockbox for my Dad, and went to Sobey's after. While I was in the store, I began to feel weak and shaky.

Two things that will make you live 20 longer, is water and sunlight.
Sunlight always makes people happy, and so does smiling, or seeing someone else smile at you.
Everyone has a big problem in their life. That problem is life itself. Whatever the problem, you can overcome it.
You either make the best of life, or life makes the best of you. It's that simple.
If you think you will succeed, you will.
If you think you will fail, you will.

Thanks, guys. And oui, coyote, I do speak French.

Re: How are you feeling?
Horribly bored again. I have nothing to do, I can't do what I want because I keep getting distracted with nothing. I can't focus.
On top of that, I miss my friend very much.

Re: How are you feeling?
Wired. I stayed up to finish a paper (I turned it in just in time). I can't sleep now, but I need to, since I work in the morning. My son has taken over my bed, so that may be a slight challenge.

I was a pretty easy kid. My ex (son's dad) was terrible (this is not exclusive to his childhood). I have a feeling this could be partly genetic, but is mostly that I am a very bad disciplinarian.
I'm so afraid he'll end up like my ex. I'm debating whether I should take him for counseling, since I don't know what to do, but I really think that with more structure, things will be better.

Have you thought about watching Super Nanny and see how she works with families with this kind of common issue?

Re: How are you feeling?
Saw my therapist today. It was desperately needed. Not feeling too much better but it was very good to get my thoughts out there.

Re: How are you feeling?
Positive... went for a lovely walk again and walked barefoot on the grass in a filed, I even walked in a lane for a while - okay, so it was only 9 minutes, and I became quite anxious, but it's better than I've managed for a long while!

Re: How are you feeling?
I don't even have the strength to find a job for myself I just feel pretty hopeless and all, if money wouldn't be something that I need I would feel better though

I have watched Super Nanny (actually, my son likes to watch with me and tell me how badly the kids on the show are behaving). One episode in particular had a kid who kept getting up at night, and the parents had to keep putting the kid to bed. I have followed the procedure Super Nanny suggested in the past, but my big problem is that I'm not consistent. I don't have the patience to do this every time we have an issue. I know it will pay off in the long run, but I get very frustrated in the moment.
