...and then suddenly you woke up and it was all a horrible dream!
Maybe you will, but it looks like it isn't going to be today. You just have to remember however YOU WILL GET BETTER ONE DAY. Its hard to remember that sometimes and we'll just have to remind you of that from time to time.
You could also try talking about other stuff here too. It is a good thing to talk about all this as it gets "out there" rather than hanging around "in here". The problem with just concentrating on writing all the negative stuff is that it can be the equivalent of sticking your head up your arse. All you'll find is shit. So try to vary it a bit, okay? Try reviewing the odd book/ graphic novel/ board game/ film/ whatever from time to time.
I take your point Dave, but this actually does help. Why, I don't know. My reason for starting this was to talk about what I'm going through. If people don't want to read it that's fine.
For once im my life I'm doing something just for me. I know it might end up sounding whiney and pathetic at times, but that's what I'm going through. If I'm anything less than completelyy honest about that then this will be of absolutely no benefit to me.
I find that when I commit something to paper (or, text document, take your pick) it's like downloading it from my brain to worry about later.
When I was made redundant nearly three years ago, I had a lot of worries and things buzzing around my head, and I wasn't able to concentrate on any one problem for long, before another one intruded into my conciousness demanding attention. Nothing got dealt with, and I was bouncing from one unresolved problem to the next because they were ALL so important. My head was litteraly spinning! Writing them all down freed up my brain from the worry of forgetting one. Once I'd satisfied myself that I'd got them all on paper (it took a few days), I could see them all for what they were, which were individual little things that could be sorted out piecemeal.
Er, so what exactly am I saying...? Talking/writing about things helped me. Don't expect a lightening quick result though. Baby steps!
