So, Ok, I finally watched an episode of "Jon and Kate plus eight" the other night. I have to say that I did not like the way Kate was treating her children. It was like she was running a daycare and they were other peoples children. The episode really felt like it was all about how great Kate is. She's not that great.
I follow Perez Hilton on Twitter. The other night he drunk tweeted a shout out to his dog. I was like OMG Perez Hilton is so lame. I mean he talks trash about almost every celebrity and then he drunk tweets. Can you say loser? Sometimes his tweets are entertaining and that is why I follow him. I just think it's time someone talks trash about something stupid he's done.
Ok, that's my randomness for tonight. Maybe there will be more tomorrow. Until then, Peace, Love, and Laugh. LOL......

Living with GAD
Looking at me you wouldn't think anything was wrong with me. I'm a little short and kinda skinny. Other than that I am pretty normal. I've had GAD or Generalized Anxiety Disorder since I was about 9 or 10. I wasn't diagnosed till 2008. GAD affects people in different ways. A few of the symptoms are nausea, nervousness, insommnia and panic attacks. GAD is defined as excessive, uncontrollable and often irrational worry about everyday things.
The thing that got me diagnosed was panic attacks. People who have never had a panic attack have no idea how bad they are. When I first started having them I would get that feeling you get when you think something bad is going to happen, sort of a sinking feeling. It would last for a few minutes and then go away. Slowly they started getting worse. I would get that same feeling, but I would get nauseated too. In the last 6 months or so they got even worse. I would get that scared sinking feeling, then I would get all shakey, then I would have hot and cold flashes. All that would be happening and I would feel nauseated too. Eventually I would throw up and feel better. That's a pretty good description of the worst one I've ever had.
After you have a panic attack you feel completely drained. You just want to lay around and do nuthin but watch tv. Panic attacks are nothing to joke about. They are a serious issue to deal with. You have no control over them. A lot of the time there is no warning. Panic attacks can be pretty intense. After you've had one you always worry that you'll have another one. I'm glad I'm finally being treated for panic attacks.
I never thought I would be greatful for a medication, but I am. I'm not going to tell you the name of my medication because it doesn't matter what it is called as long as it helps me. I take it every morning after breakfast. It has to be taken with food because it could upset my stomach. My medication makes me feel calm and relaxed. It seems to me that it boosts my confidence a little bit. Sometimes it makes me sleepy.
Would you know what to do if someone said to you,"I'm having a panic attack!!"? Most people don't know what to do. The thing that helps me the most is being able to talk to someone to take my mind off of it. They only last 2-3 minutes, but those 2-3 minutes can feel like 20-30 minutes sometimes.
I hope you learned something from me and about me that you didn't already know. The next time you see me don't be afraid to say HI. I'm a normal human being just like everybody else. I just have a little glitch. Don't worry, you can't get GAD from hugging someone. It's a genetic thing. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day. :)

Hey everybody,
How's it going? My upper scope went well. It went so well that I'm not on acid reflux medicine anymore. Yay!! Still looking for a job. Hopefully I'll find one soon. There's not much else going on. I really think everyone is over reacting to Miley Cyrus's performance on the Teen Choice Awards. I've watched it and didn't see anything wrong with it. She was just being a 16 year old girl. The pole was a poor choice, but she didn't dance with it. She was holding on to it so she wouldn't fall off the cart. When the cart stopped she fell against the pole. I think it was more for balance so she wouldn't fall off the cart and get hurt. As for her outfit, I've seen girls her age wear worse. Honestly, her bra showing on the sides is no different than wearing a thong so it sticks out the top of your pants. Miley is definitely not the next Britney. Anyways, that's my opinion. What do you think? Later, Kitty

Tuesday
I'm still looking for a job. I applied for a job at an employment agency. I hope I get the chance to interview for it. That would be awesome. Not having a job is boring. Yesterday I rocked out on the drums playing Rock Band 2 on my Playstation 2. It's good to relax every once in awhile. I was watching Jimmy Fallon earlier. I love his show. It's so awesome. Now I'm watching Craig Ferguson. He's funny too. I plan to go to bed when this show is over. I had grilled fried chicken for supper tonight. Now my burps are fried chicken flavored, Ugh. Hopefully after monday that is all fixed. I'm having an upper scope. I've had one done before. It's just time to check things out make sure I'm still working right. 6 more days without my stomach meds. Hopefully I can hold out that long. Doing good so far. Well, that's all for now. Talk to you guys tomorrow.

A CoolOrangeKitty Saturday
Today I got to eat yogurt. That is my favorite snack. When I finished I roamed around in search of the perfect place for a nap. It's a tie between my mommy's lap and my bed in the sun. I decided to soak up some rays while I get my nap on. The sun is so warm that I get too hot. I layed in the middle of floor right in everyones way. Time for another nap. While I'm laying there I think to myself,"I'm starving". I stretch and then go looking for my mommy. "Mommy, Where are you?""I'm hungry." There you are in the kitchen. "Follow me mommy""My food is this way." This food is so good. I am so stuffed. Excuse me while I make a pitstop at the litter box. Ok, all done. What's that smell? Ewww, I've got to run away from that. See ya. Whew, that was close. Well, it's time for my evening nap on mommy's lap. Good Night and Sweet Dreams :)
