I have a problem i think to much! (which makes me worry to much) I know we all need to and its normal to think but i do it to much. I have trouble sleeping because of this.

Does anyone else have this problem? And how do u deal with it?

My husband takes 5mins to go to sleep when we go to bed but it takes me well over an hour and anywhere between 2-3hrs. I cant help but lay there and think about the past present and future. Sometimes when i ask people what there thinking, they say nothing! I cant remember the last time i thought about nothing (im not even sure if this is possible)

People say to relax and switch off our brains but i dont know how!

Any ideas or suggestions?

Im only 21 and im affraid its going to make me crazy!

My thoughts just dont seem to stop!

I somehow got Strep Throat about two weeks ago. I've never had it before, I'm 18. I went to the doctor and he gave me Penicillin and Vicodin. I didn't take the Vicodin for very long but I took all of my Penicillin. I took my last Penicillin pills about three days ago but my throat stopped hurting about two days after I started taking them. But yesterday my throat started to hurt again. Today it feels exactly the same as it did when the Strep Throat started to develop and my tonsils are red and white. How and why is this happening if I took all of my medicine?

right after you have an orgasm? You all openly admit to thinking about sex pretty much constantly, and when you have it you fall asleep right afterwards . . .I just don't understand it. Please explain as detailed as possible what you physically feel like afterwards. It's really frustrating for some of us women who are just getting started and then . . .zzzzzzzzzzz.

I do not like to join groups. I don't like to tell my problems to strangers. But I have been told I should go to Al-Anon and it may help. Anyone have positive/negative experience with Al-Anon?
