To Lucky

Quote From: lucky35

Hi, my problem is two-fold.  I think people think that I am hard-of-hearing and I am paranoid about it to the point that I constantly think about it.  Although I have never been diagnosed with this problem, I was in a rock band for years and have attended many "loud" concerts and I feel like anyone who has been in this type of environment surely must of suffered some sort of damage.  People repeat themselves to me often as if I didn't hear them, when I actually did. I don't know what to do because I feel this paranoia is holding me back in my career. The second part to this posting is that I have little work experience due to years of college work and stripping. I feel like my lack of job experience only makes employers and co-workers more suspicious of me and thinking even more that I have a disability.  I know deep-down that I hear fine, but how can I make this paranoia go away! Of course without any medications, too! I definitely do not want to use any medication, but why do I have such a fear of success or fear of being found out problem?!!!  Thanks so much!!

I have heard enough Psyc Profs says that if you think you are something - then your not!! - It's when you deny that anything is wrong with you - then maybe something might be.  The other problem is don't psyco-psamatic yourself, in other words, don't read a definition or think you might have it, because your psycie will tell you you do have it. 

  

You are right about the rock bank concerts, I myself have been to enough of them and my hearing has suffered over the years.  Ok you were a stripper.  True some people look upon this as horrible, but I have seen enough documintaries on people that strip - and it's divided into those that feel they have no other choice, and those that feel totally comfortable with themselves.  Now what you have to do is Quit worrying and start using your brain. 

  

I know that you have intelligence and are good to excellent at something.  Get in contact with yourself and take stock of yourself.

Ya said it best

Quote From: marcia52

Today is a down day!  I spent yesterday running around with family again and then came home and brother was here for dinner.   I discovered that whenever I run amok for a few days in a row, I need a shutdown day.  It sounds strange - however, it's the reason I realized that I need to live a simplistic life style.  It does feel good to relax and take it calmly.  Family keeps my life events happening; however, they don't happen every day or every month. 

  

When you run amok for a few days in a row, ya need a shutdown day.  It isn't strange at all - it's normal, common.  Remember Marcia - the body was also designed for rest, not to keep going in 4th gear 24/7. 

  

The reason your making such great strides is that your living a simplistic - where as I said it before 'you have got to come in contact with yourself so that you know who you are, and by doing this you can achieve anything'.  Some people however cannot comprehende this - you can - so one up for you.

Quote From: lucky35

Thank you so much for your input, I really appreciate it.  You made me feel so much better.

Will you start using the piece of anatomy that is covered with hair and between the ears, and stop worring about what people says - remember some people always have to have something to do.

A Thousand Lashes with a spiked belt for those moms!!!

The way those moms treat their kids is abjectly Stupid.  I wish Phil would have come down on Deb harder than he did, but he did set it right when she is the cause of her daughters problems. 

  

As for people who get ahead - I feel it falls into two areas - those that have the looks/body and those that have Confidence in Themselves.   I do not mean self confidence, I mean Confidence in Themselves.  These are people that march right in announce who they are and either take care of what needs taking care of or get done what needs getting done. 

  

I continuelly remind myself of the salesman at the turn of the last century - James Brady or as he was known - Diamond James Brady.  If what I heard was true he was 5'10" and weighed 300 lbs.  He however did not let his weight detract him from conducting business.  His calling card was the diamond pinky ring - and the fact that he signed a customers glass window with it.

Quote From: lisa_p_70

 Our 16 year old daughter started seeing this boy "Dave " last year in school. After meeting him and giving hima chance , he has shown disrespect to me and my husband. Dave yelled at my husband , argued with us about "Missy" being grounded. Told us we are not fair to her . We also found out that they were planning on running away last year. 

   We were letting "Missy" see "Dave" , we let them go out to the movies , or just hang-out.Now we have restricted their time to school only.  

     How do we get it through to her that this isn't a real relationship? She is hurting herself and when she is seeing him she becomes grouchy and moody . No one understand why she is doing this. 

I agree with everything Jenoc said.  This 'punk' thinks he's hot stuff, and your daughter probably like it.  Some girls at that age like boys who think they know it.   

  

Now why in the world are you and your husband letting this punk yell at you and tell you how to bring up your daughter.  Your supposed to be the adults and not be bullied by this kid.  The more you let this punk push you two around - he is scoring points in your daughters eyes!!!  Call this kids parents and let them know whats going on and that you have had it with him. 

  

When you two stand up to him, your daughter will at first scream and yell, but as Phil says - she has to have a 'soft place to fall'. 

  

Jenoc is right - she has no self esteem and I'll bet she's starving for attention and affection.

Quote From: inbetween

I don't understand What is going on in my home.  My Kids and my husband do nothing but put me down, call me names, one of my sons, pushed me down the stairs.  I have huge holes in my walls of my home.  No one in this house respects, "Mom".  I donot tolerate violence in my house, but when I bring this up to my husband,  his response is, Kids will be kids!!!!!! What the H***?????  I have tried to disipline them by taking away priviledges, but nothing works.  This house is a War Zone and I, the Mom, am the Target!!!!!  The kids have skipped school, gotten in trouble with the law, and other things I could go into but won't.  What is a mother to do?????  I feel as if I have No Reinforcements!!!!!  These kids are old enough to drive and have a job, but refuse to do so.  I work fulltime, keep the house, pay the bills, and everyone else sits on their A**.  I cannot take this anymore........................
You have said a mouthful - just read what you wrote.  Run don't walk to the nearest counsler and get all the help that you can.  There is a possibility that this family can be saved, but with your husbands responce - he doesn't want to have any responsibility.  Start being good to yourself or your going to wake up one morning on Empty.  Are you trying to deny what's going on.

