Soooo, she's flamed because she didn't give an update for 3 days?!

Not everyone gets on this board every day.

I wasn't too overwhelmed tonight, actually it was kind of nice! there was one point in time tonight when I had to deal with a very raunchy smell . . . .and ontop of that a psych resident that keeps her hands in her pants 98% of the day put her whole fist inside my mouth YUCK!!!!
I managed to vomit like 3 times tonight, but I dont think thats why my hands were shaking so bad.

Yesterday I was so overwhelmed and i did not shake at all. Keep in mind that I am 17 . . . and I'm not old enough to be shaking like that (lol),

I seriously do not know what is wrong with me, but I hear that that is what happens before a nervous breakdown. i dont want to have a nervous breakdown this young, but sometimes I feel like I could. Is this why I am shaking so bad???:imbar

Her whole fist!! I find that hard to swallow.... :confused:

Q. · Nov 24, 2002

First of all Mandi, why did this resident shove her fist in your mouth? I think that's ground for assault!

Secondly, in what capacity are you working? Are you an aide?

micro, RN · Nov 24, 2002

..........the point of all this is?????

tremors can be brought on by many things.....

anxiety, stress, fatigue, dehydration, side effects of drugs, effects of alcohol or drugs, physical illness, mental illness, combination of both.......are we not all human........

and the point of all this is.....?

I remember being 17 once.........

TEE-LPN · Nov 24, 2002

Mandi

Hang in there.........

semstr · Nov 25, 2002

Yeah, my parents also believed: sweet 17 never been kissed, never smoked and never drunk. HA HA HA HA

Still Mandy, take care of yourself! Renee

but, I was in a super advanced program, for the supergeekily inclined...

This is one freaky thread.

Whats worse: denial or surpression?

And, that question does beg to be answered!! :confused:

Peeps Mcarthur · Dec 1, 2002

When it comes down to it, hidding from reality in any form is both.

To feel real pain and suffering is a dark place, but so much more satisfying to embrace than the abyss of denial and supression of growth, which no person can satisfy its hunger.

I fed the monster for 25 years and I am an expert on that subject, if nothing else.

I blissfuly sat by and watched it devour all my chances at being a "normal" person.

It may not be ruining your life, but it is nibbling on it waiting to devour you. It's a game you can't win, but your playing to a draw until you lose.

That's a fact.
