Sprite Stitch Board!

Sorry to here about your time at school SheWhoRoars. The first week or three is always traumatic. You are definitely not alone. Every time I go back for a new semester I get really nervous and nauseated as a result, ans I am a junior. It goes away after a week I find. I can't do much to help how you are feeling, but I can help with the sunburn and motion sickness. I find that soaking a rag/towel/napkin in vinegar and putting it on the sunburn does wonders, it makes it feel much less hot and helps it heal faster. Its smell isn't the best, but the results are worth it. The only thing that works for my motion sickness is to take a ginger pill before going on a plane, or riding in a car for a while.
I hope the next few weeks go much better for you.
Hellfire, I too have lost friends that have told me I need to change my personality. You are definitely doing the right thing by not having them in your life.

Thanks guys.
Least I know that due to her hating cross stitch she'll never know I've ranted abut her on here. Can't stand another moaning that I've told people about the falling out.

Blunt Melee Weapon, I had no idea about the vinegar! That's really awesome, I'll have to try it!

And thank you guys so much for being so nice! It really helps me a lot

Oh dear. What happened?

Bex- *hugs* It sounds like you're having the same kind of day I am.

Had a meeting earlier with a new group Occupation Plus under the Independence Trust. Another case of turning up someplace new, meet a brand new person, tell them my life story in 10 mins. I really need to learn to say no.
She was one of those, "how does that make you feel?" people, only thought those existed in stories. She wanted every tiny detail of my life. I was like, "yeah maybe breakfast would be a good idea," "ok what?" " I dunno, cereal maybe?" "what cereal?" what the frick does that matter, unlikely i'll ever be a breakfast person anyway.. "i dunno frosties" I said, and she wrote it down! And got me to specify when exactly in my morning routine I will do this, "dunno before I get dressed?" I felt all exposed for some reason, probably just me being stupid... She kept asking questions then saying, "ah, maybr you wouldn't like me to ask about that?" and "oh your body language has changed, your really upset aren't you?" i'm like shrug, but really thinking * hell is that an understatement! Didn't let it get in the way of asking another insensitive question. How the * do I know why I do what I * do?? As far as I know your not a doctor or psych or anything like that, there has been nothing mentioned about privacy or keeping this confidential. "why can't you move on? Whats stopping ypu from moving on?" !!!! Stupid * like you! * hell it's not like I had a shark attack and am afraid of getting back into the water. Who the * says i'll be able to get 'over it' why the * should i?
Why the hell do people look at me and my overweight-ness (if thats a word) and think I desparately need diet plans, weightwatchers, a personal trainer to take me on an intensive excersise routine for six weeks. I am finally ok with being chubby, i'm not overly unfit, I do a whole * load of walking. Being constantly told about diets and excercise is not helping! It took me long enough to be ok with my weight. I'm getting fed up with it.

I've had tough meetings before but * * * this takes the biscuit (putting it kindly).
Not to mention would people stop telling me to write a book on my life! * OFF!
Would it be easier if I painted it on a big * sign towering over the town?????

I've got an actual mental health services meeting coming up as well.
Todays meeting was supposed to be about helping me get out more, join groups, extra activities to grow my confidence up, expand on my skills. But I don't even * know anymore. I mean what the * was it all about??? It's easy to say don't say anything I don't want to, it's easy to suggest I just say no. You have no idea how hard it is. It reminds me of a teacher pupil situation. On my own in a small room with a stranger ttying to do my best and be good and i'm supposed to be doing well and getting better. I regret it as soon as I start, then I can't stop and I always think I can deal with it, I always * up, always.
I am just sat here in tears, blade and bandages in front of me, wondering why the * do I exist, why do I keep * up? I keep messing up...

Oh Queenie, I'm so sorry you're feeling like crap. *gives a great big hug* If only you were closer so we could actually hang. I can't say that I completely understand your situation, but honestly, I don't need to. All I know is you're hurting and I don't like it.

Please don't hurt yourself, m'dear. PM me either on here or Facebook, no matter the time. I'll make time to talk, m'kay?

Wow QB that sounds like a seriously * day.. I understand a little about the whole "Tell your life story in 10 minutes" * because I had to do it a few times too when I was younger and in the custody of the state (I was taken away from my mother for reasons I currently don't want to get into). It sucks big time to have to keep rehashing * that happened to you ages ago when you just want to tell the person to shove it up there ass and blow it out their ears..

As for them badgering you with diet and exercise, tell them to F off if you're finally comfortable with who you are and your body. They have no right to tell you what you can and can't do. You are your own person. Don't let some "mental health expert" tell you what you need to do. You know what's right for you most of the time, so do what you need to do for you.

*HUGS* to you. Hope you feel better soon!

Someone needs to tell that interviewer where to get off... unfortunately, I doubt her supervisor knows she's being so obnoxious (or, if ze does know, doesn't care about it)!

"What's stopping you from moving on?" Yeah, well, what's stopping you from being a compassionate human being and not asking such a snotty question, eh? Oh my goddess. How paternalistic and patronizing. That must have grated. I'm sorry you had to endure being raked over the coals.

In America, you would be acting within your civic duty to use your fully-automatic assault rifle to resolve a situation like that. I think. Or at least convince a cop to get tazer-happy on the party in question. The law's kinda fuzzy.
