Thanks Cougar! if only it was that easy to change my diet around my mother, I mean we do eat healthy, kind of but if I ever make a suggestion (I'm not allowed to cook) she goes mental, and I don't think this will make her listen because when I have my attacks she calls me lazy and that I'm over-reacting...
The good thing, as I said before is that fatty foods now makes me nauseus to even think about... no question I have for years in my life used food to both try to heal my soul and harm my body, something among other things I will have to discuss with my doctor during the cognitive therapy sessions.
Another thing, I have been giving my best friend the silent treatment for more than a month now and it really hurts... but I needed her to come over, I may not have said 'please come and stay in my room, I am so distressed I really need a friend' but when I invited her for a sleep over in my room she knew I was having a rough time and she still chose her boyfriend who she litterally sees 24/7 over me when she told me she couldn't because she had to be with her boyfriend... I hadn't even set a date, just a weekend when it suited her... then when she noticed I was giving her the cold shoulder she thinks its because she was in London on my Birthday and never, even later sent a message saying Happy Birthday... she just can't see it... I think I need to tell her sometime but I'm just scared of what will happen between us... I know she loves him, who ever he is

If it wasn't because I spent most of the day in bed today is one of the days I should never have gotten out of bed at all...
I spent the night having one of my painful attacks and had to call in sick at work, then I got a few hours of sleep and got my lunch pack out of the fridge, which my cat stole and it ended up between the oven and the cupboard so I had to go out and get this thing my mum got when she had her hip replaced or picking stuff up from the floor and in the process kicked my bare feet into this heavy, unyielding box and now I think my middle toe might be broken, my feet were already sore and all that because I didn't want to bend down for a few seconds because bending down makes my abdominal pains worse... somehow I managed to cut my finger... I'm realizing I may risk having an attack at the masked ball I'm so looking forward on the 30th because that is also my last day at work... and then my friend who cancelled our date (which I was okay with since I sick and tired) just posted that instead of the reason she gave me she was with some friends having a blast all day on Facebook... bleh
I'm trying to take it all with a smile, and I actually laughed when I banged my toe and all... but I'm getting sick of my friends picking other people over me, I have been there for them more than anyone else has, it's me they come for when they have problems, I'm the one they trust but when it's about fun, or I need them around... GAH!!
I'm about to think things were easier before I had my first friend at 16

OMG Shamrocks! that is one of the most obscene laws I have heard, obviously your country has problems financially but there shouldn't be a reason for that! I'm outraged! they tried to pass something like this here too but it was never put in full effect
I hope something can be done!

We have the same system and law on our health system in Spain. I do hope everything will develop nicely for you not having to endure that hard situation. Fingers crossed for you to find a job, but these are hard times for everyone, I'm about loosing mine if things don't change dramatically, but don't forget that when a door closes, a new window is open.

I'm not too happy because I'm beginning to realize that in a week it's my last day at my unpaid secretary job for the state and when this is over I'll be back at the program for young people on benefits showing up in some cold room for 2 hours 4 days a week staring at a screen supposed to be looking for jobs which in my case takes 10 minutes... the place reeks of no future, but I guess its better than staying home

I'm about to get fired...just because 5 people who got their panties in a knot about one JOKE that I made earlier this week don't like me...
What am I going to do?? Granted, yes, I've been looking for a new job but it seems like now I'm in dire need of a new one immediately, so i applied to a former job...the one place nobody ever wants me to work ever again but I don't have anywhere else to go.
*cries*

I'm with you girls, I managed to get an unpaid job a few weeks ago and they kinda asked me to do the hardest stuff like cleaning the rooms and fixing the doors, carrying heavy stuff upstairs etc. My back didn't agree with that, and my doctor litterally begged me to quit, she said that if I kept going like this I would eventually end up in a hospital (I swear, the pain kept me awake all night).
Now that I have quit that job my back slowly gets better and I can sleep my much needed 6 hours a night.
So I'm seconding Wikkleshamrocks, let's have a virtual group hug!
\o/

