i hope so too. thanks all.

i have been. i’ve been going out and meeting people, doing what guys do… she doesn’t cross my mind very much while i’m awake. but when i’m sleeping, her face seems to be everywhere. weird huh?

they’re mostly just dreams of us doing things that we would do together… hanging out, and enjoying each others company. and ok, maybe bad blood and resentment is a bit of a stretch because i was the one that broke it off, but i just feel awkward trying to talk to her again because i’m one of those people who can’t maintain a friendship after a certain line has been crossed.

honestly, some people can make a friendship work with an ex and some people can’t. i’m one of the latter.

[quote dorianvalentine]Dreams are dreams, they don’t mean a thing. If your subconscious is trying to tell you anything, maybe it’s just that you’re ready to make that kind of commitment to someone again.[/quote]

hm… didn’t think of it that way.

[quote Jerry_Man]Your subconscious probably doesn’t like the way you have a bad relationship now. Also there’s a massive dependence on what the dreams are as to what the significance is.[/quote]

there’s bad blood between us, but in my dreams, we’re all lovey-dovey and sh*t. and yeah, you’re right about the dependence, but aren’t you ever curious about what they might mean?

anything is possible. it’s all about balancing and prioritizing the things you have to take care of… just don’t forget to breathe.

i have friends who go to school full time with 18+ units per semester, work two jobs to put themselves through school, and some have family they also have to take care of. they all seem to have their sh*t straight… you can do it too!

percocet is a painkiller

oh wow, 4 times? i’ve never been outside of the US that many times. that’s pretty awesome.

and there’s nothing wrong with your identity. you grew up with it so that’s what’s normal to you… don’t let anyone tell you different!

no way. you can’t help who or what you love… you just do.

and just out of curiosity, how many times have you been to india?

so it seems anon lol. that pretty much sums up my day… except i work at night and when i get off, i stay up until the ***-crack of dawn.

yeah, don’t get too worked up about it just yet. make your impressions when you actually start living together.

confined.

i’ve only left my apartment this week to go to work… i guess it’s partially because i have a cold, and i really need the rest. but i’m so antsy, i want to go out and do something. and some human human contact aside from the IMing would be nice.

sorry unluckyone, i couldn’t tell you haha. i’m in the process of switching my major to psych so i haven’t actually taken a psych class… yet. sorry about the confusion.

but i mean, it seems as if we’re both doing it out of habit. or it’s just that we’ve made it a routine so our body is used to it.

everyday for two weeks already seems like you ARE addicted.

[quote well1]man i need a drink so bad its just killing me[/quote]

and that right there my friend is an alcoholic’s statement.

is there anyone within your family that you can confide in?

because jumping straight to AA is i big committment.

i’m actually willing to keep this job because it’s pretty laid back. i don’t mind the hours, and i think after the semester starts, my hours are going to be cut back a little. so maybe i’ll get more sleep.

and i’m a psychology major.

pae, you’re not the only one who’s trying to deal with this. i know how hard it is too. my drinking got so bad, that two of my best friends had to sit down and talk to me on separate occasions. they said i become a completely different person when i drink too much. since then, i’ve been pretty good about keeping my drinking in check, but i slip up once in a while. i’m only human. and also, i’m not too proud to be known among my friends as “the tank”… i’m 5′6″, 135lbs and i can drink as much as someone that is twice my size.

just wanted to let you know, you’re not alone. as long as you know it’s a problem, you have the power to fix it.
