Hanging in there by a thread
Hi guys, I'm hanging in there by a thread, I know that some of you will think that I'm one of those suicidal depressing person, but I don't see myself as someone like that. I see myself as a strong girl who can handle everything that comes her way, it's just that sometimes things just get too tough for her to handle at times. I'm taking five classes got about four to five papers due within this month and dealing with some guy troubles at the moment. It really is hard for me to deal with everything cuz I can't let my parents know about the troubles that I'm going through, and I tend to hide a lot of stuff to other people (unless they are my close friends). So if you see me, you won't even know how frustrated, complicated and confused I am, until I get to know you longer than that. Right now I'm totally stressed out and I'm totally skipping some of my classes cuz that to me is a way of destressing. Right now I feel like I'm a rubber band and it's about to snap in two, thats how bad things have gotten:-5

I think that at some point we have all been to that breaking point. Try talking it out. If you're already cutting some classes, why not just drop one? Do you have a school counselor you can talk to? Sometimes you just need to back off and not hold it all in...that's the worst thing you could do. If there is a counselor, I'm sure they've dealt with this many times.

i remember the days when my daughter was in college. at times it was pretty hairy for her(. But maybe you are taking on too much. Is there anyway you can lighten your load soon? I have learned with age. don't over whelm yourself. gets you nothing but a ulcer. Grabing for the golden ring is one thing. but you have to be careful not to hang yourself with the rope it is attached to. Get what i mean??We all have to go at our own pace. Some semesters my daughter felt she could take on more. others she took it easy. Take care and good luck:)

i'm sure you can make it ... its not going to be easy nothing worth doing ever is but one day your troubles will get easier and you will look back and think what the hell was i worried about honest you will :-6:-6
D*mn Jimbo, how the h*ll to you get out of bed each day? It is not a weakness to cry, it's healing. Maybe this is why you joke so much, to forget about the pain for just awhile. Although it's never gone from your heart or your mind, you will find some healing someday. I pray that it is sooner than later for you hun.

i brought my surviving sister to natasha who died up on my own till she was six only to have the mum take her from me and marry someone else in america thus changing her surname it took me twelve long years to find her ,and when i did i found out she had been raped ,left for dead and had been in a mental hospital for five years ,but find her i did she is back in the uk now life has been tough and believe me my daughter is very ill but all the time you have someone to love you and you love them you have hope ... and if you have hope you find the strength to carry on :-6:-6
Sounds to me that you are a strong man Jimbutt, most people would end up in the psycho ward with me if all that happened to them. Having hope is one of the best attitudes to have....without hope, you have nothing.

This is very true. In the most trying of times this is enough to get you through.

"Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel with Kate Bush
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'cos you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know its never been easy
Don't give up
'cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong

I know, and please don't think I was trivialising. I just know that feeling stuck is the worst. If you can find someone to talk something out, you usually see that you have options.

Hi guys I just got my grades back today and I got two A-'s one B+ and two B's, I'm so proud of myself, I never expected my grades to be this good. I guess all my hard work HAS paid off. All the times that I forced myself to let go of that guy, that I forced myself to pay all my attention to doing my schoolwork and getting good grades. I have learn my lesson, I shouldn't put too much into things, I shouldn't think that just cuz a guy is holding my hands then it means that he wants to be my boyfriend, I shouldn't be so naive, I should know better than that. I've began talking to that guy again, but this time I know better, we're just friends. I'm going to help him put his life back together, so he'll get better grades, and he'll just be my friend, someone that I could turn to. I won't mention how much I like him and all that crap anymore even if I still feel that way..... do I still feel that way? Do I still want him to be my boyfriend one day? It doesn't matter what that answer is going to be because I know that his heart and his mind and his soul doesn't feel that way about me, he probably never will. I'm just a toy to him. But who knows? *sigh* Sometimes I really want to know what's going to happen to me in the future, cuz I know that if I can, I wouldn't be sitting here right now, stressing about **** like that.
