Ok, now I am just loosing it. I am at work and having been trying to cope with being here. Project are going wrong and it is very stressful. Now the people around me are talking really loud on the phones and it is driving me crazy. I have been and still are wearing headphones all day with music, but have to keep covering my ears. I feel like pulling out my hair. I just want to go into my little box and have silence.....................
ok I am crazy.... and I have another 3 hours of this! Who wants to talk? Well type?

It was not the music, that is the only thing that calms me down.
The people have gone to a meeting, so it is a little better... but just got more work packed on me! So it is better but still have alot of time here left! Thanks for writing.. It helps to get my mind off work sometimes.
What has happened to your day?> sorry to hear that. my day sucks as well, though not because of work. are the people still talking loudly (or was it listening to music?)?

I am out in about 2 hours. But before then I have major project problems to resolve or I will be at work all night... I am just waiting for other people to give me status....
Have you ever been at the point...
Where you are sitting at work and you are overwhelmed so much that you almost, but realize what you are about to do, just scream out...
That is what happened before I wrote this subject.I had to take a mental leave from work in May so I am sure most people would not be caught off guard... they all think I am crazy, for they don't have any of the facts I went on leave. Plus right before I left, I was way screwed up... mentally and physically and came to work that way!
Now I have a stress headach!....
End Day End...

Well, at least the time is ticking away, however slowly. Yeah, I like to spend time on PB at work (and not at work!) but it's sometimes hard because people can see.
My whole week, more than that actually, has been bad. I saw my psychiatrist today and felt bad about not telling him some stuff. I feel bad because I'm not sure about my therapist. I feel alone. I'm afraid of this weekend and the boredom, misery, and loneliness. You know - usual stuff, but it's been a lot worse lately.

I completely understand. The only reason I was truthful about everything with my therapist was because I was in the middle of a breakdown and no one would set up an appointment with me for a week... He said come in today. I found a good therapist at the worst time in my life. He kept me from dieing literally.
You just have to take a deep breath and just spit it out.. don't worry about what they are going to think about you.
With my therapist I have even told him after I have sucideal thoughts and my recent try.... That is something I really do not talk about... except here!
Sorry your day is not going well. The weekends are very quite here too... I can go all weekend or week without a single phone call. And I do not have internet at home, so there is no one, except my cats!

Thanks Gal and Yesac for talking... I just needed to get back to the real world...
I think that is funny, the real world when I am trying to slip into an imanginary one....
Ha... what is next, will I see pink dancing elephants?
That reminds me of a story.
In college I was sleeping in the dorm with my now ex, and sat up in the middle of the night. Woke him up and asked if I could put a Pink pony in the hallway. He told me this the next day.

Sometimes people say such funny things while they're asleep - I mean, actually carry on conversations with you!
About phone calls... some people call me (my best friend, parents, sisters, ex-bf, other friends not that I have tons) but I don't even want to talk to them, especially now. I just don't feel like it.
It seems like you both at least get a lot of emails - that's one thing

Yeh, I live on the computer. I shot emails out every min or so for work, someone always wanting something from you....
I talk in my sleep, but it is usually regualar stuff. My mom achually got up one night because she heard something and me and my sis were having a converstaion and we were both sleeping....
I have just sorta dumped on my friends so I don't have any left... seriously. I was not a fun person to be around and when I drank it was really bad...
