Yep-I've been there, right before I went on disability-now I'm slowlyyyy making my way back into the working world. I go to school and that's tough too.
Just remember 2 hours:)and who cares what other people think-I know way easier said than done-I know justtry try hard-that's all you can do and you CAN do it my friend:)
> 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....

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...

I don't have internet access at home either so what do I do?? That's right!! I frequently come in to work at night and weekends to go online. Sad, huh? I spend hours of my "off-time" at work, not working, but still. It's the main excitement in my life.

We all need somewhere to turn. And you can always turn to me.
When I had my leave time, I completely stayed away from the computer, would not go near one. That helped to, you just have to follow your heart at times.
Got a status report for a project and it seems like it may work out. So that is good, but I am still tearing up....

What time do you get out, 4:30? Well, I'm glad that the project might work out. I just did a really stupid thing - I was working on something for a while and basically just f'ked it up so I have to do it over. It's not that big of a deal just annoying.

I get out at 4:15.
It was not stupid, you just did not have the correct information. See blame it on someone else, that always makes it easier to deal with.How much time did you lose?
If there is anything I can do, I am a wiz on the computer... at least I can type fast..When do you get out? Where are you located?
That is one thing I never understood about PB, really no one says even what state they are from. Should I just know this stuff?

> It was not stupid, you just did not have the correct information. See blame it on someone else, that always makes it easier to deal with.I really can't blame it on someone else, it was all me. It's not a big deal, probably lost 20 minutes or so. But this isn't high pressure or anything.
> When do you get out? Where are you located?
>
> That is one thing I never understood about PB, really no one says even what state they are from. Should I just know this stuff?I get out basically whenever I want to leave. Well, sort of. But I'd feel guilty leaving before about 4:15 or so, especially since I got here late today because I had my doc appt. But I don't even care. I have nothing better to do than be at work. Sometimes I really want to leave but right now I don't. At work, I am less lonely and depressed (sometimes!).
I live in NC. Yeah, I think that maybe people are just trying to be private about their location, but I think most people would say if you came out and asked.

Well this has just been so fun...
My project now wants to have us dial in and put in the changes, I mean this second. So I had to track down someone and now deal with this.... And I really don't think I am leaving on time now.Headachs from site, the project manager, the technical person, support... everywhere....

Well, what a day.
The project ended up being a problem that was not solved today and kept the customer from working for 2 hours. My boss and other boss and people were involved in the end and I have a headach now....
So I was counting down to 4:15 and now it is about 5:30 and I am still here...

I hate when there is commotion at work.
