Liz, please allow me to try later. I fell exhaused.

Quote From: lonalea200

 But the point I am making is that I am tired of listening to people say they care, because they don't. If I walked away at this moment, none of you would give a damn.  Not one person would be seriously upset.  No one would break down the door wondering what happened to Liz. It is just a fact of life. Reality people.  What hurts the most is the people who say they are your friends and they prove this over and over again.  And they're the ones who are supposed to care, and so is your family. But the reality is no one does.   If I dropped off the face of the earth, no one would care. it is as simple as that. 

Liz 

I haven't slept in three days due to muscle spasm and extreme back pain.  I hurt so sticking bad.  I will be back.  I just need to get my head screwed back on snugged.  Plese understand.

Sorry for delay in reply...

Quote From: heather175

Did you get your mimosa tree moved ? 

  

Have a really good night. 

I got a phone call right when I was about to reply to your post. Mimosa tree's roots were too extensive and wrapped around a grape vine so I couldn't transplant. A disappointment so I'm keeping my eyes open for a smaller Mimosa tree I see pop up somewhere to transplant. Or...I may see if Home Depot or Lowe's sells them at some point. I think you are having sweet dreams now and I almost am. Oh, have a HAPPY DAY tomorrow, Heather, and button down the hatches for Alberto. :-) (((HUGs))) SEA

Sweet Dreams Tama (((HUGs))) Are you swifting and washing and drying???

Quote From: tamsue35



Tweety Tam
In Honor of Tamsue35 (Tama)

Wakes up to open her curtains
To let in each brand new day
Sometimes she hides under covers
Saying, I'll see you later okay

She lives in Kansas among sunflowers
Where winds blow across Kansas plains
With figurines of elephants playing
Along sills of her window panes

She loves her mother and brother
grandmother, stuffed animals and kitties
She cheers up the lonely online
With sweet words of empathy and honey

A daddy's girl who misses her daddy
Who played guitar and was her true friend
Like father like daughter that's Tama
A loyal friend through thick and thin

 I know everyone may get angry with me.  I fell hard and cut myself. 

  

I was so angry with myself that I could not find a program disk.  I eventually cut myself on the upper calf.  No emergency room...just a long and deep cut. 

  

I am feeling so drained and just typing is hard.  Forgive me for letting you and myself down.

Good morning

Thank you all for your support ,and warm words ,sometimes it's good know someone is there  

sometimes it's hard to get those thoughts out your head each day and think differently ,I;ve been told more times than once to snap outta it and god I pray it all stop in my thoughts just like that . 

but I always felt myself spiritual ,seeing good in everything in life and people ,kinda magical thinking ,I feel people sometimes miss the simplest things in life and get to busy just say hello and offer a smile in postive manner to those that you meet ,people helping people . 

it's like people thought I thought this way because I didn't see or face reality but to me way I saw life was magical maybe niave but good feeling it gave me despite what happened to me but now it seems I'm so slow and those I love are slipping away from my life and lonessness is only thing I see in front of me each day .given hope to be taken away and sometimes more than often thoughts keep coming back to way I think. 

I feel having to relocate and move from my home leave things behind and living ,hiding from my abuser I am the crimminal and not just victim ,my spirit is filled with such shame .I reach out and all I get is list numbers to call to have that dash hope taken away . 

its like people dont wish be part your life if your fighting those thoughts ,I don't blame them sometimes it just makes it harder yoou are all alone.

