A few months ago when I was still in highschool, a group of guys in my geography class treated me like sh*t for no reason. It only happened in the class, wee things at first. Throwing pens at me, telling me to "shut up" when ever I said anything, ridiculing everthing I said. And I ignored them. As you do. Eventually they humiliated me in front of the rest of the 6th years and I ended up in tears.

This sort of thing happens in college? Wha...?

bleah. my life's an open book.


I mainly use Mircette 4 week pack. (those are the good ones that don't make me a loony bin case) I have a few month supply of yasmin that I use in emergencies (or when I am too short on cash to get my good pills) THOSE are the bad ones. Weepy, paranoid, tired, hadn't been depressed until this time......but that only happens on my "off" week. The Mircette pills have hormones in all the weeks' pills, even the off ones. maybe that is the difference. I dunno

[Jo Dawn]

I'm no doctor, but I'll throw it out there that it is the difference.

My last Pill was the same; no hormones the last week of the pack, and it was awful. For, really, the whole month, but then especially. I just started a new Pill a few days ago (and while the switch is really hitting me for the first few days) I can already feel a difference in myself in the 'emotional, miserable' type way.

Much luck to you.

[Jo Dawn]

I feel... So awful...

Oh, and PS... I believe this is if not the,then around the one year anniversary of me getting sick, initially.

Let's party.

[Katie]

*hugs*

ya know......I've never had an illnes that they couldn't figure out, but I have been banged up alot in my life for whatever reason. the words of wisdom that were passed to me and I shall pass now: All the trials in your life are really small blessings in disguise.....the hardships are what make you stronger.

I have no doubt in my mind that you are a strong person and absolutely will beat this...whatever it turns out to be.....you just have to keep a positive outlook and visualize yourself getting better each and every day

[SassyGal]

*sigh*
If you're right about hardships making you stronger, Katie, than I shall be He-Man very shortly

I sometimes feel like I am getting someone else's share of trials and tribulations. Of course, I am feeeling a little on the depressed side of life because it's been a year since my last failed pregnancy and I am starting to get antsy, worried that it may never happen for me. Everyone keeps saying you're still young, but I still worry. All I've ever wanted was to be married and have a baby.

Okay, feeling slightly better after spilling my guts. I really hope you get better soon, Jo. I'm thinking of you!

I know how you feel. sometimes I feel like I am the star of this cosmic reality show.....le's see what we can put her through next!!

I can identify with only ever wanting to be married and have kids. I have the same dreams.....but I'm fairly certian that neither of those two things will happen for me. I figure if I can get into that mindset, then I will never be disappointed. and if sweetie decides to prove me wrong some day, well then that's fine with me. I love him to bits and pieces, but something tells me when it comes down to it, I'm better off in my mindset then getting all excited about my future. Every time that happens I get left heartbroken. (even if last time it was because he died)

It's not that I think he doesn't love me, mind you, (actually, he loves me alot.) it's just that I feel because of my previous experiences that I will be in the same boat eventually. I love him, I want him to prove me wrong, but I will stay in my protective shell until that happens, thanks.

Ok, so today at I school, when I was buying lunch, a friend of mine was kinda desperate and didn't wanna stand in line, so I figured I'd pay for his lunch along with mine. I thought things were going all fine and good until I actually had to pay for the food: a chicken sandwich, a Gatorade, and cheese pizza for my buddy -- which I figured I had enough money for. I handed the cashier -- also someone I know -- $6.25, which I thought would cover it. It sounded like he said I needed five more dollars, but I wasn't sure if was being serious or charged me for two of something. I was being annoyed by the person behind me and wasn't in the mood to argue, so I walked off. I thought about it for awhile and it didn't make sense that I was five bucks short. Now I'm wondering if I see the cashier around campus, if I should talk to him to see if I ripped him off or not.

[Katie]

wouldn't dude have come after you if you shorted him that much? (or sent someone after you?) If I was on register and someone shorted me five dollars you better believe I'd be on that.

[Jo Dawn]

I went after the kids who shorted me a DIME. No way anyone walked away with shorting ME money.

Gotta learn some respect, those kids.

My life is nuts right now with my neighbors. Several months ago, the son's cat ran away however, he believes that my dog chased the cat away. So, he would not talk to me. To this day, he still will not talk to me in a gentle tone. The only times that he would talk to me, he would bad mouth me. Then 10 days ago, a friend of the neighbors hit my car (Subaru) as they were backing out of a parking space. They left the scene without telling that they hit my car. Anyways, I called the cops to get a police report without knowing that several hours later, my neighbor tells me what happened. At this point, I was mad because I just got my car back from another fender-bender.

I'm having a wee inner turmoil. The same guys that are tryng to annoy me are spending their lunch at a house getting baked. I've been thinking of telling a lecturer. But I don't want to give these guys anymore reason to dislike me. Should I just leave it till a lecturer figures it out or tell them.

Or just keep my nose out?

Honestly, I would stay quiet to start off with. If these guys are coming in to class wasted all the time then the lecturer will probably pick up on this fact. Leave it a couple of week then if he still doesn't notice, then tell your lecturer about what they're getting up to. Ask him to keep it confidential that it was you that told him in the first place. Least that's what i'd do.

