Feels Like I'm Waging A War

So glad you posted, you have been on my mind a lot the past few days... sorry that voice has such an ugly message... and am happy you are still here... glad you walked out of that office... hope the one you like is available... it's not like you aren't searching for help.... and it pisses me off that you haven't found a 'safe zone' yet, and with someone that has a real degree and not something off the internet.... you have been beyond tolerant... so, hoping the one you like is the one you get to stay with....

Am really hoping you put the dyeing off for tomorrow... you know tomorrow never comes.... and I would be sad and very upset to not have you here....you are one of my most favorite people here... and I am so sorry you are having such a hard time.... sending energy to keep on keepin' on.... sometimes it just changes Bananie,,,, not always get good or perfect, but just changes.... don't leave five minutes before the miracle happens....

Glad you posted.... and do what it takes to take care of yourself... you are important to me.... gentle hugs if you accept..
 
Thanks @ladee :) <3 I really really really REALLY appreciate you!!!!
Now that I'm away from it, I can't believe I was actually in that place. Also, I am surprised that I didn't go into the opposite of there, like in to a really good mood. But appreciative, I think, of that too. Cause the super highs don't really last. I'm just pretty neutral right now.
oh...
"look, I'm still stuck, I want to try more emdr, I don't need any of the formal things in place, I can handle ANYthing, let's get unstuck! Bring it!"
I have other things to do this week, and I'll wait to see new T again, but I totally want to go back to old T.
Ok, healing circle today Have to break mom's heart again as usual cause I was going to go there today but I think the circle is a better idea. Appt with new primary doc tomorrow. Also, an interview.
A job popped up in the neighborhood where my old job was. I called the number they gave, and turned out to be in the same building, and the guy was someone I'd see and chat with on smoke breaks. So I went to put in my application, and since it was the same building, decided to finally go back to my old job and turn in my keys. I ended up hanging with my old boss for a few hours like nothing had happened. It was nice. I won't go back to work, cause crazy is still there, but, I missed my boss.
Ok, i have to call mom and shower and go to circle.
 
Had an interview yesterday, pretty sure I got it, and I'll start training next week. I will say, somehow, I must have grown, or changed, without really realizing it? Usually before interviews, I'm so nervous, and convinced that I won't get the job, they don't want me, omg, how to explain my work history and gaps, I'm a good employee, but also, a horrible one whose mental health gets in the way a lot. The past two interviews, I just didn't care. Like, I know I need a job, so it's imperative to do well at the interview, sell yourself Bananie! But, meh. No...wait, it just hit me. I was afraid to be me, but lately, I can't even fake anything. Wait, no, it was that I used to try to, and couldn't ever fake it, but felt I had to. Now I just don't bother.
I'm trying to think of where I've "gained ground", because I want to go back to old T. And I feel like he always thought I wasn't doing enough.
But also.... whenever I'm in an ok frame of mind, I think, do I even bother with therapy anymore? I'm fiiiine. WAIT! It's the JOURNEY not the destination. I don't have specific goals, really, but I like the journey of therapy.
omg why can I never FOCUS? Even on babbling trying to figure myself out?
"honest to the point of recklessness, self-centered to the extreme"
Ok, babbling doesn't have to be focused. It's babbling. Dur.
The real problem is that you don't really focus when you are supposed to focus. WRITE. You want to write. Draw. Businesses, market people. Hmmm I'm always switching between I and you.
That's probably not unusual. You're nothing special.
Well, no, you are. Everyone is. But.... people seem to regard me as extra special. And I don't hate it....and I feel like I deserve it.....but..... not. Or that it's a lot of pressure to live up to.
Except, that all it takes is...being myself. I'm adored. I'm smart, I'm funny, I'm practical, I'm kind, I'm resourceful and creative, and apparently my smile is something to behold, and my energy, my aura, my essence, is ....divine. lol.
booooooo the afternoon is upon us, and I have to go to mom's. She's pretty much my main...source of consternation.
Maybe I should ask this in a public forum, cause, I'm pretty sure, like, well, all mothers suck, right? They're the source of a lot of jokes. And I know nothing is normal, and aging. Basically, mom is a nutcase, I think, and I need to get over it. Stop letting her trap me, it's not her trapping me, it's me trapping me. Well, that goes back to not being able to fake things. I don't like her company. Unfortunately for her, not a lot of people seem to. So she's a lonely old lady. OMG. I used to always feel bad for old women, when people like, ignored them, and they were stuck in nursing homes. Maybe they did it to themselves. The weird thing is, on the surface, she seems like (as one of her doctors called her, she latched on to it, and my sister and I laugh like crazy about) "a very pleasant lady". But if you spend enough time with her....well, my aunt likened her to....what are those things in Harry Potter? The dementors?
Ok, off topic...but it's my bloody diary, there is no off topic for me!
I've been given the opportunity to be a domme. To be MEAN to a man. To humiliate, and hurt. I'm so used to being NICE. To avoid hurting anyone, mostly to avoid the karmic consequences. Also, because it feels wrong. But....if it's with their consent, nay, their wanting it to happen.... and, we all have light and dark in us, we have to acknowledge and sometimes be in the dark.....
hmmmmm.
I never really think of myself as an afraid person....but I really am... even of things that I've realized are not threats.
Or, is that really, it turns out everything can eventually turn bad, even when you're not expecting them to. But then things turn out good when they were gonna be bad.
HA! "I think I'm scared, I think too much, I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealing." Oh Rob. You know everything.
Ok....stop rambling for now yo, do something.
 
