(are you still there?)

Feeling really stressed lately, mostly under the surface where it's hard to get a handle on it. I suppose I have a fair amount of things to be stressed about.

Comments

Aw, I still read it! I will comment with just, like "SURGERY, BADASSSSSSS!" if it will make you feel like posting is more worth it, but usually I just feel stupid posting comments that don't have more substance when I don't have much to say. <3

I hope your mom's biopsy results come back okay and that maybe you get some insight to the sleep thing even without the study. Is there any kind of low-budget at-home/self sleep study you could track for yourself? I would be going crazy just falling asleep like that. :(

Also, you should send me your new address so I can send you a goodie!

That's cool, lol, I post all sorts of stupid shit on your journal! Well, some longer comments, too, but there are definitely quite a few YAYCAPS comments I leave, heh. 'cause yeah, sometimes there just isn't a ton to say

[loonylupinlover]

Thanks <3

I read, I'm just lost in my own head most of the time and don't communicate with people. It's a bad habit, not only because its a scary place in my head.

I'm sorry that you're having a hard time. It's not as bad as not getting to do a sleep study - but I think I have a cavity and really need to go to a dentist, but one, dentists freak me out, and two, I'm worried about the money it will cost. So yeah, I get it.

This should end on a happy note. Umm... umm... Oh! I know! I saw two deer on my walk home tonight, that was exciting!

Stupid bad habits... so frustrating sometimes, I hear ya.

Thanks. Don't feel bad about worrying about the dentist. My mom is so scared of them she has to have gas even for cleanings, and Novocaine doesn't work really well on her so her appointments are more painful than for the average person. They've actually even found in a study that redheads like her experience more pain at the dentist and might have a lower physical pain threshold. So don't feel badly for being afraid! I've been putting it off too. I worry I might have my first cavity but I just haven't found a place down here/really looked, and don't want to spend any more money.

Yay deer!!! It's been a really long time since I've seen one, that's awesome though :)

*hugs tight* I'm wishing your mom luck and love.

I'm also sorry I don't comment more. I remember way back when I did that post on commenting etiquette, and yet I don't seem to have held to it much. You've always been one of the most consistent commenters on my journal, so I ought to do you the same favor. It's just that often I don't know what to say after I read that sounds remotely intelligent or otherwise possessing of a point. I try to comment when your posts are about tough situations where you need support; I should congratulate you more on the cool stuff you've done (although I'll also admit that a big reason I don't comment on the surgery posts are the pictures behind the cut grossing me out; I have a weak stomach for surgery...)

[loonylupinlover]

Thanks. Her biopsy came back normal today! :-D

I always wonder why people seem to worry about their comments sounding useful or intelligent. As longwinded and advice-givey as I get, always in the back of my mind is that it's, well, LiveJournal, lol. It's not a dissertation or a thesis and I can be silly in it and if the person receiving the comment doesn't like it, so what?

No worries on not checking out surgery pictures, I do vaguely realize it's not for everyone ;)

[loonylupinlover]

Ugh, yeah, the poster is freaking me out just a bit. I feel your stress!

Thanks :)
