The Not Happy Thread

I like spending time on my own, but when you realise that you have nowhere else to go that's when you get lonely.
So i've been watching films, reading books, writing, wasting time online, everything i love to do at home. But now i'm in university i just hear big groups walk past and i'm so alone and lonely and i don't know how i got this way.
Not happy I want to change but i never do.

 

I came here to vent about something, but then when I see some of these other posts, I feel like a donkey for even being annoyed with what I'm annoyed at because some of these other posts are so much worse.

Drusy: Hang in there. You are certainly NOT being selfish.

Talmay: If your friend has attempted suicide before, you are absolutely justified in trying to find out if she's ok if she's not responding to any of your other attempts at communication.

Sarah: Try to get out there and find something meaningful with other people. You should eventually be able to find at least one other person you can enjoy. If you genuinely enjoy spending time with yourself, others will, as well. Remember, you are the one responsible for your own happiness. So if you're not satisfied with your situation, change it. A university is a great place to find other people to hang with -- you are not alone in feeling the way you do.

 

Nasty bout of chest pain today, but nothing out of the ordinary, thankfully. Hmm...There's a thought. Normal pain, must be one of those little things. I hate being a freak...

 

Ouch, I feel for you. My stomach virus last night made my chest feel like it was on fire. Add my unknown virus to eating greasy fried chicken for lunch earlier that day which I will never eat again. I really never eat greasy food and on the first bite I knew it would hurt me. Not even sure why I ate it...I guess because it was good?

I hope your pain eases a bit soon.

 

Food poisoning isn't fun. Dodgy beef stew (of all things - didn't think it was easy to get food poisoning from beef, unless it was something else) means I'm not eating anything for the foreseeable future and not at work. Bleagh.

 

The only thing worse than having a virus with congestion and aches is having said virus AND taking care of 3 year old with same virus.

 

Nope. With all apologies to my gender, the one worse thing is having that virus and having to take care of a whiny sick spouse at the same time. Embarrassingly often, men (especially husbands) are insufferable when they are sick.

Get well soon.

Thanks Chicagoliz! Though everyone should feel they can vent - because everyone's problems are big to them. Comparing them doesn't make what you're experiencing any less relevant. So, saying that, I hope things get less annoying for you!

Isn't it frustrating when the normalcy of life takes on something like pain? I find it fascinating. I even started writing a little story called Farming for Frogs because of how you can cook a frog and it won't even know it. It's just constantly adjusting to a new normal. Sigh. All my best to you! One of the amazing things about the human spirit is that even when being cooked, we somehow keep going. I do you hope you feel better. =D

 

I hate 'had-too-much-fun-didn't-get-enough-sleep' headaches. So annoying.

 

You mean a hangover? Yup, they suck.

 

Nope not one of those.

Spending the night with screaming teen girls on a sugar high + sleep deprived + a headache= my problem.

 

Ow. Shrieking pterodactyls would not be as painful. Surprised the sonic barrage didn't turn your skull to powder.

 

Never posted in this thread, here's the list:

Car:
Brake lines rusted out
Thermostat broken
Fluid pump broken

Flat broke
No credit

Zero Degrees

Respiratory Infection

...not happy.

 

So I turned in a fantasy short story for my fiction writing class. It was short, and it was the first time I've sent my fantasy out to anyone.

Nervous? Oh yes. Yes, I am very nervous. I'm afraid I bungled up on the short-story, didn't fleshen out any characters, and the ending was too rushed.

And my fiction writing teacher's gonna think I'm the crappiest writer she's ever read.

 

I'm pretty sure I totaled my car today...

 

Well, I'm sure you've learned a lot about writing as a member of WF, so I'd say you have an advantage over the other students.

Damn. What happened?

 

I wouldn't worry about that. Look forward to the feedback.

 

Well, if my husband and I are both sick with the same virus, he's SOL, because I'm not doing extra for him if we're in the same boat. But that doesn't work with your kid.

Thanks for the well-wishes. Now husband and other son have the virus, too. But the 3 y.o. is back to full energy.

 

It sounds like popcorn outside my window and tumbling down the roof...(Awesome sound, but it's ice...). Add 6 - 8 inches of snow over the course of the day and major yuck.

 

Well, to start off I was stupid and sprained my ankle (long, embarrassing story), I'm suffering from a writer's block of types, I got my ear pierced (woohoo) but it hurts like heck. My family wants to read my "novel", but it's too gory and disturbing and I wont even let them know what the title is. My writing is starting to control my life. Finals have started in school and I'm getting stressed with all of this homework, but other than that life is absolutely... lovely.

 

I feel the need to scrap everything I've ever written.

 

Hoo-boy. That's extreme. I suggest something less radical, like getting away from it for a while.

Good luck.

 

NEVER do that. If you don't like it, file it away in your closet somewhere and write new stuff you do like. But if you scrap something and change your mind later, you're SOL. So just don't.

 

am all alone-A!
