I know I am... I just can't bear the thought to leave my beloved job once they find my replacement...

The pain of emoting topic

Feelings are a curse to me. I am worried about getting a descent place to live with my kids after the rat husband is finally gone, due to his gambling addiction and making life hell.

Losing a home, job, sense of security trust. These are terrible losses, and can cause great pain, physically, mentally, emotionally or all three!

If my life can be an emotion summed up, the axiom would equate to fear. It's all I hear.

Pain? Yeah. It's funny, you think you'd get used to it, but I'm assuming this pain I feel isn't meant to be gotten used to. There's nothing else but acceptance, or death, for someone like me.

Physical pain? I like physical pain as it sometimes can drown out the emotional, but this is only fleeting.

I get monstrously lonely sometimes and I have depression, so I suppose the answer is yes. It's funny, though... in general I don't feel particularly tormented.

It depends on what part of my life to which you're refering. Some parts are painful at times, but right now most areas are going pretty well. I try to focus on those.

One area that's going well is academics, although it's getting kind of stressful lately. One of my professors is insisting that I have to apply to different grad schools, not just the one at the university I'm attending now. Just the thought of having to move to a new state - yes, I would have to, my focus area just isn't that popular - just about sends me into a panic attack.

Yes, I fell in love with somebody recently. He came over to my place and stayed and hour, I thought it went ok, but I haven't heard from him since (about 10 days ago) so I must've been too wierd or something. boohoo. I'm older than him (by about 10 years) so I don't want to call him, besides, I think he may have other girlfriends, a harem or something, he's too good looking not to.

I was in emotional pain because something about my AS diagnosis wasn't fitting. Yet my mother told everyone she talked to, practically, about my AS. She rushed the diagnosis. She just wanted me to get help in math; she didn't care how I got it and what untrue stereotyping I would be subjected to. I have and had a few of the traits, and I had them extreme, and the others I didn't and don't have at all. I have PDD-NOS. I don't have AS. And my mother is still telling people about my AS and it hurts because it isn't true.

I'm so depressed and anxious right now that my head aches. So yeah, pain.

Though it's not about girl issues thankfully...

It depends really. I've put yes as I usually feel anxious when I wake up every morning to the point where it makes me nauseous, but that disappears when I get to work and start my day. Sometimes I have bad days, but then I can have really good ones too.

The ache is omnipresent, familiar... the absence, the missing, the weight bearing down. There is never a time it is not there in the shadows, curled upon the bookshelf or neath the stoop waiting to leap back upon my chest and take up the onslaught again.
