So back to the docs again and more meds and just trying to relax. I keep thinking maybe its the area I'm in so want to back home to Australia, kick america aside for now ( I am american) but I can't or remember being this sad over in Australia. The counseling seems to help, but I also think its unearthing a lot of old feelings too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16508962045731318530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52437131873684486.post-46447293125661642352013-12-05T15:03:00.213-05:002013-12-05T15:03:00.213-05:00Well I'm not convinced that you're to blam...Well I'm not convinced that you're to blame. Hey, you know what you can do? Start a blog where you talk about your feelings so that you have complete strangers helping you fight your demons.

(I suck at this.)<br /><br />Rather than continuing the futile fight against having blame assigned to me (either by others or, more likely, by my own little self), I am henceforth embracing the blame and guilt with a dramatic, though more than a little pathetic, "I don't even care at all anymore. See? See? Look over here. I'm not caring. Have you noticed yet? I'm not caring at all. Not the tiniest bit....." Thus, I break free of the struggle. I am guilty, weak, and a big old failure, but....<br /><br />I AM FREEEEEEEEEEE! :-)Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992394058049737926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52437131873684486.post-82811936864549493672013-12-05T12:02:25.566-05:002013-12-05T12:02:25.566-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992394058049737926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52437131873684486.post-27104052913396463122013-12-04T20:30:53.206-05:002013-12-04T20:30:53.206-05:00Your going to have to present a more compelling ar...Your going to have to present a more compelling argument than that if you want to claim that much culpability!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137685337661792439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52437131873684486.post-22099293043473577552013-12-04T20:29:08.242-05:002013-12-04T20:29:08.242-05:00I had a massage today but I was in such a rush bef...I had a massage today but I was in such a rush before and afterwards that it wasn't very relaxing, unfortunately.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137685337661792439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52437131873684486.post-87034909576831023582013-12-04T20:18:59.957-05:002013-12-04T20:18:59.957-05:00Darn, I thought I posted a comment and it disappea...Darn, I thought I posted a comment and it disappeared. So, I'll try and do it again. When I get stressed, it show with a breakout of acne on my face. In fact, I noticed a big one on my chin this morning, so I guess I have been stressing over Brian's application to medical school and hoping for an acceptance. Anyway, decided, I needed to de-stress and made an appointment for a 90 minute massage on Sunday. Also, looking forward to a short visit with my good friends, Christy and Marie on Friday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734749738439171391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52437131873684486.post-48149024367459229562013-12-04T18:22:48.735-05:002013-12-04T18:22:48.735-05:00It's actually NOT okay that I still have an ea...It's actually NOT okay that I still have an ear infection, and I suspect it really is my fault. And this -- along with so many other pieces of evidence -- shows how pitifully weak I really am. Add to that that I am the biggest failure in Queens (which really does kinda say something). But I don't care anymore. <br /><br />Life can begin. Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992394058049737926noreply@blogger.com
