Grex Oathbound Item 24: Sad item
Entered by face on Tue Jan 31 18:20:40 UTC 1995:

Hey guys. I'm sad...there's a lot of bad stuff going on right now in my life.
I must sound like a big chump making a whole item about how upsetting my life
is, I feel very chumpy right now, so I'm not gonna ask for sympathy, I am 
gonna ask for words of advice, so without further adue, advise me!
Thanks,
love ,
Alex

Alex, I would love to help you, if I knew what to advise on it might
be a bit easier....  remember, we love you!



#2 of 39 by gerund on Tue Jan 31 22:13:57 1995:

Been there.
Actually, STILL there.

Time is the only thing that's helped me feel better, and not so sad.
I'm probably not the one to give advice.
All I can say is it all takes time.

Well i'm really good with the sympathy thing, if you want to tell me what is 
wrong i can try to help.  <to all those who care or need to know, my # is 
in my plan and i dont mind getting calls :) >

Well...uh...well...there's a girl I like...and her parents are thinking about
putting her in a mental institution, which suks, and makes me feel real bad.
(She gets like panice attacks and sometimes gets real bad depression)
Anyway...I don't want her to go.
I'll miss her.


#5 of 39 by val on Wed Feb 1 23:19:10 1995:

my immediate response here is why an institution?
it sounds like she does need some help, i think it would be hard to live
with panic attacks and depression.  but do her parents think that an 
institution will really help? or is it what their doctor reccommends? 
<i'd worry alot if insurance scams going on> or <ouch> do they just not want
to deal with it?
i'm not sure what i can do to help you Alex, excepy offer sympathy. :(

Uh, panic attacks and depression are things I deal with daily.
It's generally not a thing requiring being 'put' anywhere.
I need to ask... what exactly do you mean when you say 'mental institution'?
Is that a hospital?  A state hospital?  What exactly?

In my admittedly meager experience, the solution to all problems is 
honesty.  


#8 of 39 by face on Mon Feb 6 17:04:30 1995:

Well, I have been honest...
Hmmm...I don't know what they mean...
*sigh*


#9 of 39 by otterwmn on Mon Apr 10 03:38:21 1995:

If she is in a hospital for a while, you will miss her, and she you. But it
would be temporary, right? I think it would be better to miss her for a while
and have her come back to you feeling much better about life.
Just looked at the date on the last response. What happened? How did things
work out? I hope she's OK, or at least better. . .let us know.

   i think , being happy and being sad has its time and goes in circle
   it is what is called as your mood, i right now am in a very bad mood
   brought by the school work , but i'll get over it soon.

    what is important i guess is to anticipate these bad moods and that 
    i pressume should be mastered by a that person as time passes by
    .


#11 of 39 by anne on Sat Mar 30 08:28:17 1996:

This item has been dead for awhile... but tonight I felt the need to
wake it up again... Why you ask?  Cause I'm not a happy camper...
my record is still intact... I've never managed to keep a romantic
relationship going for longer then two months... <sigh>  For those
of you who knew that I was in a relationship- well, that's no longer
going on...  I'm rather bummed about it, so I wanted to re-new this
item so I had a place I could be bummed in. <shrug>


#12 of 39 by kerouac on Sun Mar 31 00:06:13 1996:

  cheer up anne....you just havent met the right person yet!  when you
do, it will last :)


#13 of 39 by anne on Sun Mar 31 05:22:06 1996:

I know that, and I am trying to stay positive, however, it still hurts.
<shrug>



#14 of 39 by matthew on Sun Mar 31 07:29:17 1996:

You have my complete sympathy anne. A breakup can be one of the most painful
experiences in life. There's little cure for the pain other than time and
friends.
(hug anne)


#15 of 39 by jazz on Sun Mar 31 18:23:50 1996:

        I take pride in that old saw about "better and better" - as corny as
it sounds I get better able to deal with people and relationships every week,
it seems, in tangible ways.  That keeps me going.  I figure everything is a
best try by an amateur and every failure is just practice leading up to The
Real Thing in friendships, relationships, everything ...


#16 of 39 by morgaene on Sun Mar 31 20:30:49 1996:

  *hug Anne*


#17 of 39 by anne on Mon Apr 1 02:33:43 1996:

Thanks everyone. :) <hugs to all>



#18 of 39 by sun on Mon Apr 1 05:28:44 1996:

You have all my sympathy too, ke'chara!  I know how it hurts you!  I was  with
you that ight.  And then the next day you talked to me.

