Am I Really Here? Do I Exist?

It's my own fault, I know it. For whatever reason I've not been taking my meds. I have 'em... I just can't bring myself to swallow the ten bloody horsepills - and that's just in the morning. At night, it's another four. And now, I'm reaping the consequences. I'm over-emotional. I tend to cry at the slightest thing and everything frustrates me.

Tonight I burst into tears because my elder son is having dinner with my grandkids (and no, I wasn't invited, and I'm old school enough not to show up and expect to be welcome), and my younger son preferred to order in freaking Papa John's pizza instead of coming to share a meal with me. I feel about this big.

It's getting so that I have no feeling of self-worth any more. I do nothing but sit at the computer all day, and if it weren't for a couple of sweetie pies on different continents and one on this one, I could exist in a void. It's like... if I wasn't in a medical emergency situation, I wouldn't exist in my own family. healing was good for me, personally, but it distanced everyone again.

I just want to feel wanted, you know? Even needed by someone. And I don't feel it. Not in the slightest. I guess I should take the fucking anti-depressants again... ya think? Even my writing isn't making me happy these days.. which I guess doesn't matter. It's not like anyone is reading it, after all.


I need some contact here, you guys. Please stop in and say hello, or share something uplifting. Make me see there's still good in the damned world? Let me know you can see me?

Please?

Are you me? I could've written something very similar to this today. And many days.

So I'm stopping in to say hello. *hugs*

There are definitely times when it sucks to be in the world, and today was my day, it seems.

Thanks for taking a moment to keep me from looking out on the ledge, Sigrid, and hugs to you too, for all the crap out there.

*big hugs* Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It's a miserable feeling.

Here, have some fluffy animals. It helps.

Thanks for commenting, love. Some of those fuzzies had me asking what the frilly heck was that? All cute, though, and yes, they helped a bit. Always been a sucker for the cute.

And extra hugs for you, too, for whenever you need 'em.

It's good to be seen, hon. It's been a while since I've been sure about that.

Squishes you back!

Thanks for taking the time to offer support, hon. It helps... a lot. Of course, if you really do want to read me, it's all in my memories. I'd love to know what you think.

*hugs you back*

I'm always here in spirit even if there's not much communication. You were my very first online friend and the one who dragged me into this wonderful world of LJ. Though I may be quiet, I am still listening and will be here anytime for you. Sending you so much love and virtual hugs you'd be smothered if you could feel them!

Oh, T... it's soooo, sooo good to hear from you. I do miss the actual communicating, but it's nice to know you're still out there, somewhere, and remembering me.

*hugs you back so tightly*

I think a good pity party every now and then gives you an opportunity to let go of all the negativity and sadness. The trick is not letting it rule your life. But please, please, take care of yourself dear. If you had seizures you'd take your anti-seizure meds, right?

*hugs*

*hugs you, too* Thankfully, seizures aren't one of my problems, and I really should get back on track with the meds. I'll try, at least.

Thank you so much for caring, hon.

OMG, you made me cry! But this time, it was happy tears. Thank you so much for the link. It's a relief to know there's goodness out there in the world.

Thanks for caring!

Change a couple of circumstances and I could've written this. I feel for you, truly and I wish I could do something besides tell you I understand how you feel 100%. Most days I feel the only thing keeping me around are a couple of lovely little felines who need me. All I can do, today at least, is commiserate. *hugs*

My goodness, long time no see. Thanks so much for dropping in, hon. And yes, without my kitties, I'd have bitten it a long time ago. I'd say they keep me sane, but I'll change that to less crazy.

They do say misery loves company, but that should read appreciates the company. And I do - so, so much. **hugs**

YES. Take your meds. Take them right now. If you want to try something else, or try stepping off, talk to your doctor. But please go, right now, and take whatever dose you're supposed to be taking. Okay? Okay.

It sucks to have to rely on medicine to feel good, but if you had a heart condition or an infection, you wouldn't think of *not* taking the meds, right? So please take them.

And we're here, bb. Just step up and vent, rant, scream, wave, whatever you need to do. We're listening.

*hugs*

Sweet Tab, thanks so much for stopping by the nuthouse. I will get back to my meds. I really need to. I feel like an emotional wreck. Once the tears start, they just don't want to stop.

**hugs you tightly**

I'm so sorry to hear about all the problems you're experiencing right now, but as you can see above there's lost of folks (including my good self) that have experienced similar things during our time.

I do hope matters improve for you real soon love, I really do. *hugs*

Thanks, Sue. Yeah, I always read everyone's grief, and hesitated to post my own nonsense, but it just hurt so bad this evening. It;s an odd sort of comfort to be one of a 'club'.

I really appreciate the well wishes, Sue. **hugs you tightly**

I will personally come over there and kick you in the butt - or shins! - if you don't get yourself back on your meds, my dearest A! They won't make anything different except for the way you can handle it. Folks can be thoughtless shites at times.

*hugs you from here to eternity and back*
