The not happy thread

I was absolutely livid (and I cried but that's not the point) when someone told me today that she wanted to move our pregnant mare over to her house so she could take of my not born yet foal. No one is taking this baby. No one.

 

I'm not happy for two reasons.

1. My car seems to be resistant to fixing, so I can't drive right now ><
2. My shoulder is hurting to the point I have to go to the doctor..I may have ripped something.

 

My ex used to do that to me almost every night. I wouldn't hear from him all day, and then all of a sudden at ten or eleven at night, I would get a phone call asking me to come over. It's lame. I vote you say no when that happens.

I'm upset because my fiance worked at 7, meaning he left for work at 6, and I close at work, so I work until after 9 tonight, meaning I won't see him all day. AND I feel like I'm going to throw up. Today sucks.

 

Someone tagged my church. I do not understand the mentality of someone who defaces someone's property. I really don't understand defacing a church. That is like...extra rude. 4th time this year. What kind of person spray paints a phallis on the side of a church?

 

That's sick. My religion doesn't have a formal church, but I still think it's sick.

 

Yeah...Doesn't matter what religion it is. A place of worship should be off limits to crap like that. Just a respect thing.

 

Yes. Absolutely. I just expressed it rather clumsily.

 

I'm allowed to be less than thrilled. Though considering the circumstances I think I'm doing pretty well. I went flying off the horse I ride today. Skinned myself up pretty bad, got stepped on, sprained my ankle and split my lip. Whoopsy. AND it's the first day of this quarter. Lovely, just lovely. And I'm not supposed to really walk for like a week, so I don't get to see ponies. *cries*

 

That's a real shame, kitbug. A week seems like an eternity when you really want something. Hope everything stops hurting in no time.

 

Yes, yes it is. Especially since I'm now wide awake at nearly two in the morning because of it. And I have class at ten. =(

 

I worked all day yesterday while my unemployed husband sat around the house watching tv and playing on the internet. I came home and lied down on the couch to chill out for a bit. My husband started nagging me to make dinner. I said I just wanted to cuddle for a it and relax. So he waited another 15 minutes to ask again...then again..then again. I told him to decide on dinner since he was the one who was hungry. I named off several choices. He wouldn't decide and just kept nagging. Finally I was annoyed enough to not want to lie around on the couch with him and cooked him some dinner. He overate and became a lump on the couch. So, that left it to me to also put the leftovers away and clean up the kitchen. This morning, even though I have to get up at 7 to go to work, I had to get up at 6 to feed the dogs while my husband slept then try to go back to sleep for an hour. When I was getting ready for work, I didn't turn on the light because it would wake him, so tried to match earring and shoes etc by the light from the bathroom coming in the doorway. My husband made protesting noises to that light and pulled the blanket over his head. I left him sprawled out on MY side of the bed to come to work. Boy needs to get a job or start doing more around the house. I can't do everything while he lounges 24 hours a day.

 

good gawd, send him to cooking school.

i was gonna talk about my day but heck after than it seems pretty darn nice.

i suppose i have to mention something bad, hmmmmmm, my cats in heat and she won't shut up.

 

Sounds like he wants his mother more then a wife!

Im unhappy because im screwing my sleep pattern up again, just when it was back on track.

 

^yeah Speedy shouldn't you be in bed? what time is it for you?

I am pissed off because of my flipping family...again *grrrr*

 

Its 2am..........when i was younger id ave just pulled an all-nighter, but i cant do that anymore, the sun comes up and i justn want to die

I went a whole week being in bed before 10pm (first time in YEARS). Felt great.....But i just couldnt keep it up.

 

9:30 in the morning here. Sigh...

 

^Ohhh that's a bugger
I normally have trouble gettn to sleep but never quite that bad Try going back to bed? Dyou have to work today?

EDIT - 5.30 pm here, I'm already tired :S

 

I dont start work for another 8 days (with means a SHOD be getting it)

Got a call saying i MAY not have to drive the 2,000kms that i thought i was going too!

I took a painkiller the other day for a sore shoulder......i slept like a baby....its tempting to go down that path.

 

^ well then, every cloud and all that....
Don't start the pill route, it will m,ake it worse

 

I know, its justy frustrating. Perople can say just go to bed, but i can't. I have WAY to much crap going though my head (not bad stuff mind you).

 

Ohh I know what you mean
Whenever I'm really tired and I'm thinking 'I have to sleep I have to try and sleep' I can't stop thinking about random rubbish! I drive myself crazy

 

My doctor had me start taking melatonin because I can't fall asleep. But I'll only take it if I know I have to be up early and alert the next morning...otherwise I just lay there, not sleeping, being envious of how easily my fiance falls asleep next to me.

A former coworker of mine suggested that if you lie in bed for longer than like 20 minutes without falling asleep, you should get up, take a walk, and try again. I'm far too afraid of the dark to go walking by myself late at night, so I haven't tried that, but she said it always works for her.

 

I'm unhappy because my ex-girlfriend stated that her Grandmother refused to allow her to be in a happy relationship. And everytime I see her name on MSN or something like that, I have to pretend to be okay, because otherwise she will feel awful over that being her fault.

Fact is I miss her too much.

 

I dont know much about melatonin, but I thought that was the hormone that had to do with skin pigmentation!

I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping and was prescribed a tried and true sleeping aid, Trazedone. It knocked me out, and I didnt stir until my alarm went off in the morning.

I dont take the drug anymore, but I still have the anxiety that provoked the lack of sleep, so now what I do, and this seems weird, is I listen to stand-up comedy as I drift to sleep.
It eases my anxiety, and I fall asleep within ten minutes.

If it's anxiety-related, try my comedy trick; I swear by it.
If it's general difficulty sleeping, ask about Trazedone. It's an old drug that has very little side effects. I used to get dizzy sometimes, but that's it.

If it's insomnia, my old boyfriend takes Zolpidem (Ambien). The only side effect it really has is Sleep, Stage 1 which is clinically sleeping but still being awake. However, it knocks him out like a light every night, and he says his dreams are always pleasant.

Good luck, dear! Not sleeping is the worst.

 

I've actually used that stand up comedy to sleep idea before. Many times I've drifted of as Lee Evans pranced about on stage acting the monkey that he is.
