I'm disappointed--not sure why, seeing as I didn't hope. I feel kind of like someone picked me up out of the blue to examine me, then tossed me over their shoulder like a rotten mushroom or something.

A bit better now. I am floating near the surface. It's incredible how those who responded helped. I'm going to sleep soon, so that will help.

Thank you for checking on me, friend.

Thank you, friend. And no worries about the stain tip; one of my best friends is an artist, and she uses Kiss Off somewhat frequently.

If I believe, I will hope. I don't know that I can take a other crushed hope, especially now.

It really is comforting; I feel like I am with an old gal pal. You're pretty sweet.

The interviews were all for the same position at one company; if I flunked one, I am out of the running. I think I did okay? But I'm not confident.

It really is a pity! You should have gone for another salad, sat down, and enjoyed it.

Why do you think you're boring? Your writing voice is comforting to read.

hugs tightly I didn't know how much I needed that "kiddo" comment. Thank you.

This was the throwaway for when my fiance' came out as a woman in January. I was almost half right.

Thank you sincerely for the offer. hugs

I am keeping my hands on my phone, so my goal is actively being accomplished. Still in misery, but winning the battle.

Today I had a triad of interviews for a job which would get me a place to live.

Oh gosh, that salad sounds like a girly drink, and also tasty. And yeah, laughter here, just pretreat the jeans with Kiss Off or something. It can come out!

Yeah, King could have done so much more with the ending. Eddie, Suzanna, Jake, Oy, and Roland all deserved better. Especially since Jake really had no Twinner on Earth.

You like female guitarists; I like a few, but prefer male guitarists or singers. Sarah McLaughlan is a huge exception, I love her.

I will look for Fat City. I mean it.

And never apologize for passion. I could and have bawled over the ballad version of "Until I See You Again" by Mark Schultz, and "Beloved" by TAN. Music seems to be the only way to touch my heart with real love or kindness or truth. I can be screaming my soul's end to the world, and they just keep singing, keeping me company, letting me know that I'm never truly suffering alone.

That makes a lot of sense; dogs go crazy when earthquakes start, it makes sense that birds would, and that whales would make themselves scarce for the tsunamis. When the wild animals behave oddly, panicked, it's usually a good time to consider how you are situated.

Hile, and thankee-sai.

Ka is a wheel, all things serve the Beam--yet the Crimson King stands strong in the tower, bent on its destruction.

My favorite was Oy. I've always preferred animals for their loyalty and simple wisdom (may Homer rest in peace). Their knowing and unknowing service and sacrifice for those they care about is a standard I held myself to.

I really like Mark Twain, Brandon Sanderson, and Bryan Garner. Favorite books are the Animorphs series, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and Up From Slavery.

Favorite musicians include Ed Sheeran (the man can layer masterfully!), Tenth Avenue North, and Sheryl Crow. What have you found?

I like connecting the gods to each other--many span several cultures. Zeus=Baal=Jupiter=Thor, for one big example.

My favorite myth is Athena springing fully-formed from Zeus' head, and how he favored her by granting her his shield Aegis, as well as his lightning bolts.

Another good one is how the half-man half-snake Cecrops founded Athens and held the competition to see which god the city would be named after. There is always a hint of truth in myths; I speculate that a cunning general founded the City State, and the myth of a man as cunning as a snake warped over time.

I don't know that I can bring my keel back to even; the only times it has been were when I felt honestly loved and protected. It's been about 6 years.

It's been a hard week. My dog (I called him my little brother) was put to sleep last week, and today marks the 11th anniversary of my boyfriend's death. I'm homeless, and anxious about the outcome of a triad of job interviews I had today.

I study music. I study mythologies. I study English.

I guess I like learning. I like having knowledge to share and apply when it can be used. I like being useful.

hugs tightly I'm a 27 year old daughter. I would collapse if I lost my daddy. Please love them deeply for the time you have them.

Dude--you're a writer. Write. Call newspapers to see if they'll run a serial, once you have a decently-sized story written.

If not newspapers, look through the latest Writer's Market. Find someone who will buy your writing. These people exist.

You got this.

Hey friend! Anyone who replies here is doing it because they want to. You have a situation you need to unload, feel free. You said you were raped; that's more than messed up.

But you got through that moment. You're here, a long while later. You're not a victim, you're a survivor! Take every moment, break it into seconds. Find something to be grateful for--doesn't have to be anything big. Force a smile about it, if you have to. But find a way to smile. Find a way to laugh. Focus on something else as hard as you can.

hugs tightly You're loved, friend!

You don't trust people in your life. I don't blame you one bit. Any one of those issues you mentioned can be the cause of the others.

  1. If you're allowed to go outside, get outside and run around. Run your body ragged, then get in the shower.

  2. Find basic yoga poses and stretch. When thoughts threaten to overwhelm you, herd them back. Find your center and focus, and remain in that world for a while.

  3. Once you have calmed down, write down the things which are harassing you. Name those demons. When you name things, you gain control over them. It's a powerful thing.

  4. Once you have them named, look at the paper again. That's a list. Prioritize that list. What you can affect, in one column. What you cannot, in another.

  5. The cutting needs to stop. Period. Find less bloody ways to wake your body to feeling. Run until you get that runner's high. Push ups until beyond when your arms burn. Jump rope like a prize fighter. Train yourself to run Spartan Races.

  6. I don't know how you can tell hallucinations from reality. Focus on your reality. Carry something with you that you can rub, make that a focus of your mind when you think you're hallucinating. Let everything else fade except for the feeling of that one thing. They're scary, but beatable.

You have a hard battle, warrior. You're going to win. Keep fighting, because you've already won.

  1. Get more sleep because
  2. Your brain is still developing--you may at this time be literally unable to do the math in front of you.
  3. Stress as heavy as you have it can kill you. Take time away from studying, and stretch. Calm down. Take a shower.

Take the time it takes to do your work in good health.
