How are you feeling?

Anxious about going out tonight, for some reason. I keep coming up with as many excuses as I can to stay home (and there aren't many). Just have a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach about it... Maybe I shouldn't have eaten anything.

I'm trying to scale back a bit on Klonopin, but I resorted to taking one a moment ago just to try and get rid of this anxious feeling.

Very, very angry, tormented, twitchy, close to losing my shit. :kickingmyself:

Every time I think things are settled, they come up with a new, incredibly stupid, and dishonest way to stir things up again. They're trying to drive me completely out of my mind, and it's working. I can only hope to be dead in my grave before my current lease runs out, because I don't think I can renew it again without ending up in the state asylum for the criminally insane.

Nothing I can do tonight since I don't know where they live (which is good for everyone).

Monday . . . :bat:

Going out was a good idea after all. Two people talked to me (though I could barely hear them over the music). I didn't leave with any new numbers in my phone, but it was a little progress.

Despite a dilemma I'm going through, I'm satisfied so far.

I have a friend who got married a year or so ago, and he keeps inviting me round for dinner or a movie or games, and to spend time with his wife and kid, but I just don't want to and I feel so guilty and conflicted about it. I keep making up excuses, fairly honest excuses mind, I said once that I was in hermit mode and just didn't feel up for coming round for dinner. But I'm wondering if I can really keep this up forever!? Why do I have to meet his wife and kid? He's moving to America in a couple years, so that's why I'm thinking, why bother. And I think I'm just gonna keep it that way tbh. If he asks again, I'll just be honest and say, I don't really want to come round your house and play games and meet your wife and kid. I find most social situations draining, and that one sounds particularly challenging. I know it's not really the done thing. Most people would go and meet there friends new wife and kids. But I'm not like most people. I'm a loner and have no real need for them. That probably sounds so cold, but that's really how I see it. But am I in the wrong in anyway? I hope not. I hope I'm entitled to feel this way.

I definitely feel like I'm being ignored. There's someone I've been trying to talk to, and I think it's evident they don't want to talk to me even though they haven't come out and said they don't (actions speak louder than words). This is making me feel so sad right now...
 
Having 5 days off before school starts again. The thought of it felt very good at first but I don't have much to do to entertain myself and the weather hasn't been so great these days so I'm mostly inside. I feel really bored at times.

You're definitely untitled to feel that way, just as he will be entitled to feel hurt by your honestly.

I can relate to how you feel because i sometimes get invites for functions, and i always bail...

A couple of years ago, i was waiting in line to say for something, and on the phone with a good friend of mine. I was rejecting her invitation to go out... i always did. The lady in line behind me, spoke up after i hung up... and she told me that i should make the effort to go just as they make the effort to invite me again and again. That is because sooner or later t he invites will stop coming, my phone will stop ringing and i would have wished to have something to do or someone to talk to. Because they truly do stop trying to include you.

At the time, i thought... well good. I dont want to go anywhere. However, now.... im glad that i made an effort with the closest people around me. The invitations are not as many, and i still dread going but once i am there.... even if its just for an hour or two... im glad i went.

Im not saying this so that you will go and meet his family, because as you said.... he is moving anyway. However... in your position i would go for one dinner as a thank you for at least trying to reach out.

Just hud a massive argument/rant wae ma mum. Telt her if she gonnae continue acting like the "Stupid, idiot, c**t" as she thinks everybuddy treats her like. Playin' tha victim cuz tha wimmin ma life are great at that. But then they put oan this fake lovin' front as am the bad guy aw tha time.

So ah telt her if she's gonnae act like that then she cun pack her bags an F*** OFF!! Cuz ah huv hud enough uh her negative attitude. Ah cannae pit up with it anymair. It make me feel irritated.

Now, ah know us Scots can be just dour-faced, pessimistic f***ers at times. But no, aw tha f***in' time... F***in' hell!!

Like ah really need some dour c**t bring me doon efter huvin expensive surgery. :veryangry: :kickingmyself:

Comtemplatin' gan on the lash and gettin' drunk? Or endin' masel'?

Lonely, isolated, trapped, tired of life. Ugly, too. It's hard to have much of a life when you can't show your face in public most of the time. I used to be a good-looking, well-dressed dude. How did this happen? :confused:

No one ever gets it, and I don't know how to explain. It's so hard to talk about. Photographs . . . reality . . . the camera doesn't always capture the whole truth. If you could meet me in person and see what I see, I think you'd understand.

Yes, please. :thumbup:
