Rants
I hate this place, I don't want to live here. It's entirely crap and way too expensive. I mean, pick one or the other. Expensive and nice is understandble since it's high demand. But expensive and sh*tty?? Why ???
I want to go back home where the sun always shines and you can eat for $1 or 2 at a fastfood restaurant and the houses are < $100k and metal music thrives.
I'm so tired of this place where it always rains and you can't get anything less than $20 at a fastfood restaurant and the houses are > $250k and all the music is either pop or local folk and the people are ignorant as f*$k and think this place is the whole damn world. Trust me, it ain't.
I hope my husband gets anxiety meds soon and I hope they help him enough to make him at least a partially functioning human. I'm so tired...

Why are people who don't know the basics of filing allowed to touch file drawers???
The file drawers at my office have things filed under T for "the", folders overflowing to the point where they are ripped and the papers are kind of just cascading out of them, drawers jammed so tight it is nearly impossible to get anything in or out, everything within each folder is in no kind of order at all, and the letter tabs that show you where each letter starts and ends were just layed across the tops of the hanging folders so of course were dropping all over the place as I paged through. It's an OCD nightmare.
AND we recently recieved a brand new filing cabinet and it's currently being loaded from the top first! It is well known that you should always load from the bottom first or else the entire thing may tip over when you open the top, heavy drawer and there's nothing anchoring the bottom. Pretty sure there are warning labels inside of the drawers to this effect as well.
I fixed what I can but I don't have the time to organize all of it. I'm considering coming in on a weekend or something because I just can't stand it!! !!
It's not just untidy it makes it diffucult for other people who need to find things in those drawers (like me) to do their jobs.
I just don't get why someone would keep shoving things in a file that was already overflowing or lightly rest the letter tabs on the dividers ... or any of it. Can someone explain this to me? Or are they just complete morons/lazy asses? I need to implement a Filing 101 class for the women at my work apparently.

I am sick of having nightmares, especially the ones where I try to kill myself because I actually feel like I'm dying when I wake up. I still get compulsive thoughts about dying/being hurt. It's emotionally taxing and makes me feel exhausted.
It's really annoying because I'm starting to recover from depression, otherwise. I think my meds might be making it worse but I'm worried about coming off them. I think I'll make an appointment with my doctor in a month's time and tell I want to cut down by just 10mg, and see how that goes. If it's not the meds (I was like this before I went on them, tbh) I don't know what to do. I think therapy would help, but I wish they'd hurry up with the bloody ridiculous waiting list.

