This is for you Pip ~~ I had one of those **** days yesterday.

Unhappy people at work, calling in to scream at me for a mistake I didn't make...stressed...sarcastic...over-caffeinated.... wanting someone to be fired, etc. etc.

Meanwhile I had a personal crisis on my mind = a hearing I had to attend at 2:00 p.m. So I took my lunch hour to type a "pity party" e-mail to all of my friends, briefly explaining my problem and asking for prayers, good thoughts, good karma, crossed fingers, ... basically any good luck charms they could send me via ESP so that me and my kid would not be alone at that nasty unemployment hearing appeal. I mass mailed that E-mail to all my friends in my address book, including some from my high school reunion last year...

When I got home and logged on the computer...there were *hugs* and "cheer-up", and "atta girl" messages. It was really uplifting to read the support and friendships that I had.

A couple of tablespoons of Nyquil later and I was happily snoring and putting that day behind me.

OK...so that's my 2 cents worth...

Hope it helps.

P.S. the damn hearing got postponed....the star witness for the otherside couldn't make it!

As you can see, everyones answer is different..but when **** hits the fan, there's really nothing better than a good long cry (for days if necessary)...and the next best thing is having your best friend to chat to(theyr'e great for telling you how wonderful you are..and how awful everybody else / your situation is...).If you think there's no light at the end of the tunnel, don't worry, there will be one day, and things will get better (might take a long time , but it will happen)

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. Today is a new day! None of the problems are solved but I'm doing all I can to stay positive!

I also allow myself a few days for a pity-party. I'll let myself cry and "woe is me" for a few days, and then I say "that's enough of that," and try to find a more constructive way of looking at things.

Yes, I am the same way JS. Good call. Pip, I hope you feel better.

we tried to make it work as best we could, just isnt going to happen.

But things happen for a reason...and I reconnected with the person I met 19 years and fell 'head-over-heels' in love with, so who knows, maybe it was just meant to be.

I listen to music, see one of my favourite films, and walk, walk a lot.

I listen to muic or try to escape in a movie or book.....and sometimes hanging out with friends helps.
