Day 2 and anger sets in
the silence in this place is killing me.
I posted this because no one in real life does give two rips about me. I had to vent some feelings. I guess if poeople don't wanna read or deal with it they don't have to look at the thread. The silence here is killing me. I'm loosing my mind. I'm scared to go out my door and I don't have anyone else to talk to. And maybe this is teh only way I have right now of just....breaking down and crying for a few minutes. My "friends" only cared about who was using my ticket to the game today. (and maybe if it wasn't too much trouble I could go to their house and babysit all 5 kids while they went and had fun.) yeah..I know what I am to them. Free babysitter. My family went on vacation yesterday...gonna be gone until next week and then they are all going to Vegas for Christmas. I can't afford to go. Whatever. I don't need anyone anyway. I'm better off on my own. The silence will stop bothering me eventually and I will stop caring. |

I think, people see this stuff on TV and that gives them a false impression. The hero dude on the TV, fighting the bad guys, getting shot but continuing on out of sheer willpower... it's almost a cliché, isn't it? But it's obvious that the writers who pen those screenplays have either never faced a situation like that, or they're leaving things out to make it 'fun' for the viewer. Because on the TV, once they clean up the red corn syrup and put the actor's arm in a sling, everone's fine. Smiling, even. The end. Roll credits. See you next episode, Mr. Norris. And that's just not how it is. I guess it's fairly easy to imagine physical pain... you can see the wound, you can see the blood, and you can wince in sympathy. But it takes some subtlety to imagine everything that goes with it, and unfortunately people aren't that subtle.  Quote:

your right and after a nap things are a little less angry. These things are in cycles and I understand this is how it's going to be for awhile.
and...no fair picking on Stryker. he and I are very good friends and he was just frustrated he didn't get to hear about this until he read it. |

 You have every right to vent and feel upset. Sounds like your peers and family are real human beings. And I don't mean that sarcastically.I'm mad that I don't have anything to say besides sickening clichés -- and that the thing you need now probably isn't an outpour of words, but rather something no one here can give. Stryker is partially right. We can’t fly or drive over and have a cup of coffee. We can't take you for a fun night out on the town or invite you into our homes for a home-cooked meal. All we can do is talk and listen. Spread the word. That’s why we have the internet. A lot of people, not only those who have replied to this thread, have heard about a kind woman in Tennessee who is going through some rough times. They deeply sympathize. My parents' church is praying for you this morning. And we're here for you as much as people can be in a forum. We check back to see how you're doing, since we can't do that in real life. It’s not the same as spending time with you in person. But people know. We’re rooting for you -- and that, when the time comes, you’ll pull through for the better.

I really just love how a person that nobody even knew three days ago becomes so loved just because of a long sob story.
But again....Thats just me.

Wow! Get a life. I recall you complaining about being "ignored" before. Pretty pathetic. Maybe you're just not interesting enough for people to care about. |

*clears throat*
I'd hate to go "mini-mod" on everyone, but fighting won't solve anything. Heck, there was nothing to solve to begin with! All this will result in is a closed thread, some sour grapes, and a very hurt Katie. If you want to fight, PLEASE do it in PM. The last time I warned everyone about this resulted in a closed thread, so take heed now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyway, that really sucks about nobody being there for you, Katie. Have you tried getting through you "friend's" thick heads that you are in pain and most likely can not run around after five active children with one arm? And don't worry about the silence. When the universe began, there was silence. When you are in hospital there was silence. Soon the world of noise shall return to you and you'll be fine. Besides, we here at the Technodrome are here for your support. And now for your own entertainment to lift your spirits - BAD FAN OPENINGS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p6hhp4O4EA Keep your spirits up, okay? We are here for you

Just bringing up the f*cked up sh*t that happens around here. It's not about me at all.

If I saw some lady on the street, and I didn't know her, and she was looking lost and hurt, I would ask if I could help. Maybe, as you like to say, that's just me. But Katie isn't just some nameless person on the street to me. No, I don't know her very well, but I've talked and joked with her a bit, and I like her. Deal with it.

I have this funny habit of caring for people I've talked to online, also. True, I only know as much about Katie as I've gleaned from her posts, but I know there is a human being out there somewhere, having a rough time. And yes, I get sympathetic. It's frustrating because sympathy is about all I have to offer, but such is the internet.
Sometimes all it takes is knowing that people are thinking about you (if only for the time it takes to read a thread). *shrug* Maybe that only works for me because I'm just a sentimental loser, but ah well. *hums* The sun'll come out... tomorrow... |

Hope you feel better Katie! Get more sleep and you should be fine, you can't really trust anyone in this world anymore, pretty sad all this violence for no reason what so ever.

The only true thug here is Benvenuto, anyway.
Anyway, sorry I was so late to posting here, but that's a terrible story. Hope the best. Getting shot is no laughing matter. |

Yeah, I hadn't really posted either, I guess I wasn't sure what to say. It's pretty crazy though. Hope it's not too painful anymore. ^_^;;;

heh, thoughtI better update you guys.
I'm feeling lots better. I have a really special good friend who has been helping me tremendously. On sunday night he checked on me and we had a good tough love session. He let me yell and scream and basically sat their with his arms folded and took all my anger. Then he yelled back for awhile, let me know I was better than I was acting, and you know what? I began to feel better. He called me on Monday to make sure I was still doing ok..."being happy" And even though he had to work last night, he called me at 1 in the morning (I have been rather nocturnal lately so it was all good) after he got off to make sure I was ok and to let me know he hadn't forgotten me. He talks for hour with me about random things to keep my mind off all my bad thoughts and I thank him so much for all his help. he's truely amazing in every way. I hope he reads this and knows just how much he means to me. And how much I love him for all he is for me and how blessed I am to have him in my life...I hope he's there for a long long time. Thanks everyone for all the nice thoughts and prayers....I'm making it through

Katie that's great to hear! Here, here for this friend who has helped you through these rough times. Having no one after such a traumatizing experience must have been so rough.
I'm glad you are able to find solace here and in real time.
