Ouch! I hate needles, too. But it's only for a while. I hope you heal up and get better real soon. Do something fun so you don't think about it, ok?

Post: RE: Freaking out!

I've broken off all contact with my family. I just can't deal with them anymore. I'm so numb when we are together, and then have so much anger surfacing later, I don't need that - can't handle that - ...

Thanks, that was a good one. Not one of those trite "5 things that will change your life" lists. It's a really good list. I used to be a total news junkie, now I don't even pay attention to that stuf...
