Thanks Debby! (That is your name, right? So sorry if it isn't!).

I keep randomly bursting into tears over nothing lol it's ridiculous. Mostly only for a few seconds or minutes at a time but still. I think I'm just way overtired and need a nap. Or maybe some caffeine. And maybe some Excedrin but I'm sick of taking drugs. And I actually think my headache would have been gone today if I had gotten enough sleep. Maybe tonight.

I meant no offense, I think you and I are very much alike. Here's yet another hug.

Sorry, my reply to country boy was meant to say TONE lol difficult to tell tone on the internet. Not time. Stupid autocorrect. Time is easy to tell online. Just look at the top or bottom corner where the clock is hah

I have been with you on not knowing tone. It is especially hard with some because of writing style.
Other times the problem is when a post of yours sets of another persons soap box issue--often the reply has very little to do with you but goes onto the soap box topic.

This is not a situation like this but if it seems like someone is going after you or are trolling, then you can use the block feature on the site. It makes it easier to ignore attacks that way.

Great discussion and I am so happy that this was resolved so well!

Time to think about this weekends baking now!

@KDOGG331 Have you considered the possibility that you ARE suffering from clinical depression? Wanting to do stuff but not being able to get one's butt up to do them is one "sign". You WANT to, you tell yourself you HAVE to ... and you just can't. That is far different from procrastination. I have known both, OK on the depression at the moment, procrastination is genetic I think . Could be you have SADD, there are special lights to help with that.

BTW, I don't spend much time with my chickens either. Once in the morning to let them out of the barn, make sure they have food and water, check for eggs, give them their BOSS. Again in the evening at roost time, check for eggs, fill the feeder if necessary, give them some scratch. Since I'm home most days, I'll check for eggs a few times if it is below freezing. Don't want the girls doing all that work and then have the eggs frozen!

Yeah, I think I actually do have it and have struggled a lot with it in the past but I think I kind of tried to downplay it some because I didn't want it to look like I was being a baby, making excuses, or simply trying to garner sympathy? I don't know. I'm weird like that.

Plus my parents don't really know the extent and also my dad has always kind of not really understood or thought I was just lazy. I happened when I dropped out of my other school a few years ago.

And even with myself, I struggle a lot with whether I actually have anything or whether I'm just being lazy.

And especially cause I used to be way worse, crying all the time and doing stupid stuff, etc. And at one point I didnt brush my teeth for like a month, but then I've been better and mostly happy, etc. The last few years so I didn't think I had it anymore. But I think it's just showing in different ways now. Like for a while I was eating fast food almost daily. And my rooms a disaster, I stay up and sleep late, stuff like that where it's not really obvious. I've also gained a ton of weight the past year or two.

But anyway, I have it mostly all the time but it has seemed especially bad lately. I think it probably partly or mostly has to do with the lack of sleep and poor diet and no exercise but that's no different from the rest of the year. Maybe the cold and shorter days really is affecting it and I just never noticed?

But it's been unseasonably warm so idk.

I also have another, bigger problem though. My anxiety and OCD has been really bad for a while.

Anyway, I actually have been meaning to find a therapist but put that off all the time too. My professor mentioned someone at the beginning of the semester and I asked the name, he said to message and he'd send it but I never did message him. I think I'm going to ask again in person before the semester ends cause supposedly she's a good one and I definitely need one I think.

Or I could just actually try harder.

And yeah, I know I don't have to spend too much time with them but when i first got them I had visions of them being cuddly pets haha I think I'm going to start doing what you do though. I don't even always check for eggs lately. Though of course now they've been molting.

Anyways, I'm very sorry to ruin your anniversary and bring this up right now. I hope you have a nice dinner!

I meant no offense, I think you and I are very much alike. Here's yet another hug.

It's okay, I know you and the others didn't! And thanks!

I'm new here but this is for you...

Thank you!

I think you are very right! That is exactly what happens! And if it's a style of writing or word choice that maybe you're not used to, it can seem different than intended.

But thank you! I'm glad it ended so well too! And I'm actually glad you think it did too because I felt bad for my big post/getting so defensive.

And I don't know that I should be making many desserts! Lol depends what you're making.

Although I did just get some Halloween cupcake mixes at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago. They were only $1 after Halloween! Either that or it was 50 cents maybe. I got 4. Couldn't pass that up!!! Actually, it might have been a quarter? I think that's what it was actually cause I think my theory was 4 for a $1. Cause $1 each isn't that good of a deal. But my memory is so bad lately. Ugh. Hah

I baked a rum cake this weekend--It had a vanilla pudding packet in it. It was not low calorie though...It was very tasty