@ Bunnie and Shamrocks: yes, sadly it is indeed possible to be fired "just like that" in America. It's called "At will" employment, which means the employer has the leverage and control to hire and fire at will. And they do not even have to give you a reason why you have been let go. If your boss doesn't like your shirt or the way you wear your hair, or something you said, they can fire you without giving you an explanation. It's just the way it is. Which is why I've always kept my mouth shut in the workplace no matter how hard it was for me, lol - you never know who may be listening or what their opinions are. Or who may be your boss one day.  I'm really pulling for all you girls to find good, sustaining employment. There is almost nothing more stressful than needing work and not being able to find any.  Don't give up! Keep trying, stay positive, and sooner or later things will go your way.  |

I'm not happy because the auto repair shop has not fixed our car at all (in fact they may have made it worse!) and they have had it for almost two weeks now!  And that is our only car! I've had to resort to walking and riding the bus to my classes and bumming rides off friends if it's raining and or I have to walk far. It sucks! And I have no idea when they will be finished with it. Ugh!  |

It just pisses me off that I've been working there for nearly two years now--granted, this manager has never liked me, she waited until I was right UNDER her where I took orders DIRECTLY from her to eat me alive...I should really call HR but what would I say, and I know she could wiggle her way out of it and then sue me...
or maybe it could be all worth it? I don't know, but I've applied for other jobs today, and talked to my boss at my other job, and she can't do much in the way of help except for advice.

Stuff on the MJ board I co-own and run are bothering me a bit... some members are creating their own place, fine, fair enough... but it all seems like they want to make a 'better version' of our site, like ours isn't good enough... they have that attitude and a former co-owner who was kicked for good reasons seems to be on that team now as a mod... she used to be my friend before she betrayed us all, I gave her a chance and quickly learned she was sweet-talking me, hoping to gain information by offering to get me a pirated version of In Time early on...
Oh well, drama drama and all that... not worth to be bummed about is it?

We take suggestions, we have a whole forum for that and we take it all into considerations... just annoys me that we've spent so much money, time and what not to create a forum for them and they do this... oh well
Other than that I'm not happy either because I have gotten a food poisoning, grrr

I'm having some major panic/anxiety lately, and I don't know if it's just stress from college or what. I have somehow developed this fear of going crazy and not being able to move up in life. I know it's an irrational fear, but can't seem to control it either way. Mental illness runs in my family, so perhaps it stems from that. Not really sure if it is anxiety attacks but I'd really like it to go away! I can go about my day absolutely fine, and when I'm with friends and family, again I'm fine. But once I'm alone, I start to dwell on it. I just wish college was done already, and that I didn't have to slave all summer to earn tuition and could just escape somewhere warm where I could lay in the sun and not care about anything. |

Cait you need to have that sorted out, that is a horrible fear to go about with, and if it's 'just' stress there can be done things too before it's too late
I hope you get better soon!

Cait, have you tried checking if your thyroid is not working properly? A simple blood test will tell you. I'm asking because I had the very same problem last year, I thought it was stress, but in fact it was the thyroid which was overworking.....it can happen at any age, it's not a very serious illness, but it can be mistaken for stress....I know it because I thought I was having a bervous breakdown. Well, hope you are better soon.
As for me, I'm not happy because I have too much to do at work. They hired me with the promise not to leave me alone (I'm operations/customer care) and in fact I've been alone for nearly 4 months with stacks of work to do and just my 2 hands....10 days ago they swore they would hire me an intern, but still no news of that. I'm skipping lunch break every day because I cannot cope with all this work. No one seems to care. Moreover, it takes me nearly 2 hrs to commute, I spend more than 3 hrs a day on a stupid train/tube/tramway so I'm truly fed up.
The only thing that keeps me sane is the thought that I'll be in London in 12 days to see Misterman.
