Confessions?

[MrsAggie]

My confession is that I started taking anti-anxiety meds again today. I started them last year and weened off in March/April. I'm trying to shake the feeling of being disappointed in myself.

Try not to feel that way. I completely understand. I weened myself off 3 years ago and was doing great without taking anything since then. The last 8 months I've been fighting the urge to restart them, despite my anxiety being out of control. But I know I need to, because I feel miserable half the time. I plan to call the base clinic next week to talk to someone about it (provided I don't lose my nerve between now and then).

My husband and I made out like teenagers this weekend... he SO left a freakin hickey on my neck.

I am TOOOOOOO OLD for that.

Guys please don't feel bad about your anxiety. It's not something you can just turn off. It can be extremely hard to deal with on your own and if you need a little help it's okay to take it! I hope you both find something to help.

I've been "running" on the elliptical for several weeks now and decided to see how I did outside off the machine (since the PFA will be an outside run).

Huge failure. The sports bra I've been wearing was just not supportive enough! Im kinda bummed I had to stop after about a quarter of a mile the bouncing was so bad Now I'm really going to need to bite the bullet and invest in a real running bra, I just hate the idea of spending $70+ on a bra that isn't cute and lacy.

Thanks gumby and lamp. I'm working on accepting this as a disorder, not a weakness. Gumby, I hope you can find some resolution soon!

I gave in and made an appt with the base clinic for later this week. As soon as I hung up the phone from making the appt, I had a good cry, mostly because it feels good to take a step in the right direction. Aggie, I've really struggled for several years to not to see it as a weakness. That's how I always viewed it for myself, even though I know its not. That's why I didn't take anything for it. Hopefully just talking with a doctor about options will help put my mind at ease about thinking that way.

I feel ya. Put your normal underwire on, sports bra on top of that, and then a cami with a built-in "bra". That usually straps my 36 DDs in pretty tight. It's painful otherwise!

Look for anything with 4 barbells. They have 1 5 barbell, but even they admit it's not pretty

I'm so glad you made an appointment and had a good cry. Anxiety is nothing to toy with. I put off seeing a doctor after my deployment and finally gave in about two years ago. I can tell you now that it is not a weakness and is a medical condition. Feel free to vent dear.

I think complaining about the board the way it is and how much better it used to be is a cop out. It's the same people for the most part, so it's our/their own fault, depending how long ago wer're talking.

I think women who get all nutso about not consuming lunch meat/sushi/alcohol/etc. While pregnant are hypocrites. It's so much more likely that you will get in a car crash that will harm you or your fetus that I give your eating habits and your fervor for them a major side-eye unless you also stop riding in cars.

I think these are both UOs and not confessions. But I already typed them here.
