Do you ever feel like you can't win??

Posted by SandraDee on July 26, 2002, at 12:56:34

So I start out the day in a good mood, I mean from waking up - even before I logged on. So the issue with Lou is dealt with for a while, and I take a deep breath of relief for the fact there is some downtime. I post a few messages and then get side swiped by an angry-hate-filled email. So now I'm sort of in this tail spin. I'm trying to force myself not to be upset by it, but it was really hurtful, and deemed me as some uncaring person. Although even through the barking email I have TRIED to remain caring to the fact this person is really in a bad place right now (granted not always being successful).
Do you have those days that start out like nothing can get you down and then you just get bamboozled by stuff you TOTALLY were NOT expecting??

wow, that crashed my mood too. And I too was having the beginning of a good day, I actually slept last night.
I wonder if it would have been more satisfying for us all to see you having a nervous breakdown.
I've seen your support Sandra Dee and I don't have a clue why there would be resentment over you being "allowed" a light-hearted conversation.
I don't know, I'm in the worst position I've been in in my life, made a serious thwarted suicide attempt just a week ago, I felt complete support, Seeing others light hearted posts, made me feel better, like a touch of "normality" reaching through to my crazy head.

I don't really know whats going on, I would think that seeing someone who is depressed(a broad generalization) being able to have a lighthearted conversation would make someone feel better!
I know it does for me. I mean when I see about someone being upset and confused and the next day they are being able to joke I feel so relieved and Happy. Isn't that helpful? I need a place I can chat when I feel good too.

Sometimes I don't know what to do when I feel okay, and end up feeling worse because I think oh I'm in a good mood but I've lost all my friends to share it with

Now I feel greedy,for the first time in 2 years for actually taking pleasure in something.

I don't mean to be judgemental
I guess I'm just being judgemental
Do we need a special board to go to when we aren't actively mutilating or suicidal.


A generalized negative comment hinting at someone's "BAD" behavior everyone on the board thinking that its them. None of us are that secure.
We get judged everywhere else, NOT HERE TOO please?

This is just too strange


 

How Ironic, Sandra was the first to post support

And now are being punished. And I too feel terrible and am about to start crying, when I'd just stopped.

Success??

Sandra Dee

First to set the record straight. There was absolutely no hate in my email and yes there was anger but not so much about your light-hearted posts here. But you paint yourself as a victim here where there is no victim. You tell only part of what has happened to gain sympathy of other posters. And I'm sure you will respond to this with some equally untrue statements to continue to defend yourself and make me look like an ogre. I have no control over that.

But with that said, I wish you peace and happiness.

I understand you are hurting, in fact a lot lately. I hurt too. I was just going through a time "should I separate from my husband??" and I didn't even post it, because I don't want to sound like the victim in everything. I think if you are going to point a finger at a "victim" you might want to redirect that. I have tried to help you, and email you, and keep uplifting you to no avail. If you wish to "pick" on me for you not feeling supported - so be it. I did care about you. I did care what was going on, and had sent numerous emails to you telling you so - in the past. I sent you little messages just to let you know I was thinking of you. All sincere emails. That's all forgotten now in your deep dark pit. So continue to make me look like a bad, uncaring person if it makes you any better.
