I know the feeling. I never realized how much that messes you up until I started spending more time with other friends' families and seeing how affectionate they were. My parents were never the hugging or kissing type. Rarely did I ever get either from my parents. They never said "I love you"...

That's a lot to handle at 22 and I can definitely see why you feel bad. I had similar experiences even in my teens. Dealing constantly with family members putting me down on top of the regular stresses of school and getting bullied there too, just minus the babysitting and having to do...

Moving out IS stressful, and it's even more stressful when you have another property to care for until it's sold. I'm in the process of that right now. We moved nearly a month ago and within that time my husband has been working long hours away from home, either coming home late or not at all...

Well in that case I'd be getting everyone's attention and it's a little too cold here for that! :LOL:

I've been feeling better the last couple of days. Got some things done I've been itching to do that initially I thought I couldn't do. (thanks anxiety) I also have a meetup thing scheduled for next week with a potential employer. I'm slightly freaking out about it because I have no idea what to...

Certainly feels that way doesn't it? :(

- Get over it - That's not what I said (when you misunderstand what someone says, or they say it wrong and make it sound like it's your fault; it's such a rude statement that I cannot stand) - Choose to be happy/positive! (A friend has been saying this lately. I know she means well, but jesus...

I've been trying to open up more about how I've been feeling. I always bottle things up, or have been lately. I'm just so frustrated, I feel trapped like I can't do anything. I try to explain this, but it seems like who I've been opening up to doesn't want to hear it. Leaving me the impression...

I'm a good writer for grants and research papers. I'm straightforward and tend to be blunt. I don't think I could be a creative writer, although I did well with creative writing assignments too back when I took a feminist literature class in college as an elective course.

Frustrated

I remember a few years ago I stopped at the gas station on my way home from work. It was only 1pm, but I had been up since 3am and had to go into work early that day and I hadn't gotten a good night sleep prior, so of course I was exhausted. I unscrewed my gas cap and stood at the pump pressing...

I'm feeling lonely today. I'm dying to get back out and find a job again. I can't stand being in a house all day, at the same time when I do go out all I want to do is immediately go back home because I get that heavy feeling sinking in my chest and I feel like I can't breathe.

Funny, I was just thinking about Russian Blues today and wondering if I'd ever get one. I've only ever met one, way back when I volunteered at a shelter in high school. She was so pretty, and so gentle. (Bless the person who adopted her!) Those cats seem to have such a calm demeanor, or at least...

I'm finding myself reminiscing a lot today. I miss having the bond I used to have with my two previous border collies. I miss having that bond with a dog, and of course I miss those two so much I still get upset thinking about them. Don't get me wrong, I have my two cats and I love them to...

I keep worrying about the future. I have so much to do today as well, so I really just need to focus on that. One day at a time is what I need to keep telling myself.

I think this is interesting. I'm a little different. I am much more open and social with those one-on-one. I can't start conversations well, but I can carry them. I can do very small groups and outings if we all have something to do and if I know at least one person. This includes food...

Tired. The last several days have been stressful with new changes. I've had to go about them pretty much alone, which had left me frustrated and scared. It's not that I didn't want this, I just wanted to go through this with someone else by my side. I guess he's still by my side, just not at...

I remember having situations like this. Don't realize what you're saying and it's like you completely dissociate while your mouth is still running, and then apparently nothing you said made sense even though you have no recollection of what you even said in the first place. I have found what...

That's true. I was without internet (and phone) for nearly 5 days before the internet company finally came and got it all set up. While I hated having no form of communication with anyone, I definitely didn't miss Facebook or the rest of the digital world. I really just missed being able to read...

To think one of my life goals will be completed this weekend, feels surreal to me. There's an inkling of self-deprecation at the back of my mind that wants to say I don't deserve this. That this is just pure privilege that I didn't work for and one of the only reasons I have it is out of pure...
