How are you feeling?

[Graeme1988]

Opening up tae ma family has been the worst mistake ah've made... Ah feel worse fur huvin' done it. Why askin' if ah'm awright, if yer jist gonnae doubt ma answer? Ah jist ignore ma problems and hope they'll go away - coz talkin' aboot them huz'nae done me any good. :sad:

Ah, I feel for you Graeme, at least you have those of us who understand... but who knows, maybe they will actually try to understand what is going on with you and it will turn out to be a step in the right direction? We can only hope.

Aye, and ah appreciate that...

but who knows, maybe they will actually try to understand what is going on with you and it will turn out to be a step in the right direction? We can only hope.

Well, ma mum constantly tell me she doesnae want tae hear it whenever ah answer how ah'm feelin'. Mibbe coz she struggles wi' depression anaw.

And ma oldest sister git on ma nerves, constantly assume me being quiet means there's summit wrong? Ah'm introverted - when cun ah stop apologisin' fur that? But then folk're always makin' assumptions aboot me, nae point correct them coz ah'm usually wrong fur doin' so.

Ah know, ah'm an arsehole - sorry...

That's so awful and I am sorry that this is happening to you, you aren't an arsehole. What you are feeling is completely acceptable and people shouldn't be making assumptions about you. I'm sorry your family isn't more supportive, I understand it's difficult. I hope things improve for you, I really do.

Totally not an arsehole! I was thinking about why your mum doesn't want to hear it, and obviously I don't know either of you, but maybe her way of dealing with it is by pretending it isn't happening. she is probably worried about you but totally lost as to how to help you If she is depressed as well, that would definately make things harder for her to cope with. Nothing more painful than to watch your kids go through a tough time, but you know what? You can't help it and I know you aren't expecting her to fix it (although she will always probably feel pressure to do just that.) As for your sister, it just sounds like a major personality clash. Is she really extroverted?

Thanks, ah guess...

What you are feeling is completely acceptable and people shouldn't be making assumptions about you.

Well, ma family huv been makin' assumptions aboot me and tellin' how ah should be since ah wuz in ma teens. What books, ah should be readin', music ah should listen tae, clothes ah should wear. Individualism's f**kin' great, innit?

Or the best yin, assumin' that ma likin' fur insult comedy means ah dinnae mind being insulted? Don't worry, ah spare ye my "context & intent of a joke" rant.

I'm sorry your family isn't more supportive, I understand it's difficult. I hope things improve for you, I really do.

Cheers... Ah hope 'hings improve fur me anaw. But ah don't think they'll ever see it from ma perspective - since they're always ready to contradict every word that comes oot ma mooth, and convince me that I'm wrong.

Empathy's a bit hard tae come by nowadays. Or seems tae be, in ma experience.

She actually, recently, said summit to dissimilar tae what you just posted, Lavinialuna. Ah know ah don't want her tae fix it and ah don't want her tae feel pressured tae do so. It'd just be nice tae huv someone in the family tae talk to, once in awhile. Y'know, who's isnae gonnae dismiss what ah'm sayin' as attention seekin'.

As for your sister, it just sounds like a major personality clash. Is she really extroverted?

Well, she constantly tellin' me what ah should do, is nosy, never wrong (in her opinion) and forcin' me intae social situations when ah'm in neither the mood or mindset tae be social. Not sure if there extrovert traits or she's a control-freak - or both? :idontknow: Ah've never been a great judge of character... Despite ma English teacher in high school thinkin' that of me.

Lively is good! Stick with that feeling.

I am... awake. I think I might actually get some housework done today!

Hey, Weirdy! Long time no hear. I hope you're doing really well.

 

[jaim38]

I am...single again. It feels bittersweet. On the one hand, I feel sad and hurt that a romance has ended. I also feel angry that this guy lied to me, not once but twice. And everyone's condoning his behavior and helping him. I don't think his family likes me. Imagine if I become stepmom to his son. His son would hate me to death. On the other hand, I feel relieved, relieved that I'm not playing this lying cheating game anymore. Maybe I deserve someone else better, but I don't mind being single forever.

 

[Hellhound]

It's been a while since I didn't feel this upset. I hope it will pass quickly.

I am wondering how long will I be hooked on to the Internet. Days will pass and years will pass ..and with each passing moment I will be older. How will look when I will be 50 with nothing to proud, no real life friend, no human to hold my hand or talk to me in person. I wonder if then also I will visit random sites and forums just in the hope of some company or talk? Pretty depressing.
I know I don't this kind of existence. I want to laugh, talk and feel the love of a friend. For that I also want to endeavour. But how?
My friends( one or two) are away..all I can do is talk on phone. The one I thought as friend is no good. Finding love ..looks impossible.
I just wish that this struggle to have some company would just end. I sleep for eternity if there was such thing and not bother about my feelings any longer.

Ah've been wonderin' the same thing, masel', spring. Ah dinnae huv any advice or answer fur ye, sadly. Ah guess ye jist huv tae pit yersel' oot there - which is big risk, but there a chance it might pay off? Jist a thought... No' that ah'm a big risk taker. Plus the people ah try tae befriend usually git bored uh me efter awhile... And turn oot tae be wrong fur me. Anyway, that's another story...

 

[Graeme1988]

Trailin' up tae Glasgow tae see the Kings of Leon live in concert the night - ah cannae be arsed, though. Dinnae feel up tae it - no' exactly in a cheery frame uh mind. Och! Ah'll try n' git some enjoyment oot uh the gig. Plus, they talk funny, jist like me. :bigsmile:

Depression is right a basturd, at times, though... :thumbdown:

Been fighting apathy and depression all summer so far. Need to update my resume (which means make a new one) and get a job ASAP, but I'm dreading working and putting together a resume is kind of daunting.

My sister is gone for two weeks, so I'm here alone, and a certain alcoholic family member is drinking today after going several days without doing so. I asked her last night if she was going to binge today when she bought two bottles of wine, and she said no. But she's drinking today. So I said that she's going to go to the store to get more alcohol. She says she won't, but that's a lie and we both know it. She might not really WANT to, but she will. Because she always does.

I feel horribly alone right now.
