By the way, Muggins, they're not my kids, they're my niece and nephew. But you're right, they never fail to make me smile.

Ah right, even better, you can do your silly stuff with them then hand them back afterwards


Genesis _Gun, I can imagine the first day back at College is particularly difficult, I used to feel the same way. It can feel like your the only one without someone but having read many of the posts here I hope you can see that you're not the only one and that others can emphasise


Surely not, I'm sorry you're feeling so unhappy. Can you talk about it to someone? I hope the support of this community can help you with this

Afraid not which is why she's been put on palliative care. On the plus side at least she's dying at home which was her wish, she hasn't lost her sense of humour and some of her hallucinations have made for much amusement.

worried . Start a new job in the morning, anxious as always that I won't be good enough. Hate this constant self doubt

[Tom Morello]

Dreadful

^^ Lots of people will have those thoughts when starting a new job, I'm sure you'll do better than you think you will, good luck

Just the forethought gone into these replies has been tiring ¤_¤

You could just do what I do and let it pour out without thinking or caring about be coherent. You know by now that there's no issue you can't ask about here.

Headache, I'm going to bed for a couple of hours.

Head still hurts.

Good day at work. They are so weird when they come along.

Have you taken anything for it, James?

[MLP James]

^ I seriously didn't even think of that. I have now.

Something that is contributing to it slightly is that my mother put new curtains up in the living room. They're light blue and they don't block out much light, the old ones were thick and dark red. Light blue is a colour that I really don't like in a room, it makes me uncomfortable.

Ooh, I don't like curtains that let too much light in. I even have a blackout blind on my bedroom window along with dark blue curtains.

Gawd, sad and depressed.

Feel like I'm going a tiny little bit more insane than I already am, currently having a break down yay. I think I'm starting to hate myself little by little each day that slowly passes by.

[Concept]

^ Sorry that things feel as though they're unravelling Pandapop.

I'm not in a too dissimilar position. Keep having to fight off the urge to want to go out every night and get wrecked.

There's always something wrong with the world when you're not super positive. Hope you feel better soon.

[Concept]

Can't get to sleep. Head is buzzing with thoughts.

[Merritt]

Repulsive and ugly.

The trigger is perhaps a bit silly: a bottle of wine, and watching Silver Linings Playbook. Mental illness is just so sexy and romantic, isn't it.

[gloriousbirds]

Naughty; I should be asleep. Drained, but Im not ready for the next thing I see to be my alarm clock! I had a fight with my reflection this morning n chopped some hair off. I was so riled about being scared of hairdressers, even though most of me thinks that's perfectly acceptable really. There's too many angled mirrors for me, they're weird hollow circusy places and they creep like childhood nightmares.
Anyway, I felt trapped this morning. Better now though.

...And A Billion Other Hollywood Sired Misconceptions

I want to read that book.

[buttonlane]

Stressy stressy lionel messi.

Back on it. Thrusting my way back through SA, probing about abit, wondering if I should hit it hard this time and really smash the back doors in, I burnt myself out doing the latter last time though.

Tiring stuff this SA lark... in it.

It sure is. Good luck with whatever you're doing.

I'm backing off a bit at the moment because stress is dragging me down. Not directly SA as such, but just life's little (or big) problems.

[Concept]

: (

Sucks that you're feeling so rough at the moment Kooky Monster. I know that form of daydreaming. : /

Good luck with the assignment. Don't return to bed - tis a vortex.

[Pablo Huntsbach]

Not better. I just want to sleep. I perked up a bit late last night and was determined to go out today but now I don't feel like it.

[Appear]

^ Hope things pick up, Pablo.


Mother told. Feeling okay.

I now have 3 days to complete 7 weeks worth of work for an assignment but panic about it isn't setting in and I'm having to fight really hard not to just crawl back under the covers and say goodbye to Tuesday.

Eurgh. Vent over!

Sounds pretty much the same as my life kooky, basically living in my head 24/7, sleeping too much (or little) and struggling to do anything but sit on the computer

What's the assignment for? Just try and get it done if you can and then take a break and relax afterwards

Good to hear she's okay
