Did you call the police?

My Mother once had a male "friend" who would constantly try to get "up skirt" shots with his camera and post pics of my family on facebook. I berated him very loudly at a family get together and stated that his camera was going "where the sun doesn't shine" and in pieces if I ever saw him with a camera again. Then my DH threatened him as well, and that was the end of that.

Have you told them you don't want them posting photos? Whenever someone posts a photo of me and I don't want it on Facebook, I ask them to remove and they always take it down. If you warn people ahead of time, they may not post at all?

So sorry that happened to you. Whether you have a legit reason, or even no reason, people should not post photos without your wishes.

That's what I don't freaking understand...they can post their own pictures in their birthday suites for all I care. They have no right to post others pictures (especially without permission). I have legitimate reason to not show my face on FB. I am still very afraid of my stalker. Until you are a victim of a real life stalker you'll never understand. I didn't talk to many people about this bc I don't want them to worry, not everyone in my family knew about this.

Nope he just ignore my message. Will deal with him later.

Anyway, I got bigger problem at hand right now...waiting for my Ativan to kick in. (It doesn't seem to be working).

Maybe your body getting used to it? Can you take half?

[Decaf]

This is my emergency med. I don't take it often only when I have a full panic attack. It usually work but today I am just too stressed out. I'll wait a few hours and take some clonazepam.

A phrase often heard in prisons...

[Candini]

I don`t get it?

I find ativan stronger than clonaz. Ativan made me fall asleep instantly. Clonazepam works wonders for my anxiety.

Oh, you are SO baaaaad, lol!

Ativan can calm me down but never strong enough to make me fall at sleep. Trazadone can though. I guess everybody is different.

[padyofurniture]

I found ativan didn't help as a sleeping pill but the trazadone does. Ativan worked max 3 days for me. I don't remember if it was clonazepam I was taking or another similar named one. I weaned myself off them and haven't had need of them since. (Knock on wood.)

[Decaf]

Trazodone can knock me out in less than 20 minutes...but can give me only about 3 hours of sleep...then I have to rinse and repeat (take some more). It sucks bc you'll need to take it the next day in order to fall at sleep (vicious cycle).

Ativan and clonazepam are good for anxiety/panic. I've been wrestling with this demon for almost my entire life. As for my insomnia problem it's almost 20 years now...sometimes I just wonder how I can still be alive from chronic insomnia, chronic anxiety, PTSD, stress and OCD and depression. I kind of able to manage depression and OCD but anxiety is so damn hard to counter.

[padyofurniture]

For me, it's been around 30 years with chronic insomnia. I do notice memory lapses and sometimes even trying to think of an ordinary word escapes me. I find with the trazadone now that if I wake at around 5am or so, I could remain awake. Doesn't happen all the time thankfully.

I was outside shovelling at 9:30 this morning and this nasty lady(literally every time I'm outside with the kids and see her she complains to me about something about our property or how dd isn't properly dressed, or dh's truck) who lives on our street, is out walking her dog. She comes up to me, gives me the dirtiest look and says "It's about time you shovelled, I was going to go home and call bylaw on you."
Meanwhile I'm shovelling maybe two cm of snow that fell over night(I shovelled twice yesterday, the last time being at 4:30 yesterday), its still freaking snowing which means I don't even have to have my sidewalk cleared until twelve hours after its stopped snowing, and the people beside us never shovel and have at least foot of snow on their sidewalk but she's going to complain over two cm that she can clearly walk over?

[Frugalbigmama]

Nice neighbour. wow

Oh man, I would not take that. In person I'm the politest person you can meet, even when a person crosses the line of accepted social norms I try to smooth things over. Unless it's too far, and what you described is too far. She had zero right to speak to you like that. I'd have told her in no uncertain terms where to go and just how to get there.
