No Pain, no gain?

Started this entry yesterday, but got so frustrated at trying to type on the online version of LJ on my tablet that I just gave up. I was just too tired and in pain to get up and get the laptop. The LJ app has not allowed me to access my journal for the last couple of weeks. I've sent tons of feedback, uninstalled, reinstalled.. blah blah, but so

Pain, anxiety, depression...they seem three peas in my pod, although I've never has an anxiety attack, I did give myself a migraine one. (One was enough, no man is worth that! I was that ah ha moment when I realized I was the one doing all the emotional work in the relationship.) It's more twinned with depression than pain. Ever since I was a little girl, I ask myself, "Okay, what's the worst thing that can happen?" My mother died when I was four, (breast cancer), so that set a high threshold. More recently, I find I avoid "adventures" that I wouldn't have given a second thought when I was in my 20's. Since my 20's nearly killed me, this feels extremely reasonably! Seriously, I'm more cautious than I want to be, it feels excessive; it's because of a feeling of vulnerability that's come with age and disability. I'm working on letting go, being more trusting without being stupid

I have a long history of anxiety, depression and Panic Attacks and like you a high threshold. In 1968, I was newly married and on the day I found out I was my pregnant my husband was killed in a car accident. Never been the same since. My 20's were wild, it's a wonder I survived.It was years before I had any therapy

I love most gender-based sci-fi but I could not get through Left Hand of Darkness. I think I read a few chapters and gave up.

I finished it finally, but really it sucked for the most part.
