Open Post: Hosted By Harper Seven

The sheer power of Whitney Houston brought Dlisted down to its gutter whore knees on Saturday night and even after I patched the server up with a piece of chewed gum and the insides of a used condom I found in front of my apartment, it still came down again for a second yesterday. Then today, it went down again (Note: Between the server and I, at least one of us is going down if you know what I mean.), and my server tells me this time it was a network-wide related issue. I have a hard time believing that only because three seconds before Dlisted crashed again, I hit the refresh button and it screamed "KISS MY ASS" at me. They tell me everything is fixed now, so hopefully it is. Trust me, if I could hook Dlisted up to the powerful power source that is Hamster Dog, I would, but that bitch won't talk to me ever since I said I was racist against big dogs.

Please accept this picture of Harper Seven flipping me off baby-style as an apology gift for all of the site's fuck-ups.

To the person who complained about feeling blue:

I don't know where you are in the world and if it is winterish there (as in lack of sunlight) but if it is that kind of blues I can tell you what helped me. I know it sounds loco but in the winter I use a light box. I actually sit in front of this blinding light for at least an hour a day. Mine is a Sun Touch Apollo. (That's what it says on the box)

Anyway, I know it sounds silly as hell but it actually works, especially if I start using it before the urge to hibernate sets in really bad which I did this year, like an idiot. You can read about light boxes on the internet but I swear it keeps me from shooting myself, eating myself into a million pounds, and just generally being a pain in everyone else's ass. I use it all winter.

Everyone who mentioned exercise is right on too. But it is very hard to get started doing that when you feel like a hopeless slug. Once you bathe yourself in the fake sunshine for a couple of weeks you are better able to summon the effort to shake a leg.

Hope you find something that helps, it's awful feeling like that.

Adorable baby and love how she is dressed. I love when parents dress their children nicely and like babies, if that makes sense.

Thanks harper - you're right about exercise. I haven't been doing it for the past month and that may be part of the reason I'm feeling so overwhelmed. It's becoming a battle to get up and go to work in the morning. I have a strong family history of depression (usually self-medicated with alcohol) and the prospect of heading down that road is terrifying. I keep trying to force myself not to give in to it, but it's getting harder. Thanks for your kind words and support.

CSG - honestly, exercise. There is something about the endorphins from exercising that helps quell my mind when I've had anxiety problems. If you can get in a good work out, and I mean one where you're working up a good sweat, I honestly think that will help you feel a little better. Hang in there.

I have a similar issue. My advice (and my MDs) is - go out and get some good hard, exercise. Run, walk fast, do cartwheels - or if the weather is inclement stay inside and do some jumping jacks, skip rope, turn up the music and dance. Exercise works! Try to get yourself into a yoga class or failing that try to do some sort of brisk exercise daily. People feel immediate results from this whereas the same thing can't always be said for medication.
Keep talking to us - I know everyone here cares!!!!!!! XOXOXO

"Shalikla!"

Hi dlisters! I've been spotty in checking in lately, and missed almost the whole Whitney coverage (altho I had to respond to Tony Bennett's stupidity). I've been trying to deal with some major anxiety, and not doing too well with it. I know I should go to the doctor, but also know that she'll just whip out the prescription pad. Any suggestions for holistic remedies would be greatly appreciated (especially as the insomnia is killing me). I'm going to try and get a few hours sleep now, but will check back in.

I hope everyone else is doing ok.

I went to the OTB(off track betting) this weekend. I was doing horrible with my bets cuz I'm rusty. I haven't bet on a horse or looked at a betting form in over a year and a half. So I decide to do what my female cousin does when she would go with me to the track at The Downs in ABQ. She would bet by looking at the names and picking her horse by that alone. So I try it and look at the names and what do I see?

I bet that horse to win and it won ! ! !

Thanks to Dlist for existing(& MK too) and CSG for picking that screen name.

Forgot to tell you earlier, I was NOT laughing that watched "The Bodyguard" last night. That was a fun movie with a good soundtrack. It was the only Whitney Houston album I bought. She had a great voice. Like every other 80's teen I danced to her music in nightclubs everywhere-but I didn't like her style much until she had a slightly harder sound.

Ambrosia salad!! Reminds me of my mid-childhood years in Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia. A perfunctory bowl of ambrosia salad's on the banquet table at any & every Southern church potluck, family gathering, wedding and funeral, or at least it used to be while I was growing up there. Curious combination of addictive delicious and vomity gross. If it's made properly, that is. Lotta canned-in-syrup fruit, lotta whipped cream...

Have any of you had this issue, maybe not with schooling, but like...job wise? or any area of life? How did you get over it?

On the bright side I made myself some Ambrosia fruit salad. Am I the only one who loves that?

Yer not alone. I had this issue for a *prolonged* period of time, which resulted in my current state of still not having graduated. When you realize it's not just laziness, then at least you have the capacity to do something about it. Try to keep distractions to a minimum, I guess, and don't get caught up wasting your time on stupid shit like watching bad TV just to avoid everything else, etc. That's just a suggestion, not necessarily my advice for a "cure."

My college roommate's mom made her a huge vat of Ambrosia salad so of course I was all up in it. I'd never had it before so it was culinary revelation. Long story short, went out, drank my face off and ended up barfing orange chunks. Never touched the stuff again...which is a shame b/c it was so tasty (going down).

Not eating sugar and processed foods. It's a very simple solution and it only takes a couple of days to feel the difference, but it's VERY hard (for me) to get started.

Good luck and feel better!

Hekki, I totally agree the benefits of laying off sodapop and all the garbage sugary, chemically processed foods, especially w with my digestive issues. I notice I don't have any acid refluxe and don't wake up with my chest on fire and spitting up my own bile, when I restrict my liquids to water or something natural like that. I also find I have more physical energy in other areas.So that would defintely help some, but I also get in to days, like especially in the winter times, it gets much much worse for me regardless of what I do. And going to school, I just get in to this tired complacency where I'd just rather eat on the run than fix a proper meal. Which isn't good.

That baby is cute with the fatness! I love fat lil butterballs. My Nephew is a tiny little ham, and he literally looks like one of those newborn cabbage patch dolls.

Sidenote I need some motivational advice: I took a day off school because I was feeling a little blue( suffer from Dysthymic disorder as well as ocd) and just could not bring myself to do anything. It wasn't even the time, which is ridiculously early, because I was actually awake before that, I just couldn't bring myself to go. I felt so burnt out/listless/ and lacking of a fuck to give. And this isn't good. I need to study and I need to put forth effort, it's my semester before I graduate next fall, and honestly, I'm just at the point where if I actually did drop out, I'd have no regrets in doing so, just because I'm just so beyond unhappy. And Idk what to do to snap myself out of it.
