The Not Happy Thread

If it makes you feel any better: I don't think I'd be able to even recognize Ancient Babylonian script.

And don't worry - I'm having the same thoughts right now. But you seem like an intelligent guy, I'm sure you can do well.

 

Merc, that shit sucks. If you want to talk you can VM me, I'm finally back on the forums. Watch comedy movies and stuff right before you go to bed, that often helps.

Ashleigh, it sounds like someone needs to be told off, then drop-kicked out of your life. Hard. I don't know if this is an ex-boyfriend or a toxic friend or what, but they need to go. Stand up for yourself and tell them where to go.

 

Welcome back.

 

Honestly on the verge of giving up on my love life. I wasn't stood up, at least, but fuck me this is getting ridiculous.

Not my fault either. Which makes a change.

 

From what it looks like, I won't be accomplishing anything today. Why? I'm on the internet and can't break free.

 

Sucks it's not working out between you and the girl. Don't give up. Your time will come.

Aha, I know the feeling. It's looking like it'll be that kind of day for me too.

 

^ Same here. I feel completely unmotivated to do anything. I'm asking myself why I even bothered getting out of bed.

 

^ Me too, which is why I got back into it and had a nap.

 

Thanks. I'm just sick of being mucked about and taken for a fool. I don't think Hannah meant anything malicious (I think she just doesn't know whether she's coming or going to be fair to her), but she could at least tell me she's busy and/or answer the bloody phone.

 

What with finals this week and the Packers losing, this is decidedly not my day.

 

I must now remove my cheesehead in shame.

 

Posting this was a bad idea brought on by lack of sleep and some sort of self-pitying reaction.

 

^ Sorry you've had to go through that. That must be really tough to deal with. ;/ I overthink everything too, so I can relate on that aspect. I haven't managed to get out of my head and start living in the real world yet so I can't help you on that. I think it might help if you saw a doctor, even just to talk things through and they may be able to offer counselling/therapy or something that will help you overcome things. If you ever need to vent/talk about things or whatever, feel free to. Not promising I'll be any help mind, but I think it's good to talk about things and not let it fester in your head too much (like overthink everything).

 

I am thirteen and i've tried to commit suicide. I was going to drown myself.

 

I'm really sorry that you're going through such a rough time with relationships at the moment, Dante. Perhaps you should reconsider going to the doctors, even if it turns out you don't need to, and last night was just a particularly rough night, it is better safe than sorry I suppose, especially if you have been depressed before. Mental illness can be crippling, my mams side of the family has a history of it, I've grown up around it and my worst fear is that I will end up like my mam - sometimes it is better to ask for help prematurely, than to let things fester and get too far. My only other bit of advice, would be perhaps ignoring relationships at the moment, and focussing on yourself, and finding a place where you can be happy again. Of course making a relationship work is going to be difficult if you still haven't fully dealt with any issues you have, so maybe you just need more time coming to terms with things, and becoming happier and confident in yourself, before you then add the worry/pressure of a relationship.

Sorry if I have jumped to any conclusions about what's wrong by the way, I'm just going based on your last post.


In other news, I am not happy because I have only been back at uni a week, and already I have a s***load of essays and work to hand in soon, several pages worth of reading lists to get through, oh, and the added pressure of house-hunting before anywhere half decent gets snapped up and I am forced to pay £200 a week for some horrible little room. AND my milk just went out of date, so I can't make myself a cuppa to calm me down.

 

Dante, there are just no words. You're a really strong guy. If I went through that then, well, I doubt I'd do anywhere near as well as you have. I hope your family are proud of you.


Oh, and if you want to chat about relationships or anything, drop me a message. I'm no guru, but I've been through some crap myself. Sometimes comparing bad dating experiences makes it all seem much easier to deal with - even lightens up some dark parts too. My inbox is open to you dude.

 

Double post FML

 

I'm sorry you tried this, but it's really not the answer. ;/ I think you need to talk to someone about how you feel. Whether it be your parents, a friend, your doctor, or even someone on here.

 

I don't really know what made me post that last night (other than frustration and the fact that pretty much was what was going through my head). I've always kept that private and not something I want to discuss on an internet forum, much as I like you all. Normally when I'm frustrated or emotional and can't sleep I write everything down in a Word document - which gets deleted. I don't know why, but it always settles me down and puts my mind at ease, like the act of deleting it expels it from my mind, at least for a while. Hopefully, now I have my mind occupied, things like that won't come up again. They didn't when I was busy last year.

Much better today, despite only three hours of sleep for my first day in a new job. Instantly lost two days of my holiday without being asked (bastards - and because I joined a few weeks into the year I lost two days from my 26 to start with), but I get the feeling I'll enjoy working there.

And everyone - thanks. Really, thanks.

 

Well my troubles are certainly not a patch on recent posters, but this morning I sat on my Kindle and broke the screen. So I'm a fat-arsed eejit it seems, yay.

 

oh well, a wise man once said.

"Why bother with life? No one gets out alive anyway..."

 

My uni is running these eight week language courses which I really wanted to do (well, not all of them, just one of them would be nice) but oh no, they ALL clash with my timetable so I can't. I've emailed them to suggest they do them at other times but I doubt they'll take any action because of it. I got all excited when I read about it.

 

Ahh that's rubbish, you'd think they'd do them at varied times- at my uni they usually started at 8pm. You never know though, they might get enough feedback to do something about it.

 

^ Yeah, they're not changing it. But they might run them again in the summer term at different times so fingers crossed.

 

Life is all we've got. Use each moment carefully.
