THE NEXT DAY THREAD - NOVEMBER

Evening all!
Bridget. That is brilliant to hear! I don't do petty either. Let the trivia buff's go round and round, till they find another petty situation to pass (waste) their time, as they do. You, are greatness, (no, not your arse) and i seriously suspect have bigger fish to fry......;-)

Glad you survived Ronnie. That really must've been so difficult. Geez, you've got your head screwed on, that's for sure.

Supermodel T. Under the Occupational safety act 2004, smoko x 2, and lunch break please.

You'll be great at your interview Cakes. You must be looking and feeling great, and take your kick arse Jamesian attitude along too. You will glow!

Yes Ronster. I've had a little situation here this afternoon too. A virtual tsunami of 'he said....she said's ' have errupted amongst some friends.
Despite my best efforts I've found myself involved. I don't do petty, and am having trouble maintaining my attention span on the thing. When this guy left, having dumped a load on me, and at times insinuated that I am a liar it could have gone either way.
Now....Bridget has a choice......she could become invested in other people's bollocks and fuck off to the Bottle-O or she could make good on a few promises she's made to herself.
1. Be an autonomous, confident, quietly acheiving mature adult (Thanks Angel )
2. Stay cleaned up and wake up feeling great tomorry.Ner Ner nee ner ner shithead.(Thankyou G force )
That bloke's going to scuttle back to his nice safe relationship and feel great about himself in the morning.
I'm the one that'd have my head in the dunny hating myself.
I know I pratt on endlessly lately,but the (longwinded) lesson I'm taking from this is that other people's shit is just that.
Me first. I'll help others if/when I can.
Meanwhile Tawny has spent a day with her mulch, and hasn't taken crap from any one :H

Bridge never let a "dickhead" spoil ya day you ARE the best

Hi everyone,

just popping in for a quick post.

I'm mostly logged off at the moment, but I am reading. Things are not gong well here at all, and I'm not managing it very well either. It isn't so much the objective situations but all the family dynamics that go on around them. And there is lots of "petty" in that. I'm really trying to stay above it by not responding, but it means it tends to fester inside me instead. And my mother is being a complete cow, which she has been for most of my life, but it is particularly hurtful at the moment. Its a sort of "I'll never be good enough" situation, which I thought I'd got over years ago, but it has come back to haunt me.

Anyway, had a mental health day yesterday and just stayed at home and chllled out. (And we also got a new lots of kittens on Friday, so I got to spend some quality time with them!! - very therapeutic!!) Have decided to make an appointment with a counsellor and also to go back onto antidepressants. I dont really like what the do to me, but I've been thinking about it for a while, and I've just got to the stage where if I dont I'll do something crazy.

Wavey your statement about how the back dog hadn't hit you so hard for a long time was a bit of a breakthrough for me. I've had serious depression in the past, and some other little bouts of mild depression, and then have just had some times where I've been sad. I know the differences in them for me, and this has gone way beyond sadness and grief (which is part of life to be dealt with) and mild depression (which lots of people get at times) and is on its way to something more major (which needs to be treated). So I know what I need to do, and I hope and trust that you are doing the same. Am thinking of you.

Anyway, I love reading this thread when I'm feeling crap. And Tip ........ hopefully you will make it to NZ on your world tour!!

Love to everyone ........... TF, Angel, Bridge, G, fickel, reggie, ronnie, asp-man - and anyone else I may have forgotten.

Oh, almost forgot .... Uncle Mame in Canberra at the moment and about to sign a big contract for some work in the new year. If he does, it is going to be cheaper for him to get an apartment than stay in hotels, so I'm hopefully going to also go over for a couple of weeks. Will also visit friends and rellies n Sydney and Melbourne and would love to meet some of you crazy people in person if there is a chance!!

take care everyone!!

Morning Mame, Reggie, and all to come!
You're a funny fecker Reg. Don't forget, stat's show, that take off and landing are the most likely times for accidents. Safe travel's!

Morning Mame. I've heard that some antidepressant's can be lifesaver's, even if our body takes a bit of time to adjust? Good luck my friend.

A safe, sober, and magical day to all. Bring it on!

Morning peeps...
Mame, really good to hear from you. You're doing the right thing going on meds - really, things must be pretty stressful now....use 'em if you need 'em. The other option is probly self medicating and we ALL know how that turns out. Would love to see you over here.
Gotta run.

Morning All,
Oh Mame, I've just had a few tears for you.
Yesterday as I said I had a brush with the pettiness demon. It really is one of my pet hates, and it's right to not become invested in it. However I've also been guilty of ignoring and avoiding confrontation and then exploding like a chunk of C4.......or drinking my own body weight in Vodka.... Long fuse..... big bang. Surely there's a middle way for us ?
You're in a very difficult situation there. You're probably thinking that if you explode now you could end up being perceived as the one who made the whole situation worse (never mind that some other people explode all the time !)
But there WILL be a time when this is all over. I reckon you get all the guns into your arsenal that you possibly can. If that's anti depressants, bring it on (I'm a HUGE fan)
I would LOVE to meet up with you lot in the new year. I think it would do us all the world of good. Let's cross our fingers for Mr Mame's contract.
Reflecting upon my little spat yesterday,I realised last night that the focus for me was/ usually is WINNING the argument. (This infers that there must be a LOSER). Just a little realisation I think. Probably a very child-like attitude on my part. As we have previously discussed alcoholics are very child-like people in some ways. Somebody posted somewhere a while back that when we start drinking, our inner development grinds to a halt. That would make me a 15 year old obnoxious teenager.
Oh God, I'm babbling again.
I am SO FECKING GLAD I didn't drink last night.
Go hard everyone.
Bridge

Morning all

Bridge well done girl for not picking up that drink, how many days are you?
Mame....you go girl, like the saying says..you can pick your friends but you cant pick your family.
I had some really good news yesturday I have finally got my date through for my citzinship ceramony (sp) and it is on Australia day, I am sooo pleased as my mum & dad will be over then so they will be able to watch us all.
Good luck Angel for today

Arvo all - just reading the paper on line and HAD to share this little gem:

A TOWNSVILLE school has come under fire for giving 240 of its Year 12 school leavers a stubby holder as a graduation gift.

Back later.
