It's been rather windy here today, which is why a spruce tree in the yard of the house I live in just landed on the shed about half hour ago! However, the shed doesn't look to have much damage, as the fallen tree is merely resting on the roof of the shed.
I'm just glad the tree didn't land on the house I live in.
Otherwise, I'm doing fine now. I hope everyone is well.
I had a good Christmas. Now I'm looking forward to New Year's Eve, where I'll say goodbye to this decade and hello to the '20's.
It was quiet, just the way I wanted it. Besides I was in no shape to be good company to others so I just slept mostly. Guess what, it cost me $0. YAY for that!!
If I don't see you all before.. wishing everyone here at AF a happy, healthy, and safe new year.
See you in 2020.
Take good care.

Hi Sal I was wondering where you are, good to see you. Good to see that we all survived Xmas, :))
On this New Year's Eve, I won't be just reflecting on the past year. I'll also be reflecting on the past decade.
Maybe you should look into future Mike, Every time I reflect on past I get anxious and upset, but a lot of bad things happened to me in past ..so maybe it is a reason
Happy New Year everyone...or for that matter, Happy New Decade everyone!
Thank you and happy New year to you all.
We survived :)
The '20's are now here, believe it or not!
yep and my wish is ; 2020 be as good as was 2019
Now that it's past New Year's Day, I'm not thinking as much about the past decade. I'm thinking more about the present as well as how 2020 may turn out to be like for me.
I’m a bit excited about it being a new decade. Well, I’m anxious as hell about the current state of the world, but anxiety and excitement are related. Let’s just think it’ll be *interesting* :)Quote:

Maybe it’s at peak insanity lol. Right now I feel grateful for the rest of the world showing support.. Especially since we’ve had a govt that couldn’t care less about its own country for the last decade or so.Quote:

Tonight the Patriots play the Tennessee Titans in Foxboro, Massachusetts in a playoff showdown. So I'll be glued to the TV tonight.
Go Patriots!
Sometimes you'd never know it, everyone looks to be at their breaking points. You can see it and feel it everywhere you go in public. Admittedly I find it quite hard to be in public, honestly, its a chore. I'm quite sensitive to negative energy. I have to be medicated to be around people.Quote:

I'm thinking of appropriate titles to reflect how I'm feeling currently and issues I hope to resolve, or at least work on. Staying silent, unfortunately, it builds and I feel like a pressure cooker waiting to explode.
Hope you all are recovering from the holidays and doing well now. Me.. I haven't completely recovered yet. Still waves of panic come over me. Things were never resolved and never will be. Hard to explain.
Take care :)
Being in public places is really hard at least for me. The tension is building, I can feel it, Something is going to happen something major
I will not mind if you start personal thread as long as I am welcome there ? Would I be? It is very good to see you Salvator
For some people writing is like a therapy, Raggamuffin does it, describing his fight with his addition. Read it Sal, He is a good writer and he explained a lot to me
Hey Salvator :)Quote:

I’m definitely still recovering. I was going back and forth from my mother’s place like a maniac.
I had a pretty good day today even though the New England Patriots lost last night in a playoff game, ending the season for the Pats.
Gypsy I found it today, The "climate change" suppose to cause fires in Australia; well it gets the help. I can not believe what people will do for money and power ; https://summit.news/2020/01/06/nearl...ing-bushfires/
We had massive fires here in Maine, United States way back in 1947, which was way before I was born. It devastated much of Maine.
you just made my day heheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeQuote:

I just saw my psychiatrist about an hour ago. I had nothing in particular to discuss with him. But we had a nice chat. I told him what I've been doing lately, including the fact that I discuss my issues with mental illness on online forums such as this one.
The next time I'll see him will be in two months.
My psychiatrist and I are both happy with how I've been doing over the last seven or eight years.
Gypsy :))))).........
Nah but we had plenty of that here. Our cops are getting semi-automatic rifles now lol (true). One of them (police) was caught doing a “white power” hand gesture. He might not have been popular in your area.Quote:

Guys we are called the hypocrites ,
Fuck the thingy Gypsy we were talking about, It is back and in full miserable way I wake up so hot my mind is screaming ; HELP.
Can not sleep the last few nights
Mine’s been better actually. I went back on Zoloft a month ago and maybe that’s helped. Or I’ve been so stressed over Xmas I didn’t notice.Quote:

We received an inch of new snow here this morning. I don't think I'll have to do any shoveling, however, as I think most of the new snow will melt this afternoon.
We're supposed to get some warm weather this weekend here in Maine, like 55 F degree weather. It might be a good break from the winter cold for me.
yep the same here mike
An ice storm is on the way for us here in Maine on Sunday. So I'll probably be stuck inside all day on Sunday.
Today I purchased two containers of yogurt at the grocery store, only to realize when I got home that they have more sugar than I'd like.
For me shopping is hard job, I need to check for sugars (99 different names) and for fillers which is usually some kind of starch. I do not buy anything that I can make at home
Tomorrow I'll be watching the AFC Championship game and then the NFC Championship game. Lots of NFL football for me to look forward to watching tomorrow.
Tonight I'll be watching the Kansas City Chiefs play against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
May the best team win.
Congrats to the Chiefs and their loyal fans, as they're this season's Super Bowl Champions.
This morning here where I live in Maine it was -16 F, the coldest temps we've had here this winter.
