The Place to Go for Emotional Support
Time

Well don’t worry guys, I wasn’t ever planning on ‘pouring my heart out to her’ or letting her know how intense the situation is. I wouldn’t exactly say I’ve ‘hit bottom’ either. I mean maybe as far as my feelings go, but as far as my physical situation (job, material things, etc) I’ve actually never been better.

I know, but like you said easier said than done. I’m not deluding myself into thinking it’s a possibility it’s going to work out with her, I just want to tell her to sort of get it off my chest and get closure. Plus then she would know why I stop talking to her (having the same job as her will make that hard. Plus we’re both managers so we’ll have to communicate) hopefully without hurting her feelings too much.

I think I’m running out of rope. Or something. I’m finding it hard to care about anything anymore. Except for things which have no solution. I’m not even sure if I’d say I’m miserable, I’m just so grey feeling that it seems like misery. It’s not that there’s really anything bad about my life, it’s just that there’s nothing that gives me joy in life any more. My friends have all become very distant (at least partially by my doing, I’m sure) and I’m not close to anybody any more. I don’t talk to anybody any more. People at work wonder “why I’m not funny any more”. I only eat once a day, if that.

The time is coming soon that I’m going to have to tell the woman that I love how I feel. She doesn’t know. And I know that while she may care, she doesn’t feel the same way about me. It feels like she’s my only real friend left, although that may be just because I’ve unintentionally put her on a pedestal, but either way, it isn’t good. I don’t see the friendship continuing once I tell her. Not that she would abandon me, but I don’t think I could continue seeing her once I know that she knows. So there’ll go the last shred of joy I have. Not that it matters, it doesn’t give me any joy any more. Nothing good is going to come from me telling her, but I just don’t think I can keep it secret any more and it’s time I was honest.

There’s nothing bad about my life, but there’s nothing giving me any kind of joy whatsoever any more. I just feel such an intense nothingness that I may as well not be alive. (And that’s not me being suicidal, it’s just an illustration of how little I am actually living these days) I used to have my music, but I just don’t feel it any more. My alcoholism and drug use honestly hasn’t gotten any worse, but it hasn’t gotten any better either. That may be part of the reason I feel so grey. For such a long time when I started feeling this way I would just up my dosage of one or the other. And it’s not that I can’t just up the dose again, but I guess I’ve just reached a point where I don’t see the point in doing any more because I just don’t have any hope any more. Before I could just do more because I felt like it could help, even if I knew it would only be for a while. Now, even though I could do more, I don’t, because I know I’ll just be a little less coherent but still miserable. Bleck.

In case anybody is wondering, this situation hasn’t changed at all. But the section I have bolded is really close to coming to a head, to where I won’t be able to stand it anymore.

Note that to any concerned parties, I’m not doing anything to further my wish (dream?) of dying.

You’re welcome.

Again, I don’t mind well-reasoned criticism. I have agreed with some of it. I just can’t stand people who nitpick to death or didn’t even pay attention to what they were watching.

Honestly, if you weren’t planning to like the movie in the first place, don’t bother seeing it.

Some people weren’t going to like it no matter what it was. If it had been more original, it ‘wouldn’t have been star wars’, but instead it was a rip off. And like you said, some people actually wanted to hate it no matter what, whether they even realize it themselves or not. Some are just so used to star wars sucking that they weren’t prepared to let that go. In my opinion anyway.

So why are Catholic priests celibate, when that practice is flat out discouraged in the bible? Why are all Catholic churches connected with bishops and popes and whatnot when the bible says individual congregations are to be individually governed? Also need I mention the bible says to call NO MAN ‘father’ in a religious sense. What about baptizing babies? I’ve never met a baby that I was convinced fully understood the gospel. And did you know the original manuscripts, in addition to requiring the individuals understanding, call for complete immersion? I don’t know where the idea of sprinkling babies came from.
