And I’m nervous as hell. It’s a shoulder operation…all the tendons, ligaments, etc are loose and there might be torn cartiladge.
If this goes wrong and I lose too much range of motion, I won’t be able to pursue the career I want.
good luck.. i know how the night before surgery feels
Thanks. I know I’m over reacting to it, but I just keep thinking, what if what if what if something goes wrong and I lose range too much range of motion. I want to be a career fire fighter one day and that would be impossible without full function of my arm. What’s worse is it would be a lifestyle change because the operation is on my right arm and I’m right handed

Some of you might remember my thread last week. I’ll answer any questions if you wanna know anything.
Basically, we’re trying to see if we can get the spark back. I’ve been doing things differently that past couple days and she has noticed.
I’m making this topic cause I’d like to hear from others how they got the spark back in their relationship. Any good stories? Any stories how your relationship was pretty much over but you turned it around? How did you win your SO back?

what do you guys think of the athletes in the video and their struggle?
sometimes I think that depression is best defined when the love for life is gone.
Seeing all those athletes crying with anguish or victory reminds of a UFC interview with Forrest Griffin and how he was talking about how after he lost one of his fights he pretty much sobbed like a baby. one of the reporters asked if that was a difficult thing to go through. he responded: "I worked so hard for something I loved, and I found something worth crying about… and I’m lucky"

Can anyone tell me what the symptoms of codependency are? Is it equivalent to "buyer’s remorse" - when feeling good about doing something only lasts for a little while and then you become resentful? Does it only cover emotional needs or physical ones as well?
How many of you have considered the fact that 90% of what you do and how you life goes seems to be based on the unwritten societal norm? Society tells us that we go to high school, go to college, get a job, get married, work till we are 65 or so, retire, and finally annoy the younger generations with long stories about how life used to be and suck up social security money. Those that dieviate from this plan are considered lazy, strange, and so on. We are told by those around us what we should like, what we should do for fun, who we should hang out with.

Some of you probably remember my situation. Cliffs are that I my girl and I have been together for 3 years and we have 1 year old daughter. The past 2 years things have been a rollercoaster for us. Example– things are going great, things die down, things get great, things die down. For the past few months I’ve been focused on other things and have been neglecting her. I’ve lied to her about stuff, money mainly. Trust is gone. Due to me neglecting her, she’s met someone new. Nothing has happened between them, but she has told me there is an attraction and interest. Last week we had a big talk and she wanted to end it. She said that we’re only close friends and she figured I felt the same way.

The Lexapro has worked great for my anxiety, but the weight gain and the lack of sex drive just isn’t worth it. I’ve learned alot about my fears and my anxiety in the last few years and I’m feeling pretty confident about tapering off of my Lexapro and quitting completley. I’m just worried about all the nasty side effects when going off these meds.
Has anyone else managed to escape the grips of the meds, or am I just nuts
Well I was never on Lexapro but I eased myself off Zoloft and have been great ever since. I too worked on what was causing me anxiety and that helped greatly.

As most of you probably know, my g/f of 7 years and I broke up. It’s been a year and I’m still not doing so well. I mean, I go out every now and then, I haven’t really dated anyone and I am very lonely. The weird part is that I’m not really looking to date anyone. I’m not over my ex yet and I miss her a lot. Is there something wrong with me that I still think about her all the time (even after a year of breaking up). We are still friends and I’m distancing my self from her. She can tell and it’s bothering her a lot but I just keep any conversations very short and to the point.

My fiancee has lately been having severe stomach/pelvic pains. First time was a month and a half ago. After a day in the waiting rooms, the doctors eventually said she probably had a cyst that burst, and sent her home with some tylenol 3s.
A few days later, she still felt sick, but wasn’t in much pain. Fastforward until Tuesday, she was in extreme pain all morning. When I woke up and found out, I took her to the hospital again. We spent about 14 hours total waiting, eventually to have the doctors say the same thing (cyst).

How do you tell that you are in love with your significant other? should it be instant love or can love build into true love over years?
you dont have to ask yourself.. you will know i know it’s not the answer you’re looking for, but keep trucking
There is no such thing as instant love. Only instant attraction or instant infatuation. Love has to build over time.
I made a thread in the Vag a long time ago about love "growing" and how it tends to be a far deeper love than the bullshit "love" people claim after 3 weeks with someone; when they swear they know "everything" about a person, when in reality they’ve only scratched the surface.
