How are you feeling?

[theslowesthand]

I don't know what to do... My stepfather keeps being nasty and picking on my 16-year-old sister. For the past week he's been calling her a little asshole and mocking her. Confronting him about it only makes him angry. He's being nasty to my mother, too. And he's just been verbally and emotionally abusive to everyone in general lately, switching his anger from one person to the next. I hate him hate him hate him so much and I honestly wish he dropped dead of a stroke or something I don't care how bad that sounds because he's HORRIBLE. I just don't know what to do, I feel helpless. What is there that I can do??? I can't talk to the police because there isn't enough for them to do anything, and my mother doesn't want them involved. I can't leave, and even if I could I couldn't take my sister with me! What do I do????? (((

Ideally you should try to "accept" that is who he his (for now anyway), and :. accept that he has "his own language" ... perhaps in his bent/twisted/scr*wed-up way thats how he shows his love towards you all???. It does happen, eg an inmate with the letters "L-O-V-E" tatooed on his kuckles (ie physical violence was the only form of "love" (in his mind) that he received from his own father).

Today I went to New England National Park, hadn't been there since 2004. That was right before I became really unwell. The worst five years of my life, a total and utter descent into hell.

And I never saw it coming.

Passive. Ah don't huv the balls tae speak up when am offended by summit. Mainly because ah know me, and ah know ah'll lose ma cool. Let just say am increasingly uncomfortable when people make, unfunny racist "joke" in ma presents. Endlessly repeated again n' again. But ah laugh anyway, because ye cannae turn tae them n' say: "See you?! Y'know what you are? Yer c*nt!" Repeatition of a joke more a than once is bit like shaggin' a deid hooker - yer gonnae get bored of it, eventually. Unless yer a f**kin' necrophiliac!

I think you gotta go deep within yourself, to find the deep-rooted beliefs causing the real damage. Then hopefully their words will not offend/anger/hurt/etc you anymore.
(Generally, in my understanding, their words trigger a chain-reaction of thoughts (which can at times be instantaneous), which in turn trigger some deep "tracks" in the brain (irrational beliefs))

Frustrated. I got stuck on one of my assignments. For whatever reason, the way my mind works makes it so that when I get stuck like this, I can't back into any of my homework. I could stare at it for hours without writing a word. Now I have a crazy amount of homework that is not even close to being done and is due tomorrow. As soon as I am done writing this post I will actually go and force myself to write. However, it is just so frustrating that I allow myself to get into these situations where it's nearly impossible for me to get all of this done. I had four days to do it and now only have one day.

Turns out im going to have to defer this semester. Fell just too far behind with my breakdown. Trying to stay positive and look at this as a chance to put myself back together to start fresh for next year.

But feeling incredibly disappointed in myself

Things happen for a reason, and all you need to do is stay positive. Stuff happens. Sometimes that fresh start is necessary. I'm sure next year you will go and totally rock it.

I recently switched to Hanes ComfortSoft Classic boxers. I feel fantastic! I'm walking around in my new draws strutting like a cowboy, like Doc Holliday or somebody. I should go walking around outside in these. May do wonders for my confidence level.

Okay this was just a lil stupid humor to lighten the mood. Nothing to see here folks just move along.

Just think of the immeasurable improvements you've made since then, dude.

I'm feeling good. Today is a public holiday in Australia and I just came from work. I'll be getting double time and a half today over 5 hours total, so that'll go well in my fortnightly pay. For now I'm at home and I'll likely just take it easy, I think. Sounds like a plan. Aahhhhh.... :thumbup:

Weird. I feel like everyday I'm changing for the worst. I hate it on one side, but on the other I seem strangely indifferent. Depression?

Pics of you walking outside in nothing but your new Hanes ComfortSoft Classic boxers or it didn't happen!

That sounds nice! How are you working?

I do split shifts. I worked 5am-8am this morning, then again 6pm-8pm tonight. It's now 8:42am so I can relax for many hours before going back.

Lol. Actually that one statement should really be amended - "I'm walking around the house in my new draws strutting like a cowboy, like Doc Holliday or somebody." If I really could walk around outside like that I wouldn't need this site. Or I'm drunk.

That moment when you're reading what you wrote so far for your composition class and it's quite lackluster, but you don't have time to rewrite it...
Kind of indescribable. At least it's not necessarily to be turned in, but more so talk about in class.

Feeling a bit sleepy. I had a call with a stranger this morning. It wasn't so bad. I had to do a bit of acting and pretend to be extroverted, because it's my duty to do so anyway. I had to ditch my SA for 20 minutes or so, but in the process I find myself speaking in awkward sentences and sounding weird in general. But I think with practice, I could improve my verbal skills.

It's not over yet. I have another conference call and video recording assignment this week, plus a presentation few weeks later. I'm not as nervous as I was a few months ago, which must be a good sign that I'm making progress?!

So... basically deal with ma issues, mostly regardin' ma dad (even though he's deid - dead)? An' lose the inferiority complex.

Relieved a bit.

I've been having migraines a lot lately, so I've been staying home from work a lot. But it was getting out of control, so I went today packed with strong painkillers. I took them there, and when they kicked in I noticed I was a lot more comfortable under its influence. It relieved pain and social related stress.

While pain killers aren't a viable option, maybe some other drug treatment will work. It's a potential relief to a sensation I thought couldn't be subdued.
