    The difference between rationality and irrational nature of sli and LSE is LSE recognize what needs to be changed and change it.

    in my dual pairs things that are done that might be considered a stop are often either forgotten about as the objective is to repair and maintain the integrity of the relationship or they are addressed at a later time when people are at ease and may respond to them and not be stressed. So I can tell him not to respond and he'll know "not now" and he is always welcome to come back to it or send me something comforting to Gage my mood.
    I guess this makes sense to how things operate for you, but it's entirely not speaking to my context.
    It's your convolution.

    Well, nice catching up with you I guess.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    I officially started my green card application today. This has been my number one goal in life and it feels momentous. I will still take a while, so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly. If all goes well, I will never have to apply for a U.S. visa again. #thankyounewemployer #perseverance

    Cool! We will be resident aliens together. I got mine as a child but have to reapply for a new card every 10 years or something.

    That's horrible to hear. I don't know what to say that wouldn't sound T mechanical. I am very sorry for the way situation developed.

    @Kim, good for you for going for your green card. My sis-in-law put hers off a long time, and finally got it, then her citizenship, and was greatly relieved, too. Has two passports now. Dual citizenship makes going through airports faster...
    @Maritsa, I am so sorry about your Dad. That is discouraging and difficult.

    I broke my ankle Friday. Its discouraging but there certainly are worse things in life. I never broke a bone before, but this is a fracture, not like in half or anything. The last time I had crutches I was pregnant with my son (now 19) having sprained the same ankle. (And I have a sprain as well as the break). My husband is helping me with everything. I can put NO weight on it yet. Dh is picking up a wheelchair from craigslist tonight so I can do more around the house. Like vacuum, cook, etc. I have had it with lying down.


    ... this and other things are slowing down our new room construction. It is not going to be done for Christmas... just have to face it.

    Aw, thanks. People here have been asking me every day if I feel any better, and I never seem any better than the day before. But yesterday made one week,. and I realized I AM certainly better than a week before, so, it must be getting a tiny bit better each day. I can rest my foot on the floor now and sort of lean on it, at least balance on it, esp. w/ my toes, which is a gigantic difference and makes life easier. Dh got me a wheelchair on Craigslist Monday and its the best thing ever. I can stay busy all day. Also I can see things to clean on this level I didn't notice so much before. The lower kitchen cabinets are spotless now... My brother and his girlfriend came for the first time this weekend, and while they were out I was able to prepare a nice dinner as well as prepare and precook the main part of tomorrow's breakfast - so it will be a hot and good meal with no trouble in the morning.

    I missed Mass for the first time in a several years last week, but this week, tomorrow, after guests leave, we will go to a late afternoon Sunday Mass - a Tridentine Latin Mass my husband has long been wanting to go to at the Cathedral which is at that hour, and my husband will push me up front in the wheelchair.

    I really do think it will be just the 4-6 weeks like the doctors said, one week of which is over now, so I am encouraged.

    I am learning a lot and Dh and I are learning from this big challenge. He is such a HUGE help, with EVERYTHING. But I could see him getting tired, even though he assured me it was fine ["I am your husband!"], so that really got me out of the fear of moving and into trying harder to do things myself, which, especially with the help of the wheelchair, I found I could do. I also found that keeping busy helps me forget that constant low pain entirely, much of the time.

    It feels like such a victory to have entertained successfully tonight and tomorrow is all prepared too (and the house is clean and tidy). Dh right now is blowing out the candles from the diner we had earlier now. Tealights sparkling around the room in pretty little tiny mercury glass cups.... I love it.

    That's a HUGE improvement from last weekend when i was on my back with my foot up ALL the time.

    I am made aware how fortunate I am to have a fully functioning body. This is only a temporary handicap for me....

    Another encouraging thing is my brother (the LSE one) brought me my much-missed patio set that did not fit in our moving van last year (looks like this: briarwood-wrought-iron-patio-furniture.jpg ) and he helped Dh set it up with its umbrella on our "someday patio" - the grass behind our house. That hoped-for bluestone patio is to come, Lordwilling, after much more work and careful saving, and the hope is for it to have a tumbling stone wall that borders it rebuilt, and carefully chosen garden plantings, which I will LOVE planning, including an arbor path entry.... and hopefully no bear guests...

    Its Halloween and my least favorite holiday. Because its meaningless, for one. Kids dressing up, feeling special, and enjoying treats - that part is nice.

    I have recently started taking SSRI anti depression meds. . I've been very depression the last year but it has just recently affected my activities and interests. Hope for the best! I started taking them because I know better. I don't like cornering myself in the shadows and I know better than to live a sorrowful and sad life. I should take my meds and see how things go. My cousin may not like it when I tell her and she may want me to make choices that will make me happier but we'll see.

    Good for you for recognizing a problem and doing something about it. But while you take this, consider also natural alternatives that build your health, not add health problems. I know people who were on Zoloft and jumped right into 5HTP. 5HTP is GOOD for you. Its a natural alternative to SSRI drugs. I can assure you there are MANY natural alternatives for depression,. they just don't get the press the drugs do, because no one patented the natural alternatives so no one can corner the market to get rich on them.

    Here is an article explaining 5HTP:http://www.life-enhancement.com/maga...t-your-spirits

    Here is an article discussing various anti-depressant natural alternatives: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/ar...n-to-work.aspx

    These things will help you stay healthy, which I know is important to you.

    Also, Essential Oils. Find a Young Living dealer near you, or, you can get medicinal grade Essential Oils at a good health food store near you. You put a drop on yourself or your clothing or your desk where you sit. It really is powerful. These helped me through the difficult times after divorce and starting a new life. It helps to have a little help in hard times. I used Orange, Lemon, Geranium that I recall.

    This has a lot of side effects. Insomnia, nausea, increased appetite, headache, sensitivity to light, weakness in the muscles especially in my legs. It's not too bad though where I can't function. At least it wards off feelings and thoughts that circulate in my mind.

    Thank you. I'll look into all of them. I know it's not related to the weather, my thyroid or vitamin D deficiency as all these things have been checked. It has to do with my feelings about relationships. And I've been increasingly internalizing and getting sad maybe even angry that we've had an alarmingly increased number of homelessness in my neighborhood. The city declared a state of emergency recently. How can one not feel the scale of this? I even considered opening my home to house homelessness teens but my mom would kill me and truthfully the country wouldn't let me (I called them). In any case I'm going to stick to helping my friends. But I've often just cried on my way home

The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

The city declared a state of emergency recently. How can one not feel the scale of this? I even considered opening my home to house homelessness teens but my mom would kill me and truthfully the country wouldn't let me (I called them). In any case I'm going to stick to helping my friends. But I've often just cried on my way home
    Oh dear you don't want to do that, Maritsa. An EII friend here did that and she sure got burned. The guy made promises to help her with things, too, and of course did not, just ran up her bills. He finally left, and left all his stuff, and she was not allowed by law to get rid of it because he had begun using her address. It can get so complicated. My dh's ex took in homeless teens, ended up get blamed for their drinking in her home, and did some JAIL TIME for it. Not to mention one got their teen daughter pregnant.... There are all kinds of reasons for homelessness and some are criminal and mental health issues. Support your local homeless community helping organization.

    Its a good time to watch uplifting movies... or watch Funniest Home videos, or youtube cute kitty cat clips...

    "Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the Church, is often labeled today as fundamentalism... Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along
    by every wind of teaching, looks like the only
    attitude acceptable to today's standards."
