I am upset and darn sad these past days.
I can't shout or scream,my neighbors will surely report me to the authorities.
Or,some might think i am crazy and might call the mental hospital (ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Talking with friends online somehow gives me relief.
Mylotting is best best to express my emotion...but i can read all my responses too serious (not the usual Jaiho hahhhhhh)
Okay...breath...inhale-exhale it can help.
But hey..wait.. my son told me that car needs some changed oil already.
So,i checked the car's baby book (eh?..baby book ?) uh uh...no.
The car's record book for mileage hmp!!!
DANGGG!!!...let's do it i told my son.
I am reading the manual and will asks a friend later for guidance.
Yes...i am serious..i will changed oil my car...and i am determined to do that!
It's still insured so what if i can make some damaged...at least i am not damaging someone eh...aha.
What unusual thing you have tried my dear friends?
Have you tried doing thing that seems dangerous,exciting or thrilling?
And how does it feel...is it successful or discouraging?
Would you like to do it again?
It's MONDAY...it's a week?
HUGS TO EVERYONE
Jaiho- want's to try something different

hi jaiho,
Before mylot i just drink 2 or 4 bottles of vodka then i will be fine
But since mylot is here why should i do that
Sometimes i just play with my dog wrestle her (scoobe) now it's Yuro
But if i really pissed off and i need to release my anger i punch my rooms wall many times until my hands get numb
Sometimes Lioness just don't roar she also need to scratch .
Why don't you go to a date it's an effected one i do that many times

@ mel,
don't worry,bhaby can handle herself..
she don't drink till she drop
or her dad will drop her from the 3rd floor of their apartment..

they will think it's just one of their trucks unloading some scraps in their shops

Hi di
I am taking a break for a few days... for my medical checkups...
You too have a reason... why not take that break and visit some far away distant place with you and family? Also, LK plans to have a MyLot Conference... maybe you can chip in some your time there and who knows, it might just re-freshen up things for you.
Anyways, for me, it quite happens almost everyday - and I cannot go out to freshen up too.. learned to sleep more when I feel upset, sulk more when I feel unhappy - but then there is MyLot and my small set of friends to cheer me up as always

dear sids,
Don't worry,your Di will be fine.
Just mending some broken pieces...i wish i can mend.
The conference actually is one of my suggestion,and i am asking LK to have done right next month since i am changing job.
So,i wish to have the conference done..or else i will be having trouble like the first time we had our 1st conference we never get too much time due to my work schedule.
So,i really want to make up this time...i want a whole day affair and not just hours.
It's better to be held in a house or a place where we enjoy and don't worry if we are over staying in a restaurant like the first conference.
And...i really need some break...
i hope you understand your Di my brother.
I always pray for your good health ..take care,we haven't met in person...

Hi Jai!
We all get gloomy on certain days and we feel depressed. Everyday cannot be Sunday, therefore, there are bound to be some days in our life, which may not bring cheers as we may like to have. It would be better to de-stress yourself by talking to someone either on line or off line and by diverting your mind. You need to keep yourself busy and if your car requires maintenance, you should take it to the Doctor (I mean car Doctor). I don't try unusual things normally, however, if anyone is with me, I may indulge in something unusual.

i'm sorry you are upset. somehow i feel that you are also frustrated over something. what's bothering you? what saddened you?
yeah not the usual jaiho. however... let's see...
cheering up oneself differs and depends on interests and what makes you smile. for me, i usually go out with my sister or a friend. i don't like crowds when i'm upset or sad but i always like the company of kids. my nephews and nieces are a joy even to a grieving heart. i would like to see a comedy movie, just so i would have reason to smile or laugh. i would like to eat my fave food, because getting some satisfaction from it would definitely leave a smile or two.
i definitely would want some hugs. and some quiet time to mull things over. then usually after a long bath and lots of rest, i'll be back to being alright.
i'm not sure if i have done anything dangerous or exciting or thrilling when i'm upset or sad. except maybe to travel without a definite plan for a weekend. only when i need to go away for a while and take a long long walk to empty my thoughts. it's not even exciting or thrilling hehehe just a bit dangerous when one who is not himself/herself travels alone.
yes mylot can be therapeutic and so is a listening friend.
if you need to try something different and dangerous, let a friend or a family be with you. don't go do it alone.
hope things get better for you soon.

hi, if u really feel sad and feel that u cant express it loudly ,Just sit calmly in front of your very belived god or ur loveable person., or something which u like the most and start telling all ur problems and tell why ur sad.when u cry in front of it all ur pain goes away after some time.You will feel better, then sleep so that ur mind gets rest.Be silent for some days you will come out of this, then u be among the people you will forget the time of ur sadness.

