That's what I've been saying to myself. I just cried for ten minutes straight because the brand new nose ring I bought was made crappy and got bent out of shape within two days.
It's not the end of the world but I sure acted like it. I ranted and cried and became overwhelmingly frustrated. I canceled on my boyfriend who I haven't seen in a few days because I didn't think I'd be able to hold my composure.
OVER A NOSE RING.
Sometimes it astounds me how easily distraught I am.
Now I just feel embarrassed and down on myself. I wish I wasn't a stupid emotional wreck.

Keep things in perspective. Don't lose sight of the important things. After all a nose ring is a sign of vanity. Is vanity very important to you?

Love and relationships should be the core focus for you and anyone who really wants to "live". Know that another piece of jewelry may come along again and that you are who you are not what you wear.

Hope that helps. After all I at times hate myself for buying junk I don't need and always I need to remind myself of WHO I AM and not I AM WHAT I OWN. I need to be critical of what I buy and what it used for, It's hard to do but being tough on yourself in decisions means not being tough on yourself with regret.

Unfortunately vanity is very important to me because I absolutely hate myself and think I am disgusting. I try anything to make me love who I am, but I don't. I'm glad you can, but I don't think it's easy for most borderlines.

it sounds like you're going through one of "those' stretches, i went through one last week, it started raining, i started thinking about my ex then i fell apart and it was all downhill from there for about 4 days, maybe the dog pissing on the couch set you off?? might not be a bad idea to call your bf so maybe he can console you a bit, whenever i talk to my ex (even though we are not together anymore, thanks to me of course) i always seem to feel a little bit better, it's just something we go through, it sucks but it will pass. it always does (never soon enough for me, though )

((Hugz)) I've felt the same way many a time! Remember we are extremely emotionally sensitive so something that would just be an annoyance to someone else can overwhelm us. This is when we need our distress tolerance skills! Treat yourself to another nose ring and a big mug of hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows!

Thank you, darling . I went with my best friend the other day and bought three new nose rings I love..

and a new maxi skirt..and a sweater and a beanie and new sunglasses.
but that's it I promise! I wholly believe in retail therapy

[Verity81]

Oh yes retail therapy is definitely an effective therapy for me! Hope your new nose rings are more robust than the last one!

Glad you got replacements. Hope they work out better. And enjoy the rest of what you bought. Glad retail therapy works for you. It does for me too.
