I understand that I can be difficult to deal with, I've had to do it my whole life... but...........



uhhg

and the worse part of it is my symptoms get worse the more unhappy i am. normally i'm fine with being touched (except around my ribs... that hurts) but if i get too upset I can't deal with it... and the more unhappy i am the more hard it is for me to speak and more fidgeting and wringing and i dont know just thinking about it is making me go insane .


I used to be happy

I am especially unhappy at the moment; this is a combination of a general unhappiness that I always have (mostly related to a deep, deep loneliness), the aftermath of having spent my birthday alone this weekend, and the fact that it's 10:30am and I still have my morning dread. The morning dread will pass so I just try not to think much until at least noon, because the thoughts will almost always be very negative.

There are some things that do make me happy:

- learning new things (anything...sometimes i just surf wikipedia randomly)
- good music with pretty patterns
- comedy
- road construction (I drive THROUGH the big freeway construction project by my house every day, just to check on it)

What would make me happier:

- a companion to share my life with, who understands why I am the way I am

This is the best I've felt in nearly a decade, however I wouldn't say I'm happy. I guess you could say I'm neutral.
Things that make me happy? Classic episodes of The Simpsons, buying a new CD, baking carob brownies, truly being appriciated for my talents, a good conversation with a decent person, visiting an animal shelter, reading a good book, writing a good poem/story/etc, and FINALLY getting those combat boots I've been drooling over for the last three years.

I never truly happy, but I feel a lot better now I've left school.
Things that make me happy:
- watching Boston Legal or any of my other favourite shows
- eating chinese takeaway
- talking to my friends online
- buying DVDs for my collection
- looking at pictures of James Spader/ reading up about James Spader
- reading a good book

I feel happy most of the time; I don't need anything extravagant or special to make me happy, I like things to just be the way they are. Usually, my interests make me happy: languages, animals, computers, posting here :) But I do get unhappy when my parents suddenly spring on me that 'we're going shopping!' or change my routine otherwise. And sometimes I'm just down and I think it's better to let it out that bottle it up. But compared to many people on these boards my problems are few.

This. Minus the bleach part. (smells like semen to me, and is a huge smell aversion.)

I am happy when I see my husband have patience with our AS daughter. A crisp fall day. Warm breeze. Leaves blowing by me. The smell of cut grass or hay. Looking at flowers. Dragonflies make me smile. Warm rain. Cold smooth sheets on my legs at night. The smell of MY pillow. Sitting at my computer at night after the kids are in bed is peaceful to me. Getting lost in a good book. Eating chinese food. Eating noodles with my fingers. Licking salty things. Drinking a drink with ice cubes..tons of ice! Music. Watching the willow tree in my backyard sway back and forth. Seeing the smile on my 6 month old babys face when he sees a tree or leaves. (he LOVES them!) Snuggling with my kids when they are calm. (tired LOL) nuzzling with my husband when I feel like nuzzling, and he holds me tight with my arms against his chest really really tight. It feels so calm there.

I have a lot that makes me happy. But they're all pretty simple every day things. =)

She hasn't always been this way. I think I overwhelm her.

No matter what she ever says or does... I love her... that just makes it hurt worse, iff i didn't i could get away, and rationalize to myself not caring about what she says or thinks...

If this doesn't pass and go back to normal, I'll be miserable the rest of my life.. it really is a case of cant live with her, cant live without her.

I am content. Satisfied. That'll do for "happiness," as I don't really like that word.

Things and activities make me "happy," temporarily. When I'm alone, that's when I feel best. Away.

A newfound hatred for you is making me forget my hatred of myself. Thanks.
