The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

[chelluversu]

I've never been so stressed out by a person in my life...

ok that's a lie, but this is different. FML.

[daniellaaarisen]

I need to somehow survive the summer without doing anything really stupid. It's been 5 months and I'm still extremely upset about the way a past "relationship" ended. I've been honestly depressed for the first time in my life and I don't know what to do about it. Just when I start to think I'm slowly moving on, I'll absolutely lose it randomly in the car, or before I go to sleep. It's taking all of my energy to resist from buying a plane ticket and visiting him without warning just so that I could get the closure of seeing him.

Just keep your eyes on the horizon and everything will be fine. Soon you'll have a bevy of Stevie shows to lift your spirits. And you'll be studying abroad in a most incredible locale. Trust me, there are always more boys around the corner too.

A few people do that to me, it's annoying!

I try to just ignore, I hope it works for you!

So, so hard to believe but I've gotta keep the faith!

I'm so sorry. It's always terrible to feel powerless over your emotions.
For what little it's worth, things really will get better. Waiting for that improvement is obviously grim, but it will come.

I am so sorry for u.

Dont do something like that , you will feel so stupid after it. I ran after a guy in my class and today i am wondering what i thought i would reach that way exept making a fool out of me. I ran after my "best friend" because i thought i need this friendship, in teh end its better without running after anyone and i wasted a lot of time and energy...

Look at all the positive things like others already said before, from reading this forum i know you got a lot of them keep ur head up !
hope that you will feel better soon...

Okay i neeeed to say this.

I am devastated. My Grandma died a few months ago... We lived in the same house in diffrent flats, i s used to visit her all the time...
Now the furniture and everything gets removed (and destroyed of course) from her flat and is thrwon away, exept all the things i could keep. And i got to hear and see it.
I was with her in this flat so often.... i miss her and this is hard to stand ...
saw someone throwing away glasses out of the closet into a bag and breaking them... so i left into my room. and am writing that.
I hate this. soo muuuuuuch

I think that is the saddest part- when someone passes and someone else has to tie up all of the loose ends. I had to do this with my sister's apartment after 9/11. We were not close at all, and it had been many years since we'd spoken, but there was something very chilling about closing out the final chapter of one's life, especially when it ends so suddenly and violently. The apartment was pretty much as it was the day she left it. A friend of a friend had come up from Philadelphia to take her clothing (he was opening a vintage store) and a few pieces of furniture. But I had to do something with the rest of it- books, CDs, cookware, etc. I did manage to disperse most of it to friends, but it was those last few remnants that were most haunting. In a back closet I had found boxes of meticulously packed law school notebooks. What the hell was I going to do with that? All at once it dawned on me how kind of meaningless this all is. I am not one for monuments are leaving legacies, but this symbolized all of the struggle and hard work we put into our lives, yet, at the end of the day, it's just... garbage. Four years of studying, schooling and student loans basically resulted in a few anonymous boxes to be left at the curb along with the rest of the day's trash. It was so disturbing to me that, in an instant, a person's presence on the planet can be completely erased. And it all boiled down to those stupid boxes.

And what was really, really chilling was when I was going through her books, I found that this particular title was pulled out, almost as if she was in the midst of reading it. I believe it was supposed to be a crow flying above St. Paul's Chapel, but it kinda looks like a plane to me...

^That's eerie.

I realize it's absolutely smart & necessary to cancel the show this year because of the risk, but I still feel cheated out of my fav holiday!

Bummer. We stayed home this year, but we can see our town park's fireworks from our back patio, so it was all good.

Lose it how? Lose it like start bawling & sobbing, or lose it like crash your car into a tree or going out to cut a bitch? There's nothing wrong with getting upset or emotional at times. People have this idea that any feelings that aren't happy are bad, and that's just not true. There's also no set time on how long to grieve. As long as you're getting out of bed each day & bathing, you're coping OK. Give yourself permission to be sad for a while.

Not so this time. I have an appointment this week for the orthopedist. At least I'll be allowed to pick which color cast I want.

Just think if both Deborah & Christine were on one stage!

I wouldn't even want to know what would be going on in your pants!

I.. am not sure how to respond to that.

My head would have exploded anyway, then my heart. My pants would probably be the last thing on my mind, I'm not absolutely sex obsessed! Just a little bit
