I'm this close |--|

21. I'm doing much better now. Some of the strangest, most glorious things have been happening since I posted this.. old friends.. and so much inspiration for me and my guitar

I've been in and out of the hospital since my pops shot himself, about 10 years ago, but I'm about to start seeing my old psychiatrist again next week. We got along famously last time I saw her (about 4 years) she was very helpful and friendly and it can only get better

I wish you the best of luck, and thanks guys

p.s. sunshine, do some research on BPD, then we'll talk like adults.

 

It seems like the lostkid/sunshine exchange was based on a misunderstanding.

It began with lost kid doing a facepalm. It seems that his facepalm was inspired by his mental health issues.

Sunshine replied with:

which didn't seem to have malicious intentions, but was perhaps too light hearted for a serious thread

Lostkid seemed to take slight offense, and responded with this

Sunshine responded with a defense of her "kid" inference, which is reasonable in and of itself, but which got pretty nasty, and became a distraction from the central issue of the thread

Things continued to get nasty as the exchange progressed.

I don't think that there was any original malicious intent by either side.

My hope is that one or both of you will be big enough to just let it slide and walk away. There's something more important to be dealt with here than an on-line battle.

ps, I will plus rep one or both of you if you just let it go

 

don't listen to the angry voices lol. I believe everyone must harbor the propensity to go from happy to angry, though - it doesn't necessarily mean you're an angry person. It could even just mean you have high positive hopes and expectations, thus you get upset when they aren't carried out. And you're human. Find me a human that only has the happy side of thoughts and intentions.

oh and contrary to popular belief, people do suck. Individuals don't, but people, yes. You cannot get them to do your bidding, which is why a healthy relationship with yourself and a humble one when it concerns others is usually the healthiest base.

that is all.

 

You've exhausted all of the help, because the only one that could really do anything about this is you. No one can make you change except you. What kind of help are you looking for? Are you asking someone to fix this for you? We can't, only you can. It is going to be a bit of a journey, but start looking toward more positive things. Be around positive happy people. Don't interact at first, just be around them. Stay away from those that don't have your best interest in mind. Do the things that make you happy or feel good. I wish you all the strength in the world. ~hugs~

 

hahahaha, I keep forgeting there is more than one page. Still good advice if I do say so myself.

 

thats the spirit lost. goodluck with everything
