I want to hear it!

I'm ill too, and in dire need to be cheered up. I think I'm going to quit my job because I can't take it anymore. I'm treated like shit, work way to many hours, my boss is a supreme twat and I've never been so stressed and tired in my whole life. Argh.

I've become a sissy, when people are nasty to me on the internet it doesn't feel very nice inside. Yet I'm still a prick to most probably.

Pretty standard stuff, really. About the situation arising in my pants and your feet diffusing it.

So many people here have so many infinitely bigger and harder things to deal with... it put things in perspective for me - which is in itself selfish and obviously of no hope to anyone else - but "thanks", in some strange way.

Man, those are some sad stories... good luck with the future people, I sincerely hope you find ways out of your situations.

Simmo, don't feel that way. Everybody gets different things thrown at them; out of the blue or otherwise, that they have to deal with. It's not a contest, where one person's suffering is validated, and someone else's isn't because it's nor as severe or traumatic. The things that cause you pain are the things that cause you pain, you can't help that, you just need to deal with it, and not put yourself down because it's not as bad as someone else's suffering or trauma.

Dear PRF,
I just wanted to thank the folks who typed out all of the kind words and thoughtful advice. I really appreciate it. I finally got some 'lectricity so things are starting to look up a little. The last week has been rather hellish and every time I got a little down I remembered that somewhere in the electronic ether of the interweb there were thoughts floating around about my stupid bullshit.
As if I needed confirmation, this has been that confirmation that indeed this is the best forum in the whole of the interweb populated by kind, generous, thoughtful, intelligent folk and not cynical high schoolers sitting in their mother's basements trying to fabricate a life by being mean, sarcastic douchenozzles.
I hope all is going well for the other posters in this topic and hopefully I can repay those words in kind.

Thanks a ShitTon,
DM

it just gets worse and worse.

A girl I knew as a lover no longer wants to talk to me, and is leaving this part of the country soon. With her departure I'm sinking again into my expected role in my other life, as a sanitized, asexual boy devoid of the unpleasant emotions that made others uncomfortable when they first made their debut years ago.

Don't want to start a new thread. Has anybody ever gotten over OCD? I've heard of "immersion therapy", but it just sounds horrible.

I am not currently depressed in any way, but I do agree with a lot of the earlier posts. I recently received an email from an ex that brought back a rush of old emotions. Trouble was she wasn't writing to ask how I was doing or say how she was doing, just simply making a statement of how she saw my name listed somewhere on the internet. Weird. Oh well, that's why they're ex's!

I don't mean you ill will, but you should wish her well. Moving some place else is one of the best ways to change behavior.

I don't know anything about your life, but if it's anything like what you describe as it relates to her; change that shit. I recently did something similar. I had a bad break up in January and my life pretty much changed because of it. I stopped working, finished a book, travelled Europe, and all kinds of other things. We sorta got back together in May, and it soured already. Rather than prolong the horrible, I'm trying to be smart about it and just go back to experimental mode. I miss(ed) her, but I was falling back into the same things I spent the past six months getting away from. Fuck Life. I'm going to go back to just living. If I die old and alone; whatever.

I guess I'm saying that you should use it as an opportunity to grow. Do that thing you've always wanted to do but couldn't.

I hope it all works out.
