Loosing your shite Get a bigger avatar today!

That's what I'm currently in the process of doing. I have some much shite going wrong in my life right now that last week I even contemplated driving my car off the mopac bridge. I feel like I'm loosing my fu*king mind. I can't take the stress anymore and to top it all off I just found out that the lump in my throat that's been in remission for the last 15 years is now back.

What fuc*ing else!!!!! No computer access at home so this is my only post. Not really sure what I'm going to do anymore but I know i just can't keep doing this. needed to vent........

it's not stress anymore

it's anxiety, I'm there too

it's a type of fear that seems to consume and make it impossible to anything you know it right...

the only thing that stops me, and that stops Tia is

Resiliance.

She is going to stay positive and figure out a way to fix the problem...

it won't be easy, but it's possible

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Sorry to hear this.

Let's look at it reasonably... the cancer thing... odds are it can be taken cared of again. Right?

About husbands being buttwipes, well.. I guess odds are that'll happen too if married!

About the money.. who knows. It can turn out still.. he says he promises, so who knows, maybe he's good for it. We can't know that yet.

I don't know about the other problems you are now facing/have faced, so I can't talk about any of this. But as an outsider, this is what it looks to me. Pressuring and shitty situation, yet so common.. not to make it sound any less than it is though. These can be all beat basically. You haven't lost any of these battles yet. Just remember that. You'll get stronger in time when you are ready for it. I know it's like when people say to other people when they have divorced/broke up with someone, that the world is full of people, better suitable for them and they'll be OK again and even better. It sounds stupid, but it's true.. it's true. I don't know about your situation, but maybe you could take just a little quality time just for yourself and recharge your batteries a little bit, enough so you can wake up to another day with feeling of that something good will happen. Because they will happen.. usually crap comes in waves too, you get hit with one big one and then the other waves come too when you really don't need them. But that's the way it is sometimes.. so, just remember that you haven't lost any of these battles yet, and that there will be good mornings ahead, you'll be stronger too and feeling better. Sounds stupid, but it's true.

Keep this remedy in your back pocket in case your really need it. I used it years ago when I was thinking of driving off the road.

Dump everything and move to Hawaii. It gets rid of most of your problems -- just like suicide -- but it's not as fatal.

Sorry to hear this Tiamat - i felt pretty awful for you about your dad. And now this cancer thing and troubles at home. One thing i find is all this stuff nearly always seems to come in one go('bad news comes in threes' my gran would say to me).

Just stay strong - there are people around you who need you.

I find it helps to think this when in these type of situations. Sometimes life is a Bi*ch and you just have to keep going to sail through the rough weather.

Best wishes and hope you get back to normality soon.

So ok, i'm still here. Long a$$ drive to my dad's house over 6 hours but aren't you proud of me no driving off the road.

Yes, chocolate would be good along with ganga but....and the lump thing. In 1990 they took a lump out of my throat the size of a grapefruit. Been in remission ever since but now it's enlarging again so far 1cm and pulling on the scar tissue which makes for a very uncomfortable neck. Trying to shrink it with medication but that makes me dizzy, sick to stomach, direeeeah and loose hair and the upshot to that is if it doesn't work then they will still have to go back in and do surgery

So I'm here at parents house for the next four or five days and it's 1:30 in the morning so I guess I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh and at the hole in the ground....I saw Seinfeld to with the weird guy going to the park and sitting in the hole. But you right.....am trying to stay away from the hole in the ground thing.

Nope childrens trust funds are in tact but did I mention that the reason I'm pissed at the husband for going through the money is due to a gambling problem....yeah, I think I forgot to mention that. He's discovered game rooms in our town with slot machines that you put money in and they pay out in cash. See the way I think is instead of taking it and gambling with it why in the hell don't you just FUC*ING LIGHT IT ON FIRE
