    been noticing a few of your comments today brooke...and others too...and a thought struck me

    we talk about people in the org suffering from depression and we know having been there that we were not supposed to...cos we had a great hope right and we could pray and go out in fs and go to the kh and receive encouragement from loving brothers....the fact that it didnt happen didnt get away from the fact that we were under pressure not to be or show that we were depressed

    and i wonder if we feel the same kind of pressure now outside of the org

    many times on this forum people say that the best kind of revenge is to be happy or successful cos jws dont like to see that...but in truth many of us even after many years are still struggling to come to terms with what was done to us and /or is still being done

    so to everyone who is depressed today ...its ok...really its ok to be...dont feel that you shouldn't be...dont think there is any pressure on you to be happy and successful all day everyday..

    and if you need to tell us well thats what we're here for

    and if you are reading this but dont want to tell anyone ...well thats fine too

    and if you are ok today but couldn't face us yesterday or might not be able to face us tomorrow then thats fine too

    so brooke you cry away...and sirona...and everyone else thats hurting and facing new jobs or loneliness or low self esteem or pms or loss of a loved one no one told them had died or difficulties raising children or had a fight with your spouse or reminders of their childhood or memories of abuse or coping with being shunned or whatever else you are facing today

    you cry away and no need to apologize

    cos we're crying with you

    Mamacat,

    I hope everything goes well with you and the Baby! ((((Hugs))))))! I am sure everything will turn out fine. Let me know how it goes!

    Mumsy,

    Thank you! I am just having a day where I need to cry and get out of the house. I just feel like a Bad Mother when I leave hubby(That's right I said it) alone with the kids.

    I just had a bawl at work this afternoon and it took me by surprise because I couldn't stop crying.

    I am getting annoyed at one of the secretaries in my office who was offended at an email I wrote to her last week--I already apologized to her last week. So today she brings it up at a meeting in front of other people, then she says she would really like it if people let her know by phone when we come back from lunch (she glances at me) if she has our phones forwarded to her--she snapped at me 2 weeks ago because she didn't like it when I called her to tell her I was leaving my desk because she wanted me to email her. Then she says that she doesn't like it when people go behind her back and talk about her (glances in my direction), another girl pipes up that people do approach her to vent frustrations--I thought they were talking about me so I left the meeting to go to the bathroom and started crying. I'm sure you probably don't really understand the above situation without being there.

    Anyway, I feel really stressed out and pissed off at the other secretary. I guess tomorrow I will approach her and let her know I didn't appreciate her bringing up stuff at the meeting that had already been taken care of.

    I am having a bad week and it started Sunday when I found out my 15 year old step son smokes pot and has been sexually active for over a year; he had lied to us and said he was going to a skating birthday party Saturday night but spent the evening at a friends house and the neighbors complained about the noise--they were getting high and getting it on with some other teens. Anyway the lying upsets me--I already suspected that he lies to us quite often. I get upset when he lies and my kids get blamed for his behavior.

    Anyway, it's a 3 day weekend coming up so I know things will get better. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest--I feel like crying some more.

    Can I pinpoint what?
    Nope.

    Do I feel that way every day?
    Nope.

    But today is good.
    I wanna spread some of it around!

    Well..I had a boring but pretty good day.Didn't get anything done but hey..I'm retired!..

    While I was on the computer a while ago I heard someone talking away at my door. I thought it was kids wanting to do chores or something. As I got to the front door I saw my neighbor lady walking away towards her house...(We've only talked 3 or 4 times in 20 years)

    I went outside to ask her what she wanted and (Listen to this)..She wanted to know if I was being invaded by the "Wood Spiders"?It seems they were nesting in her house!

    Well to tell you the history..a few weeks ago they carried her out on a stretcher..she is probably 80 years old and I hadn't seen her since..I thought she died. I asked another neighbor what happened and he said she was seeing faces coming out of the walls so they took her to the hospital for observation.

    Well apparently she's out!

    She did have a caretaker staying with her but I think she was alone today..no one came looking for her.

    Anyway..she goes on and on about the invasion and said she was going to get some bug spray but she wouldn't be able to see them to kill theml! (Bad eyesight)

    I told her I had some she could use..so I got it for her and showed her how NOT to spray it in her eyes.(Now I feel like she is spraying all over in the air and will die from the fumes! )

    She again asked me if they were nesting in my house yet..I said NO!..I told her that the best way to handle them was to ignore them and they would leave...Then she said she was going to call the police but she had changed her mind.I told her that wasn't too good an Idea..she said all right..

    OK..I'm getting a little worried here..But she left happy with my answers...

    Now I am afraid to go check on her as she really doesn't know me.(I don't want to frighten her).but I keep looking over there to see if anyone else is there.

    I think she is all alone. The only other relative she has is a sister and they moved away some time back..I occasionally see a truck over there but I don't know who it is..but you can bet the next time I see someone over ther I WILL introduce myself. Sounds like she needs a friend just like I do! Imaginary or not...

    OK..did you forget your worries yet?

    Snoozy..who's moods swing like a pendulum..but remembers tomorrow is always a different day! We are only human..so don't expect outstanding performances out of yourselves all the time! Just remember to do the best with what you got when you can and "Screw the rest!"

    ps..Mamacat..

    My Daughter in law had the diabetes thing with her 2nd child..she was feeling lousy .(She is a tiny thing..only 5 ft and weighed about 110 ehen she delivered..) But things worked out just fine..hang in there..and see the Dr so they can clear up any problems..Then enjoy..The Baby..

    Well........you asked how my day was......
