F*ck off! F*ck you! And f*ck life - cuz it's f*ckin' shite! :thumbdown:

Hate people! Wish I could live in the middle of nowhere. Or, at least near one of those wifi hotspots, so I still had internet access. But still somewhere pretty rural.

Bought another joke t-shirt off eBay, but I doubt my family will see the humour of it. h:
Also: Is normal for a certain dysfunctional family member to cause those around them to be physically unwell? :question: :idontknow:

There is a distance between me and sane people, or an invisible wall. They get along in casual conservation from which I am excluded, but am the subject of overheard office gossip.

I've got to get back in shape, these little health issues are harbingers.

Things that have made me happy today:
I have the day off, I made my therapist laugh really hard, people are leaving town because the eclipse is over, my therapist always says nice things about me, people actually say they could see me as a doctor (it's something I am thinking of becoming at some point) and I am going to dress as Old Gregg for Halloween. That is all

That would be amazing!! I read online somewhere that people that are learning how to lucid dream might suffer from sleep paralysis the first time or whatever. I always hoped it was only a rumor and maybe the risk is only very low of it happening? That scares me off from learning how to do it but I still really want to learn to lucid dream one day to aid in my confidence. I want to keep a dream journal and start eventually once I get over my fear.

I had that happen to me once! freaked me out! I thought i was having a seizure but also felt I was in a coma and drifting above the bed, all the while you are trying to fight it off like it's someone crushing your chest and holding you down! Unbelievable experience. It was during the day too, I was taking a nap in the summer.

I just listened to a guy talking about it and a book he wrote about how to master this stage because you are right, it is a part of the process you have to go through to get to lucid dream.

Wow, Old Greg, I haven't thought about him in ages.

Have you ever liked a song by a certain band, but it's the only song by that band that you've ever listened to, so you're afraid to listen to anymore music from that band because you're afraid it'll suck and ruin your admiration for them?

I've bought a few albums on the basis of one song, and been disappointed with the rest of their material.

I read 'hamburgers.'

I was confused.

No, no, no, the hamburgers are the causes of the harbingers.

Where ever I am I always end up feeling like I imposed my presence long enough and I have to leave

I went to church again this Sunday and what I took away from the pastor's sermon was that if I'm hurting or feeling down, then one of the best things I can do for myself is to cheer someone else up. That amazed me because I found out earlier this month that Mark Twain was quoted with saying the same thing.

If you're the praying type then please keep Houston residents in your prayers too. Texans pray for rain all the time but sure as hell not this much rain!! I'm from S.A. and a lot of evacuated people from Houston are having to stay at the AT&T center over here so be hoping they'll have homes to return to again

I think I finally figured it all out and I am elated. Instead of being a physician, I want to be a PA (physician's assistant) - it has lateral mobility, so I won't feel stuck if I don't like my chosen specialty. I am so looking forward to attending college - I think I will get a lot out of it (especially socially). In the past, I was so lost - I had no direction in life. Sometimes, when we're In the thick of something we perceive as bad, we don't understand it's purpose in our lives. We look up to the heavens asking "what is the point of this exercise?" or "why me?", but then, as time passes, the fog begins to lift and on a clear day, you can see everything.

Every hardship I have faced leading up to this point was for a reason - I have learned so much. I have nothing but gratitude for everything. I am on the cusp of having everything I have ever wanted and life is beginning to look more beautiful and exciting each day. The universe really does have my back

That's a fantastic perspective, I wish you all the good fortune in the world.

Thank you so very much! Life is multifaceted; looking at it head on it can appear one way, but step to the side and it looks completely different. So often we create our own misery, but if you can change your mind, it will change your life. I know I am just rambling now, but I really hope something I say inspires someone. I hope that things get better for you and everyone on this site - I know what it's like to get stuck in an endless vortex of sadness/anxiety/depression.

I certainly could do with a dose of what you currently have Sarah_M, whether it's positivity, luck or whatever it is. :thinking:

Been hearing on the news recently how the suicide rate is up & the highest it's been (in my country). There's talk of how to bring it down. But from my experience with the mental health services, i don't think they could have done anything more for me. I escaped my recent bout of suicidal despair by myself (& i don't even know how). I believe depression & suicidal desires, etc, is WAY too complex for any "system" to have much of an effect on. They can try, but that's about it.

It's just a change of perspective - I am finally understanding certain things about life