Love ya Ramblin Bananie.... and super good luck on getting the new job, and ya, we might as well be us up front... it shows up anyway,,, usually at a time no one is expecting it, least of all , us.... so you go into this big old world and be you.... and you are terrific...and caring and funny and all the good things you listed....

Know how I am mean to men, or ex husbands.... just laugh and laugh at the wives they have now.... Karma is a beautiful thing...

Hugs to you, the real you !!
 
On the way to mom's. Uuuuuuuggghhhhhh
I'm high school, I got a t-shirt made with the queen symbol on the front, and in the back "I just gotta get out of this prison cell, someday I'm gonna be free"
I did mean I would get out of my parents house, but when mom took it personally, I said "I dunno, I mean like, the prison of my mind" which is also true. As time goes on, I've suspected, my main prison, it is me, but, externally, her. Trapped by her sadness for 36 years and counting. And all she really wants from me is time with her, but I can't stand spending time with her. And I still haven't figured out how to fix it, other than just not caring, trying to fight the guilt, just always trying to change me to like her better, but I keep liking her less. Oh well. She's something to be endured. Rude to think like that, but, that's where I'm at. Oh wait.... so thinking about therapy mainly for getting over my mother, cliche, but, that relationship probably *DOES* cloud all my other relationships.... I can't stand to be needed. To be suffocated. And I never want to be like that to someone else.
 
Seems like time for a little ramble, while I have a few moments. Not that I don't have free time. I guess I just feel like gettin some things out for meself.
Two days of training down so far, three to go. It's not a bad place.... People seem cool. What sucks is that they actually still hold the first paycheck for two weeks. Who DOES that these days??? I'm BROKE, yo, that's why I needed the job.
Hopefully, the little side venture I did over the weekend pays out sooner than the 7th.
Everything works out somehow.
I've been sleeping more, not necessarily to avoid life, but because I'm enjoying the dreams lately. I feel like I'm getting slower to lucid dreaming. And I've had the reoccurring dream that I have again. Always different scenarios, but in the same house with a lot of secret passages. Now when I'm in the dream, I realize, Wait! It's this house! I don't know what it means, or what will come of it, but I enjoy it.
I had a dream about old T the other night too. He was giving a lecture or something, and I was totally badmouthing him to the person next to me, then I put my head down on the desk, and he came up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder and said "Are you ok?" In the nicest voice, and while he'd never put a hand on me, and I never wanted him to, that was a comforting dream hand. I like new T though. So. It's cool.
I thought more would come out, but....I guess not. And that's fine too.
 
Another "childish" action on my part this morning. Woke up to the Spanish music blaring, bass thumping. So I finally plugged in my woofer at and four speakers and started a rap/hip hop playlist, first song "I don't f**k with yoy" by big Sean.
The music upstairs didn't last much longer.
I am DONE with dbags attitude. It was so nice while he was gone, but I don't think my friend will ever get rid of him, so, I'll definitely need to move. I just want to settle in a little more at the new job. First real week starts tomorrow. Everything will be fine.
 
On the way to the first real day, in a super foul mood. Funny how my internet didn't go out for almost 3 weeks while dbag was away, and now.... it's not working. Bill is paid. Company says there are no service issues in the area, or problems with my lines. It's just not working. Tech is coming out Wednesday.
My shampoo bottle was moved in the shower, and the little bit I had left was gone. Went to the store before work, picked out a bunch of stuff I needed cause I do finally have money, phew, but, the person in front of me had to complicate rhings, and I had to drop all my stuff and leave to catch the bus.
So far, yes, grumpy, but not all the way gone in to how bad it can be, so I'll keep fingers crossed that I stay relatively neutral, or reach down deep and find more reserved in me to become a super seller and a super saver so I can move and get a car ASAP. I'm ready for life to be a little easier. I don't know why I keep making things difficult for myself.
 
Oops, hit post by mistake, can't delete, that I can see.
"Your cat was meowing at me today. Is she out of food?"
Mofo, I've had her for 14 years, and she means more to me than anyone or anything, so no, she's not out of food. She was probably telling you to eff off, you effing eff.
Ugh.
I was gonna write more, but, now I'm not lol. Tryna watch the chips movie. Ew, so far.
 
Thanks for letting me know... a strange day for me... and 'Your cat was meowing' left me very confused.... LOL... thanks for finishing.... never hurts to ask, ya?
