| I've taken Prozac only for my extreme irritability to certain sounds. It didn't help me at all, it only increased my irritability. |

Now that jingle is stuck in my head.
I drink coffee all day. I prefer it over pop or plain water. |

| I am so glad to see that I'm not the only one. I'm cold all the time. Especially in the evening. I wear 2 pairs of socks most of the time and sleep with a blanket and sleeping bag at night. My nose gets cold too. |

| I would have to say my biggest problem is with certain sounds. Mainly certain people's voices. I don't know what it is about the voices though. It doesn't seem to matter if it's loud or soft, high pitched or low pitched, Male or Female, or if it's a person I like or dislike. Certain voices can cause... |

| Just this morning, the phone rang and it was a wrong number. The guy was looking for a part out of my father in law's salvage yard. I told him that I didn't have anything to do with the salvage yard but I would give him the number to call. He got snippy with me and said " You have the same last name... |

| I don't know how these shelters work, but I don't understand why they can't have volunteers there. If they're interested in getting their cats adopted by good families then wouldn't it make perfect sense to have someone come in a few days a week, and just spend time with the cats? From what I've see... |

| I can't stand phones. I have caller ID now so it helps a little to let me know who's bothering me with their call, but unfortunately, it doesn't always say who's calling. I don't like to use the phone unless I absolutely have to. |

I don't know how to cope because I can't seem to think straight in those conditions. Today being one of them. I was getting ready for a meeting and someone stopped by my house before I ... |