As for your bus driver going past your stop, that's when you gotta start ringing the bell continuously and yell "HEY DRIVER, THAT'S MY STOP, LEMME OFF!!!!" Then you dive towards his feet, hit the brakes, push the emergency door open button and get the hell outta there!! Betcha next time you get on the bus he won't drive past your stop (without stopping)...

Why do you care if they're getting high? Unless they're bothering anyone, stay out of it.

I feel like I'm going insane. I'm working on a computer assignment with some idiot who doesn't want to work, so I'm pretty much doing everything. Today I just started crying silently for seemingly no reason...but it's just all of the stress with everything. It's a big task, and here I am trying to get it done with a dead weight idiot for help. I...I really do feel like I'm loosing it. I'm expecting my mind to snap and start screaming at people before they throw me in a padded white room. You think you've experienced insanity until you have tried to do a group task on your own, constant pestering from your partner, AND get graded on it. I'm already getting some people involved at school, but...I just feel like the whole world is crushing my soul right now...

Those people can treat me however they want, I won't be living my life in a depressed hazed because how sh*tty I'm treated.

Instead of being happy about having so many supportive friends and a great family, I was just dwelling on stupid sh*t. Even with the ups that would make me happy, I would ALWAYS find away to bring myself back down. I'm totally done with that, no one is going to stop me from being myself and being happy anymore.

PEANUT IS F*CKING BACK!

Good to hear as well, I know this is kind of late, but yeah im crazy like that. Sort of the same thing for me, I have been having a hard time putting up that front that everything is alright, which is what I was, even if I was absolutely upset or depressed, I would always carry out my life with pure happiness and look to the good and enjoy life and not allow others to know my current state of mind, which now is slowly breaking at me. But im slowly getting back to that great state of mind, enjoying life no matter what it happens to throw at you. Im sure I have stated my situation before but not in much detail so here goes it, thanks to anyone who reads this crazyness!

Well it all started quite a few years ago, in a pool league online, Yahoo Pool to be specific, I was an avid Yahoo Games player back in the day, all kinds of card games and pool. where I met a girl named Crystal, who is my girlfriend of 2 and a half years, and trust me, laugh it up, because I have had many people laugh and think my situation was stupid and it won't work, but they were proven wrong, so there! Anyways, we've been going good, its truly a great relationship, I plan to marry this girl in the coming years, its a match made in Heaven as they call it. We would do a 6 month basis thing, every six months or so we'd visit eachother, I went there twice so far, she's been here once for Christmas, which her family doesn't celebrate so she jumped into a family that is terribly close and huge and big on christmas, so she loved it and it was great. But this last few months have been getting really hard, I did not want to say good bye again when I was there in July, but due to immigration and Canada being so crazy on letting people in to country is nuts, she was supposed to move with me. She applied for citizenship February, where it says 4-8 months and we were banking off 4 months or so, it being 8 months now, its almost in the final touches I think, while the money has been out since July....so yeah its really aggravating. But patience is the key I guess. I just hate how getting a visa takes 2 months, where sure visas are meant for working and meant for a rush, but still, a person that has Canadian blood, her father being born here, I would hope they would clear it alot faster than they do, and you call them up and they give you different stories and no true help, its great. Anyways it's been terribly hard, but im slowly grasping the whole patience part, im glad she is able to move up here with me, because her family is very small and she has no real connection with her mother, only her sister and father, and they are all so great about it all, and everything is gone so well and seems to good to be true, I just have to get over the fact she's not here yet and just be patient.

Anyways thats my crazy rant, enjoy, and don't refrain from setting me straight! BRING ON THE CRITICS! Anyways, that's my story and I am sticking to it!

Things'll work out. I just know it

Long distance relationships can be SO hard. It takes an extra special person to pull one off for as long as you have. Especially one with as great a distance as you have. (if I remember from previous posts she is in Texas, right?) I too, have the "that'll never work, why are you wasting your time" folks cheering me on. I've learned to tune them out. Only you know how you feel and people who have never been in that kind of situation often can't understand that physical distance is nothing if you have emotional closeness.

I've been in two LDR's. One for a year and a half where alot of driving back and forth on weekends (and even sometimes during the week) occured....that one fate ended with his death. I now know that while I will always have a fuzzy spot for him, we were not meant to be together. He was my great teacher..the one who showed me what love REALLY is.

And this one currently....an LDR of sorts. This is the hardest one I have ever been in. Don't get me wrong, I love my guy and he loves me. It's been almost two years...an unprecedented time frame for ANY relationship I have had. There's been alot of ups and downs...times where I would give ANYTHING to be together and times where I felt I was ok to wait awhile. There have been doubts and fears as well as utter contentment.

There have been times where listening to others have grown the seeds of doubt....and times where I have been able to be strong and silence them all. It has been a test and a learning process. One that I proudly endure because I can't wait to have that close relationship some day. I kind of feel that this has made a better foundation for a someday relationship. We have no choice but to talk things out. Fights and arguments can't be settled with physical intimacy....Unhappiness and mistrust have to be talked out. This is relationship counseling by fire.

LDR's are not for the faint of heart.....but they can be truly wonderful if you and your partner are up to the challenge
