  • I tend to suddenly get stricken with aches and stiffness. Is it from both my blood pressure and not stretching enough?

    Specifically where are the aches and stiffness located. High blood pressure is usually symptom-less unless it is very high.

    Aches tend to hit me more when I have been moving around more in my case. I have to be careful not to push myself too hard, and for quite a while, that bar has been very low. If you've been sitting typing a lot at a computer and hunching, that can certainly set off aches and pains. I just mention it as most human activity these days tends to involve sitting at desks for long periods of time.
    I am probably going to get in trouble at work. I thought I was on my usual schedule but it turns out I was supposed to come in at 8:00 in the morning. However, no one from work has called me.
    The auto service worker told me he ordered the wrong tire and I’ll have to come back later in the day for the right one.
    The house’s power went out and I don’t know why.

    Is it off for the whole neighborhood?

    Has anybody asked whether other people nearby have power?

    It’s off only for the side of the neighborhood the house is on.

    @tree , here I have Consumer's energy. On their outage page in the internet you can see affected areas and status. Last year we put in a whole house generator since we are rural.
    I can’t let go of feeling worried that I will never find love before I die.

    Do you really enjoy that negative outlook you so frequently display ?
    The immediate assumption you take that *all is lost*/*I'm doomed* when
    that isn't the necessary assumption to take?

    That's an aspect with which you can help yourself by 'working on yourself.'

    That book discussion is a step in that direction.

    Why are you told? Your negativity is turning you into a professional victim. neither negativity nor victimhood are selling points for a relationship that you desire.

    You need to learn introspection. Why do YOU think you get told to work on yourself?
    My mother is pressuring me to attend a church and an all-male Bible study. These suggestions are horrible.

    @tree I don’t think she even attends church nor a Bible study group. Yet she pushes these suggestions onto me.

    Well, if you live with her she gets to input into what you should do . . . house rules.

    @Markness
    It sounds like even though you and she inhabit the same living space,
    neither of you actually are aware of each other in a clear way. You don't
    know whether your mother attends church, for example, and she seems
    unaware that her ideas of activities for you don't interest you.
    I don’t want anyone to tell me they don’t want me to have a girlfriend.

    Probably your therapist has some ideas regarding that.

    I want you to be your own friend first. Then the girlfriend may come around. Chicks who want a healthy relationship dig guys who are their own friend.

    So, what if they do? Are you confident in yourself to disregard them? As a young adult people were telling me that I had no life experience despite doing my service alternative at USAMRIID, basic research in molecular genetics, and being active in outdoor pursuits. They thought that because I was not dating that somehow my experience counted for nothing. I was on my own schedule.
    I am scared that I am doomed to always get rejected and will suffer until I die.

    I worry that I’ll never get to post about finally meeting that special someone. :(

    Maybe you could post about other fun and special things that you do and see how that feels.
    What I dreamed about before waking up was similar to what happened between Jennifer and I.

    The meeting part and her disappearing was similar. The other stuff I can’t mention in public.

    OK.

    I have dreams like that all the time. Many now I also can't mention in public. I wish they were a reality.

    I also meet an Jennifer at a park event but she seem to have very little interest in talking to me more after.
