The not happy thread

I assume you and in your friend are under 18 and still in high school. If his friends or family have not been able to detour his behavior, and if he can be potentially dangerous to others, perhaps an appropriate authority or professional can be contacted through school services.

 

I am not happy because I got yelled at all evening even though the person yelling "was not mad at me". Great. Felt like it. And the sleeping medication isn't working, so I've been overtired... Yuck! At least the bipolar meds seem to be kicking in... Gotta look on the bright side...

 

Im not happy because I can't seem to let the past go. Even though every fiber of my being wants to move on and forget everything that has happened. Something keeps me tied to it.

 

Eh, i'm not very happy because as much as i love my grand mother so very much i really hate my grand father (his a senile old fart) and i wish he would just F&#!$@ die. And yes, this is a shocking thing to say at the very slighest i know. But if i said otherwise it would be very untruthful, and for me thats worse.

After spending a few months with him (the misses and i are living over here paying our debts off) i realise why his sons and daughters never come to visit. It's becaiuse to him, everyone is a burdon, a child, ALWAYS wrong...... Yet everyone else is a frigging saint

I always treat him like crap, or so he mumbles under his breath, but you know what i was never brought up with a father, and the only male figure in my life was him. And what a bloody mess of a job he did. If anyone should take the blame it should be him. His the one that should have led by example.

So for all i care, i hope he falls over like my nan did the other day, but unlike her i hope he breaks his f#&!*# neck.

 

Long story...but I will try to abbreviate. I had a friend who I met 18 years ago, and 6 months ago I made the hard decision to end the friendship. I did this for several reasons: 1)he called, imed, and e-mail excessively and behaved in a paranoid and accusatory way if I didn't respond promptly enough 2) he asked inappropriate questions about my sex life, marriage, body etc 3) he depended entirely too much on me for his emotional well being and 4) he simply couldn't relate to or understand my life as we have drifted over the years. He is an alcoholic, agoraphobic who suffers from paranoia. I could no longer deal with his calls and e-mails. I didn't have the emotional bandwidth to deal with him. So I told him that he had to stop calling and e-mailing etc. He has broken that a few times. Saturday night (and by that I mean really early Sunday day) he called at 1:15 in the morning saying, "pick up the phone, I know you're awake. Call me back!" He cyber-stalks me and probably saw that I hadn't logged off facebook and thought I was awake. Anyway, my husband and I slept through the call but got the message Sunday morning. Steve was pissed. I was irritated. This friend has drunk dialed in the middle of the night numerous times int eh past so I sent him an e-mail saying how inappropriate it is to call someone at 1:15 in the morning especially when they have asked you not to call at all. He sent me this e-mail in response. "Don't worry, I'll never call you again. I'll be dead within the next hour. Goodbye Jen." I really don't know how to take this. I think it is emotional manipulation/cry for help. He has said crap like that before. Still...I do not know how I would feel if it were true...or even how I would find out if it was. Either way, he is a messed up individual. I just...can't carry him. I can't fix him. I can't save him. I can barely get myself out of bed these days. Still...I can't help but feel that ingrained need to make it better for him. But...at this point...I think he would just drag me down with him.

 

Report his behavior to the authorities. Doesn't California have strong anti-stalking laws?

His last message is probably enough to have him picked up for a mental evaluation, as it indicates he may be a risk to himself or others.

 

I'm not happy because it snowing. The hope of spring I felt the last week has died.
It seems kind of small after reading the last posts, but I live a life that is connected to the earth.

 

We've had an earthquake, and african red dust all over the place. It's as if our world suddenly turned in sepia colour.

Carmina, don't talk to this man ever again. Instead ask your husband to talk to him as husbands do in situations like that. He'll know what to say next time that man calls...

 

I'm sure she can stand up for herself and her husband will support as all good husbands do.

Do as Cogito suggested and report this man. At least then something may be done about it. He obviously has issues that need attending to or he will become a danger to himself and others.

