Trying To Start A Thread Of My Own...

[EmmaOwl]

a sound-proof booth full of delicate glass breakables so I can go in and metaphorically scream my head off and smash up expensive stuff. You're welcome to try it out

Wow I think that is the most generous offer I've seen on this site - and there is a lot of generosity here! Thanks Ragdoll, you're awesome!

go buy "china" at a trift shop and break them all. Still looking to do that. Wanna buddy up? Lol

Um. Here is when reality and not-reality might merge a little too much lol

I did take a mallet to a whole pumpkin once (for realsies) and smashed to pulp. It felt fking good!

Ok I must tell you a story - I shall try to be concise.. in the 8th grade, we had a "reading" class and there was a unit about managing stress. (I think it was designed for kids who were going to be entering Honors &AP classes the next year, in h.s.) There was another unit that consisted of interviewing one another, and everyone would go up and read their interviews. This one kid, Dan, was interviewed by a little out-of-it kid who said, "In his spare time, Dan likes to smash pumpkins, which at first I thought was odd, but then I realized it could be a good way to manage stress."

So, good for the student to put the two units together! BUT this was something like 1994 and Dan meant he liked listening to THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, the band. The interviewer didn't have a clue but almost the entire class was in hysterics.

**All metaphorical screams Officially Welcome** :)

Another generous offer! Thank you, pixel.

Seriously, this thread? Has made me feel awesome. It's partly a swing in mood..but not just that. I love it. Thanks to everyone.

You're right. :) it's wonderful seeing how we rally around each other and help someone get back up, or rib each other with a shot of humour :wacky:

It's great. I like it if even one person laughs, it's worth it! I don't know how I came out with this one but I'm kinda proud I managed it, when I was feeling so discouraged. Since I am more down now, I will bookmark this and try to remember that there can be laughs.

On a more solemn note - sometimes it's hard for me to remember what it is like to be happy. So I try to plant reminders to myself - not always successfully but it's worth a try.

This site is kinda of like riding around in bumper cars at the amusement park. We are forced to deal with feelings we are avoiding yet other riders have the same issues which puts us all on the same plane and humanizes and placates us for another pumpkin smashing day, either listening to that group or.....

I love Smashing Pumpkins! :)

I discovered early in life that punching holes in walls was both expensive to fix and humiliating to look at after the storm had broken. I like to fill up water balloons and throw them as hard as I can. I did injure my shoulder once, though, throwing them. That balloon flew like it had wings.

Ok I am about to start screaming (metaphorically).

The past couple of days my mind has been dreadfull...

Ughhh! I hate when that happens.
I just shrug my shoulders and rewrite it
or walk away saying forget it.