i hate the fact that i am human
i hate the fact that i have to live in this society
the fact that it's made me into an empty shell
the fact that i've been pushed into normal
and now that i'm somewhat normal, or "high-functioning", i feel like a lie because i want to be true and hate lying
people are fooled by my appearance but then realize how socially clueless i am and drop me
i hate that
i hate changes
then i want people to see who i really am and it's breaking me down when i can't
i wish i could isolate myself from other people
i wish i didn't have to explain myself in order to avoid social situations i loathe
i've lived my whole life trying to please people because i've never cared about myself and did not want to be a nuisance in other people's lives
and i wanted to make other people happy
but then i couldn't
but i really tried
i wish i was invisible
i wish i had no feelings
because i have feelings and i want to express them but i'm not allowed because it takes time to express them
i type because i find it harder to explain them verbally
and i can't go on with life if i write someone a letter and get no response
there's no way out
people don't understand me
i want out
I WANT TO BE PERFECT
and it breaks me down when i realize i'm not...
I DON'T WANT TO BE TOLD THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY THOUGHTS
I JUST WANT TO BE ME
I'D RATHER NOT KNOW WHO I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
BECAUSE IT IS A MENTAL CONFLICT
I WANT TO PLEASE EVERYONE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I DON'T WANT TO BE A FRAUD
I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHO I TRULY AM
I DON'T WANT TO WEAR A MASK
I DON'T WANT TO BE A SHELL
I DON'T WANT TO BE TWO-FACED
I JUST WANT TO BE ME
PLEASE
GIVE ME THE FREEDOM TO BE ME
DON'T TELL ME THAT FEELINGS ARE WRONG
I AM TIRED OF IT
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY THIS NICELY
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU UNDERSTAND
I WISH IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT PEOPLE THINK
I WISH I COULD JUST HIDE AWAY AND NOT INTERACT WITH THIS CRAZY AND CONFUSING WORLD!
sorry. i'm crying and need to let this out. can't help it.
p.s. i have one person in mind as i'm writing this. if you stumble across this, please know this. i have to let you go but i don't know how to do this nicely. i don't understand why you want to be my friend but are so critical of everything i do. it's been making me depressed. you don't know me. you can't make judgements about me. you've never lived with me. you don't know what's going on inside my brain. and i'm tired of explaining because it's not getting through. and i am not depressed because i'm weak. i don't self-injure because i'm weak. i put on the happy mask most of the time because that's what the society wants me to do. but i'm not a robot. unfortunately.
goodbye.
_________________
Leading a double life and loving it (but exhausted).
Likely ADHD instead of what I've been diagnosed with before.
I started my life off with 3 cousins on my mother's side of the family, and 2 on my father's. From my father's side one went on to college when I was probably 8, and his sister had no interest in speaking to me. Now from the other side Donald died about 35 years ago, and Judee died of lung cancer last year. I was told today that Joel, the last one left, has cancer in almost his entire body.
Once Joel dies the only family I will have left will be my mother, who is 91, and my brother, Marc. I am positive that Marc is autistic, but he does not want to go for a diagnosis. It isn't even like he he has lots of friends, and could pass for a NT. No, not all. When the two of us were about 8 he complained to my mother about me.
Her response to him was if he didn't like the way I treated him he shouldn't talk to me. He still doesn't. What an ass! And he makes these peculiar facial expressions when he speaks. Does he see other people doing that?
Even with the fact that the only person who has ever been interested in hearing from me is my mother. Unless you think I should include Judee who wanted to hear from me only if I were to call her. Talking to her on the phone was just very frustrating since she did all the talking in some pretentious sounding voice.
But even with knowing that my relatives were not interested in hearing from me I still felt good knowing that were still here. Should I have mentioned that my father, who probably was autistic, died one month before my 17th birthday?
I know I am ranting and raving right now. The reason for it is that I wanted to talk to someone right now, and I have no where else to go.
My BFF that I live with told me when he got back from work that my mother called him to let him know Joel's status in the hospital. After I couldn't get her on the phone, either one landline or cell, I decided to check his phone to see which telephone she used so that I would just call that number. Her number was not listed. So where did he get this information? Just to be sure he didn't mix up the dates I checked up to about a week ago. Not one call from my mother.
You see the reason I mentioned the BFF and the phone call is when I spoke to my mother she didn't mention anything about Joel dying within one month or sooner. It bothers me that it can seem as though he made up the whole story. Unless I didn't hear what my mother said when she called.
I hope I didn't run amok with this whole thing. I just needed to know that there is someone/people that I can talk to if I feel very bad or very lonely. Thanks people for being there for me. How about a virtual group hug? No! I said virtual! ![]()

Why do I never feel happy within myself. There are times where I actually think; OK, I've got this and I can take on life but times like these where I'm left feeling really low and can't do anything about it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I do everything and try and live a good life. But life never gives me anything in return. Why can't the a phrase "You get as good as you give" be true?!
Why do people never seem to care about anything about others? I'm so sick of listening to people. I always feel responsible for other people's happinesses and after listening to them going on about their lives, I feel so low because I feel like I live other people's happinesses. Why can't they realise friendships are two way things where you ask questions about each others interests and get to know each other rather than me just asking questions to pass the awkward silences. Why can't noone understand that no matter how happy I act, I'm dying inside for a hug or a friendly word. I'm so sick of acting like this confident, happy person that everyone think I am. I'm broke inside.
Man, I'm a mess.
