Oh God...Sannum's having a breakdown...

[Sannum]

Pass the kleenex. I don't know what brought this on, but I think part of it was seeing a terrible photo of myself. I have been told that I am attractive usually at least twice a week I turn down guys who are complete strangers asking me out...I don't respond to that type of forward-ness. The last thing I want is a relationship. My god! Why do I have to be so damn sensitive!? I am sick of the way things are and I just want to spend the next week holed up in my bedroom with kleenex. If I went to a therapist, they would just try their tricks and then ask for a check. My friends are just going to tell me what they think I want to hear. Hell, I am not sure if I even like my friends. I hate my life, I hate my job, I hate this world we are living in. I know...this too shall pass.

DU is the ultimate therapy. Thanks for letting me get this off of my chest.

1. I had one of those yesterday

I got to the other side of it. Best wishes to you in getting to the other side.

2. I can relate....

Just sink inside yourself for as long as possible. Remember that those in the 'outside wolrld ' are the same as you.

Adjust as is fitting. 'Cause we are all in the samw boat - and we NEED YOU'.

3. when I was going through a dark time, I came across something that

might help. It did me. A small thing, but it helped. I had been watching an old Star Trek Next Generation, the one where they were travelling through a void in space. There was nothing around them, no stars in the sky, just nothingness. The crew began to react in strange ways. Nothing was wrong with their ship, but they couldn't accelerate to get out of the Void any faster; they weren't able to communicate with the outside; they had to keep on doing what they were doing, wait it out, until the ship finally cleared the Void. I'm a little unclear on whether the captain or somebody said this, as a way to cope with the incipient madness of the crew, but I ended up writing it down on a piece of paper and pasting it to my computer where I would see it every day:

"You are going through the Void. You WILL come out on the other side."

It helped me to look at that every day. Finally, one day, I did come out on the other side, and I crumpled up the note and threw it away.

:-) Seriously, if you are that pretty, I will give you a honest compliment.
