nervous disposition

Ypp said I think on another thread that you use cannabis and alcohol although not an alcoholic. Might there be a connection?

I can remember the trembling. You worry that someone will notice. You can't enjoy anything.

I say, thank God for fluoxetine. I've never looked back to those awful times since I started taking it. I am very lucky that a little, fairly innocuous, capsule could turn my life around the way it did.

Soutra why don't you leave this alone? You don't know what you are talking about.

I take it you have been to see the doctor about this Trevor? And that your mum has too.

There are other diseases that make you shake.

Yes I Did Soutra.
But I gave up drugs and alcohol and have been clean for over 20 years and I feel so much better for it.
No more relying on tenants beer and so called spliffs to calm my nerves.
I Doubt there is a connection between my drug and alcohol misuse though?
Because I am aware that my nerves were just as bad before I started using drugs and drink.
I guess the years of drinking and smoking didn't do me good health wise of course
but there must be a reason why I have this nervous disposition?
As far as I know no one else in my family has it so it may not be something that runs in my family?
what I do know is that I hate being like this soutra.
best wishes

oh yes jinglebells
many times over the years.
but none of them have been able to understand why I am like this?
as for mummy, she sees her doctor regularly for her diabetes and other health problems.
she is a strong minded lady and so despite her illnesses she does her best to keep going.
I wish I was as strong minded as her.
but unfortunately I tend to worry Too Much and Hide away rather than face things.

SORRY! I thought you were ignoring me. And it's not easy to talk about some things.

Sorry again.

You don't need to understand why you are like it. You just need the right medication from the doctor.

I have taken propananol for my nervous problem Jingle-bells.
I find that it Helps but only to a certain extent.
I t doesn't stop the physical shaking completely.
and Yes the trembling does make me feel even more self conscious Than normal and I try hard to control it.
for example if you saw me and spoke to me you would notice i would start touching my neck or my cheek and all because I wouldn't want you to notice me trembling.
it's a terrible way to be and live from day to day Jingle.

Thats OK Jingle.
No offense taken.

Good.

its also cause i'm still very shy despite my age and experience.

I agree.
I know now that spliffs and tenants certainly ain't the right medication thats for sure.

I think propanalol just works "physically" - by keeping your heart rate steady.Fluoxetine works on the neurons in your brain. The end result is that you have more serotonin sloshing around, which is calming.

I can remember Trying The flu Med Jingle.
but they made me feel drowsy for days after so I'm reluctant to use them anymore.

Yes. Shyness is a bugbear.

Oh, that's a shame.

Well That's something I didn't know before
so thank you for enlightening me Jingle.
even now as I sit typing I can feel myself trembling.
and my head nodding as usual.
I think this is why I'm so sensitive and I worry what people will think of me if they notice me trembling?
Just seeing myself in the bathroom mirror everyday is painful.
the only thing I feel good about is that people say I look young for my age and That I'm cute ; 0 )
I just wish I didn't have this nervous problem and wasn't so shy.

I made the mistake of trying to be like my dad and so I would try to put on this serious don't mess with me look
but that was just a Front Jingle
The truth was I was so shy and insecure behind it all...and very unhappy.
I think I learned too late that it is OK to be me nerves and all.
after all no one is perfect.
even the great jazz drummer buddy rich wore a wig to cover his baldness.
and when I think about that now I wonder why he didn't except his physical flaws and just carry on with his career rather than hiding it behind a wig?
I can only presume it was due to male pride or even a bit of shyness somewhere?

Oops pardon me for asking jingl! Is anybody here an expert on alcohol and cannabis abuse then?

Trevor

Maybe a mature student.
