The fact that you want to help speaks volumes about your character Mikey! 11 months may seem like forever but time passes so quickly it will be here before you know it!

Eleven months is just for the bus tour. I don't know what they're doing but when they're in Wollongong I'll certainly go check it out.

Thanks for the kind words, singing-love.

As a depression sufferer for over 13 years, I really want to get involved with beyondblue, but every time I go to their website, they're not looking for any more volunteers. I want to contribute more than just mindless donations. I think in time I will be doing some work for this wonderful organisation.

They're doing a national bus tour, but they won't hit my area until February - 11 months away. :sad:

I've heard people call Beyond Blue nothing more than a website. And the fact that they have left Tasmania of their tour suggest they weren't that far wrong.

I feel sad about my pup, she had an accident and broke her leg.

Hope her leg mends well and quickly.

Thanks Kiwong, I hope so too.

I don't know why my mum keeps ordering pizza from the same place. It costs the same as anywhere else, the quality is slightly lower, and they take twice the time to deliver. Other places take 20 to 40 minutes, these guys constantly take an hour to get it here. I know my cousin works there but that's no excuse for settling for a lousy service.

Same here too. That is why I couldn't bother ordering pizza really. It just seems to take forever to reach and the place ain't that far either.1

Don't know what to do with myself. I want a different braaaiiiinnn. Even Abby Normal's brain would probably be okay with me.

I want to get my essay done today so I don't have to worry about it tomorrow, but it figures, I have a bit of a hangover. And I only had two, maybe two and a half glasses of wine last night. Gaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.

Also, it really pissed me off that that lady said I looked like a little kid. I know I don't, that's just ridiculous - she was exaggerating for effect I suppose - but it was how rude she was about it that really hurt me, and how I didn't have the nerve to tell her how I felt about what she had said. It made me bitter. And I hate that I'm going to keep hearing this forever because it makes me feel SO self-conscious. But yeah I've already said all this before, sorry.

The weather is nice, though, I have to say I'm happy it's getting warmer.

I'm trying to focus on my essay but it's hard to think when your head feels like it's in a vise :/

Nausea isn't exactly inspiring, either.

^ I know what you mean. I have trouble getting rid of rude, critical past comments towards me out of my thoughts too.
How often do you have to see this woman? Can you choose to not see her again, so she never has the opportunity to cause more hurt to you with her comments?
My sister used to make hurtful comments to me ALL the time. As an adult I can fortunately choose not to see her anymore.

I don't have to see her that often. She's the secretary in my grandfather's office. I'm learning how to use the optical instruments, though, and he had to take me there to show me. We'll be going again next week, and maybe for a while. So, I may have to see her once a week or so, briefly anyway.

Forcing myself to "attend" online classes doesn't feel as bad as forcing myself to attend real classes.

This is awful. Was she particularly mean to you? Do you think she has contributed to your anxiety today?

^ So she is the secretary and she is making a rude comment to the granddaughter of someone who has the potential to get her fired?
Wow she is either very arrogant or ignorant!

mg:
From how you have described your grandfather, it sounds like he would not be much help if you complained about her to him, which is sad. That sucks that you have to see her once a week.:sad:

^My mother thinks she was always very hurtful and critical to me because my father apparently favoured me in the 2 years he was around after I was born. That's not my fault! lol

mg:
The bullying from school caused most of my anxiety because that was everyday and from a whole group of kids. But haveing an insulting sister did not help.

Ah, I see. You're right that it's certainly not your fault. You can't control very much at the age of two.

School bullying is a big problem everywhere. Sorry to hear that, BlueDays.

I'm not surprised. People like that get very good at sizing you up and knowing who will let them get away with being a douche and who won't.

You wouldn't believe how many rude tenants I've had to deal with, and the whole time I'm thinking "You DO realize my grandfather OWNS this house you're living in, right?"

The little power trip they get makes any calculated risk they take worth it.
