Feeling weird. It's one of 'those' days. Tried putting the key in my front door this morning but for some reason the key won't unlock the door, so I'm trapped in my flat. Oh well, at least I've got a bottle of Jack Daniel's.

It feels like my legs were set on fire. Ow ow ow, very sunburnt. I hate you sun. I also have an extremely sore throat again and can barely speak at all. I want to feel whole again, physically anyways.

8 days of people sick in the house. Husband finally fell. I am the only one who hasn't gotten it, so I am just waiting. It's like a death sentence. It's a really bad flu, and I have been exposed for 8 days straight!
I feel like I want to run away. Tired of playing nurse maid, and my back still hurts so much.
I feel like crying. I just need to not be in pain have a normal routine for awhile and I would feel so much better.
 
fat!

Not happy with my recent weight gain :/. I feel pretty gross right now because of it. It's not a lot but I think it's enough to be noticeable. I still feel sort of sick too, I'm sure I'll feel horrible when I first wake up tomorrow. Too many other thoughts going on in my mind too, I wish I could just shut them all off sometimes.

I couldn't wait for summer to start, but now that it's here I'm so overwhelmed by free time that it's hard to appreciate it.

The intensity of my thoughts both creative and destructive are a part of my illness. It's like a manic phase of bipolar 24/7.

I'm feeling particularly sad and depressed today, more so than I have in quite a while, so just felt I should try venting a little as it might help. I hope you don't mind.

I've been feeling kinda rough for about a month now, and I haven't really been on top form this entire year so far. I'm not entirely sure why, but I have a few suspicions.

I feel like I've been trying really hard in my life and doing really well, but nobody seems to be noticing. I feel like, when you were in school, the harder you worked the greater the reward would normally be. The reward being not only the grade but the way the teacher and your parents praised you. But nowadays I just feel like the pay off never really comes.

I feel like this is exasperated by my social deficiencies. A part of me wants to connect to people, to have them see the real me, to see what I'm all about, and I'm sure they'd like what they see and I'd feel a little of that sense of payoff. Except I'm not sure. There's another part of me that feels like, what's the point in getting to know people, because as soon as they see how much I differ from them it'll just cause problems and awkwardness between us, and is just doomed to fail. And the latter part of me tends to win because it's the part that doesn't require action.

I'm having real problems at work because I can't figure out how to say hello properly. Just everyday greetings cause me so much distress. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's how I feel. If I don't do it properly, or at all, I worry that the person may think I'm rude and dislike me. I pretty much worry about other people's opinions of me all the time. I keep convincing myself that people hate me, or have no sympathy for my quiet nature. I feel like everybody is angry at me. I cycle a lot, but all day I feel like car drivers hate me and pedestrians hate me.

I feel like I just need a little love, a little support. Somebody to notice the hard work I've been putting in. Somebody who believes in me. Somebody who actually likes me.

I'm usually pretty good at practising gratitude and believing in myself whether others do or not......but I guess lately it's got the better of me a bit. I'm sure I just need a few days off to recuperate and reflect and get my mind in order again.

But right now I just feel sad.

Makes me want to find The Young Ones streaming online somewhere and watch them all from the beginning. Not that there's that many episodes.

Brilliant stuff. :sad:

Well in the UK we prefer quality or quantity when comes to TV shows - particularly sitcoms. A series is usually no more than 6 or 8 episodes.

Fawlty Towers only had 12 episode, like The Young Ones. That way the shows stand up to repeated viewing and are still funny. Nae offense tae any Americans...

The BBC wouldnae commission The Young Ones or most of Rik Mayall's comedy output, for that matter, nowadays, though.

British comedy has lost a truly unique, hilarious and pioneering talent with Rik Mayall's sad, unexpect death. :sad:

None taken from my end. I actually lived in the highlands for ages 5 & 6, and spent 9 years in Singapore (very Brit influenced former colony if you didn't already know). I grew up with an appreciate of much that is not American. I have vivid memories of Scotland. I'd love to go back and visit some day.

True and true. I've been googling cause of death now and then trying to figure it out. Seizure? Cardiac incident? Not that it matters, I suppose. He's gone either way. Ah well, we all go out eventually. Not all of us leave a solid contribution like he did. I'd raise my glass to him but it's empty.

Ooops, that's likely tae offended - sorry... :giggle:

Ye should visit Scotland coz... Well, if we become independent after mid-September, tourism'll be the country's only means of of maintainin' things, financially. :bigsmile:

Apparently, Rik Mayall died from a heart attack, according what the media are reporting. :sad:

I feel so anxious today. I have to go to somewhere, where I will see relatives again.:crying: It's like putting myself in a room with hostile people. I'm scared, already feeling like jelly inside. The first step is admitting this. Second is brain rewiring. Think positive to have a positive attitude, feel gratitude for the opportunity. Think of it as a learning experience. I will never grow if I stay within my comfort zone. Also learning how to improvise.
