Oh Kara Lynn
Hugs back to you.
You know that feeling you said you had when your boyfriend left, and you said good bye but you wanted to run after him.Its that feeling. For a whole bunch of reasons
and I'm sad that the Zyprexa doesn't seem to be doing it for me anymore.I'm tired of watching other people run off and be in love and get married get excited about things.
I thought this time it was my turn.
I know life doesn't work that way. I know most people live lives of quiet desperation. I know things could be so much worse. But right now I'm just feeling bitter, and quite a bit sorry for myself. It will lift.
Thank you for asking.I'm going to read your Mother thread now.
I have quite a "mother" tooDid your boyfriend say good-bye for good?

I won't to fall in love again, too. I mean real love; the kind that sends shivers down you spine when you are touched or even see your love/mate...long term thing, you guys know what I mean I'm sure.
I want to wrap and watch movies, go to Shakespeare in the park and have picnics and romantic getaways. I feel under weather and have someone to cook for me or go to the store, not because I expect them to, but because they want to in earnest.
I want to be able to do the same for them without being asked or being asked--whichever the case is.
I have not had chocolate covered strawberries or purchased flowers for anyone other then friends or mom in three years and I miss that.
There most be someone near here I tell my-self but only seem to see other's in love and meet those that deserve love from someone, but are just not "right" for me. I do not want to dye single but will never date/marry just to date/marry.
Kara, you know me well enough to know I feel for you right now; gabbix you know I feel bad for you, too, and your med prob...Aurora and I were rooting for you both!!
Back to self-block land...

Hi Gabbi,
Yes, unfortunately I know that feeling all too well, over and over again. Mornings are the hardest for me for some reason. I wake up with this gnawing fear in my gut and have to talk myself into get out of bed before it eats me alive.I am still living with my boyfriend but looking for a place to live--I'm trying to believe I'll feel better when I get out of here. Today I was talking to an old Russian woman who was trying to convince me to stay--that anything was better than nothing, and that I would be in nothing but financial hardship and more loneliness if I left. She was telling me to either wait until I found another man, or have and affair in the meantime. (I asked her if she knew anyone...) It played into all my fears, of course.
Gabbi, I know the utter letdown of having a med look like it's going to work and then fail you. It is in my estimation, nothing short of torture. But I will say to you what someone said to me-- that the fact that it started to work means something can and will work for you, it's just a matter of time before you find it. How long were you taking Zyprexa before it stopped working? Have you given up on it entirely or are you going to try and see if you can still work some in?
There was some movie I saw once, maybe it was called The Big Picture, where this woman runs into her friend and they're discussing his woes and she tells him he should go ahead and feel really sorry for himself. I always liked that line. The other line I liked is when Martin Short tells someone they can't enter the room he's in because they'll "track in failure all over the carpet". No relation to you, just a line I liked!
So what was your mother like? We should swap stories sometime-- I'm going to try and email you later. I know this will lift for you. Let's keep our collective prayers going.

Sailor, you are too funny in your self-blockage. Thanks for peeping your head out now and again to bless these threads--you have it all wrong, we'll leave if you *stop* posting.
It's funny, or sad, really. I used to say I would never marry or date just to marry or date. The older I get, I'm not so sure anymore. I guess I'm going through that dilemma now; by leaving I tell myself the possibility for something better exists. By staying I tell myself nothing else is possible, and this is as good as it gets. The jury is still out.
Sailor, you are one good man, and you deserve to have Shakespeare in the park with the one you love, and shivers down your spine. I don't know who's in charge of timing up there, but I'd like to take issue with them-- I think we've all waited long enough! It's hard to be 'psychologically correct' and tell yourself it'll all happen when it's *supposed* to...
Meanwhile, give Aurora a big kiss for me (ugh she says), and ask her when she will allow you to unblock yourself, you self-blocker, you.

Sailor that was beautiful.
Shakespeare in the park (sigh) I haven't done that in
six years. Its funny my thing is I miss having someone to keep my feet soft for. Its a quirk of mine You're just being silly with your self blocking, you are funny and so caringKara Lynn, that knot in the stomach is the worst.
That sense of loss. I'd be glad if you e-d me
sometimes two women together can turn a tragedy
into a comedy.
Thanks

a big group hug from me. Sailor you'll find your mate someday.. you're way too romantic to be single for life.. I have faith. I know it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel and all that.. But she's out there.
