MDJunction to me

grandmasylvia"MDJ has been "a soft place to fall" for me as Dr Phil says. I have this very painful rare disease Dercum's Disease and take comfort in finding others here who share their knowledge and compassion. Many
members have helped me just by understanding my anguish and validating
my pain. We are working together to encourage research toward a cure.

Hey All,

it seems to me that I have some interesting habits that I have been thinking lately could be related to the bipolar or OCD, so I thought I would ask your opinions Smile would help alot

1. So easily bored

2. Lack focus concentration and memory

3. Have conversations with people in my head as if they were really there with me.

4. Lack of motivation and will power

5. over estimating my abilities - I just picked up a second degree and im studying both by correspondence

6. The urge to always be working towards some grand plan

7. My mountain of debt (actually i know this is related)

8. Inability to truely relax

9. getting restless in the one place and wanting to move to new places reguarly.

10. Guilt over the smallest of things

11. Constant feeling im doing things wrong

Hmm this is enough for now, otherwise I will never get around to my studies Smile

Thank ya muchly

You awake as if from a nightmare to find yourself standing in front of a blank wall, dazed with no idea as to how you got there.

You feel something in your hand. You look down to see you are holding paint brush, you are confused. Out of the corner of your eye you see a table, on that table is some paint. The colours make you feel happy and safe, you look to the other side, and there is another table with paint. The colours are dark and remind you of your nightmare, a chill runs down your spine at the thought of it.

You look back at the canvas and see something you missed before. Now you understand. you chose a colour, and begin to paint.

Above the wall was written,

Your life

Inspiration i found in the shower a few yrs back :)

I do all of these things too. You aren't alone in this. I really, really hate the inability to relax. I can't do anything to relax and when I go to even visit my family I'm on edge.

I always thought no normal person will do or think in some of the ways I do and wondered what was wrong with me, but as I learn more, its all starting to make sense.

Thank you Joy
