A loving God is a false promise, considering the bad things that happen around the world. They've explained to me, though, that humans have 'free will'. I don't even want to imagine what the afterlife must look like, if God has absolute power there. It must be worse - even disregarding free will, plenty of humans are still mauled by other species each day. |
I wasn't being totally serious as I'm not really a believer anyways. I just find it funny how when people remark how amazing and beautiful nature can they leave out the not-so-pleasant bits. Nature can be full of awe, beauty, and wonder, but it can also be pretty damn cruel and us humans are quite frail and vulnerable despite all the advances in science and technology. I can't imagine what it would be like to live back when people had absolutely no knowledge or treatments for diseases.
| Quote: | I know what that experience felt like. Last Christmas, my mother had some kind of stroke. She couldn't walk anymore, couldn't talk properly for a while, and had to be rushed to hospital by ambulance.
She had to stay for the night, and was prescribed painkillers and something that would hopefully do something to her blood to prevent that from happening again. |
I'm sorry you had to go through that. A stroke is a bit more serious than a kidney stone. Any kind of sudden-onset violent illness that requires hospitalization is frightening when you're not sure what is going on and they have to go through a bunch of tests before telling you anything. |

That part of my comment wasn't very serious either - I'd like to have a little talk with whoever invented wasps and jellyfish, for that matter.
+1 now - I'm getting better at driving, they told me, meaning I don't drive too aggressively anymore. It's Saturday night, so nothing to do tomorrow. |

Stupid false labor. Can't it happen when there's someone up to play rummy with or something?? Or when I have a GOOD book??
Too bad the only way to tell the difference is to go to the hospital and have the staff measure my f***ing cervix. I don't WANT to go to the f***ing hospital. Since I'm technically "high-risk" they probably won't let me leave, and then I WILL be screwed.
Too bad I can't remember right now if I'm 36 and a half or 37 and a half weeks.
I am NOT going to start having panic attacks over this sh**. The difference between late preterm and early term is practically nothing. All that matters is that we're well past 32 weeks.
What's the worst that's going to happen-- her nervous system isn't quite fully mature and she turns out autistic????   
I shouldn't even joke about that sh**, unless I think I want to find out how an HFA mommy with three other kids copes with a profoundly autistic child. Which, probably, is "badly."
It's just better than working myself up to panic attacks with what-ifs and megrims. f***ing back pain. f***ing chronic anxiety.
Well, it beats the sh** out of suicidal depression. I should cheer the f**k up.
OK. I'm up to watch the perigee moon set. Plus 3.

3.4
the meds I'd be given temporarily til my doc appointment on thursday have stopped working. Once I started them I could read, make nice heartfelt posts here with fellow WP members, felt like my mom was my friend and I hadn't masturbated or felt sexual desires.
Now, first moment I wake up I feel like trash and I do the "Act", feeling drained, guilty, disgusting and awful. I love beauty, faces, cuteness but HATE SEX and before I took my meds I would feel anxious all the time and chronically masturbated. Sorry if this is more fit for the adult forum. I'm a dude. I am feeling a lot of bad thoughts too
I'm going to..attempt going to the track to run, in hopes no one is out today since its overcast. I am very anxious for my doctor's appointment on Thursday. |
