Ever have one of those days where you just can't cope with anything. Yeah, that.

I had a special leafy party favour on my kitchen table that I was saving for a special occasion, such as a Monday. Anyway, I cleaned up last week and it's gone missing. I think I might have accidentally thrown the sucker out. Goshdarnit. I rummaged through the house, like a junkie and I've had no luck. Disappointing, but not the end of the world.

What put me over the edge was having two loads of laundry to do and a missing laundry card. I just want to sit in the middle of the floor and cry. Except that I'm not a crier, and crying over a missing laundry card is ridiculous. Blah.

It's raining. It's always raining. I have an AGM tonight and I don't want to go. Blah.

Screw it. I'm going back to bed and I'm going to catch up with Atreyu. Life is too hard today. :p

Never fear. The swamp of despair is hard to resist endlessly. Artax always makes me cry. :cry:
Anyway.... I'm a completely nonfunctional mess right now myself. Who said service dogs got days off!?
I'm here if you ever want to message and rant. No judgement.
:xmashug:
 
I am having a very off day too more off then normal we should start a group or something.
 
ok who is the Head Chairman then?
 
This made me chuckle. Therapy for bewildered ponies.

Last night, I had my strata council's AGM. I'm on council, so I had to get my **** together. As it turns out, I'm likely going to voted president for 2018. I think maybe I'm just not dealing with unemployment so well. I'm used to going a hundred miles a minute that this new slower pace is fracking with me.

I have an amusing story to share about my laundry card. After searching for a couple hours for my laundry card yesterday, this morning I broke down and loaded money onto my back up card. I started the laundry and made my bed, only to discover my laundry card sitting on top of my bed. Doh! My bedding is white, the card is white. There was some good camouflage going on.

Can I rant about a boy? I've seen this dude a couple times and I like him. The trouble is the spotty communication. I completely acknowledge that it may be my fault, because I did tell him twice that I don't like smothery, needy men who text all the time. However, some communication is good. Like, for example, when you ask a girl to a movie the night before, she says yes and then never hears back. A couple hours ago I sent him a message and asked when and where is this movie thing happening and <insert cricket sounds> nothing. It would be nice to know the plan...

Definitely needed some clearer communication with dat boy. o_O
I think we all take breaks from coping sometimes. Hormones alone are enough reason.
As for the club, do you want to head it up @Ology ? I'll do it, but I might have trouble coping with the stress of the position. :rolleyes: lol

I can't lie. I'm not the optimistic person. I do try to stay positive, though, or at least laugh at myself.

I had to see the eye doctor today and panicked so badly that I ended up running out to the car to get Wesley halfway through. Dissociative events and hallucinations mostly suck. I do have a nice leprechaun in the house though... :eek: I should probably go to bed now now.
 
I understand where you're all coming from for sure. My depression had gotten so bad I couldn't fake being happy anymore, even in writing on a forum. So I hid for a time. I'm back on meds now and am trying to 'normalize' myself again (whatever that is really supposed to mean). Maybe we could form a little group here, to encourage each other when we're down. It's nice to know that you're not alone in the world, and others are going through it as well.
 
Well put @evilbunnyfoofoo I nominate you as president of the group. I really would, but I don't really know what happy normal is. I had to tell my daughter that I could be sad and functional, or manic and spend too much. :(
 
Just back from the doctor added new pills to my growning pile and up the doses of two. He try to find the balance and all. I get that but gods I wish I did not have to take so many med plus my meds for my other aliments.

I 2nd foo foo for president.

I want to be They who know random Facts and other Useless stuff lol.
 
I dunno... I am very suspicious of any organization that would allow me to be a member. :lolpony:

Mmm.... cake. Oo... even better... brownies! I'm so baking tomorrow! (And, yes I bake from scratch, it just doesn't taste the same from a box) thanks for the inspiration! Let the chocolate therapy commence!

P.S. I could probably arrange to send some brownies if they are needed.
