Epictetus Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Hard day today. Can't seem to pinpoint the reason, though, as outwardly everything was okay. Hugs to everyone! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWantRope Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 If anyone is feeling lonely: you can take away all the people I have to socially interact with, they are constantly looking for someone to bother. No charge 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Hi guys. Hope everyone is doing ok today. Special good afternoon to duck So far today hasn't been too bad apart from usual low key torment from narc mom - just constant wittering on at me when I am desperate for some thinking space... Even when I'm in the shower, the wittering on at me continues Anyway, I'm away from there for a good while. Tired as usual but hopeful about tomorrow going well Edited April 20 by Nightjar 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get some help for your shoulder asap. The pain sucks! strangely it's really only painful when i'm laying down flat or reaching up, any other time it seems to be a manageable ache, thanks duck, how are you doing today 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I bought a rabbit decoration today because I felt sorry for the rabbit because nobody cares about her anymore now that Easter is over! I said that to the cashier as I was buying it crying the whole time. That sums up how much of a mess I usually am. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epictetus Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Today is better for some reason. Not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Its scary when the dark moods trend downwards. I feel that there is a floor under my depression and that I can bounce back from a lot of stuff. When the floor disappears -- that is such a scary time. Once the floor disappears once one becomes keenly aware that it could happen again. Don't want to ever end up in a mental hospital again. Knock wood. Sending hugs to everyone here! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is really lovely, but he's moving on soon.. He's sold his place (which would be under me) to an elderly lady who may or may not get freaked out by my footsteps overhead (he told me he can hear that). It may mean tip toeing around if she's sensitive to it and I don't wanna go there again... . . I would have two floors to my apartment but knowing apartments it wouldn't be silent below even when I was on the top, top floor, though I guess that was what I was hoping There is another apartment on the ground floor which is empty and being slowly, slowly renovated (it's taking ages)... Don't know who will be moving in there in the next year/couple of years. I loved the views (drop dead gorgeous). Where it is (drop dead gorgeous and quiet little street). Beautiful garden and it had enough space and character for me. I think it could be a gorgeous little pad. I heard the door bang downstairs while I was there so I know I would hear that though it wasn't crazy loud. Any feedback welcome 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 @NightjarYou say you like it a lot. I know how it is. It's hard to like anything a lot so I would just keep that mindset if it was me. I like this place a lot. It can be a great place for you and there's no way I would tip toe in the apartment. Just live your life. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept working and wore myself down. I could barely walk or talk when I left my job and went on disability. HUGS Thanks. My therapist thinks I need to somehow about approach my boss about returning to the office for at least a few days. I am not sure if and how I can do this since my boss is uh, rather difficult to deal with at times but I think I need to at least give it shot at some point. Doing a hybrid schedule would not solve my issues by a longshot but I think it would help my motivation some and give me more of a routine which also would be helpful for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just live your life. Yep, I was dead set on it earlier n then I started thinking about potential noise issues and whether it was worth the risk. I was dead set against apartments till now... It's just so hard to buy anything and I worry that the little house I may have the slim chance to buy may or may not have thin walls like the one I own, though the house I own now is the only house I've ever known to have walls like that...So, so thin. It does feel better in mom's apartment, in spite of noise. It's not so intrusive here. I heard every little thing in that house. I can't bear being there. Here, it's more loud noises we hear.. And the footsteps..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Just had an altercation with narc mom. She just kept on and on at me when I asked her to leave me alone. Everything I say is contradicted. Everything I say is met with an I know better and I do better than you. Its rough. I hate the tension. I wish there was good feeling. But its mostly trying to escape and keeping my mouth shut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
