    OMG HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED

    I have been going out on chat for the last 4 months thinking that I could just manage it that way, but only once in a while is someone even there.

    I just have too much going on. Even someone naming their child has me going nutso.

    This truly is me right now: :upset: And I have avoided coming here as I don't want to admit this to you on MWO. That is why I thought going out on chat I could just tell a few of you and manage it that way. But no one is ever on chat any more.

    I got better on this site. I got so much better. But then my life got so stressful and I reverted back to the BIG BAD STRESS REDUCER.

    There is not even a smilie that fits. I looked. Maybe I should just go find another way.

          Croft, I've seen your name, I think. I don't go to chat often, don't get much time online, but many here will come a'runnin' if they just know they are needed. You do have to stretch out your neck a bit and ask people to help you, and tell them when to be there. It's hard to get started, but if you read our stories, you can't find much that hasn't already happened to someone else, so people DO understand. Give us a chance to talk to you, O.K.? PM me, and I PROMISE you will hear from me, privately.

            Croft, I am on chat just about every evening, and there are many other "regulars" there too. What time are you trying to get on? I would love to chat with you -- I miss your posts, and in fact was just mentioning you to another MWO member how much we've enjoyed your comments. Feel free to PM me anytime as well, and let me know how you're doing. We're all here to help each other! It's good that you reached out.

            Hugs,
            CS

              (((Croft)))

              Missed you hon!! I can chat on my lunch hour which is in about 45 minutes from right now. I'll go to general then and wait for a little while for you.

              I am AF, doing well, so I would be happy to talk to you on the phone, either. PM or E-mail me and I will send you my phone number if you'd like.

              Have you talked w/Maisai, lately?:l

                Thanks for the posts. Just got off Chat and had a good chat. I need to spend some more time here.

                Yes, I have heard from Maisai. He has a wife and son now and is doing very well. Still very much sober. He has a job translating HIV/AIDS documenation from English to Maisai and Samburi languages. His son was just born. He actually named his son after my son Dylan. Which was sort of a let down as his son was born about the same time as my totaled my car. Some of the stress I am dealing with.

                My son totaled my car. My job is not good. Can you say layoffs happening every quarter and I am getting closer. My parents are living with me and it is not going well. My spouse and I are not getting along. My spouse and my daughter who just moved back in from the college dorm are not getting along. My house is still under construction. I am not getting along with my mother who is living with me. I am driving my Jeep that has no heat in the winter because my son totaled my car to a job that I do not like and does not like me. And I just want a drink to take the edge off.

                  Croft, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. That is an awful lot to manage. I also understand the job scene; I have been looking for a FT job for the better part of the last 5 years. My husband's work has also gone thru 3 rounds of cuts since November, and each time we hold our breath. Even worse for you, if you don't like the job in the 1st place. I am still struggling with AL, but have had a few good short runs AF. Just need some more.

                    Hey Croft, I know what you mean.....you're not sure what you were getting here by reading & posting - I've had the same thing lately. But reading your post has helped me to see that we can really help each other here - thanks.
                    It sounds like you have a lot going on...I'd be happy to chat whenever I'm online.

                        I am reading my post, and I just sound pathetic. I need to pick my sorry self up and suck it up and deal.

                        This is my cycle.

                        Deal, then wallow, then vent, then wallow, and repeat. With a few "breaks" in the middle.

                          I don't think you sound pathetic at all. It sounded like you needed to vent and you
                          did. That's pretty human. I need to do that more here. I admire you for it.

                            Croft, another great thing about MWO. We get to 'see' ourselves in print, and run it by others. You sound as though you deserve a little support and acknoledgement, with your load. And it helps for others to say 'I like you', 'You deserve good things', You are a good person', because we don't get that ofter in real life. This can be a magic place when we're down, because there's ALWAYS someone, somewhere to talk to, and who will care about you, and help you find your way.

                              Nicely put Rubes.. and so true.

                              :l Croft - I didn't see/hear anything pathetic either - just someone who was a bit overwhelmed and in need of encouragement.
