URRRRGH VALIDATE MY FRAGILE PSYCHE EVERYONE FEED MY NARCISSISTIC BEHAVIOUR

Eris · « **Reply #851 on:** 23 May 2011, 03:35 »

have you tried talking to someone closer than the uni counsellors? There was a time when I felt like I should talk to someone and had that same feelings of embarrassment and failure that it seems you are, and talking to a friend was much less scary than talking to the actual psychological dude. I went and saw a guy a few times but each time I felt stupid and hated the whole process so I would put off going and seeing him again until I just stopped. A friend might make you feel more comfortable.

Or you can go into more detail about the situation here, and we can try and help?

Tom · « **Reply #852 on:** 23 May 2011, 03:49 »

I'm actually not close to/with anyone who I'd feel comfortable talking to about anything other than casual conversation. I'm not going to talk to any family members because they share almost everything and I know from personal experience that I will only further depress the hell out of mum who will feel like she's failed even further because the one son who she constantly says is the best most helpful and understanding (her words, like constantly) is somehow defective and not at all what she wants or hoped for. This is the woman who said that "she was not calling me a deviant" for looking at gay porn, yea you can imagine.

I mean why use up these services if there are people with genuine problems who need help. I haven't tried killing myself or anything,

The services are there for you - problems can be real even if they don't involve killing yourself! Although making that first approach can be really, really hard, you may well find that simply having made the first step will help a bit.

nekowafer · « **Reply #856 on:** 23 May 2011, 04:21 »

You can always talk to a random person here, one that you know is a good listener. There seem to be plenty of nice people willing to listen to you, if you can just get it out there. It's not an easy thing at all - it's admitting "defeat", admitting that you're not self-sufficient. But that's the thing; no one is entirely self-sufficient. There's nothing wrong with you. You're having problems, sure, but everyone does at some point in their lives.

There are also suicide hotlines. Even if you're not truly considering it, those people are really wonderful to talk to, and can help a lot. Services like that and the one at your uni are there for people like you. You won't be taking anything away from anyone else by making use of them, you'll be helping yourself and the people around you by getting yourself to a better place emotionally.

Flights are being cancelled in Glasgow because of the ash cloud, and Edinburgh Airport just had a part of it's roof blown off because of the wind. Seriously.

I read that as "fights are being cancelled".

Fights are never cancelled in Glasgow!

I heard one was postponed once, but that was because half the participants wanted to get another round in first.

Isn't it such a coincidence that dusty ash comes from the north as soon as Manchester City take the FA Cup back to their trophy cabinet.

He's got a point, we're talking 35 years of dust.

Jens got to Glasgow just in time then, he's here now! I doubt he'll ever be able to leave though.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #865 on:** 24 May 2011, 01:56 »

All flights here in Scotland have pretty much been cancelled but Ryanair is fighting the decision tooth and nail. Earlier today (it's only 10 o'clock) they said that things should be clear by this afternoon, but just now they said that the ashcloud will be extra thick this afternoon/evening. Parts of me are telling me to go to Newcastle and fly from there this evening as opposed to waiting to see what happens tomorrow.

Metope · « **Reply #866 on:** 24 May 2011, 04:22 »

Yeah, I'd say go for it, it's looking kinda bleak. Oh no, I'll be stuck with Jens!

I'm back from Vermont, where I spent the week with my girlfriend! It was fun. Her mother took me clothes shopping and we looked at apartments. Then we had a Nutella milkshake! And we went to Borders, where I started talking to a purple-haired chick with Legend of Zelda tattoos, whereupon she in/abducted me into her lesbian Mormon cult. Then we were thrown out 'cause her ferrets got out of her purse and caused all sorts of shenanigans! I picked one up. It licked my nose.

Also I'm planning on getting a tattoo later this week. I have a birthmark in the shape of a Scottish terrier on the back of my left leg. I'm going to give it an eye.

Zing, I have two questions:

1. How come your life is so exciting?
2. Why would you ruin a perfectly good milkshake by putting Nutella in it?

Zingoleb has a stash of highly illegal alcohol.

It's FourLoko, mixed up with a bit of the essence of Ryan and Roddy's partying lifestyles.

Your FACE. Shut your FACE. I like Nutella.

Though in a milkshake it was wayyyyy better than just straight Nutella.

May, no, a Nutella milkshake sounds yummy. You can keep your boring milkshakes, we'll keep the fun and delicious ones.

You'll be ok! You can eat lots of cold stuff! Think of all the ice cream and sherbet and sorbet and gelato just waiting for you!

There's a distinct possibility that I'm going to put on some extra weight over the winter holidays because I've perfected a crepes recipe and there is nothing more delicious than crepes rolled up with nutella inside. It is the best thing. THE BEST THING.

Don't be freaking out. I had my tonsil's removed 9 years ago after getting horrible strep throat 3-4 times a year. After the surgery I was on an all ice cream and yogurt diet for a few days and have had only minor sore throats since then. I wish I had it done sooner.

Today started out horribly because I was tired and having a bad day, and even though I'd been told to come in at 11 to do something for two hours (meaning that I had nothing to do from when I arrived at 8.15 with my mum until 11, and then nothing from 1 until 5.15 when we go home) they had actually done it by the time I got there so I needn't have gone in at all. But then my stepdad came and picked me up and on the way home I got a phone call asking me to go for a job interview tomorrow, and I've got an email about going in to arrange volunteering at a local hospice, so I finally have other things to do than hang round the hospital!

Still feeling ugh though.

Rene is a beautiful name, did you say once that you were going to go by that name? Leslie I don't like as much but I think that is because I haven't massively warmed to all the Leslies that I've met, rather than anything against the name.

Does it feel odd to have taken a totally new name? Or is it kind of not a huge deal after all the other changes?

Typical. It's been raining all day and now the sun has come out and I'm too tired to appreciate it.

Renée is the feminine form: Names. My daughter's middle name is Renée.

It's kinda relieving. Then again, every other person I meet calls me something different, so I'm used to it by now (Leslie, Rene, Ashley, Unicorn...Unicorn is the most common name people have for me). As for Leslie, well, it matches up to what my standards were, which is a name that's well known as androgynous without being super common. I could've been a Sam or Alex, but...I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Rene almost fit that - I suppose were I in France it would work better. Over here, people just assume it to be a feminine name, I suppose.

Awesome.