 

WOW My reason for feeling sad seems so irrelevant now lol. I failed both my maths and biology tests. I really dont understand they subjects and iv got exams in less than a month! School is to stressful lol

 

I didn't mean she can't stand up for herself, but I think in case of a stalker a husband scaring the hell out of him is a good idea. I am a woman who stands up for herself as well, but in such dangerous cases no woman should have to be a lonely hero. Reporting him is what she should do, and I hope she has kept some of his messages for proof. They are necessary.

 

How big was the quake? It couldn't be responsible for the dust....

That's pretty old fashioned. Hot, but old fashioned.

 

Not big, and not responsible. Just two annoying things.



[/QUOTE=That's pretty old fashioned. Hot, but old fashioned. [/QUOTE]

I don't care how it's called really. This man clearly can't take no for an answer from Carmina. So he should know she isn't alone. Because I bet that's what is in his sick mind, untill he has to face her husband. Maybe that'll scare him. Maybe not...

 

Dog pile on Penny's reactionary beliefs. Just kidding, I totally understand your explanation.

 

What would you do if you were in the husband's place? Would you let her deal with this man alone, or grab your chainsaw? Because I've seen you with a chainsaw! Be honest...

 

It never would have gotten to where it's at. I'll say it again, I think you are right. There you happy.

 

Not happy we are off topic again...

 

I watched a boy I know have an epileptic fit today in class.

One minute we were chatting; I looked away for a second, turned back, and his eyes had rolled back in his head and he started convulsing. Next thing I know, he's on the floor fitting.

I was so frightened, and I can't get it out of my head

Me and my friend stayed til the ambulence came (he was fitting for ages) but the whole class just upped and left when it happened.
He saw us, because we didn't leave soon enough (we didn't know whether he'd like to see us there or not) and he got extremely aggressive....it was horrible. I don't know if it was the condition that made him do that, or just because he was ashamed that we all saw.

Thing is, he hadn't told anyone he had epilepsy, not even the tutors (who should know by law) so nobody was remotely prepared for this. Im really quite angry that he was so irresponsible - by the way he reacted, I think he just didn't want people to know. He has strange mood swings; one moment he's a grumpy so-and-so that does nothing but critisize, and the next its like he's trying desperately hard to be your best friend. Perhaps he thought that if nobody knew, then he could be a different person. I don't know; he's always been so weird, and sometimes completely unlikable, and now this happens.

I now wonder if he has personality problems/anger problems due to the epilepsy. It would explain alot about the way he is with people in class sometimes...but hey, I don't know, do I? It could be anything.

But, I just can't stop thinking about it - I was worried, but terrified at the same time. I have never seen anything so awful in my life...and the way it just happened in seconds too...it's just really, really awful.

I wonder if he'll turn up for classes again after this

 

That's terrible.

I saw a boy have seizures right in front of me just three years ago. We are in a table and suddenly, he began to foam in the mouth and shake in his chair. It was terrible. I had no idea what was going on until his helper informed the class he was having a seizure.

 

It's still F/cking snowing.

 

Hey, at least you get to see snow every day. I apparently only see snow once every fifteen years, and even then not that much. Just like an inch of snow.

 

You van have it. I'm so sick of this ****. There was four inches when I left the mountain this morning. There's probably a foot up there now, and my guest doesn't know how to run the plow truck. I'll probably get stuck heading up. I won't be able to plant start plants as early as I hoped. My ........... [/rant]

 

My space bar is acting weird. Like it's stuck or something. Every time I hit it, it makes this weird sound......

Annoying and a little unhappy. I don't want to get a new keyboard.

Prome, that really does suck. I've been in that situation too, where we've gotten feet of snow that has to go somewhere. Not fun. Luckily it's March, so hopefully it'll stop soon!

 

I just found out getting into the major I want is much more complicated than previously thought

 

Amen, man.

That would be a really scary thing to witness. I have a friend I used to work with who had epilepsy, and she had a couple seizures at work...definitely not a fun thing to witness, let alone go through firsthand. I hope he realizes that no one is going to judge him and returns to class! I would hate to see something like this ruin his uni experience. Poor guy.

Is it your laptop keyboard or desktop? At least if it's a desktop you can get a cheap replacement for like $20 bucks if something is wrong with it...so hopefully it's your desktop.
