I asked CH out of friendship, my thread was an introduction and I am in the mid of now doing everything involved and would love to be able to update and ask for advice etc - i thought that was the point ?? If i wanted to write about moving with no desire for help uhh, dunno, i'd journal...... ?
 
^Yeah, Blogs are a journal.......
In the future if you have questions PM a Moderator for the forum you are unclear on-
You have started 6 threads in TDS since the 17th- I'm sure the threads that are open of those, you could update in.
THAT is why we suggest a person Blog.

We really like to give everyone the opportunity to be on the front page and when one person is creating thread after thread with not a lot of discussion to come with it- its not fair to other TDSers.

That's all I'm saying about it here- if you have more issue, PM me or Pip, PA or N3o.

Sorry I couldn't get back to you in time bro, I have been really busy today.

Ocean's response is spot on. :)

If you think your thread deserves to be open, or possibly moved to another sub-forum, message the moderator. You can message any moderator in the TDS team if you feel more comfortable talking to one over the other, but the one who closed your thread is probably best to message.

Basically when I feel the need to post something about how my life is going, like a mini-update, I use a blog entry.

If I have a specific topic that deserves space for discussion, I post a topic on it.

If this doesn't make sense, Ocean's explanation is a great supplemental one. I kind of over-simplified it for the fact that I have no time as well man. We're working and racking up the over-time hours, so I'll talk to you later and I hope that your move goes as smoothly as possible. :)
 
Hang in there, TAOW.

For those who celebrate Easter, how did you celebrate? I spent the morning/early afternoon with a good friend walking along the waterfront through the weekend market, ate some falafel, went home, and cooked a non-traditional dinner of ham, soba alfredo, and asparagus for roomie and me - neither of our families are around, so we had a good dinner, awesome music and a peaced-out evening. :)

I have not eaten ONE piece of Easter candy this season.

I didn't eat so much as a easter egg which is odd for me because i like chocolate quite a bit. But when i overindulged over christmas my stomach was fucked up for a good while after. My stomach is no longer used to eating so much junk food because i try not to anymore. None of my family had any easter stuff either actually.

We had a turkey over the weekend and that suits me fine. Though i much prefer ham to turkey. But it was all good. Glad you had a good time of it as well.

I might go vegetarian except for fish and poultry but i still like me ham and other pork products such as bacon.
 
I see , I misunderstood the whole concept thread / blog - my bad ocean - wont happen again. It swamps down the forum, I get ya. Sorry.

just looking back - was hostile about the whole thing and that has no place in TDS at all / let alone w/ ocean - so for any who were negatively affected by how I acted esp in a place where help is the goal, sincerest apologies, I dunno what I'd do w/out the ppl and help I get here - still make mistakes just like any other area of my life though.

It's OK TAoW; so many people confuse "Basic Drug Discussion" and "Other Drugs" that confusing what's considered a blog entry and what's considered thread worthy in any one sub-forum is a harder line to draw.

We are all hoping that you'll have some brighter days ahead and that really is also applicable for us all too. :)

We can do it!!! %)

PS don't forget to bring the batmobile, you're going to need it! =D
 
ty for being cool about it bro, but for real I take my actions and words seriously - I hate offending (anyone if I have) people due to my own pigheaded shit. I am having a very hard time right now living with myself and this move seems surreal while I try to accept what I have done recently. These are not excuses, but I hope it can help those who ask, "why would someone be such a dick ?!" understand.

I do care about others greatly - and on that note - how is everyone's night looking ? I am giving away tons of clothes lol anyone have requests ?!!?! I've got all shapes n sizes !!! =D
 
TAOW, have you thought of donating those clothes to your local shelter?

Today was BEAUTIFUL out! Hope everyone else got to enjoy some sunshine and pleasantness as well!
 
ya bro - I'm actually working on making a local (although it will be in tampa) skate contest - I have a thing for shoes / hats / clothes bro. I know it sounds kinda like, "who wants someones old shit" but in all honesty I have a real obsessive addictive side (no shit huh) with keeping clothes at top level or i donate them. So the nice ones I'd like to make something for kids to go for instead of waiting for some local shop to offer em some swiss bone bearings or something;

Want any clothes bro ? I'm not kidding I went on this binge when I was on methadone not buying dope - I'm only keeping clothes that could be used for office / formal and my favorites / everything else is new for warm climate - the rest ALL must be goin o good use. Warmer stuff I'm going to homeless shelters but name brand stuff seriously I can make a list lol! Just no shoes =D I take so much heat about it from my guy "friends" but ladies love it LOL.

I think anything you are giving away won't fit me at all. Besides, I had to punch a new hole in my belt. This medicine I'm on is making me lose any body fat I have like mad crazy. :o

I'm close to needing to punch another hole into it so I'm now eating all the sugar packed foods I want, which isn't even that much compared to what I see other people do. 8(

Now that I have a method of transportation I want to go work out at the gym. :)
 
Hope everyones day is going better than mine.

My knee has been hurting lately, today it was worse than ever, and the new guy at work who has been known to talk about people (namely me) behind their backs, straight up laughs out loud when I'm telling another coworker how I injured myself over the weekend. I want to choke this guy out, throw him over a cliff, etc. it just drives me mad how he acts and I am trying not to completely lose it and resign. Really really really drives up my rage when I have to interact with this guy. Just had to rant about that.

Made it to my first NA meeting tonight, tried to go to one over the weekend but the location I had was out of date and no one was there. The one I went to tonight was good, friendly people and everyone is there for the same reason which feels good too. I plan on going to one or two a week until further notice... got 5 weeks clean from opes today which is kind of all right I guess. Got a long way to go.
 
