Tiger, I'm sorry to hear about your sister's cat. I can't imagine how tough it is to have to bear that anticipation. Hopefully the results will come back with good news but if they don't, well...I can't really offer any words of comfort but I can provide a shoulder to cry on if/when those tough decisions are made. Losing a pet is never easy. No matter what happens though, I'm sure he's had an excellent life and lived to a good age with lots of love. That's important to remember too. Hang in there. You have every right to be distracted and distant, considering everything. And like I said, feel free to Skype or PM me if things get a bit too much.

Rabbit ♠ - *hugs* I'm so sorry you're feeling like you're annoying or a waste of space. I assure you that you're not either one of those things, and I know we all love having you around here <3

Ashten, hey, I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time right now. It sounds like your friends are being rather ridiculous about the whole thing and making it way more dramatic than they need to be - I hope they chill out soon. As to your other thoughts - I can definitely say I don't find you annoying, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know your head's telling you a lot of nasty things right now, but remember that depression lies, and you're not annoying, not unwanted, and very valued. Is there anyone like a counselor you can talk to face-to-face? Or somewhere to look for similar resources? I'm not sure what your living/financial situation is, so I don't want to assume anything, but you deserve someone to help you through this. My PM box is always open if you want to talk about it. I hope that things get better for you soon, Ashten - you deserve to be happy.

Allison I don't know what to say and I know nothing I can say can make things easier. But I'm sorry for your loss. *hugs* He sounds like he was a really wonderful person. Hang in there.

Allison , I'm so sorry for your loss. Lord Hayati , I'm so sorry about your dad. I know there's not really anything I can say to make either situation better, but I'm so sorry for what you're going through. You're in my thoughts and I'm hoping for happier times ahead for you. *hugs*

Rabbit ♠ I'm really sorry things at home are rough right now; I wish that I could offer more help, but the best I can do is offer a listening ear. Know that I'm always here if you need it, no matter what it's about. For now, I hope that the rest of the week goes smoothly for you, and that you have a safe trip back to school and a well deserved rest. Mostly Harmless (flufflepuff) If it's any consolation, it took me ages to finally get the guts to merge onto the highway without a hitch, let alone by myself. Learning to drive can be a scary thing, and I think it's great that you're pushing yourself to learn it. Identifying a problem and fixing one are two separate things, and knowing what you have to fix is a good first step. The key is to just be patient with yourself, and know that large fears turn small slowly but surely, so long as you face them.

Fraze - I really hope you get your Mahjong set back. It sounds like an absolute thing of beauty and a work of art in and of itself. Your parents should have known better.

Fraze, wow, seriously, that is such a crappy thing of your parents to do. That set sounds absolutely beautiful and they had no right to do anything with it, let alone sell it. I hope you get it back and even if you don't, that you give your parents exactly the chewing out they deserve. Your mum has proven to be a character in all the worst ways. Is it bad for me to be grateful that the only time I met her she had food poisoning? >_>

This is more of a general than directed at anyone in particular, but I saw this comic on dA and thought it was worth sharing. Original here.This is a sentiment I see expressed a lot, and one I have often felt myself. I am a full year out from earning my master's degree with Highest Honors, a member of the Phi Kappa Phi honor society, and I am still working the overnight stock shift at Walmart for $10.70/hr. People often express the idea that they are somehow less worthy as human beings, somehow incomplete or incompetent because of a lack of self-direction or the inability to sustain gainful employment in their degree field once they graduate. I just wanted to tell all of you that this is not true and you are not alone. Not being sure what to do with your life? I've been there. Feeling like you want to curl up in a ball and cry because you're in your mid-twenties and still relying on support from your parents? I've been there. Pressure from parents to get a more "useful" degree? I've been there too. And so have many of us here. This does not make you worthless or a lesser human being. It makes you one of thousands in our generation who struggle to find their place in a society where the older generation simply does not comprehend the idea that a degree does not automatically equal a job anymore. Does not comprehend that in the internet age more often than not job applications are being fired into an abyss that they will never surface from. Do not let these things get you down. Do not let them convince you of your own inadequacy. Have faith, have courage, have tenacity, and remember that you have good company. We'll get there eventually, together. |
