    About Me

    The BEST things in life ARE free: The love of your spouse; having your health; the precious look of a newborn. I work in management for car dealer group; married 1+ yr. to the best wife in the world! Love to ski, listen to music, write, watch sports (baseball & football are my favorites). HUGE Phish fan. Saw nearly 30 concerts before they prematurely disbanded! :( "Can't this wait 'til I'm old? Can I live while I'm young!) I hate "fake" people; MUCH prefer down to earth, tell it like it is people! Don't take it personally if I delete your hugs or messages. I only keep my wife's. It's not cause I hate ya! Or maybe it is? LOL

    Interests

    writing, skiing, football, baseball, college basketball, music, doing things I probably shouldn't do or people tell me I can't do. Being around my close friends, my nephews, and my PUNKINBUTT!!!

    • Open Stress Management

      Just like anyone else, have alot of things going on in my life all at once. Work, family, medical problems, wife has medical problems from time to time. Nothing anyone else doesn't go through. Just would like to see what other people to reduce stress, to see if what I do is normal/working.

      Treatments

      Anger Management Working / Worked
      Went to a therapist about a year ago for this, and he gave me ideas to help relax and divert my anger. Breathing exercises, "going to my happy place", etc.
      Music Working / Worked
      Love listening to music. Live music (especially Live Phish, of shows I've been to. Brings me to a peaceful happy place that I've actually been!)
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Used to work out at a gym alot. It was a great place to take out frustrations/stress. Medical problems are currently keeping me from joining again.

      Wifey has it, and wants me to learn all about it so I can help. Obviously I want to help! :)

    • Open Anxiety

      I don't get regular anxiety attacks, but had one while driving back in September 2007, and get nervous in certain situations that I can probably control. Want to know what I could do to help that.

      Treatments

      Breathwork Working / Worked
      Whenever I get nervous about something or worked up, my wife always says "honey, breath! Take a deep breath!" Any it usually works! :)
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I try to stay positive. Sometimes it's tough (especially lately with my back problems).

      My wife suffers from it, and I am part of the cause of her being depressed. I need to know how to help her out of it, and ideas to keep me from being a cause! HELP! I love my wife.

      Treatments

      Crying Not Working
      Just makes things worse for me
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Doesn't always work because well, let's say, I don't have a way with words, and I usually make things worse.
