Post your random thoughts/feelings etc

I got what I thought was a stomach bug Friday night - I've had nausea on and off, mostly on at a low level, and have, ahem, expelled twice, but usually gastroenteritis only lasts a few days, and even if longer, the nausea goes away after a few days. This is going on the 5th day now and I woke up nauseous.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving :sad: No possibility of pregnancy. If it's not a stomach virus, I don't know what it is. Could be lots of things. Has me stressed and a little worried and the nausea is hampering things I need to get done for tomorrow. Argh :crying:

I could go to the doctor but they'll probably just say the same things and not know what it is for sure and recommend rest and bland foods and blah blah. I'd have to get tests done to rule out other things. What to do...

There's this girl that works at the gym I go to that is always avoiding me. I'm not interested in her or anything, but I just don't know why she does it. All the other guys that work there go around the gym every now and then and say hi to people they hadn't talked to before, and sometimes they will talk for a bit with some of them as well. But when this girl goes around talking to people, she always skips me, but I don't see her skipping anyone else. It's just weird and it bothers me a bit.
Maybe you remind her of someone she had a bad experience with? I am sure it has nothing to do with you personally, try not to worry too much about it :)

I'm so so so so soooooooo sick and tired of consumerism.
It's the same d@mn thing every year.
People rushing around to save $10 on some plastic s*** that will be outdated or most likely be broken and in a landfill a year from now.
It's such a sad cycle. And it's the same thing every year.
I am old enough to remember the fights at the stores for the original Cabbage Patch kids in the 80s. It was so sad then, and it's still sad.
This year Americans will be fighting over plastic Frozen merchandise made by sweat shop slaves (who shall remain faceless) and paid for with maxed out credit cards that have been hacked by scammers earlier this year by just about every retailer imaginable.

Mmmmmm...America...take it all in!

And the media makes it sound as though it is our duty as good citizens to get out there and spend, spend, spend. And then the news trots out "experts" to tell us what to buy and what is "hot".

It makes me angry and sad at the same time.

There's me rant! ;-)

Had to go buy some water first thing in the morning, I think going for a little walk got me more focused on studying. I usually start studying after eating breakfast and I take a lot of breaks because I get distracted, but not today.

Might have a place to live tomorrow. Sleeping rough is very wearying especially if your stuff gets wet then you spend all day trying to get it dry again.

I've been eagerly waiting for a particular song to be released for 5 months, ever since I heard a short version of a minute on a tv show. My expectations were pretty high because of the long time waiting for it, during which I listened to the original full version of it several times. The original song is sung by a vocaloid and has a more electronic feeling to it, but I really liked it too; this version has a real person singing and more instruments. I also listened to several covers of it which were pretty good as well, and that also contributed to my high expectations.
On top of all that, it was supposed to be released two weeks ago. Three days past the release date I found out it had been delayed two weeks, which was this past Tuesday. Then I had to wait a few more days for it to be online. Even so my expectations were met, if not surpassed.

It's funny you say that because that thought crossed my mind as well, even though it's not a common thought for me to have in these situations.
Trust your instincts, your guy is usually right:thumbup:

I worry about you. I pray you find a place. You deserve a place to call home!! Hang in there!

It's funny how a person can be both nauseatingly full and heart-wrenchingly empty at the same time.

On second thought, no, it isn't.
I hope you feel better today after a good sleep. Reading your posts have been heartbreaking lately :sad: Treat yourself nice today :)

Thanks for commenting, Lavinia. It's true I've been going through the woods lately, and it's been getting darker every day and harder to find the way out. The wolves are coming ever closer, and I'm running out of places to hide. I'm sorry if I've brought you or anyone else down with my gloomy posts, but sometimes I just have to let out a scream to drown out the howling for a moment, and unfortunately, I have no other outlet at present. Thanks for your support, though. It really does help. :)
 
panic mode once again

I can't do this, this ANYTHING. I just cannot do it :(. I can't. I just want to be able to breathe like a normal human being and stop hyperventilating. Panic is one of the worst demons you can encounter. The overwhelming emotions coming up front are simply too much to deal with at once. This panic is clouding up all the rational thoughts in my brain, but these feelings are so unbelievably overwhelming that rational thinking gets pushed aside completely. It's irrelevant in a panicked state of mind.

I simply cannot control it with willpower or a snap of the fingers, it does not work that way. If only right? I now fear I may have ultimately demolished the only thing in my life I felt I had to live for. I ****ed it up..... of course I did. It's all of my own doing too. I can't be a neurotic bitch with no memory whatsoever of previous actions. I can't even recall the last time I was this shaky with panic, tension, and fear. All this is too much for me right now. I may have possibly screwed everythign up, and all I want right now is to BREATHE.

It is no bother, I only felt compelled to comfort, to say that I am listening, and that you're not alone. Venting isn't nearly as productive if you fear no one is listening (for me, anyway!)
Heartbreaking as it is sometimes, I enjoy your posts because the way you word things is so expressive, I find it very much like reading a good novel, like I'm right there with you.

I have been here, and I'm so sorry you are going through these feelings. I hope by the time you are reading this you are breathing easier (hugs).

Thanks. I do now, finally. It was a strange, sporadic illness.

Glad to hear it!



I feel really guilty because my daughter's new boyfriend annoys me. I am trying so hard to just deal with it, not say anything. I am sure it is my problem as he is a perfectly nice guy... it is just little things he does that annoys me (like being human and in my house :crying:) It's pretty funny actually, I mean it's not, but it is!

Adjustment to my circumstances is really the need of time. I can't escape or deny any more. I always think what's the logic behind life. If I always have to accept and adjust, never even dream of things I want so much, then life is just ..getting through some 60 years and ending up dead with no knowledge of what will happen next!
 
I don't get people that can post works in progress without feeling cripplingly self concious about it. To just put it out there with all it's imperfections and rough edges. Whenever I've done so in the past it just served to gnaw on my confidence.

They must be so brave, I kind of admire that.

I tend to think they're just so starved for attention and praise that they treat their works like less 'creative' narcissists treat facebook updates.
