In a bad mood? come here and rant till you feel better

[ShadowCatSoul]

I've come to the conclusion that a group I study with allows fluffyism to grow instead of nipping it at the bud. They allow the concept of solitary Wica and say that Silver Ravenwolf is an ok source. I want to explain that I don't think that's necessarily right, but they're my friends and I don't want to risk making them angry at me.

You could always start with "Nah, I never could really get into Ravenwolf, it really looks like her books are more to make money". You don't have to outright say "Ravenwolf sucks, it's like the Twilight of witchcraft."

Or, something like "oh, strange, here in this book, it says something different than what she says."

She sounds like a truely amazing person, Tea.

She's the person who taught me to be a good person.

She couldn't have done a better job.

Letting them know I would see as doing them a favor. Unless they like living a lie. In which case I wouldn't want to be friends with them anyway. *shrugs* I tend to be not very forgiving of stuff like that if they've been told better but are too stubborn to listen.

Not really. I found that even the flames rejected it. ninja

I had a post about my bad mood here, but now it's on my blog where it belongs. >.>

Can anyone tell me - does a vitamin-D supplement really help "settle" anxiety attacks? I've heard that some people feel much better and better managed while taking vitamin-D supplements. I really don't want to be on anti-depressants. sad

I am not a doctor, nor a nurse, nor a professional. This is my opinion based on books I've read for classes I have taken in preparation for Nursing School. So if you think I'm bullshit, talk to a credentialed, licensed health care provider.

Have you thought about getting you vitamin D blood levels tested? The "norm" is 5mcg or 200 IU, though, according to WebMD.com, the normal blood level ranges as wide as 30-74 nanograms per milliliter. From what I know, Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so you need to be careful on your dosages. The lethality is really quite high (don't have the exact numbers on hand), but all the same, don't megadose.

What other kinds of things have been going on? I mean in your diet, sleep patterns, exercise, etc.?

If you want something quick and easy though, I get panic attacks, and one of the things that really helps is to identify three objects around you and focus on them for a second or two, then touch three different tactile substances, and take three deep breaths. Sometimes I have to do this is a couple cycles.
I just learned this today, but apparently, it has to do with the corpus callosum and the idea that a painful or stressful event is stored in one hemisphere of the brain. Basically, by using both hemispheres, it helps lodge the "memory" out. Whether or not this is true, I have no idea because I heard it from my therapist, but I haven't seen it in any articles, but the process helps. Even if it is as simple as:
Book, chair, clock; jeans, table, hair; breathe, breathe, breathe.

Knowledge only belongs to those with the cunning and conviction to wrest it from the cosmos.
If they desire ignorance, or if they are satisfied with what they have, let them stay with it. Truth is for those who love it, those willing to bleed for it. The rest can keep their tawdry fiction.

I'm sorry. I know that it's a hard decision, and it hurts, but by putting his needs before yours you show just how much you love him and how much he means to you. I wish you both peace.
