No, I haven't heard from him in a while either. Have you checked with anyone else on his friends list?
As far as the money is concerned, how much are you generally paying in rent? I ask because I notice you live in New York, and I've been thinking a lot lately about how relatively cheap living in Indiana was, especially since I moved to Austin and now Baltimore. In Lafayette and West Lafayette, Indiana, where Purdue is, you can get an apartment for less than $400 a month. I'm just saying, there may be options.
It is rough that this weekend got ya down.
No matter which faith formed you, the
memories of more pleasent times make
a sad time over a Holyday seem that much worse.
Chageing your situation is going to be painful
& difficult. Like the football chant:
Hit 'em again; harder, harder!
1st and 10-- play to your straignths.
its rough the economy is in the toilet, i sympathize with you my darling, my credit is shot also and im broke and am struggling. You are a great person and you will get through this rough patch. You can do it I know you can. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
It's funny...I had put up my computer for the night and something told me I should go get it again and check in here tonight. I'd been on Facebook earlier and just never got around to SG.
I'm glad my pictures could make you smile for awhile today; I know things seem bleak to you right now and I'm sure it's got to be a frightening experience for you. Sometimes when life is that rough you just have to find those brief moments of happiness wherever you can so that you can find the strength to face yet another day. I believe that you've gotten some good direction here from some of the others who've commented on your blog, I know there are services out there that can and will help you...you've just gotta ask. I know that's difficult sometimes but I think you've reached a place in time where there's no room for that. I hope you'll reach out to those in your community for help. You can get through this, I know you can. Much loves, Julie
You know some of what I've gone through in my life. You're a better person than I am. You'll get through this.
Do whatever you need to do. Sell what you don't need. Live wherever you can. Take whatever help you can get. Declare bankruptcy. Don't be ashamed to ask for help. You are in survival mode.
You may need to share an apartment or live in a single room. You may need to put your most cherished possessions into storage. You may need to sleep on someone's sofa for a while. You may need to relocate to a different city or even state. You're going to have to change your life - big time.
Any friends that you've lost - are no real loss. If they aren't there for you now, I'm sorry,but they weren't very good friends.
It won't be easy. You may not be happy. But you'll get through it, one day and one step at a time, and eventually things will begin to get better.
I'm sorry. What I've said sucks. If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't say it. I'll probably get flack for it, but it's the truth. I know it. I've lived it.
Thank you for always sharing your feelings and for so graciously accepting my comments in the spirit in which they were sincerely given.
You are very fortunate in that you have one true friend and ally. From what I've seen, he's extremely intelligent, imaginative, strong, resourceful and engaging. He's compassionate and caring. He's won the well deserved respect, admiration and friendship of many other fine human beings. He's worked hard all of his life. He loves and is much loved in return, and he can be justifiably proud of all his accomplishments.
He will always be there for you, if you will only trust and believe in him.
Please take a moment, look into the nearest mirror, and tell him how proud you are to know him.
the seminar was in farmingdale. it was at a gym called xtreme gym or something like that. an MMA fighter deveidas taurosevicas who just signed to affliction -ran the mma program there.
Well, I hope that tomorrow is the start of a positive cycle for you! I'm looking forward to getting together some day, hopefully soon, to raise a glass or two to your health and happiness and swap some stories. We'll wait just a little while so that we'll have some joy to celebrate
When it rains it flash floods! Well, you are certainly entitled to feel overwhelmed, and I know I certainly would too under those circumstances. I'm glad though that you are going to recieve assistance. That is what it is there for!
I hope that this works out for you - and quickly, too! I know that you're doing everything that you can, now you just need to catch a break or two.
The only thing worse than the weather lately has been the forecasting. I check the NOAA site, make my plans, and then go outside to find that "partly cloudy" is actually rain and strong winds. Oh, well...
Here's to having something to celebrate <raises can of diet Dr.Pepper>
...soon.
oh honey.. you KNOW I am gonna tell YOU. I mean, you are one of the few that I CAN tell everything to... you are like family to me ya know.
And its ok to not be happy all the time. I dont think its feasible to CONSTANTLY be happy... but I am giving it my all! Of course beautiful flowers always help!
Hey, WSF. I had been away from SG for a while, and was surprised and distressed to read your recent blogs, as my recollection of your blogs from some months ago were generally very upbeat and positive.
I'm sorry things have taken the turn they have for you. I have been through some pretty rough economic times, too, and can tell you that while the situation may seem hopeless at the moment, you cannot let despair overtake you. If it does, you will have lost all hope. You MUST keep in mind that this is a temporary situation that will get better. You must also remember it is you who must ultimately solve this problem through positive action. Inaction will get you nowhere. Positive action -- even action that may be unpalatable, like asking friends for help, etc. -- is better than no action, and it is essential to resolving your situation. I know it's hard to do when you are depressed, but changing the circumstances that are depressing you is key to overcoming the depression, IMHO.
I agree with Merlowe. Those government programs are there for a reason. It's not considered shameful to ask for help... if you need it, you need it. There's no shame in it at all.
And I remember back when you helped me. Let me know if I could do anything, anything, whatsoever.
