Tuesday. What I hate the most is now that I'm working I have to drop her off sometimes at 6 AM while she's sleeping, so I don't get to say goodbye.

I'm so tired of waking up own my own on a sunday morning (well.. afternoon) and feel the loneliness kicking in. Luckily my family seems to be elsewhere so I don't need to hear about my unhealthy drinking habits..

EDT: Oh, shit, now their back home. Brace for impact! :rolleyes:

Horrible. Me and my friend stayed there for maybe a couple of minutes, just enough to take a look around and then we made a run for the door. So all in all a very dissapointing evening.

Last night I was out with a friend and his wife.
When we were driving home I had Elbow and Sigur Rós playing, amongst others.
The wife then asked me if I didn't have any more uplifting, cheerful music because this was so depressing.
Then I put on Babies by Pulp and about 2 minutes into the song she said that if one finds thís kind of music "happy" or "cheerful" one would definitely need medication! :eek:
"Babies" isn't depressing, is it?? :mad:

It is sad because I feel like I've failed. I'm going to file, no doubt about that, but I'm having mixed emotions about it. It's almost like going through the heartache all over again. It's been a tough couple of weeks. I'm hoping that it gets easier after it's all said and done.

I guess I feel like this could have been prevented if I had paid more attention. I don't remember him acting any differently at the time but in retrospect, I think he may have been. If I had paid more attention, maybe I could have prevented this situation from reaching the conclusion it did.

But then again, there were a lot of lies exposed during that time that had nothing to do with the situation at hand, which would have undermined the trust anyway, so maybe it's best that things happened the way they did.

Hindsight is always 20/20, I suppose.

I'm in a strong state of mind these days tho, so I won't let it get me down, and will go about things with maturity and caution. Won't make the mistakes I made in the past.

My cousin is able to file for divorce in January. Her husband turned out to be a shit. A complete turd. And no matter what she says, she did not fail. The fact is he had no intention of helping it succeed. She is a giver and therefore feels she could have given endlessly to the relationship to make it work. She feels that she could always give more...even after giving 100%. She 'should have done this', she 'could have done that'.
She shouldn't, and she couldn't. She was spent.
She left. She did the right thing. It's over and that, in all it's horrible cliche, is that.
My love and thoughts to you Bysshe.

Hmmm, stop drinking when you're feeling down.
If you keep doing so you'll be an alcoholic.

I know what you mean, I'm stuck in a very similar situation with the booze issue. Life just seems to be so pointless. Of course it isn't when you come to think of it but I really can't help the way I feel.

Well, recently I haven't been able to think of a good reason why it isn't pointless! Nothing has happened, I just slowly seem to have fallen into this gloomy thought pattern. And don't get the wrong idea, I haven't been drinking all day for a week or anything like that.

Yes, Im aware of that. In a sense I am aware of that, but I can't really prevent myself for falling to the old patterns that are bound to cause misery. I really envy people who know what they want and are prepared to go for it. It never seems to be this easy tough.

Yes, I understand. My drinking too is not even close to being alcoholic behaviour, it's something to do on the weekend. And why? Because it's the only thing I seem to gain some pleasure these days.

I'm sure well get over this phase. :) My depression? Yes I've been depressed for a frightengly long time. My life is in a very sullen state (has been for a long time now) and I can't see my depression lifting as long as things are like this. One would say just to do something about the situation but when you've been trough these rather dark periods it's hard to gain control again.

Yes, I am drinking wine at the moment. It works both ways, you can also PM me if you want to. I like to think I have some knowledge of these things. That's the only good thing about suffering from depression, the back-handed gift of insight.

In the last couple of weeks:

-My car broke down
-I took a shine to a girl whose flat I ended up at, only for her to show minimal interest when I texted the next day
-I lost my job
-I got a swollen ear

A friend of mine split up with a bloke, then her Grandad became quite ill, then she had creditors file for her bankruptcy.

She says serious things like people being ill puts it all into perspective. And like my mother says, "Worse things happen at sea."

This doesn't help me though.

Mrs. NRitH are now just counting the days until her grandmother finally succumbs to her cancer. We visited her again this past weekend, and this time, her goodbyes to us sounded pretty final. She's already said that she doesn't care whether she makes it past Thanksgiving, but it's possible she won't last even that long. :(

{{Family Hugs}} Sorry, buddy. Saying goodbyes are hard, but important - it gives those dying the last ounce of control as to how long they can hang on/when to let go. She sounds like a real fighter, but at peace with it all. Hang in there.

i've got to have a scan of my womb. i'm just hoping it's nothing serious.

Golly, I hope it isn't serious. When is the appointment? Many prayers to you and of course a big {{HUG}}.

My girlfriend in South Carolina dropped a major (email) bomb on all her friends in Chicago... nobody has spoken to her in a couple of months.... since then & long story short, Stage 1/early finding breast cancer lead to her deciding on a double mastectomy, she's had one chemo treatment and is beginning the reconstructive process. Had to delay pharmacy school a year, thankfully they allowed that/made an exception. I immediately called her and we caught up for an hour (all on my company's dime, thank you :p) She is doing really well and sounds good. She is a tough chick with a great attitude. It made me realize how much better I need to be at staying in touch with her (and everyone else for that matter) and to think she didn't want to worry her friends. Anyway, it's been an emotional day.

