RN, I JUST finished the family christmas movie I've been working on since January. Just finished watching the rewritable DVD I burned to test, and have finished the minor tweaks before sending to final high-quality render. HOORAY!! (I know this probably means nothing to you all, but it's seriously eight months of fun and frustration coming to an end...yay!)

RN I just can't seem to bring myself out of the dumps. I also hate the fact that when I'm down or something is wrong I clam up. I don't talk much and I don't post much. I don't like that I withdraw, but that's just how I handle things.

RN Twinkie I tend to withdraw at times, too. It's a good sign that you could share that much with us. Hang in there, and hopefully things will look up soon. RN I'm watching America's Got Talent.

Rn Twinkie I am the same way at clamming up and I decided while watching BB to finally jump back into the swing of things. I loved reading every ones posts put felt so left out. But just typing out your thoughts and feelings may bring you out of the dull drums of life. Even if you only post in a thread a day one that brings back happy memories and will lift your spirits and make you feel better. I have found is working for me. Just don't get lost like I did for so long. As it is more lonely without friends. ((Twinkie))

RN Thanks, guys, for the hugs and advice. I just hate to sound like poor me when others have worse problems. That's why I don't say much about me. I can post about TV shows or give advice to others but just don't want to appear to be seeking sympathy. So, it is a fairly big step for me to even tell ya'll I'm so down. Just so many depressing things going on right now. I'm sure 6 months from now things are bound to be better. Just kind of bleak right now.

RN Twinks if you feel lousy we WANT to know so we can try to listen and hopefully cheer you. At the very least, you'll know you are not alone. It's not a competition. Sometimes when I am down some folks have made disparaging remarks about me being a whiner. That hurts plenty and makes me feel worse. But eventually I focus on the folks who do care enough to leave genuine positive, upbeat messages, and believe me that helps enormously. I'm learning to tune out the negative crap. It's difficult, but the positive stuff is so worth it. Knowing there are people who care, who insist on validating me, regardless of how much I am beating myself up, or how defeated I may feel, is such a healing thing. Luckily, I haven't been that down in a bit. But being borderline manic-depressive, there's always another case of the blues around the corner for me. I understand that your blues are regarding some real life events that are bringing you down. But remember that things always, eventually do have a way of turning around for the better, the trick is to somehow hang in there, even if you are white-knuckling it. And around here, yer never alone. Cyberhugs are free for the asking. Big, squishy hugs for today Twinks!

RN: Yawn. I am so tired this morning. Lil' sister called me before 6 to ask me who sang the "drove my chevy to the levy" song, so I told her and she said "What's that song called?" so I told her, then informed her that as soon as she got hom from Florida, I was kicking her butt for waking me up so early. Yeah right.

RN Thanks Mame and Juju. This must be pain day. Last night my neck and top of my shoulders started hurting so I took a pain pill before going to bed. Today I woke up in worse pain. I can't even turn my head without terrible pain. I don't know what I did to it. The only thing I can think of is stress and tension. I just took another pain pill and I'm thinking about laying down for a bit.

RN Twinks - I do GENTLE neck excercises for my whiplash. Also I alternate 10 min with icepack & 10 min with microwaveable heating pad, and keep alternating for half an hour to an hour. There are physiotherapists here at the clubhouse, so maybe they will have better advice for you. Also, GENTLE massage in your upperback and shoulder area should loosen things up. When I can't stand it and nothing else helps, I take a tylenol 3 (tylenol with codein, for the pain, and also muscle relaxant). Also hot baths/showers are good too to ease muscle tension. Hope this helps!
