Feeling pretty drunk. Feeling like an asshole. But also feeling like I am greatly privileged. I really do have a lot going for me. But I'm stuck in my stupid fucking mind and insecurities more than I might care to admit. I could have been born in the midst of WW1, or even worse, of fighting age...

Hi grapevine. Looks like you are making progress. At the very least, you are taking steps toward progress! 😀

I feel isolated from people a good portion of my existence. It's like I can't really seem to say the right things. Or people don't get what where I'm coming from. It's like my brain is wired differently and my perspective is so different from the people I interact with, that I exclude myself...

I feel the same. Though I do like the sentiment of the post, Lily. :)

Yeah, I've looked into CBT but never quite took the plunge. I shall reconsider it. Thanks. :)

I've been waking up lately bombarded by negative thoughts. Literally a minute after waking up. I go through my little morning routine followed by these thoughts, and continue onto my work, my responsibilities, with them. They are always focused on how I've hurt others, been hurt by others, or...

Btw, I was in no way referring to you as a "weirdo." I was using it in a general sense, and referring the word to myself more than anything. Bad choice of "us." I started to write something clarifying my meaning behind what I originally said (weird people thinking differently), but as I began...

I think--at least I'll speak for myself--that my perspectives on life are just so wildly different from most normal people, that "being myself" is setting myself up for disaster. So I will never be able to "naturally" fit in. I don't mean that in a "misunderstood genius" way btw if that's how...

Feeling like I'll never properly fit in.

I am almost certain that no one in my life knows how depressed I really am. Broaching that subject seems like an awkward thing to do with people I'm close with. I feel like they won't understand or think I'm embellishing my feelings. Don't even get me started on mere friends and acquaintances.

Glad you are seeing the forest for the trees. That's a lot of plusses.

I think you're taking the right steps by going back to school and quitting alcohol. I think this will not only benefit you, but your kids and fiancé as well. Additionally, I think adjusting to life without booze will take time too; there seems to be a learning curve that comes with a drop of...

Hope you and your husband managed to dodge it. Wishing your sister-in-law the best!

Yah, guess I'm sorely depressed again.

I feel I'm not enough, nor will I ever be enough.

I've been such a goddamned grinch lately.

I love it when I'm out and about driving like a perfectly good driver and an ignorant fool gets mad at me because he doesn't know the rules of the road. Study the fucking driver handbook, dummy.

I was going to write that earlier when I was feeling a little more grumpy. Now I'm feeling more charitable, so, yeah. I guess people are alright.
