I read kid47's thread earlier and his words are so eloquent. I feel a little like a literary elephant.
What a yucky weekend. Cried everyday, wanted to escape. Had lots of social obligations (family, friends, meals, etc.) and I was SUCH a wet blanket. Apart from family, no one else was in the loop as to my present State. I felt like a fool ducking people's eyes, wearing my sunglasses indoors so you couldn't see how hard I had been crying. I feel like a total social failure. Why can't I just suck it up and pretend that everything is OK, just for a while?? New AD's have not taken their full effect yet and I can't sleep. It's taking 2 hours to get to sleep. I have gone through entire CD's and I know the sound of the rainforest and the ocean by heart. Can even sing along with whale songs. *SIGH* I am so tired of having a stiff upper lip.
Which needs to be waxed.

***don't try to compare yourself to kid dear. i'm constantly doing that and seem to hit my a$$ every time. my butt is so numb at this time, i just appreciate his posts rather than try to compete. he's something, isn't he?

i understand your situation. do what you can. it helps to get out and distract your mind. if getting out is too much a burden, stay in a bit more. i'm staying in just a bit too much lately and it's taking it's toll on me. perhaps you can come join me and we can cry together without the sunglasses? i feel for you, i really do. the sun will shine and the rain will stop. promise! (believe it or not, ice cream helps. ever try new york super fudge chunk by ben and jerry's? i don't know what they put in that stuff but i'd swear they put fast acting ad's in it!)

Thanks, Karen. I am always so hard on myself. This was a big weekend - lots of my husband's family visiting from out of town; friends from the other end of the state; a big music festival that attracts W-A-Y too many people with more tattoos than teeth; and a brunch at a fancy schmancy hotel that I got sick from right after we paid for it :( I ran wee-wee-wee all the way home like the little piggy I am. No goodbyes nor thank you's to all those puzzled folks.
Plus I laid a huge guilt trip on my husband that he didn't deserve unless he all of a sudden developed paranormal skills and could read my mind...
You're right. I should enjoy what other people bring to this board and not compare myself to them. Why, you can't even see the doodles I cover my scratch pad with - sheer art, they are!

it's hard not to compare yourself to the people on the board though. i do it often. i'm just happy i'm not too jealous, you know. i was thinking of posting a thread of things i'm jealous about, but when i do that i always leave someone out and feel guilty. so, i'll just leave it in my head.... (and don't feel bad, i compare myself to kid alllll the time, how could you not? he's brilliant, isn't he? i know, i'm gushing. let's just hope he doesn't read this, lord knows he's too full of himself the way it is :)
don't be too hard on yourself either. everyone has their own unique talent. just because it's different doesn't make it any less beautiful.
This is the end of the thread.