Saw a good friend and had some great conversation today. Good friendship = medicine.

:!:X:(:?

I just wrote so much in response to this and Windows 7 in all it's unquenchable thirst for FAILGASMS just chose some button or whatever to click that erased the whole fucking shit.

I totally agree with you Legerity, I went to my friend boo's house on Easter cuz the S.O. was sleeping from 10a-6p from a dex binge fri/sat into sunday, and it was so de-stressing.

I wasn't planning on going to see boo on Easter, I would have rather done something special with S.O. unique to my beliefs. Easter for me is a celebration of individual re-birth and resurrection to be celebrated with those people fighting with you to become the self you want to be... it's not about a tomb where jesus use to be or whatever, it's not about boosting candy sales or a bunny rabbit though bunnies are super awesome nonetheless, but S.O. hates all holidays and has even slept through Christmas all three years we have been together, so I have kinda come to expect that I will be spending holidays alone, though to be honest it still suprises me that I feel 10x more lonely, depressed, and occassionally suicidal/self-harming on holidays than when I'm alone on any other day.

I just couldn't sit in my moldy apt looping in asking S.O to wake up to no avail, going outside to smoke cigs to fill the void of companionship and repeating any longer. I'm trying to quit smoking and being alone makes it impossible for me to not smoke to cope, so I said ok self, “You don't have a car because your mehanic stole it... You don't have a license because you made the mistake of covering S.O's ass when he was too fucked up (and asked me if I would drive his car to cop him and his retarded ass friend some dope—so out of love, I did and ended up getting a completely bogus ticket he didn't try to help me pay before my license was revoked) or too “tired” (said he couldn't drive back from DC from visiting his friend though I had been up as long as he had helping him study for a final and I ended up driving w/no license, getting pulled and then getting arrested for the first time ever- not something I ever thought would happen) so should I say fuck it and go see boo for the sake of trying to avoid getting cancer, or stay in the depression of the situation?”

I decided I would go get a smoothie and a pack of cigs--- since S.O hid the carton I got earlier and wouldn't tell me where or wake up to get one for me (degrading, I know) with the credit card he's let me use for all kinds of stuff in the past since we already agreed I would pay it down however much I spent--- and go to boo's house since I was sure I wasn't going to get pulled on Easter and I was right, I didn't see a single piglet to or from boo's house. This simple act of an attempt at self-preservation caused more damage than I could have ever imagined.

As I was telling boo goodbye to head back home, I get a call from the S.O yelling at me to bring back his car and credit card or he is going to report both stolen.
So I get back home to be told the following:

“You are the most vile person I have ever met. You completely fucking disgust me. You are the worst friend I have ever had and I don't know how anyone can even stand to be around you. You are just as horrible as your dad. ( My dad psychologically and sexually abused me, my mom and my bro and sis... My dad also recently held my brother at gunpoint b/c he said my brother stole a carton of “his” eggs... just to give you an idea of the comparison, and the hurt intended by the comment.) You don't really love me. You are a thief and you should just FUCKING KILL YORSELF, SERIOUSLY. GO GET SOME ROPE, MAKE A NOOSE, PUT IT OVER YOUR HEAD AND STRING YOURSELF UP FROM THE CEILING- FOR REAL PLEASE GO FUCKING KILL YOURSELF NOW.”

In the past I have cut myself when he was like half as vindictive as he was on Easter, but I managed to stay strong because PTSD makes you dissociate, and oddly enough, it separated me from my emotions so effectively, I was able to understand that in fact he wasn't saying these things because they were true but because he was projecting his own self-loathing onto me. Did I think about grabbing a sharp object and fucking my heart to death with it? Of course, but I realized it wasn't a pain I had caused him, it was pain his mother had caused him, I was just the most convenient target and luckily, a female too. So for the first time, that kept me from cutting or doing something else injurious when I have to take a verbal beating. In fact, the only drug I abused that night was nicotine and I have shittons of lorazepam and adderall I am very careful no to become addicted to but could have very well taken to OD. And for that, I was rewarded by The Great Power Of Justice in the Universe-- See I couldn't find any shrubbery for like... a while and then the most amazing trichomaliciousness landed in my lap, and in all of God's infinite jest and irony, the name of the strain happens to be “nightshade.”

So how were you guys' Easters? :D

I am sorry to hear of your story IAMWHY :( It is rough for us to be subjected to the misplaced anger of others' and you are an incredible person to recognize that your SO was acting out on his own loathing and not actually meaning what he said. You have a mountain of compassion and understanding within you, it is apparent. I hope things clear up or at least reach equilibrium for you soon :\ :)?

+1 on the new meds. After years of struggling with antidepressants, my shrink finally figured it all out and diagnosed me with ADD. I'm now on Ritalin and despite being starving all the time (paradoxical reaction), I am much more focused and grounded.

I'm not a natural stick figure and was shocked at how much weight I lost during my working season - before the Ritalin. It was stress. Now I feel I can focus on eating a healthy diet. Ritalin has side effects I don't think I can manage in the long term, but I feel 1000% better at present. Others have noticed a change for the better.

Off to eat some more falafel and tahini :)

That's awesome! :)

If you are noticing anxiety with Ritalin, I would switch over to something like dexedrine or adderall. Some people may fare better on Ritalin though, I've never used/tried it.

I like to eat a meal before taking the medication, or at least take it with food, so that I can eat some food before being unable to want to eat a lot for a while.

I also notice I cannot eat breads, but anything like dairy or fruit, is really easy to eat.
 
I got hit on by a 20 year old today. Now I get to strut around like I'm the shit for the rest of the night until I am required to put my dentures in the glass next to my rocking chair whilst I review my AARP options and yell at kids to get off the lawn
