Been a rough month.

I mentioned my childhood friend dying.
My uncle has just been moved to hospice and we've been told "it won't be long"
A family in my church just had a fire and lost everything. On my way up to see them so we can get our Deacon's resources marshaled.

Sheesh.

So sorry, Eddie. You've been in my thoughts lately.

You guys are all great. Thanks so much.

We just found out that the funeral is Tuesday in North Carolina. My brother and I are going to make the drive from PA and pay our respects.

I clearly was not meant to be born as a human being.

Hopefully I get a better shot next reincarnation... If I even get reincarnated, though I suppose that'd be a waste.

We spent a small fortune on a brand new summer comforter set for our bedroom.

It doesn't fit in the washer. How is it that we have a giant washer and can't wash a comforter? So we are going to have to find a dry cleaner or laundromat with a commercial washer that has a larger drum.

So disappointed. /end petty vent.

Eddie - I am so sorry you are going through this. Will be thinking of you.

Teacup Tiger - (((hugs))) you are somebody now. One of the quotes that always made me feel better was "Be who you are, and say what you mean because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." (And yes it is a Dr. Seuss quote). Also, when I was going through a really rough time, a friend gave me a poem. Kept it with me at all times. You might like it too. It is called: Thinking, by Walter D. Wintle.

A line in my transmission went(hopefully!). Which isn't horribly expensive to fix for a car with 140,000 on it but still the only thing I go out of town for is coming up and not sure I am going to go now because . . .

They are talking about completely redoing our unit at work which is aweosome!!! But that could mean laying us off for an unknown amount of time which is not while they do it and my savings is more an animal savings for hay and house stuff emergencies and animal emergencies not so much household bills( though I will manage but this will be the year septic goes and hay is high you watch!!!). And there are so many things I wanted to do this summer to pastures and pond and it won't happen if I am worried about that.

Ugh.

I priced out a new truck. Good god. If I didn't need four wheel drive I could get the cheap model Mercedes that's all wheel drive much much cheaper. Still angered there are no SUVs I like because it's somewhat stupid to get a F150 when we have a F250 but closest to what I like. Think I am just going to try to get my truck to last another three years and pay cash.

I am feeling the car blues with you!

I finally bought a cute explorer that was within my price range. The romance quickly faded and in the month I've had the explorer I've drove it one time. Every mechanic I've talked to has a different answer. Cracked intake manifold, clogged catalytic converter, coil pack needs to be replaced (already did this), to the engine is blown.

I've been waiting to get my own vehicle for over a year now and when I do, this happens? It's pretty depressing because I spent all the money I had on this vehicle and would need to start saving all over again for a new one. I'm tired of these setbacks, as soon as I think I'm getting ahead, something out of my control knocks me back to square one.

Dear Coworker, maybe if you'd stop all of this passive-aggressive bullshark, you wouldn't feel the need to always bring up what a good person you are.


Dear co-workers who are sick, you are sick. Either take a sick day, or take you computer and go work from home. We have enough people out/working from home because they are sick, we don't need this spreading.

Is there any retribution that you can get from the seller? :/ That's crappy.

$500 for my wiener's nasty little teeth. I am not surprised since I pay this like every 6 months, but **** his teeth. Nothing keeps them clean. My vet joked we should just pull them all and call it a life.

I'm just so done with everything.

I'm tired of feeling alone, tired of feeling worthless and stupid.
I'm tired of feeling like I'm alone in the world and I don't have a single friend. I just want help, I want to be normal again.

But I can't even get help because, I should just suck it up. I want to be able to vent to somebody without feeling I'm being judged or told my problems aren't that bad because I have a decent job, a roof over my head and a steady relationship. I just want someone to look at me and tell me I'm not alone in this world and life is worth living.

Because most days life doesn't feel like it's worth living, and most days I wonder why I bother anymore with even trying.

I just want help.....

Big ((((HUGS)))). I'm so sorry your feeling this way. If you ever need to vent, PM me. I won't judge, and will try to help as best as I can.

Getting help is so hard.Really hard. Your not alone. I'm were you are right now. I want to get help, but

Anyone who tells you to suck it up, just should **** off. You are important, and your issues due matter. You matter to me, and your an awesome person. I wish we lived closer, so I could have the opportunity to meet you.

If you are thinking of suicide, please try to talk to someone, or at least use the hotlines eddieq provided. And...Right now, it may sound like good choice to make, it may seem reasonable, but it isn't reasonable.
