Since the start of November...

[The Light]

I have been hearing nothing but bad news.

I want to hear some good news. Next time someone calls me to talk about their shit luck, I am going to be in denial of it. Next time somebody dies, I will deny it, too. I can't take any more shitty news.

[KrazeeStacee]

Well if it makes you feel any better...my life's great.

[The Light]

LOL I'm glad someone's happy.

I'm fine, too, my life is at least together but my friendships are falling apart and everyone around me is lusting, dying, cheating, greedy and or going without. I can't even believe how much bad shit has been happening around me lately.

The same thing kinda happened to me, too, recently. But I kinda took it as a blessing in disguise. I see now just how useless it is to be surrounded by that kind of crap. I don't know if its just coincidence, but since I've lessened the amount of social bullshit, my life's gotten significantly better and less stressful.

Oh one question. You just quit smoking recently, right?

I consider successfully quitting about two months of no smoking, give or take a little. The last time I succesffully quit, I was still a total raving bitch after three and a half. I couldn't handle myself at all. It could have also been other stresssors, but if you have a secret surrender it.

It is totally useless, but the kjind of thing that's been bothering me has more to do with real life situations, like my ex boyfriend and good friend's baby dying at six months old. I just feel helpless in the ways of the world lately, I suppose.

I could have made this thread but it probably would have been entitled "Since the start of February..."

Anyway, deal with it. "Bad news" usually means change and if you're smart and persistant change can mean positive things.

I quit on October 23rd...so I'm not quite at my 2 month mark yet...but I'll be there soon enough.

I'm actually not having a bad time with it at all.

My secret is really just to focus on it. Focus on not smoking. No matter what you do, don't pick up a cigarette. You said you seemed to do that but you weren't yourself. I really can't suggest anything there because I really haven't been that stressed about it. I've kinda like convinced myself that this is how its going to be and that its better this way. So I really have no reason to be bitchy.

Plus, a major reason its so hard is because you get the feeling of wanting a cigarette and you light it up. Well when you can't, it freaks your body out a little and you have to do something to get your mind off of it, otherwise you'll just obsess over it. My distraction seemed to work perfectly: pot.

Anyhow, for the first 3 days, its only physical. Remember that. After that, its all up to you and how strong you are. If I can do it, I'm sure as hell that you can, too.

Good luck!

Wow, that's never a good thing. I'm sorry to hear. =\

However, you can't do anything about it and neither can anyone else. There's some things that just have to happen the way they do and nothing can be done about it. Sometimes, you're just meant to feel helpless in the ways of the world.

hey light? sorry for all the bad news. <3

[The Light]

Yeah for smoking one really has to be at the point of wanting to make an effort to stop and stay with it. I've been at that point before but it didn't last because I wasn't persistent enough.

That's good about your knee! Enjoy your freedom to use it.

i've been going through that situation lately. it feels good to get a refreshing perspective on the people you keep around you by taking a step back at taking a look at what you really value.

i'm just tired of some of the crap they always bring. specifically, i don't care what kind of crap they own, and for god's sake i'm tired of incessant whining. some people need to be slapped around for them to realize their life's not that rough and that they should be thankful for what they have. the potential of your life is what you make it to be. if you want to have fun, you have to take some risks and look at the bright side of things.

I'm sorry, but things will get better. I know everytime situations like that have happened to me, you just have to wait and be hopeful that things will turn around, because eventually they will.

that's sad. i hope you hear some good news soon.

[The Light]

Thanks, you guys. know things will get better but I allow myself to reminisce and be down about them while allowing positive thoughts help me through it, I guess. On one good note school is going really well for me and I have goals I am sort of slowly accomplishing or getting closer to. Sometimes I just get bitter doses of reality all at once.
