For the past three years I have suffered from nasal congestion. It started in August of 2008 as a general cold, but by the December of 2008, it has gone up into my nose. At first, I again thought it was just a cold, but three years later, I'm still not over it.

I have tried every remedy I know of; nasal sprays, inhaling things, rubbing things on my nose. I have had varying degrees ...

I am at a lack of sleep in comparison to my typical 9-12 hours of sleep.
I get a floating feeling when this happens.
I can't decide between drinking coffee and making my habitual sleep down to 7 or 8 hours, or just sleep 9+ hours.

I am trying to lose weight, but when I see food and start eating it is hard not to pig out and keep eating till my stomach is full. Then when that happens I feel sleepy. Hard to get out of this eating-sleeping cycle. I think coffee might help, but then I think it is unnatural.

I don't know how to stop my sugar cravings. I try to go without sugar for a few weeks, then I get a strong urge to have a slice of chocolate cake. I know sugar can lead to gaining weight and diabetes, but I can't help it. Any advice appreciated. Trying to lose weight and control my sugar intake, but it is really touch. I don't think I would be able to survive without sugar.

It's nearly THAT time of year again, and for some it will be happy, and others may not be looking forward to it so much. It's a strange time, Christmas. To me, apart from all the usual festive stuff, it reminds me that another year is about to come to an end. Have any of you learnt a valuable lesson this year that's helped you? Will you carry that lesson through to next year? PLEASE ...

1 month till the new year begins. :3

I'm interested to know how you'd like your life to change over 2012, and furthermore, how will you get there?

*hugs*

This is my stuttering story. I started stuttering when I was about five, what it was brought on by I have no clue. My older brother would used to make fun of me and interrupt me a lot, so maybe but who knows. Well, throughout school I wouldn't read aloud, just because I would get lost and anxious and start stuttering and there was a fear of just mispronouncing words. Well, the teachers finally realized ...

So...first off I don't want anyone to misunderstand what I am describing. This has nothing to do with alters, and I know these "people" aren't real when I imagine them. But imagining them makes me feel good. :lol:

Does anyone else have imaginary friends? Many times when I am feeling nervous or overwhelmed, I turn on my music and imagine the singers/musicians are my friends walking with ...

Finally I have come to a near total understanding of my problem:

I simply don't perceive reality the way "normal" people do. They simply accept the idea that people are behind the changes in the world, and that individual people can change their lives if they want. Whatever path their lives take, they don't question the how and why; they just go with the flow. If that path changes, even radically, they claim to be ...