Oh, Corrissey, I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

Dont' worry too much about the repeat mam. They get lots of false positives. I'm getting a second opinion on some stuff that turned up in my final round of scans, but I'm not at all worried because they're mostly likely false positives. Even a little needle biopsy is nothing to worry about, it's better to be safe than sorry.

We're probably going to get evicted from our apartment. We both work, but due to the economy my boyfriend hasn't been able to work very much (about once a week!). We can't afford rent this month. So when we get evicted, we can't get another apartment, and we'll have to move in with his parents (an hour away, in a hurricane-ruined house). I'll have to drive an hour to go to college and my bf to work. And I'll lose my job.:(

Cassius, pay whatever you can, and send it certified mail. If they sign for it and accept it, you can use that as evidence that they were willing to accept a payment plan.

Don't move out willingly unless you want to. As far as I know, it takes a long time to get an eviction in court. And unless there is a huge demand for rental property in your area, a landlord is more likely to tolerate a good tenant, taking care of the apartment and paying what they can, than risk it sitting empty, earning no rent, or trying new tenants who might trash the place and still not pay.

Since your boyfriend is not working steadily, would it be possible for him to offer to do repair and maintenance work for the landlord and apply it toward the rent? If so, make sure they settle on a dollar value for the work, write it down, countersign it, and each keep a copy.

You're not the only one in this situation, obviously. It's scary times out there.

Holy crap! I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you guys can figure it out. Looks like Preggers idea sounds like a good one. Good luck!!!

February 5, 2009, 04:27 PM
Thanks for the advice everyone. :) Esp you Pregs, everything you said made since.

I don't think my bf could get a second job, however. Not because he wouldn't be willing to, but because his job is strange. He's always on call, meaning he never knows when he's going to work. So he could be at his other job, when his first one calls. That wouldn't work.

The reason he hasn't worked is because he works for a railroad. We live in a very industrial city and the trains transport the materials back and forth to the plants. However, lately the plants have been laying off people left and right, and no work is being done. So no work at the plants means no work at the railroad.

You're right Pregs. It's happening to others as well. Others have it much worse than I do.

I don't think that the certified mail trick can be used to show that the landlord is willing to accept a payment plan. After all, he can sign for the envelope without knowing what's in it, right?

Yes, you're right. See if he cashes it, though. If he does, that means he accepts the money and accepts that it's not the full amount. It's underhanded, but it's a trick that's been used against our company before. Hopefully it won't get that far, it costs money to evict someone. It's absolutely worth a shot to be honest and cooperative with the landlord, he could do worse than have you as his tenant.

But listen to Pregs....No one wants to evict (or even foreclose) as long as they are getting something.

Thank you Pregs. I talked to bf, he thinks we can scrape by this month (I don' know how, but apparently we can) and he's supposed to get his bonus next month.

How does he still get a bonus if his company's in the shitter?

I have never once worked for a place that gave bonuses.

Very sorry to hear of your troubles, Cassius. Do what you can and see if you can't come to a compromise with your landlord. Is it an individual or a management company? The latter would be a lot harder to negotiate with.

Our tenants lost their jobs around the holidays and wanted to just get up and out and break the lease (not so fast, kids...) They've been great tenants for a couple of years and we agreed to work together to get thru it -they would pay us what they could, help show the place to prospective tenants, shovel the snow, etc. plus the market is so bad...it took us 3 mos and a lower rent to get new tenants.

Pregs is right- from a landlord's perspective, good tenants being cooperative and doing what they can beats an empty apartment any day. We took what our tenants could give us and now they are moving out in 2 weeks. They owe us one month's rent in the end, so they won't get their security deposit back. I feel bad, but it's a business...it could have been worse (zero rent money, late charges, liens, etc.) all around and times are so bad that we just worked it out together the best we could. It worked to their benefit too as he found some work and she is going to teach English overseas. Also, evictions and legal expenses do cost too much money and nobody (renters or landlords) want to be dragged into that. In these times, I should think your landlord can be a little more lenient. Good luck & keep us posted. *HUGS*

My eyes are all red from crying in the bathrooms. How stupid is that?

My phone was confiscated on Friday. This is our first day back after the bank holiday and I have been to the main office to collect it EVERY CLASS. I also sat outside there all through lunch, waiting for the headteacher.

Yeah, ok, she's busy, I can understand that. BUT I was told that if I came by during lunch I would be able to speak to her and get my phone back, and that was an appointment made by a secretary on the phone to the head herself. I'm pissed off.

I think my friend hates me and I need the phone to apologise and make sure she's ok. I need to call my mother about a concert I should be playing at tonight- I was only told this morning and I haven't got my viola or any way of getting to the venue and if I don't show up the conductor will fucking murder me regardless of what excuse I have.

uuugghhh, fml.

its an extra depressing thing for us because she also unnecessarily apoligizes to me about this happening because I gave her the money for the down payment on it years ago :straightface:

Thanks. By pure chance, I saw her last weekend so that's comforting. I feel bad for my Dad, she was his favorite (out of 9 dogs they've had). Hard to imagine him crying while holding her in his arms...:tears: The vet couldn't be sure what she had -she was losing her eyesight and hearing, but her mind was gone too...she'd walk into a corner and stand there wondering what to do next, or would pace or run into things...she wasn't even laying down anymore unless they made her, then she'd lay there all day. She was losing bladder control too. Their other two dogs and cats are all looking around for her now. :( I will be inconsolable when I lose my cat. My first pet outside of living with parents. I've been giving him extra love today. :sweet:
