HoooRAyyyy!!!

do not EVEN call him

and if he calls you?

don't even ignore him!
don't even answer the phone, if it's him!

i care for you and, as a guy, i know guys are no good in general, and we (guys) must worship any decent women who would have us, and if we (guys) don't ... ... ... we should be ditched ... period.

this dude ain't been good to you ... even Once ...
... .. ... adios!!

there is going to be someone who is wating to worship you ... ... the right way ...

sit down
close your eyes
relax
let your breathing settle down
watch your breathing until you relax

now
raise your hand
reach out in front of you
visualize a knife made of light
it is glowing and clear
it cannot hurt you, so fear not
take the knife by its handle
envision ... it feels slightly warm to the touch

now take the knife and slowly make passes with it in front of your chest
in front of your heart
and
cut all of the ties that bind

you should feel tightness ease
pressures release
breathing should relax more

do this each night before bed time

when you're done each time put the knife back where it came from ... it'll be there
wating for you

knives of light can only heal

The more time away from him the angrier I am (recovery of self esteem), and the less I could ever 'get over' the things he said and the way he was with me. I wish I could say something clear and strong to that effect-- not that he'd be able to hear it, but for myself.

NOT CALLING HIM is good!

You are wise to prepare for the day when you do see him or talk to him. What to say? You correctly point out that he won't hear what you say. So what you say needs to be good for you. I think you have a couple of choices:

1. "I'm busy right now and can't talk to you" (hangup, or walk away)

2. 2 sentances (no more) that you have memorized so completely that your unborn children know them about how you are moving on.

3. Tell him that you love him and want to come back right away - - - NOO!!!!!!!!! Don't do that!

Whatever it is, I think that the goal has to be to get away or hang up as quickly as possible. I think that a long impropmtu discussion would not be a good thing. You can talk to him, if you still want to, in 6 months.

You are doing really well, Kara!!!!!

Hi Jimi,

Thanks for the 5-pm good morning yesterday/today!

Yeah, actually I'm not really feeling too good today at all. I'm at work. Want to leave (heavens knows why - it's not like I have any PLANS or anything!). But I will say that your posts always make me feel a little better!

It is really sunny and nice here too. There might actually not be any rain today, but it rained overnight because my car was wet.

I do feel a bit outside of the loop with the discussions of guitars and Jimi H and bands and Karma. I don't play guitar let alone any instrument. I do like the soap opera idea though.

Never been good with jokes. Not like "did you hear the one about the...." or the "3 _____ walk into a bar, and the first one says ______...." type.

About Noa - she said a few weeks ago that she'd be gone for a while, not sure where or when she'll be back or if she's just taking a breather from pb.

Say hi to Erika for me.

No power outages here. I guess we're pretty lucky. But - let us not forget - NC HAD ITS FAIR SHARE OF POWER OUTAGE LAST DECEMBER!!!!

I feel like I should get in on this so... Kara DON'T CALL HIM!!! But I feel like kind of a hypocrite saying that because I recently emailed my ex-bf and he hasn't gotten back to me which is making me sad (I'm hoping that maybe he's on vacation or something and hasn't checked) - but it's an entirely different situation. We were only together for a couple of months, we certainly didn't live together, I broke up with him more-or-less, and now just want to be friends.

Well, I think I might be going off to lunch soon.

> okay, let me ask the clueless question here ...

> ... what would be fun for you to do?

I try all the time to answer this question for myself. It's a tough one. Simple, but tough. It all really depends so much on mood. In the right mood, almost *anything* CAN be fun. Well, maybe not some things.... But I think just simple things like going out to eat, or staying home and eating, playing card/board games. I've always for the most part really liked playing (most) sports and the camaraderie of a team, provided it's small enough to allow for some degree of closeness and comfort (at least in my case). Those have actually been some of my most fun times was with various teams. But I don't have any team now. Plus, I feel like I'm not in good shape and the motivation factor is a problem. I really want to start exercising again but just haven't been able to get myself to do it. I feel so lazy and lethargic and inert. UGH!

> ... can fun happen under imaginary circumstances?

Imaginary circumstances? Do you mean, can I have fun in my mind sort of thing?

> ... how about go to a comedy club for laughs?

Maybe. Don't know of any around here. Could look into it, and try to find people to go with.

> .... or a movie?

Movies can be okay, much better to go with someone else though. They can be a bit on the pricey side these days, so I try to limit to things that I really want to see.

> ... or rent a video?

Same thing as going, except cheaper! It's a bit of a problem right now though with the current state of my apartment - one of my new roomates has a vcr, I have a tv, but we don't have much living room furniture so we haven't got that stuff set up comfortably.

> ... if i was there, what would i have to do to make you laugh?

Tell me funny stories, joke around with me.

> ... to entertain you?

I don't know, but I'm imagining you putting on some kind of show or something, the way this sounds. You could play your guitar. You could teach me some stuff about buddhism and/or meditation (I just put mediCation accidently - guess I get so used to typing that! - they're practically the same word though... interesting).

