Alison Blogs HereSemi-Dangerous When Thinking

OK, I guess in addition to smelling coolant, I’m a bit oversensitive to smells in general. Yesterday we were in the middle school auditorium for an orientation, and a woman came in and sat near me, and her body odor was overwhelming. To me, at least. I looked around, and it did seem like I [...]
And the anti-allergen filters are in. I have no way of smelling if there’s a difference, because over the last few days I’ve been overwhelmed by the smell of car air conditioner coolant. The smell is not real, olfactory hallucinations are another symptom of paxil withdrawal. However, if I wake up in the morning and [...]
I bet you all are almost as tired of hearing about this as I am of experiencing it. Last night I was catching up on forums, and some of the stuff I was reading about sleep aids was really bothersome, and I realized that I should probably try to condition myself to sleep without them [...]
I’ve been up for an hour and a half. It’s 7:13. I feel like death warmed over, And not only do I have stuff to do, but a long car trip, as well. We went up to the orthodontist in Bloomfield yesterday. Had lunch at Raymond’s on Church St. in Montclair. Went to the IKEA [...]
Last night, I made an overskirt with a pocket and a muffin cap to go with the Renaissance Faire costume. Carolyn does not want either. Audrey has an overskirt, and made herself a drawstring pouch for her outfit. I might braid myself a belt from some scraps and make a little pouch for cash, but [...]
I was really expecting bad news this week. Disappointed in my weight loss so far, despite sticking to the program assiduously, I happened upon some comments on paxilprogress that a lot of people found that their weight stayed on until they passed the one-year mark post-withdrawal. I kind of resigned myself to just plugging away [...]
So last night, I decided to take the sleeping pill before lying down, but my busy brain had other plans for me. The thoughts were tumbling all over each other. I tried concentrating on the hum of the A/C unit, but it was like trying to turn on a table fan to cover up the [...]
Paxil (known as PaxHell among people who quit taking it) is probably the worst thing in the world to me now. I’d even go back to smoking if it would help the withdrawal. Last night, I decided once again to give sleeping without a pill a try. Bad idea. You see, if I take a [...]
Got up and did an hour long walk. I’ve been exploring different routes in our little warren of developments, trying to find different ways of walking for an hour so I don’t get bored. So far, I haven’t gotten bored, although I did get lost once. (It’s a hazard of living somewhere where the roads [...]
I have this idea. One of the threads on an ADD forum I visit asked if non-ADD people could really, truly understand what it’s like. Most of us who know we have it are pretty certain they don’t, partly because of our difficulty dealing with people who have no tolerance, and sometimes because of the [...]
