The not happy thread

Carmina...puppy pads solve that problem. They love em, and you will too!

 

Grrr. Every time I get in a good mood and convince myself I'm over what happened last weekend I get remided of it and I drop straight back into depression. I won't say what's been upsetting me because it will be embarrassing but it's something stupid and teenager-y and pathetic. But every time I think about it it crawls into my head and sticks there until I want to dig it out with a spoon.

 

Thanks NaCl, I'll try. I used to be a positive person and you're right - things were so much better for it. Now I just need to build my confidence back up so that I can *feel* positive.

And sorry about the animal problems guys.

 

I will take a dog peeing on the floor over being socially ostracized at school any day. Screw the witches Ashleigh. You rock. You just need to get your groove back. Embrace your earthgoddess body and put that lovely smile back on.

 

I'm not happy because my stomach hurts, my head hurts, my eyes are sore, and everytime I wake up, it's anouther for hours out of bed... Talk about YUCK.

I'm also not happy because the kid I watch is under all but house arrest as her mother tries to gallivant her off to Egypt, yes, Egypt - why Social Services hasn't removed her yet, I don't know. I know that the grandmother has is sad, and that the mother should be taking better care of her. It's not fair to this six-year-old sweetheart.

 

I understand. With being bipolar, you have a very, very weird view onf the world, sometimes not a good one either... so I understand how you feel. - and if you're this upset about it, it's ok. I get upset about "dumb things" to. Most of them I've let go but some I can't.

 

Xe, I'm sorry I wasn't around yesterday when you PMed me. If you need someone to talk to, I'll be around for the next few hours! I hope everything is ok.

I hope you feel better. And also, it sounds like that poor kid is in a pretty bad situation! Poor thing. Hopefully something changes for the better for her soon.

 

You are lovely Mina Thank you x

Tip: Make the doggies wear nappies (diapers?) until they get the picture

 

I should lock her in the kennel at night or when we aren't around. Oh wait..my sister "borrowed" my kennel about a year ago and left it out in the rain storm. Yeah. That was nice of her...*grrrrrrr*

 

The movie about Charles Darwin is coming to the USA, to be released on January 22.

Good right? Except it's to be released in only three states. My state is not included.

I hope when it goes out to DVD, it's ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, so I can actually watch it without having to resort to Youtube.

 

Well, I won't repeat what her grandmother said, but her grandmother is very stressed. Social Services' - for whatever reason - has done nothing to remove the child from a bad situation, and so I am not very impressed with them ATM. I think the old adage of "the child must always remain with the mother" reigns true... I'm not trying to disregard social workers, I just don't like these particular one's.

I can't really say much without giving away the situation, but I am concerned for her saftey. I know it sounds odd to say so but I love her to death. Such a sweet thing.... she likes nickles.

 

I got a half dozen new books from the library today, but then I had to come home and read King Lear. Not that Shakespeare isn't brilliant and all that, but I wanted to read my new books instead of homework. And now I don't have time to watch the movie I wanted to if I'm going to get the rest of the homework due tomorrow done in time. I'm just whining, of course, but if one must whine, one might as well do it on the not happy thread.

 

The last couple days have felt like hell
in the bigger picture my problems really aren't that bad at all so I probably shouldn't be talking but I'm so sick of it
sick of being sick
sick of school and the ever present stress and sleep deprivation
sick of my friends
and mostly sick of the stupid person that I can't get out of my head especially after what happened yesterday

 

^Well, big picture or not, your problems are certainly worse than my not being able to watch my movie because I put off doing my homework. I'm terribly sorry about your life stinking just now. But a (very rough) quote (ish thing - I can't find it) from C.S.Lewis: When things go badly they often keep getting worse for a long time, but once things start getting better, you find that they get better in leaps and bounds. Again, that's super rough, but you get the idea. So cheery-ho and all that!

 

Man my PMS is bad at the moment. I feel so fatigued. I don't know if that's normal or not, I usually don't feel this tired before my period is due. I have absolutely nothing to be upset about, but I nearly feel as if I'm on the edge of bursting into tears. Such a strange sensation.

Eh. I guess I'll take some painkillers and toughen up.

 

I'm so sorry, Yellow. Just hope you know I'm always here for a hug, and I'm sure that you'll do great on your finals... I hope it gets better soon!

Weird... happened to me the other time, too, which is quite unusual (the feeling like I could start crying for no reason). :/ That sucks, hope you feel a bit more cheerful soon.

 

Thanks Lydia, you're a sweetheart.
= )

On other news my Dad rang me abruptly literally 3 minutes ago. You see I lodged a claim for him to pay child support for my younger brother, which he evidently just found out..
he scolded me, being all, 'you're asking child support from me!?', like it's some big surprise, I was like, 'well, yeah..' and then he said, 'I'll see you in court!' and hung up on me. It's not like you can't afford it Dad, you earn 100 grand a year.

God, how sad. A 50 year old man throwing a tantrum.

 

Im just whining, but I suppose this would be the place.

Im tired of not having money.

I am tired of worrying myself sick over our cat Ziggy dying. He's 3 years old, in great health (sees the vet yearly, per thier reccomendation), and doesn't go outside. He's the only friend I have sometimes and I am so afraid of losing him.

I am sick and tired of High School drama. I graduated THREE EFFING YEARS AGO. I suppose thats what living in a small town will do.

I hate this depression...well, I think it's depression. I haven't been diagnosed, because the new insurance that went into effect on Jan. 1 requires a $5k deductible before they will pay anything, and we currently have $0.23 to our names right now. But, I think it's depression because it runs strong in the family and Im showing alot of the symptoms (Sleeplessness, Thoughts of suicide, difficulty concentrating and remembering details, constant aching all over, feeling empty and worthless.)

...and then there are the ever-present issues with the opposite sex, but I don't feel like even talking about that.

so in a nutshell, thats why Hambone is unhappy.
good day.

 

Thanks Lyd, I hope I do well too
I've been so sick I've barely studied...and today is my hardest day

@lavendershy rough or not the quote is still pretty true

 

BG. I would stop worrying about your cat.
If she is healthy she will live to a ripe old age.
She is an indoor cat and that adds years to their lives.
Mine are in their late teens.
The depression may be caused by lack of sunlight.
Try taking vitamin D each day. That is the vitamin you get from the sun and it is very necessary to function well.
Money is not the great happy maker most people make it out to be. Now that our sons are grown we have the money.
But to be honest I would give it up to have my children still here.
Small towns if it isn't one drama it is another.
One person passes gas and within a couple of minutes it is talked about on the other side of town.
hope you feel better soon.

 

I'm having withdrawal from smoking.

Tedious boredom, restlessness, sleepless nights; it's horrible. Never has Trainspotting been so right either!

 

Know this: It will get better. It has too.

 

It'll get better, Lemex. Trust me. My grandmother quit smoking a while ago and she said she's never felt healthier in a looooooong time.

 

the eff?! *outraged on your behalf* ... i don't understand some people *sends positive vibes* hope it works out.

 

Eoz, hopefully he'll cool down once he has had time to get over the shock. He was probably just served with the notice. With any luck, he'll realize that it is simply a matter of making sure your brother's needs are covered.

In any case, though, I doubt the courts will give him much latitude to argue against the child support.
