How long have you been off the cigs ? I didn't feel frisky when I quit years ago. What's the secret ingredient ? :)

Secret ingredient,, Manic episode:D

I am coming out of the typical winter time lows and in the spring my moods elevate(so much I have to lessen the antidepressants and begin taking anti anxiety meds)

That and I am basically a male!

I have heard a lot of people say that about moods dropping in winter and elevating in spring. I don't have that, I am elevated all the time. It is light deprivation you know, but I am out walking all through winter so I guess I am not bothered by light deprivation, or whatever.

I go tanning in the winter, the big time lighting and heat are most welcomed, and it's free(I do services for the shop),, plus I look great(Humble me), If I feel I look good,that is good enough for me(Naturally I like to hear others tell me I look good too:p, just saying

Ken congrats on quitting the cigarettes, proud of you!

Morning Sheriff, thanks,it really does mean a lot! :cool:

As you know, I really know how hard it is to quit. Quitting is easy, I have done it many times, staying quit is the goal... you can do this.

Well best of luck Ken. I've been trying to quit for some time now. It's only during the day that I crave them. That and when I see someone else smoking.

I was thinking of trying Champax (spelling?). It's supposed to have a 98% success rate. I was even hospitalized with pneumonia for three weeks, and when I got out, let me tell you that first smoke never tasted so good.

I've cut back significantly, but I can't seem to stop all together. Are you going cold turkey?

How can you be basically male?

Try putting a uv bulb in a lamp and sitting by it for a couple hours a day to relieve the seasonal depression. The bulbs are expensive, but I'm sure you'd rather pay a bit for a bulb every now and then rather than spend all winter depressed.

I know you don't know me(yet), but for the past 43 years(all my life) I have had depressive episodes,and manic episodes(they were called hyperactivity when I was young)

I have been through most every type of therapy,from actual light therapy,to biofeedback.Breathing therapy,etc.

The best I have ever been,(last winter),ended up with a serious manic fit after a full winter of levelness(this time last year I had a major overdose and a lengthy stay inpatient), I don't brush off others ideas for help,but I know what works for me,, and what doesn't.

Don't get me wrong,right now I am really high, the combination of the smoking patch and the seasonal changes has me off the wall, but not as bad as last year, and this year I have a very good professional support group.(Of which I use)

Hope this makes sense,I am so high right now,I'm not sure it does.:eek:

Hey guys! Great news.

Your positive vibes did work (at least, that's what I think :)) Mum got to the office of the social security today, and had the luck to meet with a kind mister. He understood the situation and said that we needn't worry, we'll be having the money from the previous months too! :)

Sorry to hear that KISS, I'll send the vibes back to you. That must be awful, that pollen allergic. I have a friend with that sort of allergic, and it's not nice at all for him... Good luck! :)

Yay!! :d

Positive thinking and good timing will do it every time, Unky.

All you nicotine fiends, don't quit. Just put off lighting the next one. I've been procrastinating on that for 3 years now. It may still be a while before I light my next one.

Uh, Cats... "fiends"? ;)

Oh, OK, I thought you meant 'friends' :confused: :o

Nicotine friends? That doesn't even rhyme.

You know what I'm addicted to?

You guys!

[loud t.v. like awwww]

Lol, Hi Muddy! :)

Thanks for moving the posts Ben! Except that part of our conversation went there :o

I'm addicted to perogies.

I have that effect [affect?] on people.

However computer nerds I have to go to the store and buy me some ingredients for my dinner tonight. Don't you hate it when you have EVERYTHING for your meal and then it's like :

Blah
That thing
That other thing
This one
something you don't have
Oh yeah that
The other thing that goes after that one thing
That one thing

It annoys me... and I need it.

Just do not go to the grocery store when your hungry.

That list does not really help us out at all or gives us any idea what to do for dinner.

You could have done better LSS. I am disappointed... Na... Waa...

Can they be removed?
I received one not for what I posted on the board but a opinion of me as a person:confused: The reddie didn't make sense this person only has 7 posts!

Makes perfect sense. A uv bulb is just a simple, and fairly harmless, treatment for seasonal depression that works for a lot of people.

I did a paper of seasonal depression forever ago. It only had to be like 3-5 pages long, so I didn't get very in depth. I don't remember all of what I learned, but I remember enough to know that there isn't always a simple explanation for how weather effects our moods.

I just got back from the grocery store when I was hungry. I ended up accidentally skipping lunch. Food shopping when you're hungry is a REALLY bad idea when you ride a bike. I ended up hanging about 60 lbs off my handlebars.

I did, however stop by subway on the way home. A foot long sub just disappeared in under 10 minutes, and I'm still kind of hungry.

Even better, I have FOOD in my house again. And I got fresh food this time. Oranges, and salad, and cucumbers, and carrots, and a little watermelon. Somehow, the eggs survived the trip in the basket on my handlebars. I was sure they broke when I hit a big bump and everything in it almost flew out.

Don't worry about it too much, reddies make things look festive. ;)

Most newbies don't read the rules, don't realize that reddies are only for factually incorrect info. It gets old fast, but you get used to it. :)

Don't worry about the rating thingy its fairly broken anyhoo :D

Broken? Did someone put a stick in its spokes?

I think of it more along the lines of 'overwatering the plant'
