I'm in both shock and awe. I'm in awe because Mum and I went to the new supermarket at the shopping center and my reaction to seeing it for the first time was "Whoa!". I'm also in shock because I bought myself a four ft plush fox (for christmas) off eBay yesterday and shipping was $88! but you love something the way I love foxes money is no object.

Three work days on top of full-time class is too much. Next semester I'll see if I can just do two days I think.

Why wait until next semester? Just have to say, I am proud of you for kicking *** and taking names, Opaline. Hope you feel better soon!

feel a bit of an idiot because I lied to someone and said I didn't have a webcam when they asked to skype. when the reality was that I do have a webcam, I just don't feel comfortable with doing video calls. social anxiety wins again.

There are a lot of problems with next to no solution. For like 8/9 years, I have almost left my life to take whatever direction it takes. I never felt like the captain of my ship. Its almost like my life is on auto pilot. Earlier I felt I am a mentally handicapped person, unable to do anything against my mental condition, but after spending years with it( ocd), I know quite a lot of tricks that mind is capable of playing. I still get anxious when I have "bad" thoughts but I know they dont mean anything. In the meanwhile, during all these years I lost a lot , and my life is really without any purpose. I feel its getting too late, and well I still dont know what I want from life .

Not a happy thing!

Oh I am sorry you feel so bad.

I am in the same boat, devoid of purpose. It is not a good feeling and I have also felt this way for almost 6 yrs and it feels like a lifetime.

I see no way to change this either. There's no solutions to my situation-I spend hrs trying to think of them and nothing is coming up anymore. No opportunities, no open doors. No fresh start somewhere new anymore.

Life most days feels like one big joke.

Feel down. Anxiety got the best of me today. Kind of bummed can't do anything for Halloween because of work and homework. Might go out and get some chocolate. My cat is howling mournfully because the kids left with their dad to go trick-or-treating. That makes two of us sad. Sad buddies :p

Yeah , I spend a lot of time thinking but nothing comes up. I am always disappointed at my inability to change things. I would like to believe that I can change things but no, it doesn't feels like real. All the plans or ways I think are not capable of changing things.

That can be frustrating... Do you have seasonal affective disorder? Maybe you are experiencing onset symptoms... sometimes I feel this way during this time of year.

I've given that some thought recently, but I don't think it's a disorder. I've felt like this in the summer (not this summer for some reason), winter, and especially in the fall, as much as I kind of enjoy the fall in a way. If that is the case, I think it's more driven by people's spirit/attitude this time of year, Halloween makes me a bit negative because of all the sentiment around it, yet the other holidays at the end of the year isn't as bad for me.

On top of the world. Graduated from police academy yesterday, which was the culmination of 3 years of hard work and preparation. I have a job already, but I'm also one of the top position candidates for the department I really want to work for. So here's to hoping things keep going well.