I think that there are several main issues in my lack of fun: not many people to do stuff with; don't have the motivation/initiative to do stuff on my own and usually just decide that it's not worth it or I don't feel like it; general depression which often can make it hard to enjoy things anyway.

It's just such a struggle. Sometimes (often, actually), I just can't believe that this is really my life.

fallsfall,
This is great. You are like the mother I never had (and I mean that in the best of all possible ways). I went to her when I was 17 and told her my boyfriend had been physically abusive. She just looked at me, smiling helplessly.

So two sentences about moving on. That's his greatest fear of course, my moving on. I haven't said anything definitive to him since I wrote that lovely email and contradicted it within 24 hours. Then we spoke a few times and I started to buy into his impotent words that he would do counseling and really wanted to be with me. That's the danger in speaking to him, I start thinking crumbs are feasts.

So do I owe him the "it's really over" clarification?

Nah.

Thank you fallsfall.

Hi yesac,
I don't want you to feel out of the loop, and I'm sure lil jimi doesn't either. Really I feel like I shamelessly piggybacked your guy's communication to begin with.

I am just grateful for any support right now to get through this break up--joking, hyporcritical, whatever. And after I wrote it I realized you guys may never heard of the spin-off "Days Of Our Lives" which is a real soap opera here--or have you?

Anyway, here is our friend The Weekend. I am trying to prepare.

Oh, that made me me all warm inside Mom.

The other thing I'm worried about is that he'll call me and try to 'get' me by either inferring or outright telling me *he* has someone else and is moving on. I'm trying on replies like, "Hope that impotence thing works out for you", and... ok, well that's all I've come up with so far. But I do want to be ready if that moment comes.

Can you think of any snappy replies?

Angel

Angel came down
From heaven yesterday,
Stayed with me just long enough
To rescue me....

And she told me a story yesterday;
About the sweet love
Between the moon and the deep blue sea.

Then she spread her wings high over me.
She said,’i’ll come back again to see you tomorrow....

And I said fly on, my sweet angel.
Fly on through the sky.
Fly on, my sweet angel.
Tomorrow I’m gonna be by your side....

Sure enough,
This woman came home to me.
Silver wings silhouetted against a child’s sunrise....

And my angel,
She said unto me,
’today is the day for you to rise.’
Take my hand, you’re gonna be my mind,
And she took me high over yonder.....

And I said fly on, my sweet angel.
Fly on through the sky.
Fly on, my sweet angel.
Tomorrow I’m gonna be by your side....

me too.

here's another of my mantras ... remember this?:

One Rainy Wish

Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
A misty blue and the lillac too
A never to grow old.

A there you were under the tree of song
Sleeping so peacefully
In your hand a flower played
A waiting there for me.

I have never
Laid eyes on you
Not before
This timeless day
But you woke and whoa
Smiled my name
And you stole
My heart away
A stole my heart away little girl, yeah
All right !

Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lillac too
A never to grow old.

Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lillac too
Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lillac too
Gold and rose, gold are rose, gold and rose.

It’s only a dream
I’d love to tell somebody about this dream
The sky was filled with a thousand stars
While the sun kissed the mountains blue
And eleven moons played across rainbows
Above me and you.
Gold and rose the color of the velvet walls surround us.

=============

..... now you got me going ...
round and round ...

.. .. oh, here i go again ... ...

"You Got Me Floatin'"

You got me floatin' round and round,
Always up, you never let me down
The amazing thing, you turn me on naturally,
And I kiss you when I please.

You got me floatin' round and round,
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

You got me floatin' across and through
You make me float right on up to you
There's only one thing I need to really get me there,
Is to hear you laugh without a care.

You got me floatin' round and round,
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

You got me floatin' round and round,
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

Now your Daddy's cool, and your Mamma's no fool,
They both know I'm heads over heels for you,
And when the day melts down into a sleepy red glow,
That's when my desires start to show.

You got me floatin' round and round,
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please.

We can make up some snappy replies for fun.

But, since I am a dowdy old lady, I think that I would recommend a dowdy plan (at least for the next couple of weeks).

I think that your resolve to stay away from him is very tenuous. It is better than before, but it is still really hard for you. So I think that until it is easier, that you should protect yourself as much as you can. That would mean avoiding him (not calling, but also not talking to him if he calls you).

Nowhere does it say that you have to be polite to him. If he calls you can say "I can't talk now" and then hang up.

I feel like I'm telling you what to do (gee, maybe because I am). I can be bossy all of the time, and it is hard for me to let people make their own decisions. I guess that I want you to protect yourself. But I guess I would feel better if I knew what YOUR decision about this guy is. I know what MY decision about him is, but it isn't my decision to make. It is yours.

I can give you ideas of things to do to implement your decisions, but don't let me make your decisions. Please?

Do you have fun plans (or even non-fun plans) for the weekend?

Hi fallsfall,
I'm sorry if I'm seeming like I want you to make my decisions for me. My decision, when I am sane (heh), is not to be with him. I have decided that I don't want to be with him, it's just that I still have the impulse to talk to him. Not that it's a good one, or one I want to indulge, hence the appreciation of support in that area. So it's my decision, but I'm not sure how to implement it--if that makes sense.

