I do not like confrontation. When I experience confrontation of any kind (lost directions, arguments, learning something new and difficult, aging parents, assuming responsibility for elderly relatives) I get defensive, experience stress and anxiety and feel so threatened that I feel I have to prove myself to redeem my hard earned qualities. Regarding arguments, I can present my side of an argument calmly without faltering. Afterwards, I obsess over the argument or stressful event so much that I cannot get over the feeling of being threatened even though I have not done anything wrong. I don't know why I cuss when I feel threatened, but it might have something to do with my parents cussing to get my attention when I did something wrong and to bring my attention to the thing that I did not do right. I witnessed my parents yelling at each other to resolve arguments and whoever screamed the loudest won the argument. I don't have a marriage like my parent's thank God. I don't think that my past experience is a good excuse for using aggressive language. However, I am extremely gratified by my use of it because it gives me a sense of power over an aggressor or confrontation, especially, if I can set that presumed power in stone — in writing. The problem is that I am embarrassed by it later, and I think that other people are embarrassed for me too.
I'd like to believe that my medications are helping me with the intensity of the irritability I feel under stress. But, as you can see, I either need a medication adjustment or a personality adjustment. Now, if your libido really does go bananas over a woman's dirty talk, Cookie and I will still respect you in the morning! And, there's more where that came from -

I went to the adult shop and won't name it as you will see why as you continue to read. Actuall, I went to the store before I posted my original post. This store is like a Best Buy only smaller. They have everything you can imagine, but probably don't want to. Anyway, dh and I went there a few months ago together so I thought I might feel comfortable going alone, and I knew exactly what I wanted so I could just get it, pay for it and get the hell out of there. No reason to linger.
There were many couples in the store, so I began to feel comfortable about being there and took some extra time to get a few other interesting items because our meds do make us flat and we do need to spice things up!!! The longer youv'e been married, the more meds you take, the more spice you need Lol Not really, but it gave me an excuse to buy more. Which by the way I have been manic and haven't been sticking to what's on the shopping list. That problem has been solved by a quiet little argument recently. TMI to continue....
I went to the counter to check out. The male checker (my age or older) begins to make comments on my purchases like "That's the best one you can get" "Yeah, this stuff is great" and finally "You need batteries. Do you want to buy them now, do you want to me to put the batteries in for you" F-ing A-HOLE!!! Don't even THINK about taking my pink bunny out of the package and putting your filthy hands all over IT. I told dh my story and he almost died laughing. And, it did not bother him at all that I went to the store alone although he was a little surprised I did.
Now, you know that male checker would have treated my dh differently had it been him at the counter. AND, you know we all members of the protected class, AND if I could prove that I was treated differently just because I'm a woman, just imagine the media all over that!!!! I, personally, think it's a much better lawsuit than hot coffee on the lap.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it LOL

Would you ever go into an adult store to alone to purchase your product (that's if you don't order online)?
If not, what do you think of women who do?View Thread

We Women are ALWAYS the most beautiful of the sexes regardless of our age. We Women are ALWAYS the smartest and cleverest of the sexes. And most of ALL We Women will ALWAYS and FOREVER MORE smell better than any man at any age - don't you know we ALWAYS smell better gf even without all of the lotions and potions. There is no creature or living organism ON EARTH that can even come close to comparing with THE LOVELINESS OF A FEMALE - EVER!!!!

Oh-h-h-h-, you flipped off a gas attendant and he thought that job was gonna be so easy LMAO. A song just popped in my head "Make someone happy" You'll have to take me for a drive in your 'red' mustang was it? I, intentionally, got a white vehicle thinking that I would be less likely to be pulled over by the police. Good thing they don't install breathlizers for panic attacks or I wouldn't make it out of my driveway heheheView Thread

I did feel so stoopid yesterday and embarrassed because I let my emotions get the best of me, and I released my anxiety out onto an innocent receptionist. The good news is my foot doctor didn't ca-ching me for the missed appointment. On another note: Do you think they let me off the hook because I listed my meds Celexa and Lamictal on my new patient questionnaire and backed it up with my attitude? lol Just thinking maybe I could continue to make that work in my favor!
Ya think

Thanks again for empathy and have a great weekend
Mercy
