Um, how when I can't have a stable mood for more than two seconds?

In reply to Vacation is supposed to be relaxing?!, posted by alii on June 20, 2002, at 0:10:50
What's a vacation? I never realised how much others took vacations till the last few years. When I was married, we sometimes went on his idea of "vacations" - drive non-stop to visit his family where I did all the cooking & cleaning if I wanted to eat.
The only time I ever called something a vacation was when I was 7 & we moved across Canada. I was talking with my Mom the other day about that trip. It was a nightmare for her but as a little kid, I didn't know how horrible it was for her. I just remember camping outside, sleeping by our car, bathing in streams, & eating bran flakes in the morning before hitting the road again. For a kid, it was lots of fun.
I don't mean to sound like I'm dismissing your post - please, I'm not. I'd rather be feeling good & never have a vacation than all the money & time to take a holiday but not be able to appreciate it. But ust once, I wish I could go somewhere for a real vacation with a good friend.

IsoM,
I learned young that my leisure time is far too dear to allow others to dictate what I do with it. I don't vacation with people who have crazy ideas about trying to do all, see all, etc.
So my complaint about relaxation is more of a gripe about how I am unable to escape this terrifying disease that will not let go.
I wish only to have a few days strung together where I do not plan death. Where I do not burst into tears for no reason. Where I can be symptom free.
It's late. I'm crying. I've lost three posts already to this piece o crap laptop. I am sorry that you have not had enjoyable vacations since the one you had as a child.
I love the places I get to go, the things I get to see.......if only I could not be me with my screwed up head/emotions/moods.
Alii

Like I said - I'd rather no vacations but a cheerful frame of mind than the best vacations in the world, all the money to spend but feeling very depressed. What's Paradise if one doesn't feel happy - it might as well be Hell? Wish I could be there with you - maybe my understanding & sympathetic enthusiasm would make you forget for a little while. On the other hand, you might decide to gag me instead. :-)
