Good! Good, too! I need to learn not to rush into this. I have scared away a couple of dates lately by simply being a bit too intense. Slowly learning the ropes of dating... That came out the wrong way. I can't edit it now but this is what I tried to write: "I find some strength in my own...

I can really relate, both to your story and this thing about "getting addicted" to the high. It's like my body+mind conspire to focus on something and that something requires *all* my physical and mental energy *all* the time. It's like a borderline personality thing. I don't have BPD but a...

I just wanted to say to you @JayCS - I have kept this sentence in my mind over the past 7-8 months since you wrote it. «I have not yet met my match». Thank you for writing that. I am in a much better place than I was only a year ago. There is so much that is good about my life now. I have...

Yes, that’s exactly it, a feverish non-fever. I also feel a slight pressure in my chest, as if I have breathing issues (but I don’t really). Overwrought also covers it, a sense of tiredness and constant stress without a clear source. Not really aching but still aching. More like a sense that I...

By the way... I previouslt posted some music here. I have a couple of new tracks for guitar here: soundcloud . com / turbotobben The tracks "Solsnu (Winter Solstice)" and "Lysne" are new, relaxing tracks if anyone would like some ear massage.

Thank you, Auriel. I just talked to a good friend on the phone and he urged to me to relax and give dating a rest. I'll try to find some peace and focus on the important things right now (ie, rest).

Thank you! I have not been very active here so far, but I agree. There is a lot of support to be found here. I think I try to tell myself that I am in full health again. But if I want to be healthy, I need to learn how to live with fibro, mood swings, depression and fear. Thankfully I have...

Thank you @cookiebaker. You are absolutely right. I guess I need to create daily routines that do not require a lot of activity, yet help me feel that something happens in my life. I think the fear of illness plus a sometimes very strong sense of loneliness after 23 years of marriage is forcing...

Brief update. I have been back at work 50% since January 2. and in one sense it has been good for me. I have really missed my colleagues and my social life during years of debilitating illness. But I notice that I struggle with finding my own limits. I had a couple of busy weeks, then some...

Long time no see! I have been through a veritable hell this summer/fall. First I got a diagnosis of Severe ME. Then I got covid-19. Then my wife left me after 23 years of marriage. All withing a single month. So since August I have tried my best to get up and about. And last week I spent two...

If anyone is interested I have a page on SoundCloud where I post my music projects. Go to soundcloud dot com and search for "turbotobben" (nickname from childhood). This is far from professional recordings, everything is made at home. But it's what I do when I have the energy to do it.

Thank you both! I’ll respond more when I feel more above ground… @Auriel - I thought about you the other day while I was listening to an old Norwegian band from the nineties. Have you ever listened to Velvet Belly? Check them out. I was a huge fan back then but they faded into oblivion before I...

Sorry for being absent again. I have been very ill lately. I mentioned in my first post that I am waiting for a diagnosis of ME/CFS. These past weeks I have simply been completely knocked out by it. I spend my days in bed mostly. I have absolutely no energy, constant brain fog, flu symptoms...

I have apparently been hit by a moderation alert since my long answer post was put in a moderation queue. Sweet.

I ran a pretty large science forum in the past and I recognize the problem with spam and hot-and-run posters @sunkacola. But I think moderation by denying all video as a content type is a questionable move as so much useful content nowadays is published as videos on various platforms. YouTube...