Getting hurt tkes time to get over, I know that from experience.  But it is far
better to know that before it get too far that it is not gong to work, but it
still does not help any...does it.

For all that it is worth, Dearest, You are not the problem, as I can tell.  You
are not the reason it went sour.  you are a kind and wonderful person, and ther
is a lovig perso out there, tht will love you as much in public as in private..
ad will not be afraid to show that, in other ways then sexual.  You will find
happiness, dear...Of tht I am sure.  You truly deserve happiness.  :)

<sunny hugs her she'enedra tightly, and passes her the tissue>


#19 of 39 by clees on Mon Apr 1 06:28:24 1996:

Hugs anne.
I've been there my dear. Why, lots of times.
Now I've reached the point I've given up hope.
I'm too sensitive to maintain a relationship. I'm too sensitive
to get over any relationship.


#20 of 39 by signet on Mon Apr 1 14:17:14 1996:

sorry to hear about your sadness, anne.
I too have experience this annoying emotion. It's not easy, esp. the first
couple of weeks. Chin up and here's a whole box of tissues. I know I went thru
several boxes myself. Crying can be very therapeutic.


#21 of 39 by anne on Mon Apr 1 18:08:15 1996:

I've cried my tears over this... I won't be shedding anymore...
Quite frankly he's not worth it...

I want to thank all of your for your kindness and sympathy,
it means a lot to me. :)  <hugs again>

This has just been another of life's little learning experiences...
I'll take from this what I can and move on. That's all I can do
at this point.

All will be cool again. 



#22 of 39 by sun on Mon Apr 1 19:24:30 1996:

<sunny seconds what anne says, and then takes it to a third for good 
measure.>

<and if you actually understood that, and got the joke...you are really
werid too...just like ME!!! HA HA HA>


#23 of 39 by birdlady on Mon Apr 1 19:30:46 1996:

Sarah knows that Anne knows that Sarah cares about Anne and is not going to
try to give advice.  Sometimes all you need are...
<hugs and a bouquet of yellow roses to you>


#24 of 39 by clees on Tue Apr 2 16:05:18 1996:

Being there is enough.


#25 of 39 by morgaene on Tue Apr 2 21:09:29 1996:

*Melly climbs out of the basket long enough to hand Anne a flame throwe*
*grin*


#26 of 39 by matthew on Wed Apr 3 07:04:40 1996:

flamethrower ?!?  *looks in Melly's basket* What all do you HAVE in there ?!


#27 of 39 by anne on Wed Apr 3 15:26:54 1996:

Don't look!  That's a private place! <girn>
<grin too>

Thank you very much Sarah. :) <huggles>



#28 of 39 by sun on Wed Apr 3 17:07:35 1996:

Well, I could send a few hundred thousand neutrons his way, but they are
not too relaiable...


#29 of 39 by morgaene on Wed Apr 3 19:51:38 1996:

What? Oh no, what *have* I got in there??? ;)

#30 of 39 by clees on Thu Apr 4 13:51:07 1996:

Is this what one means with a Phoenix from the flames? Or am I
mixing the things a bit up?


#31 of 39 by jazz on Sat Apr 6 16:42:07 1996:

        Actually, I was kinda wondering what you saw in the guy in the first
place, but I figure it's not my business nor my call to make ... 


#32 of 39 by sun on Sun Apr 7 17:22:08 1996:

<sunny loves how eveyone can gang up on the idiot, and has SO much to
say after the fact...>.


#33 of 39 by jazz on Sun Apr 7 17:33:34 1996:

        He's a friend of mine, but he doesn't, uh, *do* anything for me.


#34 of 39 by sun on Sun Apr 7 18:58:26 1996:

I should HOPE not!


#35 of 39 by morgaene on Sun Apr 7 23:50:24 1996:

WHat's going on? Who are we talking about?


#36 of 39 by matthew on Mon Apr 8 03:42:32 1996:

(I beleive they're talking about anne's ex-guy)


#37 of 39 by anne on Tue Apr 9 20:50:13 1996:

That would be my guess too... <shrug>

I saw what I saw.... <shrug again>



#38 of 39 by morgaene on Wed Apr 10 13:51:46 1996:

Oh, that.
*Morgaene climbs back into her basket and shuts the lid*

Hey!  At least yours don't last 15 to 17 years and then go crummy!
