How are you feeling?

I can't believe this thread is almost 10 years old! :O

Well I'm feeling pretty horrible, I've felt down last few days haven't felt like doing much and haven't slept a whole lot despite feeling tired. Then to add to that someone said something that upset me and I cried for an hour, the smallest things people say affect me in big ways, I can't explain it. I wish I could just have thicker skin but everything I've tried never works. I guess I hate myself.

That's exactly what I'm going through now.

I feel like I should just stay in this misery, then I would expect it and get use to it and not expect to feel better. Although that probably makes no sense what so ever.

Ah huv'nae bin daein too well, lately. Which is, ironically, is ma reason fur no' postin' oan here as much.

The metaphorical black dug's humpin' ma leg again. Fur those ae youse who didnae git that, allow me tae translate:

Ah'm depressed as f**k! :sad:

Under a lotta stress fae ma ungrateful, inconsiderate, control-freak of eldest sibling. Ah feel like ah'm jist baw-hair away fae contemplatin' ma ain death... again.

Well it's either that or ah moved tae Wisconsin - or some other American State wi' a funny name - or Canada...? The further away fae the people who bring oot the worst in me the better.

Also, ah've bin procrastinatin' like The Queen - sittin' on ma arse daein f**k all! So much tae do, and ah cannae be bothered. :kickmyself:

Move to Wisconsin. It's not paradise, but I promise it isn't as cold as the grave (well, almost, haha!)
On a serious note Graeme, if you can, just get out of that environment.
Okay, here's a story: I was stuck in a lease once with a roommate who was the devil herself. I felt trapped and depressed, actually, oppressed is a better word for it. I expressed how I felt to a friend who casually said "well, move out." I said "I can't, I have a lease, responsibility etc.." She said "just do. Just get up and do it." I did. Somehow hearing it out of her mouth in such a casual way helped me gain the courage to take that step, take that chance, and it was the best decision I ever made.
So I say to you "just do. Just get up and do it." Sometimes you have to get good and mad before you find the strength to make that change- if that's what you really want to do.
I'm here cheering for you in Wisconsin (I'm the one standing on the glacier, ha!)
On a funny note, I'd love to hear you try to pronounce Wisconsin. They won't let you in unless you can pronounce it :bigsmile:

Thanks, but how...? Ah mean it's a bit difficult fur me tae pit masel' first withoot bein' called "selfish" in ma family. And they aw still - apparently - love me an' think highly of me. That despite, y'know, make me feel self-coscious aboot nearly every aspect o' masel' within the last 6 years.

Huvin a shelter upbringin' huznae exactly prepare me tae wi' livin' on ma ain wi' ma physical disability.

Ye mean, like, hear ma actual voice, recorded? :thinking: Ah'd need tae invest in a decent microphone afore doin' that again. Pronouncation o' American States isnae ma strong suite... Albuquerque is hard enough tae, let alone, spellin' the f**ker.

There really is no perfect answer in a situation like yours. I hope you find a way to find happiness despite all you are going through.

You don't have to go so far as to actually record yourself, I was just imagining how (forgive me) funny it would sound to hear it. I know when I was in Ireland they refused to try to pronounce it, haha!

No there no'... Though, ah'd be a lot happier if ah wuz treated a bit better by ma oldest sister, but she doesnae see any problem wi' how she treats me. So ah've gave up tryin' git folk tae empathise wi' ma situation. Coz everytime ah do try an' make someone try to see things fae ma perspecive ah jist end up mair alienated, ostricised and alone.

Oh, okay... ah wuz up fur that wee challenge, though. :giggle:

Nae need tae apologise, hen. If it make ye smile tae imagine me pronouncin' Wis-con-sin (this that how it's said? Ah've always heard it said phonetically) - then have at it. It would be funny, rightly enough...

That's odd, coz it's doesnae sound weird when ah say it - assumin' ah've pronounced it, correctly? Mibbe they were jist self-conscious aboot the Irish accent. Ah know ah git really self-conscious aboot ma accent and way ah talk when speakin' tae non-Scottish folk, sometimes.

If you're up for the challenge, then I think you should do it :applause:
