I’m great. I just shouted my own damn self, but I’m great. If you would like, I would be glad for you to join a group of help.com friends on my site.. http://luminosity.ning.com
Having your heart broken is like someone dropping a champaign glass in your kitchen. You can sweep up the pieces, but later on when you’re going about your business you feel a stabbing pain and know you’ve stepped on a shard that you missed. It’s the tiny things that hurt.
Hi! LOL, yea schools ok… I like math, Im not all that good in it but its challenging, and thats always fun for me. Whats you favorite subject in school?
I’m great. You shouted me just after I left for vacation. It’s good to hear that you’re better. Are you okay with the ups and downs, now? Better able to understand yourself?
haha it’s more like how I’m always feeling. Like.. I’ve lost so much that I just detach myself from everything to avoid getting hurt too badly when i do lose something. The detachment leads to apathy, and the apathy drains passions out of me. I don’t even know what would make me happy anymore.
Life isn’t a straight line. It has curves, hills, valleys and mountaintops. It’s okay to cry and to be down. Be encouraged when you’re in the down cycle that a few hours later, or a couple of days later, you’ll feel better. It’s when you feel down for days and days, and you can (at least I can) physically feel a heaviness of heart, that you need to seek help. Otherwise, life is meant to have highs and lows. Without them it would be boring.
In my humble opinion it depends on why you started crying. Were they tears of sorrow, joy or nostalgia?
At times when I have been perfectly happy, or at least close to it, I have sometimes cried. I’ve cried out of sympathy for someone else, out of joy, and of course at sentimental or nostalgic movies.
On the other hand, if you began sobbing and you weren’t even thinking about anything in particular, that suggests that you have some underlying conflict or grief with which you haven’t yet dealt. The sum of our experiences is not always apparent in our daily reveries, our ongoing thought dialogue. You may have something that’s bothering you, which you’ve repressed. Even if that’s so, it does NOT mean that you have a serious problem or are emotionally unstable. But our subconscious minds do have a way of bringing to the surface issues that we wouldn’t otherwise address.
i’m good. just finished playing the role of easter bunny for my kids, as in filling easter baskets and hiding eggs. are you doing okay? it’s been awhile since we talked.
I don’t think that she would open up to people here. It took me a while to get her to trust me. I really wish she would get some help. As far as I know she doesn’t cut anymore but she needs more help than I can give her. All I can do is support her and be there for her. She’s just really starting to scare me and I won’t be able to sleep now for a while beause I will be worried about her. Hey I’m about to go to bed so I will talk to you more tomorrow.
it sounds like she needs to see a counselor, but i know that sometimes people don’t feel they are ready for that. i have to admit that i don’t understand cutting. i know you’ve struggled with it, and there are others on help.com who are winning that fight themselves. do you think she would open up to people here?
you did the right thing in defending your friend. even if there was some truth to what the guy said, the fact that he’s criticising her is wrong. i hope your friend gets the help she needs. a lot of long-lasting friendships are built on the foundation of just plain old practical help for each other. yeah, maybe when you are in need, you gravitate to others who are in need too. that’s human, and it’s better than superficial friendships built on social status. you have a right to be upset.
Perhaps your best friend unintentionally hurt you. She could have had issues troubling her too that just distracted her and made her irritable. You can always call her up and ask how she’s doing, and while talking with her you can nonchalantly tell her how she hurt you. A lot of people have been down today, including myself. I wonder why..well, I hope you feel better. *hugs*