Like right now, this minute, it's tough. It's Friday night and I went and took out dinner for myself. I'm reminded of my financial predicament (which was helped, although not completely by being with him) and my loneliness. We would have had dinner together tonight, you know...that whole thing.

Now I'm just alone and jobless, and panicked about it. I've really got to start thinking about how to make some money.

So my mind wanders, and I try to talk myself through the impulses. I feel a sudden desperation to talk to him, but I know talking to him is not a good idea. I don't think that's what I *really* want, but it is the illusion.

I don't have plans for the weekend, I'm trying to make some up. I'd like to get some groceries so I don't feel like such a bachelor...for a start.

Hi Kara,

I think that the "who is making the decision" part is my issue, not yours. But I'm glad to have you spell out what you want. You really are doing well.

When someone has been so much of your life, it is hard to get through the minutes without thinking about them. One trick that has helped me (deal with losing my therapist) is that everytime I would miss her and think of something that she would do for me, I match that thought with a reminder of how unhappy I was. In my case, it helps to neutralize the "missing" part.

While you are at the grocery store, could you pick some up for me?

I used to be a hiring manager, so if you need someone to review your resume, I could do that. Focusing on a job hunt may give you the focus that you need to move on.

You are strong and bright and thoughtful. It will take work, but you will be just fine.

Hey Jim,

Thanks for thinking of me! I have backed off of PB a bit lately. I'm not sure why. I think I was just spending too much time on here or something. Plus, depression causes inexplicable feelings sometimes... well, I don't know, I can't explain it really. But it seems to upset me to come on here too much, I guess.

Hope you weren't late for work today. I came in 2 hours late because I went to get my fan fixed in my car, and they said they wouldn't be done until late in the day, but I needed my car to go to work, so I didn't get it done. But I just felt like the whole thing was a waste of time and it annoyed me because now I have to go back another day.

I'm not always offline all weekend. Sometimes I go to the library or come in to work, or other places I can get online. Just depends. Sometimes I go online but don't check pbab.

My weekend was actually pretty decent. Today I feel depressed again, though. I think the depression is centered right now for me on my fear-of-all-fears of not getting into grad school, to which I have not even applied yet. But that's on my mind all the time, and with my current state of feeling like I'm wasting all this time and not doing anything, the fear resurfaces. I think I should be doing more to enhance my application, but instead I sit around all night every night and watch stupid tv shows and wallow in depression.

So, there you have it! The story of my woe's (well, some of them)...

Sorry that Erika was such a disappointment for you, and you had to deal with all that sunshine again!

I came in 2 hours late because I went to get my fan fixed in my car, and they said they wouldn't be done until late in the day, but I needed my car to go to work, so I didn't get it done. But I just felt like the whole thing was a waste of time and it annoyed me because now I have to go back another day.

> My weekend was actually pretty decent. Today I feel depressed again, though. I think the depression is centered right now for me on my fear-of-all-fears of not getting into grad school, to which I have not even applied yet. But that's on my mind all the time, and with my current state of feeling like I'm wasting all this time and not doing anything, the fear resurfaces. I think I should be doing more to enhance my application, but instead I sit around all night every night and watch stupid tv shows and wallow in depression.

i just wanted to hear from you ... ... i think it's healthy for us to choose to regulate of pBab dosage ... ... good for you!

i think you are suffering because your meds aren't being supportive enough ... ... so it lets you down and your worries eat you up .. ... poor baby!

yeah, i got them ol' crummy sunshine blues again .. ... ... not a cloud in the sky! ... ... at least it's hot ... upper 90s! .... .... where's a dang tornado when we want one?

KIDDING!

It's been a little while since I've posted or really even been on the board, but I just wanted to say hi! How are you doing? I noticed that you really don't seem to have posted on social, but on the med board you did so I know you're around!!

I'm doing okay. Feeling a little more motivated to try to get involved in things and make my life more interesting.

I did, however, get into this little accident last week, the day after I finally got my AC fully fixed in my car. I rear-ended this woman as we were pulling out of a parking lot. I thought she had already gone, and I was looking to the left to see if there were cars coming or I could pull out. No one was hurt, but the whole thing really sucked, and now I have some pretty significant damage to my car. It runs fine, except the front light is out, but according to the insurance guy I'll need to get the fender, the hood, and a few other things replaced. Which will take probably 4 days. Luckily, my insurance is covering most of the cost (which the estimate came to a lot more than I was expecting). Still. I've calmed down about the whole issue more as time has gone on, but I'm very worried about what is going to happen to my insurance rates. I've never been at fault in any accident before (or even in any accident for that matter). I hope my premium doesn't go up too much.

Well, that's about all I can think of to say right now. I feel slightly spaced out today, I think because I couldn't fall asleep last night until really late (or early, I guess I should say), and I ended up taking extra trazodone which is probably causing this zoned-out-ness that I'm experiencing today.

Hope you're still doing okay!
