so depressed

[adarling]

after one of the worst weeks in my life, break up with the woman i love after dating for 6 years, some republican assholes steal my obama sign outside my house. could i have some more people kick me when i am down?? all i want now is for obama to win so i can kiss this horrible year goodbye. God life sucks right now :(

[geek tragedy]

1. Lose a lawn sign, win an election.

Fair trade off.

Sorry about the relationship ending.

[Danger Mouse]

2. Geez, I'm sorry to hear that.

Hope it gets better soon.
Look at the bright side...those Republican dirtbags can gloat now, but on November 4th, it'll be our day at long last.

[adarling]

8. thats what i hope for :)

[KathieG]

3. I'm sorry.

I've been there...it does suck. You will feel better when Obama wins. :hug:

[Sulawesi]

4. My condolences...my heart has been broken before...

[Haole Girl]

5. Aww... at least you don't have neighbors who decorate like this:

See the bottom three pics in my pic thread in the Lounge...

[Haole Girl]

13. Glad I could make you laugh!

:D

[Blondiegrrl]

7. I'm so sorry. Hang in there - things will get better.

As for those who stole your yard sign ... well, the joke will be on them come Nov. 5.

[ddeclue]

9. They actually stole your Obama sign to put up in their own yards..

they were so embarassed by the McPalin signs that they threw them away and stole yours!

:)

Sorry about the woman problems... I understand.

Hope things look better soon.

:)

[adarling]

10. haha, hopefully

thank you :)

[Hope08]

11. When it rains, it poors

Sorry to hear about the tough times. Although it may not seem like much consolation, things WILL get better -- promise -- and you'll look back at this sad time without feeling any pain or bitterness. Anyway, don't know you but here's a shout out to you. And just think how DAMN HAPPY you'll be on November 5th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Avalux]

12. Just take one day at a time....

and after Nov 4th, the days WILL be better. ;-) I'm sorry you've had a rough year and have just gone through a break-up. :hug:

14. The future is bright.

Things will work out for you, hey it seems to me like guys are outnumbered by ladies by at least 2 - 1 on DU, so you're in a good place.

[Zynx]

15. Do you have a pet? I suggest petting it if you do and getting one if you don't.

They are great in their simplicity. They only worry about food and sleep and appreciate the attention you give. In a volatile life, they are welcome constants. :-)

[silverojo]

23. Or get two: Name one "Obama", the other "Joe"

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope you'll feel better by the time November 4th rolls around. There's something about a Repuke presidency that makes you depressed even BEFORE bad things happen. :(

[bmartello]

16. hearts your way!!!n/t

[FlyingSquirrel]

17. Right with ya.

My wife moved out on the 1st, we've been together 6 years and married for over 4. I have barely lifted a finger to clean, have still not gotten finances figured out much less how I'm gonna afford this house by myself (I can't move, have a dog and 2 cats and have no motivation to do anything at this point.)

But I think I'll probably feel better after Obama wins, and I can probably reduce my addiction to DU and get some stuff done.

[adarling]

35. thanks for the message

its a horrible situation your in, but at least it finally feels like some people understand :)

[renate]

18. I'm very sorry

Six years is a long time. That hurts. :hug:

[seabeyond]

19. i am sorry. hugs..... n/t

[madmax]

20. Things will get better, honest.

You are loved. :hug:

[lady raven]

21. I'm sorry to hear about your breakup.

Sounds like a crappy week you've had. Here's to better tomorrows, starting on November 4!

[AllentownJake]

22. Find an Obama election watch party in your area

for November 4th. Lots of people will be in a good mood. It won't take the pain away from the break-up of a 6 year relationship but you never know what good democrat you might meet there.

[Essene]

28. i support this approach =D

[d00mzday]

24. Cheer Up! Hold your head high! Obama is taking this election with or without yard signs :)

[Voice for Peace]

25. sure, here's a kick for you

what goes down must come back up, a peculiar law of nature

[npincus]

26. President Obama.

How was that, friend? :)

[fed_up_mother]

27. Oh, I'm so sorry about your situation

Just keep thinking how elated you will be when Obama wins!

Life can be very hard, but if you hang in long enough, you'll get to a curve in the road where the scenery changes.

Keep your chin up. You'll be feeling much better on November 5th!

[Peacetrain]

29. A motherly hug to help

:hug: You have had a tough week...

[Kind of Blue]

30. I'm sorry to hear of your losses. I know how you feel.

But I know for sure that when one door closes another one opens. I also know that when a slew of shitty stuff happens it means a bunch of new good stuff is about to come. Just hang on tight on the roller coaster ride down because you're really just going to shoot back up again.

[Meshuga]

31. Next wednesday life will be good again!

;-)

32. Similar thing happening to me.

Girlfriend of 11 years decides that my buying a house for us to live in was too much of a commitment. Decides that having a job is too much responsibility. Decides that she needs to go off on her own and discover herself. Decides that she's ok just leaving me for dead after 11 years. Decides to go and do all of the things I was asking her to do while in a relationship, on her own. I can't tell if I'm dealing with the loneliness, (which sometimes creeps up on you like death at the end of the day), or just suppressing it. I feel strong, and horribly weak all at he same time. All I can tell you is spend time with friends, and go out. Any reminders of the person you were with, get rid of them. Keep yourself busy if you can. Go out and meet new people. I've heard people say to wait, and not get involved with someone else. I say go on and do it if the opportunity arises. Even if it doesn't work out, it gets you out of old habits, it's a nice distraction, and reinforces that there are truly other fish in the sea...

[adarling]

34. God sounds just like my situation to a t

i am sorry about it for you as well. you are right it does creep up like death :( hang in there and i will try to do the same

[EnviroBat]

39. Got your back bro...

:hi:

[riqster]

33. Been there, and my heart goes out to you

Winning is the best revenge.

[demo dutch]

36. A girl friend of mine in same situation decided to volunteer for Obama & made new friends in the

process. She joined local Dem party it really helped her a lot!

[mnhtnbb]

37. So sorry--

Been there. DO something. Take a walk. Take a nap. Put on some music. Plan a trip with a friend.
Read a book. Go see that new movie/rent your favorite movie.

Life can bring some horrible hurts. Find the small joys and take care of yourself.

:hug:

[JuniperLea]

38. Been there... I can only offer these wise words from another...

The Guest-House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture.

Still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice -
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

40. A couple of things to remember at times like this:

This too shall pass, everthing does sooner or later.

The sun is always shining behind the clouds. Always. It may not seem like it at times, but you know it is.
