New Suxs Thread

Thank you.

Oh, no- I hope your stuff is in totes, at least the really fragile things?

I'm feeling a little pissy. I have just had my request info thread on DOA closed on Essex and Sara because those heads are OT apparently. Which means if I proceed and get them, the heads I really love, I won't be able to share them there. Damn. It figures. So now it's back to looking for other heads that are On Topic or forgetting ever posting any pics on DOA. I guess it shouldn't matter. I've got other places, here for one, where I could share them, it's just a pisser that I can't. I thought they were On Topic, sigh. I guess it's okay. Despite my best intentions I know that I am going to end up with a Resin Soul fantasy color doll at the very least and maybe a Miro SD pair later. I'm not kidding myself. The more time I spend on DOA the more I realize that these two Miro dolls are going to be like a gateway drug and I will end up with more...lol...you watch....

Note, one of the mods is taking the matter to the head honchos over there. The jury is out, yay! There is some hope apparently that Essex and Sara might be able to make an appearance on DOA yet! I personally do not see the difference between these dolls and say the smaller Iple dolls, so I'm really hoping they will okay them. I would seriously love to get those two on their real bodies. Sara has some seriously nice realistic tatas, much nicer than the Miro doll ones, and both dolls have much better hands, but they'd cost me like $700 to buy, and that's a LOT of money for a couple of dolls, even if they are just divine...

Panic attacks are the most useless response ever. I would really really love to know how having a damn panic attack managed to work its way through evolution. What purpose do they serve? "Hey you're in a situation you're haivng a hard time dealing with? I know! Lets make it impossible for you to actual deal with it long enough to correct it! That'll make everything better!" What makes it worse is *knowing* how stupid it is and not being able to do anything about it.

Freaking out and running away from scary things makes sure they don't eat you. We have several left overs, like wisdom teeth, that no longer make sense but it'll take a few thousand years or so to breed them out.

And you can disarm them. If distraction doesn't work go after the worries one by one and talk through them. I had to get to the bottom of what were idiot panic attacks and what were possibly seizures, that could be happening too, and by doing things that used to freak me out I'm better. Got to get the hands dirty to make dolls, I still don't like to touch food but it's easier. What was bothering you?

*More years than I care to admit of wearing the same pure silver chain around my neck, now I'm trying to keep a rash necklace at bay. I changed chains but right now I can't wear anything around my neck or shirts with collars in that area. Hopefully it'll clear up.

It seems silly now(well it always seems silly). I’ve been under a lot of stress from different family things. I don’t really want to get into the details of those but its been one thing after another from all parts of my family. My sister, my mom, my dad, my uncle, my grandma, my mother in law, my father in law, my step father in law, my aunt…literally everyone is having separate issues. Most of them are tiny things that are completely unimportant. Some of them are incredibly major life alteringly important but I could easily deal with any of them individually or in almost any combination of them, but all together it’s just too much and it’s been having me under a giant ball of anxiety for a few weeks. Typically when I get this anxious I can just exercise or go for a run and work some of it off so that it's manageable, but I’ve been really sick for almost two weeks now and I’m constantly coughing and can’t breath properly so exercising is definitely out. I sat down this morning at work and got an email reminder to do something from my boss. It wasn’t even that important and she wasn’t upset at all but I just had a complete panic attack at my desk. Couldn’t breath, hyperventilating, heart pounding, dizzy, the works. A coworker who’s a friend of mine saw me and took me outside before anyone else noticed and I managed to get it back under control so that I could get back to work. Every time my phone rings now I hyperventilate a little before calming down enough to answer it and this afternoon when I got a call on my personal cell from a number I didn’t recognize I damn near broke back into hysterics thinking it was going to be a hospital or police. I just need to keep moving forward and eventually things will calm down again and I know this but it sucks.

Thanks for listening(or rather reading) to me rant.

My fluff baby is at the vet getting IV fluids. She has some sort of kidney problem that the vet will explain to me this afternoon when I pick her up after 4.

@famedglory I've had times where it seems like my brain has to be upset over something, even if it's trivial, so I understand. Take some time somewhere and scream your head off, hopefully you'll feel better.

Get some worry beads. Those new big hole metal and glass ones are great. A couple packs and a "rope" bracelet you have something fashionable yet grown up you can play with. If noting else I have a couple of doodads on my watch chain I can occupy my fingers with and it helps distract and calm me.

Minor but very irritating suck: New tshirt - wore it once, for about half an hour - mystery stain appeared - immediately went through the wash; thought nothing of it when it came out still stained, through the wash again...

Have established that the "Stain" is in fact a bleached patch, there is nothing to removed; in fact that is the issue, dye has already been removed.

I wore it once! ONCE! ajkfaisoafhphjahuon grumble grumble - it's in a very obvious place, and it looks as though I've dribbled milk (or something less pleasant) down my front...

Grumble grumble - a perfectly good tshirt that can never be worn in public ever again

Dribble more bleach on it then it looks like one of those over prices distressed designer shirts.