Sometimes people give out numbers because they care so much they want you to have expert help. Just by giving the numbers they have already become a part of your life and been touched by your words as it takes time to get contact numbers for experts. Think about it while planning on a blessed day. I agree that sometimes the victim suffers more than the criminal. It is advised to move...how sad to move and then stalker find you. I moved 200 miles away and stalker stalked me there. Been there. Done that. I have the dental work dental plan of a rapist's fist who stalked me from the time I was 16 until 28. Escalated because when I called police about the vulgar names he was yelling up since I wouldn't date him the police said, "Don't call us out for name calling. We could be solving a murder." Yes, almost mine six years later when police said, "You need to get a big man to protect you because we think he planned to kill you and we cannot watch you 24 hours a day." One problem...no big man ever volunteered to help yet there were quite a few to further exploit. Thank God now there are stalking laws "and" numbers of experts who have experience to help. The year stalking stopped for me was the year stalking laws put on the books in that State, 1992, for some criminals know the law so well that they know just how far to push the envelope etc. Don't join the ranks of any abuser and abuse yourself too as when anyone considers suicide they are considering being their worst abuser. Enlist in Dr. Phil's army of SELF MATTERS includes YOU and begin cheering yourself on with positive affirmations DAILY. Call numbers for advice if you need advice and, if not, you might of just helped someone who does need since I wouldn't have posted unless I hadn't already become a part of your life taking time to look up and post here.

Don't feel like the lone stranger

Quote From: lonalea200

I am sorry that you say you understand but you don't because you give the usual repetative statement.  I am sure you understand to a degree, but no one really understands. you can tell when someone understands when the words are not the politically correct statement that is given out when someone is depressed. I am not trying to be rude at all. I thank you for your message, it is just a repetative statement. No one really cares. I am sorry. 

Liz 

I DO understand how you feel.  I haven't been on the board lately because I have been struggling so hard with wanting to kill myself.  So-called friends just take and take but when push comes to shove, they disappear. I don't think the repetitive talk is uncaring or misunderstanding people.  I think everyone else can pull out of this but me. So, I can be uplifting to other people, just not to myself.  It's funny how my mom didn't give me up, but she let me know she didn't like me very much at all.  Even after she died, she still shafted me. Just when I think things are getting better, boom, the bottom falls out again.  I keep falling for that over and over again.  I'm 51 yrs old.  You would think I would know better.  The fact that there's something in me that hasn't let me kill myself yet to me is just another failure on my part. I can only try my best to hang on and listen to the other people on here that go through this and pray.

Sounds like you were angry and took out on yourself...

Since you couldn't find a program disk so cut yourself on upper calf. If you can name it you can change it. Next time you cannot find your program disk, or something else aggravates you so much, take a walk or go get a glass of ice water or tea or lemonade. It is amazing how if you step away or do some breathing exercises it clears your head from things blocking your view of the bigger picture. Sometimes, in the process you find a program disk too. Sometimes you find yourself. No cutting required. Try it on for size. Dr. Phil's son, Jay, says to the count of five in his book for teens and most women say to count of five works best. So for those of us not six feet tall football players like Dr. Phil...I changed to Jay's count of 5. Have you ever checked out the palace link that Dr. Phil gives if you click "General and Mental Health Resources" live link just above top post.

Relaxation Script by Dr. Phil

Appendix A, page 285 - 286 WLC book

BREATHE to count of FIVE each way ...in and out... (7 FOR FOOTBALL STARS)

"Focus on your breathing: (UWS, PAGE 286) "Breathing out EXACTLY to count of 1-2-3-4-5. So focus on letting go of everything you want to let go, especially stress, fear and any other destabalizing emotions. For a few moments, practice letting go of any tension, stress, feelings, or thoughts that you don't need right now. Let them go. Then breathe in EXACTLY to the count of 1-2-3-4-5...

Next, I want you to know that when you let these things go with your out-breath, you are replacing that space with good, nurturing air with your in-breath. Visualize that good air coming into your body and healing whatever needs restoration. Send that air to anywhere in your body and feel the love and caring you are giving yourself right now. Bring it into yourself. Practice this for a little while.

What you need to do next is to balance these in-breaths with the out-breaths, so that you will feel soothing relaxation and balance coming into your body. Practice breathing in to a count of five, 1-2-3-4-5, now breathe out, 1-2-3-4-5, in-breath, 1-2-3-4-5, and out-breath 1-2-3-4-5. count for yourself for each in-breath and out-breath for at least five minutes.

Note to yourself that you are balancing your out-breaths and in-breaths, letting the stress and tension leave your body, and allowing the good nurturing air to come in. You are releasing the stress and bringing the healing forces in. "
