I get kinda nauseous when I see blood.

Thanks for the info, guys. I just figured I'd ask because one of the things I'm studying is heart rate in phobias, and usually heart rate speeds up and the person has panic attack-like symptoms of intense fear. For that category, though, a lot of times heart rate speeds up at first but then slows down and blood pressure drops, which causes fainting. It's kind of a fear vs. disgust thing, maybe.

Anyway, enough about that. Although it does remind me that I'm scheduled to donate blood on Wednesday...

I never would've known that!

I was just reading about everyone's phobias and panic attacks. I don't know if it would help in those kind of extreme situations, but I have a breathing exercise I use when I'm anxious. It really helps.

You put the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth, up against that little mound of flesh, and keep it there during the whole exercise. Close your mouth and breathe in to a count of four, hold your breath for a count of seven, then form your lips into an O and blow out to a count of eight. It doesn't matter how fast or slow you count, as long as it's in a consistent rhythm. Go through the steps four times.

This is from yoga, I believe, but I got it from one of Dr. Andrew Weil's books.

Skittles, that's exactly how it happens for me, but for all needles. As long as I concentrate on squeezing my hand, I'm ok. That's why I hate it when people talk to me. If something happens that's not supposed to, then I get really freaked out and panicky.

*WARNING - bad needle stories*

I was getting a CAT scan, and the IV tube fell out of the needle, that scared me.
Another time the lady was talking to me, and missed the friggin vein, and had to use my other name. And then, the b*tch, who I've obviously have not forgiven, had the nerve to say "No wonder you have needle issues". No ****.

Does the tongue being there actually help, or is it something to focus on? I will try that the next time I need it.

How are you doing on the book?

raaaawr. Someone began yet ANOTHER thread about secret #5.

At this point, I just can't help but think that IF it's what the "devil's advocate" person said has any truth, I don't get why Raúl would have a problem with me online but not in person.

Mehhhh.

I hate needles. If I don't watch, I do better, but... ugh.

Alright, now I'm popping out of this thread since I'm lost..

I'll be back another day when I feel adventurous.

Chloe, that probably wouldn't help me. I have stupid wires on the back of my teeth, I'd end up cutting my tongue with the pressure I'd be putting on it.

Emcee, I saw that secret and kinda felt insulted myself.. especially by some of the stuff they were saying about bwwers.

Em, just don't dwell on it. I'm sure that there is no truth about it. I think it's just the maker that has a problem with it, because they are jealous that you've met him. :)

If I recall JL, the yoga rationale has something to do with connecting chakras, but the focus idea makes sense too.

I've read a lot of the book and it's fascinating and very moving. Now I want everyone to hurry up and get it so we can discuss it in a coherent way.

This afternoon, I was definitely laughing over it. At least I can laugh about it, right? But when another opportunity for someone go be like "he hates her" comes up, then it gets on my mind again.

Chloe, you're talking about Without You?

Me too, Chloe.

Just drive here and I'll lend you my copy. I hate not talking about it with all of you! :)

Since when did they start censoring us?

#2265

re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part six

Posted: 2/11/06 at 9:58pm

They've always censored certain swear words. PricK, pUssy, SH*T and a few others always get starred out.

How is pricK a swear word? I know it means a rude or uptight person...but I wouldn't consider it swearing.

What if I wanted to tell you all that my **** cat pricked his paw on something sharp in his litter box while he was ****ting? They would censor me and that'd be just plain unfair. :)

You can get around the censors by using accent marks on the vowels in the "bad" words

#2269

re: The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part six

Posted: 2/11/06 at 10:04pm

Eh, I just edit out a vowel myself. Less effort involved, and the point still gets across.

I'm just annoyed because the FAQ said swear words were allowed, but not to go overboard. I don't think I've been particularly a pottymouth on this board.

Anyone want to let this poor girl stuck in small town Ontario read their copy?

You can't even type the wine c****nay, because it has h-a-r-d-o-n in the middle, which is absolutely ridiculous.

I would send you my copy, but I think it would arrive a little late.

Heehee. C****nay. At least now I know how to spell it.
