Without this forum I don't think I would have been able to cope half as well with crap as I have. It really makes a difference.

I have to go to my grandfather's office today with the rude secretary. Dreading it. Still feel bad about yesterday. Another day of survival. Here's hoping.

Great! Something nice happened at work today. Two little girls who had given me birthday gifts a couple of weeks ago came up to me and one told me that it was nice to see me. I should point out these girls are no older than ten years old.

One of the teachers at the school I work at gave me a Lindt chocolate bunny. Before I left work, I saw one of the girls and gave the bunny to her. She was so happy and thanked me a hundred times. She gave me a big smile and a wave as I was leaving.

I felt great for that piece of altruism, even though I really wanted that bunny!

If all people were like these little girls, there would be no war.
^ Oh my gosh, that's adorable! You're awesome! This post just put a big smile across my face. 😀:thumbup:

If everyone shared their chocolate like you did, I don't think there'd be any wars either. 😉


I'm feeling a lot better today than I did yesterday, so far. Hope it lasts.

I wonder if I am the only one who hates the place where I live ?!! I have always been the odd one out..never fitted in society. When almost everyone is happily accepting I am the one rebeling.

I have so much anger in me.
It is extremely frustrating because no matter what I do, I can not get rid of it.:veryangry:
It is starting to scare me. Like I feel doing something radical is the only way I can get it out. I have scary thoughts going through my head.

I have tried exercising, music, reading, baking, thinking positive thoughts, keeping busy, distraction, movies, eating nice food, writing down my thoughts. :sad:

Nothing is removing or quelling this intense rage stuck inside me.:veryangry: :sad:

Have you tried a punching bag? I used one for a long time and it helped quite a bit. Its great for bouts of violence that need a semi positive way out.

Had an interview today and experienced an anxiety attack through the duration of it, per usual. It was obvious. If they hire me, wonderful. If not, wonderful.

Well at least you tried.

This is how I'm feeling. I have a burn/blister right under my eye and another blister above my eye. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why workers wear safety glasses!

Doesn't Australia have safety training and proper PPE? Geez. Be careful!

I wouldn't know. I'm from Tennessee, USA. I was standing too close and a machining tool broke, totally my F-up. I'm actually supposed to wear the glasses but i was wiping sweat off my face and took them off for a minute. That's when it happened. Momentary brain fart so to speak.

Giving up caffeine is brutal, narcoleptic kittens have more energy than I do.

^Good luck with the mean secretary, Opal. Walk in with a frown on your face, maybe she won't talk to you if she gets the impression your in a foul mood?:thinking:

^ That did cross my mind before actually, but I rent an 80 year old cottage. There is nowhere strong enough to attach it too. I can't install a hook in the roof anywhere because I don't own the place.
I have thought of ways to secure a pillow (not permanently) hanging, but it's just not the same punching something as light as feather like a pillow. :oh:
Thanks for your suggestion though, jc.

True.

You're allowed 2 cups of coffee per day, so for the time being, I'm going to have to take advantage of that. This doing without has been un-fun to say the very least.

Now for my latest trick.

I'm nuts.

I hope I won't be punished for my thoughts. I can't help thinking in certain ways, but I try hard to not let my thoughts turn into reality of course. My negative experiences from the past also made me who I am today, I can't pretend that certain things never happened. Some people go through life without experience much conflict at all. I wonder if they're lucky.
