I'm pretty sure I know my future. So, I know it is really going to su*k and I don't want to go there. I need you guys to tell me the usual stuff again. Tell me maybe I'm wrong. Tell me something good might happen. Tell me someone in this world loves me or will love me. It's not yet sunset here. I'm just gonna' stay here and wait to hear from you, and a friend by cell. Mr. Goodbar, Orville Redenbacher, P. Cola, and even Benson & Hedges are here keeping me company. I'll be staying close to the computer.

I've dabbled in the supernatural and maybe it's just karma, but ...
One astrologer told me something after reading my chart, and then another astrologer re-did it, to be sure, and told me it was correct.
I was a nice kid, then I was a bit of a rebel, and now I think I know what is and isn't best for everyone and am making enemies. At some point I'll be at peace for a stint, but the end is going to be bad. Have I shared this w/ you all before?
No .. I'm not psychotic. I believe in such supernatural phenomenon.
It's happening. It's always been happening. I just didn't know what it was until my chart has been read twice, and now the road my life has taken makes perfect sense.
Others are taking pleasure at my displeasure. (Not you all.) I feel it. It hurts too much!
(I still can't think of that stupid word ... like 'torture'!)

Is there something about 'thoughts of persecution' in any of the mental illness coding/labels? (What difference would that make though?)
That's it though;that's what I've felt and feel. And I've always been perplexed at how it comes about.
Is anybody online? I know it's Sat night and I wish I weren't.

Oh, CF - sorry you're having a bad time. I used to think I knew what my future held for me. I've had to revise it a couple of times as circumstances change.
Good things happen whether we realize it or not. Sometimes we think things are bad and later they turn out to be good. That's happened to me over and over and over... evictions, lawsuits, divorce, substance abuse. They all sound so bad but there's been good in all of them. It depends on how I look at my life events whether I see them as good for me or not. (That changes too, depending on if I'm in a healthy frame of mind or not. I can convince myself that I'm an enormous LOSER with little effort.)
I hope that you find that your bad things turn out to be good things for you.

Clearskies: Oh ... that sounds like a good approach; creativity in the midst of madness! Very good. I'll try remind myself this is true ... we learn from our experiences (or should) ... even bad, and that's good. Right.
Oh wow ... here comes 'rationalization' riding in with its dagger pointed straight at me.
My thoughts are all over the place.

Thoughts of persecution are among the more common of delusions. Do you think you are having thoughts of persecution? I think it's a good sign that you recognize that you have them, if you do have them.
It must be scary thinking your future holds unfortunate things. I don't believe in fortunes, but I can imagine how I might feel about that if I did.
I think how one reacts to unfortunate circumstances plays a large role in determining the outcomes of those circumstances. The same bad thing can happen to two people and they might react in totally different ways. I think there is a lot you can control, even if bad things will happen. Maybe it would be a good exercise to imagine the worst that can happen and then think about how you might deal with it. Like ClearSkies said, there can often be a lot of good that comes out of life's difficulties.

Delusions. Maybe. But astrology ... no one can disprove it. Stars aren't just hanging around up there w/o reason or effect. Isn't everything interacting with everything?
I was told my chart reads very similar to what astrologists believe Jesus' read. (Did I already say that?)
From what I know of his youth w/ family, his interest in scholars, some rebellion, well then the whole 'speaking the word of God thing' ... yep, it's really scary.
I've marched in and pulled a child out of an abusive home, then been charged w/ trespassing. I've dug the truth out of friends who refused to see it, and then they've left me in the dust at the hurt of the reality revealed. I've blown whistles and changed things for better of co-workers, then been fired. I see something that I think is wrong and stick my neck out; things change for better, but people are angry w/ me.
At the rate I'm going I'll end up w/ few friends, penniless, and may suffer a slow painful death.
When the first astrologist told me what she saw, I looked back, thinking over different incidents and events in my life, and it was very eerily similar.
My daughter just called. She told me 'Jesus was at peace' through it all. Maybe that's something I could focus on.
I just breathed.(?) (I think I've been holding my breath!) Just talking about this is helping a lot.
If I hadn't seen two astrologists and had them both tell me the same thing (the second one not knowing the first and being skeptical when I told him what she had said), then I'd agree this was delusional thinking. But I did see them and they did say what they said. I don't know.

Obviously, I'm more depressed than I can even see. I need to admit that to me and P.
I think I'd better get some serious attn first thing Mon morn'. I will Phillipa. I'll call Monday morning.
10mg of Norpramin is all I'm on, besides Valium 10mg 3xaday or less.
I'm 'on the edge' and 'making things a whole lot harder than they have to be' ... right?
But I don't want to go back to 'zombieville'! That's trading bad for bad.
Although you guys prob' wouldn't mind me being there right now though, would you? Hey ... I wouldn't blame you!
It would be a bit of a relief for a while!? But no ... I don't/wouldn't stay there. It's not living.
The thing is, it is SO DIFFICULT to find the middle ground with the psych meds! And there are life issues in play here too.
I will call my P Mon morn' or sooner if need be. I need to be on top of things. (I may need to create a fault line to intercept a fault line! See, I'm being funny at my own expense!)

(((((Corafree))))) No one wants you stuck in a fog! Getting some stability from our medications is so important if we're to be able to work on our core issues. I'm glad that you'll be calling your pdoc.
I've been talking with my T about my sense of indignation in general. I spend a lot of time being upset about others' situations, and what I really need to do is help myself.
I hope you have a better day today.

Tks ClearSkies.
I was just looking around for some Imodium ... stuck in the house w/ a messed up stomach. (Partly to blame are Mr. Goodbar and Orville; not me of course. Ha.)
My guts have fallen down into the space where my uterus, tubes, and ovaries used to be. (TMI?) I am going to have a 'second' surgery this summer.
The astrologer called me this a.m. to see how I was, and was friendly. Said will call me Monday.
I was talking w/ one of my daughters (married to a preacher's son) and asked her if 'the Jesus' (for those who believe) was ever 'in love'. (I've not read the bible.) She said that The DaVinci Code has something to do w/ that. I was raised Catholic and pretty much learned about birth in a manger, crucifixion, rebirth, and sins; may be why I shy away from 'particular religions'.
The only way I can visit my other daughter and new granddaughter is to go into my ex-abusive-husband's house. He's 'never' said he's sorry. His violence ended my 'running' hobby. I have quite a bit of indignation centered around this issue.
If not for my stomach, I'd get out for groceries, sun, and fresh air.
