How are you feeling?

I wonder how some people can be so uncaring and self obsessed. I am arguing with this girl about social policy (there is an election here on Saturday) and I just cant believe how MEAN and SELFISH some people can be.

Well, I'm always surrounded by people. Wherever I'm going, it's like everyone decides that they want to go there too! Especially with females, though; it's like the universe is wagging them in front of my face, knowing that nothing will ever come of it. I think it's because my father has been "opening his legs" for pretty much anything with a skirt. As punishment, his son will be surrounded by females as he was, yet any attempts to make something of it will be in vain. I dubbed this occurence the "Entourage Effect"::p:.
So you're paying the price for your dad's hunting abilities, are you? That's unfortunate, but you can change! :)

I think that it's often because they simply don't know any better. They don't know what it's like to be a single parent. They don't know what it's like to grow up in a town where the only person with a job runs the TAB. They don't know what it's like to have a mental illness.

I have no idea actually lol.
Fair enough. Sometimes we get these feelings that have no basis. I know that because it's happening right now.


I'm so sorry you're feeling depressed Mickey. Hope you cheer up after a good night sleep :)
I had a nap today and I thought I would be cheered up after that but no, didn't happen. I hope I do. Thanks. :)

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that, anything in particular?

I know for me it's not always.
Well, there's a few niggling thoughts in my head that won't go away but apart from that, it's not really anything.

What is also making me upset is that I spoke to someone this morning who's going through a rough divorce, her son has to have his tonsils removed, and a house she was basically promised has been given to someone else. She's got it much worse than I do and yet I'm upset at nothing. That in itself makes me upset.

It's partly the uselessness of depression that really gets to me.

When I was volunteering, I heard some terrible stories, difficult difficult stuff that people were having to deal with. I'd sometimes wish that I could do their suffering for them, since I was going to be miserable anyway.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Where did you volunteer? (Sorry if you've mentioned it before.)

A wonderful opportunity to feel like I was doing something worthwhile.

But. You know. People-oriented.
Yeah, if you're socially anxious it can be a daunting experience, even though you enjoy helping and it's worthwhile. At least you made the effort to do it, which I have nothing but admiration for.
 
I'm an emotional mess at the moment and I really need to consider if I will ever get to a point where I'm comfortable with the type of work I'm doing, or if a change of direction to something less of a challenge is what I need

If you are financially able to change jobs, you should seriously consider it.
Not leaving my last job soon enough almost resulted in a nervous breakdown. Don't wait until it is almost too late :s






I am so tired its becoming unmanageable

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Shut the f%*k up - a wee note to myself, possibly for future reference.

Because, as my mother said "Whenever you open yer mouth, you just cause trouble" . Which is true, sadly. ::(:
