How are you feeling?

***finally takes chance to support Srijita!*** :)

What is troubling you right now?

Its just me I guess, I'm too quiet, I don't open up, too weak, too lazy, too irresponsible.

Maybe people are right, there's something wrong with me.
Thanks for asking, you're too nice. :)
 
Yep! I know the feeling. Maybe it would help to start journalling? That way you could (instead of saying "i'm going to bed early, now") plan to journal right before the time you go bed, in bed... And when you're done and tired, and already in bed and everything, you might feel more compelled to just sleep? Or if you read, you could plan to read 30 mins before your desired bed time maybe, but get ready/pjs/brushteeth before you read?

I'll have to try that. Tomorrow night, obviously, as it is 2:55am right now I'm wide awake. :rolleyes:

Could the Xtreme Mountain Dew have anything to do with it?

I have terrible sleep habits as well and almost never go to bed at the time I plan to!

I used to work a 1:30pm - 10pm shift at my last job. It would take 45 minutes to drive home, and them I would eat something and check my email or watch TV and it would be past midnight before I ever went to bed. I did this for the better part of three years. It's been a year and a half since I quit that job, but the pattern won't let me go.

And no, the Xtreme Mountain Dew has nothing to do with it. That was a one time thing. The regular and diet Mountain Dew might have something to do with it, though. ;)

Its just me I guess, I'm too quiet, I don't open up, too weak, too lazy, too irresponsible.

I haven't read back to your original post on this subject, but did someone tell you that you were these things? Did you kick him or her in the testicles or vagina? :D

Why are there times when I want a friend? Ugh it makes me sick. I hate feeling emotional. Yuck, so not me.

I don't think needing a friend or confidant is being too emotional. Humans are social creatures. Even those of us who are intensely shy crave interaction, support, love, and understanding.

I haven't been in this thread in a while and there are so many things to comment on, but I'm tired of copying and pasting and I don't want to reply 700 times in a row, so I'm sending wonderful, happy, penguin-y thoughts to all of you on here who are not feeling well. Just try and find something positive to focus on, even if it just one small thing. Also remember that the plural of octopus is octopi. Superfly out!

I can very much relate! I have a terrible time opening up to people because I'm afraid of being judged. I envy those people on here and in real life who are "open books" and can freely talk about their problems. I think people do relate better to others who are able to show their vulnerable side, difficult as it may be. It's a struggle though!

Those things arent true at all - I doubt you are irresponsible, lazy or weak. Those are implied messages that other people have tried to convince you of - which are simply not true (and besides EVERYONE is lazy, irresponsible and weak sometimes....)

I am quiet too - its not a crime, its nothing bad - its just who you are. There is need to feel guilty about the kind of person you are. Some people dont open up easily too - but most people do it because they have a tender heart - and it usually gets stomped on a little too frequently. It's not a bad thing either... it's merely a way to protect yourself - as we all do.

Instead, what I see - and what everyone else see I am sure, is a good looking girl who is kind hearted, intelligent, thoughtful, patient and empathetic. A person who gives so much to everyone and doesnt receive enough back. Dont doubt your worth as a person, because I am sure no one else here does... I just wish you could get that in real life.

Not just one but a couple of people told me these things.
And yes I did kick one of them in the testicles, okay not really. :p

I know what you mean, but its so hard for me sometimes to properly express what I feel (unless its something very strong) also I've found that whever I do 'open up' I usually get percieved as causing too much drama. So I prefer keeping it inside unless I'm comfortable with the person.

Thank you so much Kia, you always make me feel much better. :)

Knackered. Didn't sleep much at all last night. Depressed, I've got alot on my mind. Visiting my dad's grave tomorrow, so I'm quite emotional about that. And the fact I was taken off guard when my mum asked me this question the other day: "Why do you feel you can't have a conversation with me?".

My reply: "It could be because you seem to turn every rational conversation I try to have with you into an argument". (Not the only answer I could've given) Depressing, really. Wish our relationship was better. ::(:

It must be a really hard time for you now Graeme. I can only feel sorry for you. Do you think you will feel better once you've paid your respects?

Might feel little bit better after paying my respects. But I think once my counseling sessions start, I'll come to terms with the unresolved issues I had with my dad.

At the moment, I feel serene. In the middle of a thunderstorm here. I love it. :)
I've been sitting on my back patio drinking a few beers and watching it rain.

I hope your counceling sessions strart soon. You need to discuss these issues with someone who'll understand.
