I got up this morning at 4:45 AM like I always do and I wasn't doing that bad.
I was happy the twins turn 6 months old today. I think that lasted for five minutes before I remembered what a failure I am  Then my friend called me at 6-something AM and asked if I wanted to go play hockey with him. And I replied I hadn't gotten the hang of hockey in a wheelchair  And I wasn't feeling up to it. So then my friend replies, "Dude, Vince, is this about your nephew? Get over it already, man, and stop being a sissy and come out and play hockey with us."  Now it's 7:08 AM and I've already caved in and I feel awful. Apparently I'm just a big sissy. I think I need to add that to the list of things I am  I hate myself.  sorry to post again |

your friend obviouslay has ever lost someone close to him, i dont think your a sissy for wanting to grief your nephew
you do need to keep going with your life your nephew would of wanted that so maybe not go play hockey but what about watching, getting out of the house even for an hour might be good but tell your friend that yes it might be about your nephew but thats you not him (((((((((((((griffe)))))))))))))))) __________________  No kind action ever stops with itself.

dont allow others statements or quick summaries of your emotions and experiences to affect you so badly... they havent walked the distance you have in the same shoes as you.. grieving is a long process.. its good if we can move on quickly, like some seem to.. but you are not 'some' .. you are you.. try to hurry yourself along, thats ok maybe, but, someones' passing really is a sacred thing and you are not running from the emotion of it... take your time friend... |

Thats not really a nice thing to say - but you shouldnt take it into heart.
Do you see this friend much? Maybe he just misses you? babyg xXx __________________ ~ HEY! I run a site on mental health called The Manic Years.

Your friend has obviously never had to deal with grief or what it is like to be in a wheel chair!I happen to think you are a rather wonderful chap trying to deal with many issues all at once. Do what YOU feel you need to do for now. Allow yourself to grieve. And know that there are many people here who think muchly of you. We can't all be wrong if we are all saying you are a good person. Thinking of you (((((((((((((((( Griffe )))))))))))))))))))

OUCH!
((((((((((Vince)))))))))))))) Your friend needs a good solid kick. I'm sorry that he's being insensitive. Truthfully, you're not a sissy. People need to take time to grieve, and sometimes it takes longer than some people want - but that's the way it is. It doesn't mean you're a sissy or anything ridiculous like that. It means you have a heart, and lost someone you love very much. __________________

Sounds like your friend needs a session out behind the wood shed, but I'm only a frog of little brain. Be happy that the twins turn 6 months old today. Forget your "friend" with the sissy attitude. He obviously needs a course at "Ms.Froggy's Manner School." The hurt and sadness will be around for awhile and although we can't take it away we all care about you. Don't be so hard on yourself. I care __________________  kebs

<font color="purple"> I think that your friend had good intentions with that comment, but good intentions doesn't make it a good thing. Take your time in grieving, god knows you deserve some time to get your life straightened out after such a rocky period.
As long as at least one person in the world loves you, you are never worthless. And I love you. </font> |

again it sounds like your friends are very insensitive to your needs, nothing they do is for you its all about them
start doing for you not them (((((((((((griffe))))))))))))))) __________________ No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed.

I've only just met you but try not to beat yourself up so much. There will always be things that you can no longer do but there are a lot of new opportunities just waiting around the corner for you to discover.
Don't be so hard on yourself. ((((( griffe ))))) __________________ kebs

Hard not to be hard on myself. I hold very high standards for myself that I don't hold anyone else to, when I fail I hate myself. Been thinking like that for ages
And I always feel worthless, feel stupid, feel hated, means I am.Had a terrible night last night I want to curl up and fade away. I hate pretending to be alright IRL sometimes.But my friends are pretty much all idiots anyways and hate me. Why do I always have run-ins with such mean people

you have to learn not to be so hard on your self, yes we all hate being failures but your not a failure,
why do you have to pretend your allright irl, if your friends are idiots start mixing in diferant circles ((((((((((((griffe)))))))))))) you are a wonderfull person __________________ No kind action ever stops with itself.

You are NOT A SISSY; it does take time to heal, and you are NOT a failure you have much to give, just give yourself time to heal, you do deserve that time. Don't let people who don't understand how other cope with loss tell you how you should feel.
Here is a link of a card for you to check out and hope it makes you feel a little better. I know how you feel with loss, and I'm still coping with mine. Keep posting anytime!http://www.inspiringthots.net/movie/yesterday-tears.php __________________ Today I am going to spend more time looking for all the positive things about myself.

TY ((( everyone )))
Thanks DOWNINATTACK, I love the card. Just feeling so empty now... scared. I know I should just get rid of my friends but I'm a pushover and I let them walk all over me I don't have the guts to just not see them anymore. I'm not good at making friends, I have enough people hating me, the friends I always seem to make seem to add to that.Getting really scared and feeling really bad now