Hello Sis Jaiho
maybe you can use you're car and RAM it into one of you're Exe's House, that would have been something. then do the fast and furious thing of running away from the authoritieswhile doing that you got a sleeping beauty mask where they can't identify you. well, just for a stress relieved.
I think it is they who are Damaging you because they didn't consider what you think when they were saying something sensitive or important to you. what ever it is bothering you, i am sure you can get over it. we all experience this, and you have seen that in me as well.

Hi sweetie.
You get days like that.
I get them a lot lately and just force myself to relax and be calm.
Or i'll just go to bed with a book.
I don't like people around me when i'm in these moods.
It can really explode as i get irritated real fast.
PS: It's easy to change the oil on a car, just make sure you start it up for at least a minute.
Hot oil burn the crap out of you.
And don't touch the sump with your hands.
Use gloves.
Use a big bucket, that will fit snugly underneath the car so you won't make a oily mess where your car is parked.
Nice day.

Welcome to my world as well. It might not have seemed that Bad for me yesterday but today is definately one of those days. You want to Scream, run away, hide, and wish everything would disappear. But in reality you know it cannot. So you come online to talk with others hoping for a chance to relax and be able to deal with things a little more. Yes, myLot is a great place for this for sure, and hope things are getting better for you today.

I don't know if this will help...but I try to get away from the situation that saddens me and try to keep myself occupied with other things. Physical work or mental work is the best. BUt sometimes I feel that I can't concentrate on the mental work if I'm upset. I like to read...so I also find that reading some good fiction or something that uplifts my spirits helps.
Hope you can find something that will make you feel better.
How about a cold shower??? :)

I don't KNOW what to do anymore. We are so terribly broke it is depressing. My daughter is going to college in the fall. We have an RESP (registered education savings) but they won't give us the money until August. Huh? They want money NOW. We have already made two $250 deposits with money we don't have. Someone did a hit and run on my husband's car while it was parked and we had to dish out the $300 deductible. His license needs to be renewed by May 7th (his birthday). What to get him for his birthday? Uh, how 'bout nothing. Got my daughter graduating from high school too. Yesterday we withdrew money from our retirement savings accounts for the second time this year. We're not even half way through the year yet. Hubby's bank account is always in overdraft and our line of credit is always close to its $30,000 limit. We keep getting notices from the freakin' government who keep reviewing our tax returns and keep changing their minds from wanting more money from us to giving us money. It's aggravating. I feel like we're being gouged every which way we turn. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.
I am a member of a writing group which, because of some issues that occurred, developed an executive and put the group guidelines in writing. For some reason this has caused a major backlash and I am the one being attacked. I don't know why. I'm just the secretary. The email told people to send suggestions or concerns to the Founding Member of the group. She didn't receive ANY emails. They directed all their anger at me.
I have fibromyalgia and am in pain and tired all the time. I'm not sleeping well. I am in peri-menopausal stage so I can't lose weight even though I excercise for an hour 3-4 days a week (which increases my fatigue and pain). I can't contribute financially. My 18yo is being belligerent and mouthy and I just can't take life anymore.
What have I tried to do? I just want to be left alone. I wish I had someone I could really talk to. I talked a little to my mother but I don't want her giving me money. That just causes issues within the family and I sure as heck don't need anymore problems with them. Yeah, I just want to hide. Hawaii would be nice.

I also had 2 sons and both are highschool and i am a single parent with no financial support from my cheating husband (ugh!)
Better have a vacation then..i also wish to have one this summer but work schedule won't allow me.
And this too much heart causing me rashes and headache too
Mylot is my shock absorber,i always vent out what i am feeling here and share to other mylotters.
i hope you find this site helpful too.

I would just remain upset and find a place to sop. Mostly I would bury my face in my pillow. I used to be able to confide to a friend but sometimes, it is not so appropriate even to confide to myself as I cannot even trust myself. I takes a while but time heals. I just let it be.

hello mandylee,
Once in my life i did it in silence,because i also think no one can understand.
But it didn't help me.
I go out from my shell and show the world i am fine.
I wear masks of smiles and laughters...i make friends,met friends from online.
And i never regretted...mosts of my bestfriends are from online friends.
And they never leave me till now.
Time is a great healer indeed...but we need to help ourselves too.
Why not try to go out also...and find yourself,i am sure you can easily cope up.
have a great day and welcome to mylot
