Lousy Day

Hi Ya Diva:

Thanks for asking.

I managed to finish the first draft and hand it in yesterday. I also told the english teacher how I feel, so I am meeting with her tomorrow to talk about it.

Lousy Day

Hi Ya Guys:

Just wanted to let everyone know I met with my english teacher today to discuss my essay among other things. She said she was impressed with my essay, wow!

We both agreed it needs some more work but she said she would try to give me some ideas on how to improve it. She was very supportive and told me that I will do fine in english and if I need to can take the course over again in semester 2 and 3. She also told me that if I start to feel overwhelmed to let her know.

She asked me about my work background and I told her I collect money from businesses

and thrived digging into, challenging and collecting very old delinquent accounts. She said that was good to know as our next asssignment is going to be researching a topic. She said since I love digging into things that I can research something that is of interest to me. I have already chose my topic Mood Disorders Alternatives to Medication.

So it really went well and we have arranged to meet next week to go over any additions I have made.

Well now onto the not so good. My mum & I were out for our evening walk last night and this guy who we have never seen before spit at my mum and said "don't wipe it off".

Luckily my mum (who is 80 years old and has a walker) wasn't standing close to him or he would have got her. We both couldn't believe what happened. I shouted after the guy who walked off after he done it and called him a pig. I looked for a policeman to tell him about the incident but there was none around. My mum was really shook up and ended up crying and was shaky. She kept wondering what if this guy remembers her? Needless to say we were both looking at everybody that was coming our way in case it was him. A little while after we were sitting outside having ice-cream and a fellow that was going by us when this happened saw the guy after and said he kept saying "I spit on your God, don't wipe it off", obviously someone mentally disturbed that should not be allowed to walk on the streets

Next thing that happened was I took a very bad nosebleed, I thought I would have to go to emerg. Thank God it finally stopped.

Now onto the last thing right now it's raining very heavily and one of my biggest fears is not being able to get out for a walk at night so I am trying to ward off a panic attack.

My breathing right now isn't so good & I'm trying to talk myself down as I haven't had a PA in quite a while and would like to keep it that way.

Well what started out as a really good day has ended up a really upsetting day!

Diva news...

Hi Ya Diva:

Sorry to hear about your situation with your husband. Although I can't offer you advice on how to deal with it I can empathize with you as I argue quite a lot with my best friend (my mum). I also feel defective as mum is so different from me - thank God. At times I honestly don't know how she has put up with me this year and a half. I keep telling her that I'm sorry for having this disorder and she always tells me that I don't need to say I'm sorry because it's the disorder that's the issue not me.

I guess the one thing you should keep in mind is if this has happened in the past and you have both gotten over it - then it too shall pass!

Hi Ya Joe:

Once again you know the words to say to make people feel better, thank-you. I will try & focus on the good that happened today. I will certainly let you know about my research into alternatives to medication.

On a positive note mum & I just came back from our walk and thank God no incidents.

Just to give you a little insight on how precious my mum is to me. When we were walking I saw a pigeon lying on the road and asked mum if it was dead & with her priceless sense of humor she said to me " no it's just lying there because it's exhausted". Even as I''m typing this it's making me laugh

Forcing a face of the PA

Hi Ya Joe:

Sorry I just started reading your post tonight. You confused I don't think so. To me you sound as if you have it all together regarding the disorder and are able to comfort other members with your insights and compassion.

Lousy Day

Hi Ya Joe:

You think that was funny when I told mum about the pagan witch in my class who says she knows spells. You know what my mum said that totally relieved all my fear and made me crack up (in a good way of course) laughing.

She said 'well if she's got an emotional problem she probably won't get the spells right'" My mum has an amazing sense of humor and is just priceless.

Oh yeh this may sound dumb but what does ROFL mean?

Lousy Day

Hi Ya Sarah:

Thank-you.

You have no idea how much this site means to me. Caring people like yourself and all the other moderators & of course all of my fellow sufferers. It's like an on line cheering section that is also with us when we are in the pit of despair.

Just wondering if there you or someone else could suggest an exposure plan because not getting out at night is my biggest fear. With the nights getting darker earlier and winter approaching this again will be quite a challenge for me. Believe it or not I had conquered this fear during my CBT last year and managed to stay in for nights at a time but the fear has reared it's ugly head once again and so the battle begins.

Thanks for letting me know, I could look at it I'm the nerd for not knowing the meaning.

We are originally from Scotland so hence the sense of humor , also my mum's dad was from Ireland.

Lousy Day

Hi Ya Guys:

In english class today I told my mum we needed a referee. There is one girl who is on meds for depression and boy does she have an anger management problem. The other day she was having it out with our home room teacher. You should have seen the look on her face, she was furious and just spewing vile. Now today she was sitting behind me and all of a sudden she slams her binder shut says something to the person behind her and moves to the other end of the class to sit.

Then this other guy, who's very outstpoken and hyper starts arguing with the woman in front of him. At the end of class he ends up having words with the teacher and tells her he doesn't know where the teacher's mind is. The teacher told him that they would have to talk privately about the incident, the guy tells her he can't stay as he has to collect money from his boss. Talk about the twilight zone, you never know with this lot!

I think these two should be permanently removed from the class and anyone like them who exhibits similar disruptive behaviour. So I found that pretty upsetting.

Next mum and I see this poor soul of a dog which looks like it's been through the mill, it brought tears to my eyes. I called animal services for them to come and rescue it but had to call them back because get this it went into the yard of a house just down the road. I asked the owner if it was his dog as I thought it was abandoned, he just brushed me off.

Just the thought that this poor soul might be abused really got me upset, at one part on it's side you could see it's skin.

Not a good day at all. You see I also have tinnitus, and I''m lucky enough to have 2 noises constantly in my ears. I also have a sensitivity to noises and vibrations as a result of a medication I took years ago. Today is quite a challenge for me having to battle the anxiety and depression at the thought of all the noises and vibrations.

Days like these you wonder if the fight is worth it. The battle never seems to end, if it's not one thing it's another.
