Do any of you have tendencies to "overdue" certain things in your life?
Posted , 3 users are following.
What I'm talking about are tendencies like shopping too much (this is my fault), spending too much time online, anything that is done over and above what is expected?
I'm hoping I worded this right because that determines whether or not the discussion is a success or not.
I believe I'm an over achiever in many aspects of my life. When I was younger, I would take care of the house inside and out. I'd take care of the girls; work fulltime; exercise at 5:00 - 7:00 am (walk for an hour of tht time); come home from work, make dinner and get homework done; go to my swim exercise class and from there yoga then home to bed. In between those things, I'd take my one daughter to her cello lessons and my other to her golf lessons. Then after the girls were a bit older, to the ones orchestra practice and the other to her golf outing. To this day, I don't know how I did it. There is a lot I left out merely because this would seemingly be a "brag fest".
After the auto accident I was in, 2005 and 2013, my life changed dramatically. Everything stopped, everything. No more working, disabled. I cannot walk but not like I used to. I can barely walk from the parking lot to the doctors office inside the building. So, I've turned to "shopping". I do over due this and I know I do but it's like the only thing I do have control over. I can't do much of anything. Cannot drive, no exercising; both girls are grown and married so no going to any "concerts" my daughter was in and no more golf outings.
My point is, if you are going through anything remotely similar, please share with me how you've overcome it or what it is that you do in access.
I would greatly appreciate your input!

Hope you all understand and know this is a good time for you to open up and share what's happening in a negative way in your life. The great part of being on this site is that we are all anonymous and we "should" all be non-judgemental!! (that is key to asking someone to open their heart and share)
anyway, please share with me bc it will help me find ways to rewind my brain and find ways to stop my habit. it's not that bad but it's bad enough that ron is stressed a bit about it because it's so out of character of me to do this.
anyway, thanks,

iv been looking in to ldn again today and iv found a couple of side effects dizzinness vivid dreams nausea and the inability to sleep ,
i think its proberly because it was desighned for people to come of opiates . the small trials conducted using it on fibro patcients noted up to 30% inprovement in there over all condition with only very minor side effects that nobody found toublesome so i am hoping to discus this with my gp on monday . but i wouldnt have even none about ldn if it wasnt for this forum .

The inventor of it claims that it tricks the body into making more; reminds me of the hypothesis of homeopathy, which I've found works. Well Aurum muriaticum, or gold helps me to feel more cheerful.

It's basically things to take my mind off how ill and in pain I feel, but I think I was always an obsessive person before ME.

and those horrid sticky labels that used to priced gunned on everything had to be all removed took me ages to get them of my shopping .back in the 80s and 90s thank god most places dont use them anymore .
even the soap on the magnectic holder has to point the right way .it makes me so tired ,esp when you live with others who dont get it.

I do also believe I've been and obsessive for a long time, if not forever. I can see a pattern towards this from very early on and when I try to correct the problem, I find something else to obsess over. Geesh, this is exhausting! I've got to find a way to "train" the brain to say NO when it comes to shopping.
*sigh*
Thank you ALL for your input!
I feel better but sorry that you're going through this too.
Warm regards and stay well,

because they have deleated the conversation on the gmo foods so i didnt get your reply .talk about keeping us in the dark and feeding us bull
GeorgiaS tiswas24537
Posted
It was probably because you mentioned a company; I think they should allow us to talk about GM foods because it's a general topic and not either promoting or criticising anyone in particular? And foods affect our health so it's relevant to our illnesses and what to eat and what to avoid if we want to get better.

that gm foods have to be listed but not so in the USA so they eat because they cant avoid it .

Is that how you feel? Trapped in a body that won't work properly?
Know what, I really hope some medical professionals are reading forums like these. Or am I dreaming that they'd bother. Yes!

Your losing your memory so badly sounds awful! I haven't taken Gingko biloba for a while but it's good for the memory and energy so I'll have to order some.
