Ever feel like everything is tumbling down on you?

[Taverner]

Or is it just me?

Sigh....I need something strong

[SarahB]

[Taverner]

5. Ohhhh if only I could

4 or 5 AbsynthenSprite's would be so kind right now....

2. Yes, pretty much every day of my life now

But thanks to the power of xanax, here I am! :hi:

[Taverner]

4. Xanax...I gotta get me some of that...

[Fenris]

:loveya:

[LSU_Subversive]

10. Xanax and liquor. Not that I'm condoning that or anything.

If you're looking for something strong there's always a Dead Nazi or two.

We need to oust Bush and then we can start cleaning up our country.

I forget what it's like to have peace.

9. my mom raised me

and told me each day that I was "a worthless good for nothing waste of space" and that was on a good day *;( . She said I was the cause of her high blood pressure and her drinking. She told me not to marry my husband cuz I would only ruin his life like I did hers. Even though I understand it was her frustration and anger yelling and hitting and kicking me, I still feel terrified of ruining something, wrecking something, screwing up. If something goes wrong anywhere, I take the blame. I wake up terrified and go to bed terrified, but that is the way it is today. Tomorrow it might be different, it might be better. I owe it to myself to wait and see.

One thing I have learned is that everyone has their weaknesses and their fears. When I'm overwhelmed, I stop, take a deep breath and decide what is the most important thing to tend to at the moment and I do my best job dealing with that. Then I go to the next. And if there is nothing I can do to make it better at the time, then I let it go until when I can. And sometimes I had to sit down, on my hands and wait until ugly feelings went away. I didn't move until I knew I wouldn't do anything permanent.

Well, I guess that was too much information, but in answer to your question, no it is not just you. I guess it is your turn to deal with more than is comfortable, but everyone has a turn at that. Outsmart, out last... Be creative .. And ask for help if you become to tired.

12. I don't even know what to say to you

I have been following your posts for a long time now. I know there was a post of yours that took hold of me, but I'm not sure what it was anymore. Nonetheless, since then I have watched for your posts.

I think that it would be worse if my mom was passive aggressive. At some point she would become too tired to hit and kick and yell, but the other way she could never be stopped.

i was abused by my mother pretty badly, too. i understand your pain & despair.
wish i had some inspirational words, but all i can say is take it day by day. seems like you've got the same handle on it. awake w/ the horrors tonight, that stuff & the paths it led me down. thankfully, ms. judy is in my lap & just gave one hand a thorough wash.


let's have a group hug & hope tomorrow is sunnier...

that doesn't do it either. .6 millies of special K, still wide awake & can't turn off the memories, or the projection.


good thing we have community.

[jukes]

21. time

for another chip. damn, i need some sleep.

ms. judy left, now rosie's in my lap. sorry to bother her, but...

20. Given that you have 1000+ posts, Taverner ,

I'm pretty sure you've learned that DU'ers are a caring bunch. You're not alone. Be good to yourself. What does that mean to you, BTW? taking care of yourself? To me it means treat myself gently.

[Aftershock]

22. Sometimes, yeah.

I went through really bad depression for the last three years. Since May, I've been seeing a psychiatrist lately and I've been taking some antidepressants. Everything is going uphill now.

Everything will get better. I promise. After all, it got better for me, even though I thought it wouldn't.

23. The world spins so fast

that everyday somebody falls off. Hang in there.

[CandyCrim21]

24. Everyone does......

Especially in times like these but all you can really do, (aside from hard drugs), is try to stay positive and take it one day at a time. What other choice do you have? Know what I mean jelly bean!
