Damn funeralxempire that is heavy stuff. :(
I'm not going to say I don't feel like that regularly, especially in the past , because I do. however unlike you, i passed on the 'curse' to other beings. :(


*hug*

I'm certain it wasn't malicious and I'm sure non-fucked-up people are probably more balanced in their understanding of what life has been for them. Unfortunately, at the time the decision was made no one could have understood the outcome because we're very prone to believing that things will turn out better for our offspring than ourselves whether or not that belief is reasonable.

3. Had some disconcerting news that has made a crestfallen me pour a whiskey.

Just the one drink mind you.

I'll persevere.

I don't like getting drunk. One strong drink once in a blue moon is more than enough. :D

I can’t stand the taste of most alcohol and am on medications that would put me in the hospital if mixed with alcohol. Which I suppose is well enough, since I would only ever get drunk alone at home so no one would judge me for any drunk behavior and so I couldn’t do anything too stupid while I was drunk, but if one gets drunk alone, one tends to be labeled as an alcoholic. Kind of wish sometimes that I could at least get “buzzed” sometimes, though.

Yes, I have, they gave it to me right before I had my wisdom teeth out to try to calm me down a bit so they could get the needle for the anesthesia into me (and this was after I’d already taken a Valium a little while beforehand). I don’t remember it really working, though, what helped was knowing I didn’t have to relax my arm like I’m told to do to make vaccines hurt less, so I clenched my fist and managed to get through it. Clearly I don’t like needles :lol:

2. Further struggles as of late, and the mountain high piles of worry don't help.

Rational fears as of late. It gets to me a little that any positives are overshadowed by obstacle after obstacle.

I'm not sure how many more days I have left in me, but I'm not sure a number directly corresponds. :?

0. Had a meltdown today which involved me cackling involuntarily. Never experienced that before! Lately, a lot of stress in my situation has built. Reminded me of where I was a few years ago which hardly helped.

I'm sure it'll pass, and hope my situation improves.
