How Are You In One Word v. I got a feelin'

From suicidally depressed this morning,to gobsmacked and crying tears of relief tonight.

Today my bf was chatting to his (very well off) sister about it,and asking advice about how to sue his former boss for wages owing. Turns out many people have been similarly screwed over,tried to sue and the boss cleverly got out of it. So out of the blue,his sister said "Why don't I give you guys the $15000"? Of course bf said he couldn't accept something like that,but his sister knows we both have anxiety disorders and she has had one herself for many years. She said "This debt will be hanging over your head for the next 10 years at least,and I want to see you get better,and this debt will make your anxiety so much worse. I'm in the position where I can easily afford it,so if $15000 will make it go away,please take it as a gift".

We're still gonna try and sue the boss,but in the meantime have humbly accepted her amazing offer. I can't get over it,and can't stop crying from relief. How does one ever go about thanking someone for this? <3

Wow, that is amazing and inspiring! How would you best go about thanking the sister? By living a productive and happy life! I'd urge you to talk to a lawyer about all of your options. Perhaps you two can make the sister's day a bit better by making her a nice supper or going to a fun museum/movie/whatever she likes, together. Living up to your obligations going forward, however, is still the best.

Reading this makes me smile. I'm still feeling sad because my ex still has my dog, and he's lived up to his promise to be relentless. I feel restricted because if I were to go try to retrieve her, I would be committing a crime (he has her stowed in his garage, and I don't break into people's houses or anything). But overall I feel prepared and free. I will get my doggie back legally and ethically. It might take several days, but it will happen. Last word: determined.
 
Miss nervosa i am glad to hear that somone tossed you a bone because most everyone is dealing with money problems and it is a rarity now days to have people perform an act of kindness such as that i wish nothing but the best for u and your bf.

Neo- i hope you feel better, sending good vibes your way.
 
Thank you Mariposa and Fatjosh <3

I just realised why I can't relax and am having anxiety dreams and panic attacks.....I'm waiting for the next bad thing to happen :( I'm so scared that something so good has happened that something terrible is bound to quickly follow. I know this is unreasonable and even paranoid thinking,but as much as I tell myself that this is silly,I can't relax.
What the hell is wrong with me?! Can someone help? :(

My words today are fear and dread
 
Mariposa - I would be freaking the feck out if someone took my dog. Sounds like you are going about it the right way.

I feel "Pretty Good" today.. took it really easy this past weekend and I should be starting my new job soon. I have been suffering depression on and off and decided that I am going to try some supplements first before going back to the Anti-D's (if needed).
 
SAD
My girlfriend of 4 years left me last night but i will continue to battle my addiciton i have 8 months clean
 
Ah, shit Totach. That sucks. Any way back d'you think or more on of those just have to move on times? Keep strong dude, don't let it get the better of you with a step back. (((ManHug)))
 
Thanks sepher i do not think there is a way back i have put this girl thru hell for most of those four years getting high all the time she desrves better i was just hoping i can repay the favor now that i am almost dont with my mandation to treatment but now i will never get the chance to treat her like the princess she desrved to be treated like. Its ok tho its just another reason for me never to go back to drugs
 
That's very unfortunate, totach.
I hate it when drugs come between a man and a woman (or a man & man / woman & women).
But you are right, this should be a very strong reason for change. I'm glad you recognize it too.


Uncanny.
 
horrified
My housemate just discovered that someone came in our flat last night and took my housemate's niece's wallet and iphone.
The security gate and front door were open this morning.
Fuck.
I feel SICK at the thought of someone being in the house.
That is like my number 1 absolute worst nightmare....and it actually happened :(
Wow, just when I was getting control over my anxiety :(
 
What the hell!!
Dude that is so messed up..
Perhaps you guys should get more locks on your doors & windows..?
Thats ucked.
 
This place is pretty damn secure....well...at least I thought it was.
The security gate was picked. The SECURITY GATE. What the actual fuck?! That is NOT secure :(
 
How low can some people get, honestly.
That's lower than rock bottom.
Perhaps you should get one of these:

I kno that feeling when the slightest glint of happiness seems way to good to be true. Life has thrown me one curveball after another starting befor i was even out of the womb. But it all really started when i was 11 in 2001. I lost 1-2 family members a year until it hit a depressive climax at 17 when i lost my dad 2 days befor i graduated highschool,and we lost our house. During that time it was like i was scared to hope for a shift in the tone of my life because everytime i thought "ok its over" bam a big emotional fuck you. I thinks its like keeping your expectations low so u wont be let down. It is only now since i have got off opiates that i feel like life is my oyster. I still feel the emotional scars but maybe there is somthing you can do to keep the positivity going, i have been reading philosophical shit said from some straigh OG's like thoreau,and the dali lama ect. I have tried to change my attitude about everything, maybe you can try to as well. I hope u can shake this i know its not any way to live life, hope and keeping life exciting r essential for happiness and happiness is the drug we r all born addicted too as an evolutionary tool. Best wishes, josh.
 
@ josh--HAHA!! LOL! you made me laugh so hard with your "straight OG's" --I couldn't figure out what the hell you meant at first which is probably due to the fact that I am a not-so-straight OL. =D

cloudy and sconnie, stay strong, you two. <3

n3o--that sucks. I have had someone come into my house before and steal stuff and it is terrifying.

me: less-than-excited to be starting back to work next week. Last year all my classes were small and I just found out that they are all to capacity and over.:!
