The Goddess and GUBU: Square Dancing at the Triple GGG Ranch

[GoatGal]

Thanks to everyone who responded on my last thread.


Nero, I wanted to give you a shout out for your continued support.

I have to believe that things will get better. One way or the other, they have to.

Today I heard a quote from the movie with Vincent Price, "The Tingler".
It made me think of our sitches.

Dr. Warren Chapin (Price):
"I've seen this phenomenon many times in people who were badly frightened just before they died. There's a force in all of us that science knows nothing about.
The force of FEAR.

... The "Tingler".... is in all of us....but what causes it to appear and disappear, we don't know. Someday, I hope to find out."

"... It's an ugly and dangerous thing--ugly because it's the creation of man's fear which is ugly too... dangerous because--a frightened man is dangerous..."

"FEAR....fear... when it's in the body and cannot be released... is it possible, that this FEAR CAN KILL YOU?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. I believe that unrelenting fear, dread, anxiety and panic cause negative changes to the body and mind. That's been proven.
It will cause PTSD, high blood pressure, heart disease, gastric distress, weight loss, insomnia, and all sorts of other things.

I think many of us here are suffering classic symptoms of PTSD yet somehow don't think it's worth noting, much less treating.
It is serious stuff people. Your well-being should be your number one priority.
Especially for those of us who are older and more vulnerable to the ongoing stress.
And for those of you with children, you owe it to THEM to feel better, whatever it takes.

That's why is is SO important that we get that PMA and GAL for US. For our health. For our loved ones.
It's not "optional". Not if we want to survive this.

We need to get OURSELVES UNDER CONTROL.
I am as guilty as the next guy.

I am still down 30 pounds and hovering. Ten I was okay with. Thirty, not so much.

I still have days when it's hard to eat, hard to sleep.

But I don't want my own "Tingler" to take over and kill me with my own fear.

I am going to scream myself sane if it's the last thing I do.
