Friday before Labor Day, but not bad considering.

Yesterday, I went to a friend's father's funeral. It was a beautiful, simple service. Afterwards, we had flowers and food delivered to her house (I had to get back to work). She is still numb and in shock; her father died 8/27.
It was strange being at a funeral as an observer as opposed to being in the Reserved seats. I've been to so many...

OMG Boo...the "Cup of Shut the F*ck Up" picture SO reminds me of that song, "My Give-a-Damn's Busted"

Too often, when my 7th grade students are whining and complaining about something so insignificant and trivial (albeit VERY important to them), I just wanna tell them things that....but I don't dare!:rofl: In my job it's so important to practice restraint...

Love it, though!

Hi all.

Just thought I'd tell someone that my day has been so blah.

In the middle of a major depression. I'm having a hard time dragging my ass out of bed to shower right now. I have to give a lecture on "Student Success" at our local college tomorrow, so hopefully I can pull my act together by then. (or at least for a couple of hours)

Everytime I feel lost, I've been hitting the computer and researching PTSD so don't be suprised by all the various informational posts popping up right now. It's just a way to help me deal with this.

Well, I'm off to bed. You all have a good night.

Yesterday was very long - first day of the new College year. No students yet, but loads to do. I forgot I had a careers evening to attend, so I didn't finish til 8pm. Briefly walked dog and went to bed, although the sleep didn't really come to much. I am so tired today! :sleep:

Becvan, I wish I was as disciplined as you, I get angry and self-loathing and I stray onto other sites and leak ill-will and fury at people then hate myself even more. Last week was a plane-crash of bad judgements and failure. I still can't stop crying, as all my efforts and 'knowledge' just fail and I go back to square one. I feel so lonely and I've hadf too many years of it. Everybody's got family and people and I've never had anybody and I'm just totally sick of having to keep gpoing on my own. And none of the helplines or therapists seem to get it - I've spent 35 years in total isolation and nobody has ever ever loved me and now they are not going to because I'm a mad, haggard wierdo (that's how people view me). I don't think I can make it through to next year, though I'm scared to say things like that because I know I might get banned. Even coming on this site I just get reminded all the time that everybody's got someone there and I can't stand it anymore.

Hi Purd (shortened that cause I can't pronounce it!)

Trust me, I am not disciplined!! I can freak out just as fast as the rest of you! Researching is really a way of avoiding while not avoiding.

I felt completely alone, as you do, for years and years and years. A few years ago I decided to start tackling that negative thought pattern (yes, all on my own.) And that is what it is. You are telling yourself that you are not worthy of love and that no one loves you.

We teach people how to treat us, so if you treat yourself poorly and don't love yourself to begin with, you are then teaching others around you to do the same thing.

CHALLENGE YOUR THINKING!!!! Take your brain, telling you these things and do this to it (imaginary of course) :hit-boss: and then tell it what you really are. Worthy of love, lovable, special, and not alone unless you choose to be.

You are NOT ALONE!!! You have all of us!!! I just found this place myself, and have discovered that the possiblities are endless!! Hang in there!!

I'm sorry I vomited out my usual stream of self-hatred there. Thank you, Becvan for saying that but I've had years now of doing the positive thinking thing and ending up on my own over and over again. And I don't have anyone in my hinterland to make me feel human, seeing other people with their mum/husband/ brother/ best mate/girlfriend jsuyt makes me want to kill everybody on the planet. I know I'm special but nobody wants it. Everybody's got their importan tpeople and it's never me. I know I'm supposed to do exercises and all that strategy stuff but I've been doing it for so many years and it doesn't work. I'ver earned it by now and it's not there.

Purdy, isn't this a bit of speculation or an assumption? The compliment of "I'm special" doesn't count when you have a negative comment "but nobody wants it" right behind it.

And "never" is a very absolute word. And persumputious. Purdy, you've got to think more positive. Put hope in there, and treat yourself with a little respect!

My day has been okay. The kids are cranky, and the house is a mess, but it's a nice day and I would like to go outside.
