Ahhh, dreamer. I'm so sorry you're feeling poorly. Does this have something to do with the new apartment?
Is there anything I can do to help? If you need an ear, I'm here.

Hey Sweetie,
Glad you found an apartment. type is so misleading
I'm falling apart but the letters look so straight. My teeth are chattering like a rabid dog. Last night I didn't sleep and I was thikng
Am I living yet? There's a world out there that doesn't apply to me. I don't get it. Waht the hell could anyone do to deserve this????????
I really feel for you, Man computers are frustrating at times like this, I just want to shake it and talk to you.
I'll hang on if you will.
I can't say anything happy, I'd feel like I was lying. If I find any good energy in the back of my closet i'll send it your way.Gabbi Insane....

Housing-related problems can be very stressful. After all, it's such a basic need. I hope things work out with your apartment and that you begin to feel better.

Would it help to talk about the complications? 2 minds are better than 1, 5 minds are better than 2, etc, etc, etc.
Damn you have a lot of friends.... :)
That's a good thing BTW.

dreamer, Keep the faith. Relax if you can. Breathe in through your nose, start from the stomach pulling in air till it your belly sticks out then breathe in all the way to the top of your lungs. Take 7 counts to take in air, hold your breath for 4 counts, then take 8 counts to exhale thru pursed lips. Repeat 4 times. Do it when you feel overwhelmed.
Will this help, you say? How the hell should I know! It has helped me in the past. And it will occupy a few moments of ' no thinking' time. Just try accepting where you are and "know" it'll be okay.
There isn't a person on this board that wouldn't help you. Like Grandpappy Greg said...sorry, I forgot what he said. Though I'm sure it was good coming from the old geezer. BTW Greg, I am really happy for you and your family. You're one of the best around these parts, so I hope you stick around.
Dreamer..I'd love to hear your first initial reaction and feeling when I started in with breathing directions, okay? I have a feeling it might be funny.
Who's the one person?Phil

Well...I've said this before...and I don't think there is anything wrong with 'forgetting'. Buddhists value the concept, and I think we over-value 'memory' too much here in the West.
Not that I think we should just forget everything we have learnt in our past, or the good times we have had, but when we let that take away from the joy of today, that's where the problem is.Maybe that is the value in 'letting-go'...there is a liberating freedom in that. I think back to a VERY dark period in my life a few years ago, and I am SOOOO happy to burry that.
You know, ya, I miss some of who I 'used to be..'...but it really doesn't matter now. I've got to value who I am now.....it's called me up to create a new life for myself. To be honest, I know I am doing and feeling my best when I speak like this, because it is that persistent, dark melancholy "..and the infinite sadness..", that causes me to want yesterday...and grieve over things that may seemed to have been great at the time, but really weren't so great.
So...I hope I make sense here. This may sound a bit escapist, but I am fond sometimes of the memory lapses caused by benzos in particular. On a bad night, I would sometimes pop back a few extra Xanax, and put on some soft music, maybe have a bit of wine or whatever, and as long as my other meds where doing their job, it worked out great. I could 'break' a really foul mood like that. Now, I don't mean every night doing this....but I guess that's why I find benzos just beyond 'excellent'. Without any tolerance, they always cause this nice super-sized relaxation in me, great for 'winding down'. And no...I never need 'more'...and take the same dose I have for the past eight or so years.
Anyhow...I'll shut up now. :-)
Peace,
Jay

Took flat on February 8 2002 through **** in ****. Deposit was paid by Miss **** but first month's rent was granted by the Rent in Advance Charity ***8
Rent is £600 per month but Council pays every four weeks; this gives an apparently
reduced amount which will eventually work out as the landlady will be paid twice
during one month.Landlady cannot see how the rent will work out and constantly complains that she is
short of money. We believe that she is now being paid the full amount through
*****.Ms. Dummer (her REAL name folks)asked the Council to change rent payments from ***** to herself
but payment is now back to being made to ******. This had a knock-on effect in
that payment from the Council to Ms. Dummer was delayed which caused more complaints.Ms Dummer has also required Miss **** to have the gas and telephone bills made up
to Ms. Dummer - no reason has been given.The hot water failed during late April; there is no hot water in the flat and Ms. Dummer
has so far refused to have it repaired.All Miss **** wants is to be able to live quietly . She has complied
with Ms. Dummer's requests and has not argued or complained at any time. She is
now extremely upset and cannot understand why her landlady is making life so
difficult for her.I have written this course of events for Miss *****as she finds it difficult to
communicate, especially face to face. This is not a measure of her intelligence
but of the severity of her depression. I have known her for six years and lived
with her for four of those years; she is honest, truthful and does not wish to make
any trouble for anyone but simply to live undisturbed so that she can paint

Can't move into it till the estate agency give back money to the charity that gave one months rent as a holding deposit on this place..so may never move into it..blah blah..got to go out and get legal advice and scare the crap out of them..it's getting more complicated for me--i'm heavily drugged now to stop me going crazy--even the meds aren't helping--not sleeping much.