Quote From: inbetween

Nobody wants to face the problem.....They all tell me that "I" am the problem.  All I want is "Peace", I have seen a counsler myself, and was told that they have the problem, not me.  I have tried to have family meetings to discuss these problems with anger that they display and it ends up being "All my fault".  My husband sides with the kids!!!!  What can I do??????  I feel like the outsider in my own home.  All I get is I am a Wh***, B****, and C*** from my husband on down to my kids.  No one shows any respect.  I don't approve of my husband or kids talking this way.  I feel my hands are tied!!!!  I am leaving Monday,  Just can't Take Anymore of this.......   Everything is falling apart.  I am the one who is trying to get them to see that everyone should respect each other.   No One Will Listen!!!!!  I can't make them acknowledge the problem if they all think it is me.

I meant that you arenot the problem - they are.  When I said see a counsler, what I meant was that you need help in what your going thru, you need to vent, you need support, you need someone on your side. 

  

Please don't take this the wrong way.  When you say 'all I want is Peace - this is what my mom used to say - and I finally realized that she was the type of person who couldn't handle, loud voices and what some people call getting it on or having a 'rousting time'.  What you are being subjected to is mental, and spiritual abuse.  You do not deserve it.  If you have any lifelines - use all that you have. 

  

Take Care and Keep Yourself Safe.

Quote From: inbetween

I know you didn't mean it that way!!!!  I am just frustrated and tired of trying to get thru to them.  It is not the noise that bothers me, it is the disrespect they show towards me and others.  Surely this is not the way I wish them to face the world outside.  I feel as if I am on Page 50 and they are on Page 1 of the ethics and maturity books.  And my husband is the same way.  I need to get away and gain some strength, so I am doing just that.  I was not raised this way nor do I plan to put up with it.  I do not want violence and foul language used in my home.  So I am going to seek out some help.  Thank you for your response, I appreciate it very much, I just sometimes feel like I am beating my head against the wall with this.  And unfortunately, my husband is Zero help........
Your welcome.  Is the email listed yours?

Everything OK?

Quote From: marcia52

Yesterday, a family emergency had me up and out of my home at 6:30 a.m., heading for a city an hour away - I got lost twice because they didn't have the instructions on how to get there and finally arrived 1/3 hour after I was to pick someone up. Luckily, they didn't arrive until 10 a.m. (Got there at 8:30 a) 

  

Well, it was an unplanned event and I wasn't prepared - I was the backup person.  Luckily, I only spent $22.36 without thinking.  I bought only what I needed and purchased 2 x-mas presents.  All of the items were on my unwritten shopping list.  However, later on the way back on there was an accident on the freeway and I had to take another route home - ended up getting a candy bar and pop to keep me awake (had only 4 hours of sleep yesterday morning).   

  

I did good.  I'm proud of me - I maintained and that's all I wanted to do!  I'm getting better and better all the time!  I just have to plan better - I'm getting really good at that too! 

You haven't had a post in a week.

Hi Marcia

Quote From: marcia52

I've discovered I'm in my UNHEALTHY DISTRUCTIVE pattern again and it's such a nasty place to be.  Once again, I've been focus on one thing and have allowed myself to slide back into my unhealthy life style behaviors & habits.  I'm really tired of it.  This has been going on for years and years.  I really do want to live the healthy life style - I just get side swiped by life events.  The last one was when I named PIG PEN.  And as usual, I put all my resources into the naming and handling. 

  

I'm facing about 4-5 FEAR SYMPTOMS right now.  I don't feel FEAR like PIG PEN; however, I know that it's time to have a heart-to-heart with myself and ask myself about the script I'm living to. 

  

Did any of you who have read SELF MATTERS ever use the list on SCRIPTS to ask yourself what your life script was and what you were living to?  I've done it a couple of times and discovered I didn't like what I was writing about me.  Now, I have to do it again.  And it's more complicated with the knowledge of FEAR and how it affects me.   and my discovering that I had written FEAR scripts that are strong memories within me.  Its' not something I want to do - I just want this phase of my life over.  On the 27th, I'll begin my 14th year of living and I'm still dealing with my past.  Oh sure, signs have begun to surface -- it's just something I wish I could figure out quickly and snap my fingers and be there! 

  

At least I know I can behave myself to my healthy life style - I just have to pull myself together and get back on the path.  hmmmm  I'm just so tired of this!  And I also know, I've written this before over and over again.  I'll do it.   

  

who knows maybe this time, I'll just discover a year from now that I just did it and forgot that it was a goal!??  Good thing I've seen it happened all year long -now I can motivate myself to move forward. 

Ok you have fallen back, and I agree it is a nasty place to be.  Just don't continue to torture yourself about it.  Remember you are a human being, and as humans we tend to do this.  Remember in an earlier post I think I said life is going to happen.  Do you think that you are trying to fast. 

  

You are right that you have to have a heart to heart with yourself because I feel that when we listen to and get in touch with our heart we not only will get stronger, but that that will give us the strength to overcome what those scripts are telling us.  If you don't like what's written about you - You have the power to change it - don't give your power away.  I have been told that fear is the result of ignorance - not knowing - let you heart and your intelligence be your guide.
