[SJ] SJ .. What are you feeling at this moment???

[Giggly]

"Out of sight, out of mind" or "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"?...

I don't believe either one of these cliche's are true at face value. I think if someone goes out of your mind as soon as they are out of your sight, then you never really cared about them in the first place. I also don't think your heart grows fonder once someone is absent, I think you were already really fond on of them in the first place, and just miss them when they are gone.

I wish I could tone myself down.

Two of my friends are draining me. One just broke up with her live-in boyfriend and moved out and she apparently is used to being in someone's company 24/7, so she's been calling me a lot (maybe 4 times a day and always at night before bed) just to have someone to talk to. My other friend is going through problems too (she always is) and has been calling me 3 times a day and we hang out a couple of times a week. The calling is way too much for me, but I feel like they are in need right now and I don't have the heart to tell them that I need it to slow down.

In what sense do you need to tone down?

I feel like I made myself sound more introverted than I really am here. What I meant was that this two women are mired-down with problems right now and they are very emotionally charged (not in a good way either) and needy and this has been constant, on a daily basis, for about a month now and their emotions are contagious to me. They passes to me when I talk to them, but my life is relatively stress-free and I'm used to that and not used to feeling negative emotions on a constant basis (and it's their life, not even mine!). That is what is draining me. I don't mind talking to or hanging out with more normal people on a constant basis.

In what sense do you need to tone down?

I guess I feel like I have a lot of feelings stirring inside of me and feeling this inside sometimes feels like torture. I also fear that it will scare someone when/if I share these feelings. Like it'll be too much and I'll scare them away.

If you share with friends who really care about you (as you do obviously about others) then I don't think those things would scare a close friend away..those who are meaningfully interested in you and your health. If the things are said carefully or cautiously it helps.

I feel a bit...odd.

Also "Crap Bag" feels like a suitable name for me at the moment.

"When you feel defensive, examine what you fear"

Got this little quote from a fortune cookie at lunch, been making me think about stuff as I tend to get defensive fairly quickly so it's been making me wonder why

 

[Tabula]

Depleted, anxious, procrastinate-y. I have so much I'm supposed to be doing, planning, and figuring out, but only ever seem to be motivated to do so when I'm bored at work and can't. Heh.

 

[tinker683]

Lonely. Oh so unbearably lonely.

I understand now why some people self medicate

 

[pyriticsilence]

I desperately need a break from all of my studying. Oh, God, please.

[tinker683]

Thank you for the kinds reps and replies all. The reason I felt so lonely last night is because I learned my ex-g/f is involved with someone else again. I'm really surprised how hard it hit me. I mean, I knew and have even really accepted, intellectually anyway, that it was over and that there really wouldn't be a possibility for any kind of reunion as our situations are too different and it just wouldn't work.

But...still. It stings. It reminds me of just how stuck I am right now, and makes me wonder what I need to do to get out of this rutt.

Hungry for some spicy cheese and grapes mmm.

I feel calm, I feel calmer than I have in some time.
