Might take a bit getting used to the new name. Sorry to hear about your divorce, hope everything works out for the best.
As for me I started my 2nd semester last week and am looking forward to it. This is quite an accomplishment for me as I didn't think I would make it through 1st semester. School has given me a purpose and has shown me that I am capable of so much more than I thought.
I have some pretty good days now and then, something I didn't think was possible. I still deal with mood swings, the occasional pa and other delightful aspects of the disorder.
Sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you don't take this the wrong way but I started this post way back on Sept 13/08 & it has been my personal venting ground shall we say. Just like Diva has "Diva news".
So how about creating a post for yourself where you can vent all you want?
You know what kid I like your outlook & I have read that people who have an optimistic outlook fair better than others. It comes down to what you think will happen, if you think it will work out, it will - hope & resiliency play such a big role.
Thanks for asking, not so good today. It's a whole new bunch in my classes this semester and some of them are just off the wall. Today I feel like I was in the twilight zone. I told my mum how I felt and she said I felt the same way at the beginning of the 1st semester, she's right. It took me quite a while to adjust, some of these people don't act like adults. When the teacher is talking they are having side conversations, or eating chips from a rather noisy plastic bag.
If I could only learn not to let them get to me, ignore them as my purpose there is to learn so that I can eventually one day get back to work. You see I''m not really good at handling twits who don't take others into consideration.
I took Taoist Tai Chi and just loved it, I find it focuses and calms my mind. I have tried other forms of meditation such as visualization, diaphragmatic breathing and others but Tai Chi really worked for me.
By the way another form of meditation is Yoga, until my operation this year I was practicing Hatha Yoga and found it also focuses and calms the mind,
Thanks for understanding the need for the separate post.
You know what when we are going through stressful or lousy days (in my case) we never think it will end, but it does. I know I've been there. I never thought I would have some not so lousy days, but I do.
One thing to keep in mind that you have come through whatever you have in the past and survived (obviously). Although things seem overwhelming at the time, when taken into context or as the moderators have suggested broken down into smaller pieces it can be manageable.
I went into school to finish one of my computer tests today & wanted to sit down at a computer. Unfortunately this girl ( a ignorant twit) had her backpack on the seat. I politely asked can I sit here? She told me go sit somewhere else, in a very ignorant tone. I was furious, I said something to her. Then considering all the off the wallers (I think I made the word up myself) I didn't say anything else and just moved to the other side of the room far away from her. Then you wouldn't believe what the twit said, she shouted over "come and sit here if you like", I couldn't believe it. No way was I sitting near her.
I just shook my head and put my hand up motioning no.
What did I tell you there are a lot more of them to deal with this semester. Hey and this is only the beginning of the semester, heaven help me.
