    What came first, the music or the misery?
    Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

    This is awful, now I can't stop crying. The thing is nothing feels wrong, I can't pinpoint it so that I can say "I feel like this because this happened". It's just sadness, regret and lost hope. This is very unlike me since I have been on antidepressants, I am usually quite optimistic. I just want to sleep away the hours until it stops. It feels like everyone is on an island away from me, I can see them but I can't reach me. It is just me here, watching everyone else and not part of the world. If it was foggy outside I would go out and sit in it, because that's how I feel, as if I am in a grey, cold place where no one can find me. Everything feels empty and the bleakness stretches on for forever. If this is repressed anger which is likely I really need to work on pushing it out into its appropriate place. This is just so miserable.

    Get some sleep, things usually seem a bit less daunting in daylight. Imagine you're in the duvet fort with all the biscuits, while snuggled under your own duvet. (and drink something;)).
    Deal with things as they are, not as they should be.
  • Hahahahaha! Ok, that made me laugh. I just had a glass of water funnily enough. Sleep is a good idea, hopefully tomorrow will be a bit brighter. I am kidnapping the thread pets for the night for comfort.

    I keep asking and asking to donate blood but they just won't take mine. :mad::mad::mad:


    Seems to me that those of us who don't work through ill health and carry extra pounds are the ideal source of blood .....if it makes us a bit woozy and we're prepared to accept that and have transport.....so be it. :o

    They won't take mine either.....the couple of times I did it before I needed a transfusion myself, had me on the floor in a faint. Didn't worry me though, someone else saved my life by donating and I wanted the chance to do something like that.

    I'm diddling along quite nicely at the moment, it's busy busy with the boys so not much time for me to sit and think about things and get down.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    If I go into the fort, can I bring carrot sticks? Off choccie and biscuits at the moment.

    Sorry you're feeling like this WaS, its a horrible feeling to have, to feel overcome and disconnected. I second solarjunkie, try and get some rest, and hopefully you'll sleep through the worst of it and feel a bit more clearer tomorrow. I have no pets but can offer you a cuddly penguin if you like?

  • Sorry to hear your feeling a bit squiffy (is that really a word) WAS, it's the fort i'm telling you :p hiding under there with all those biscuits is obviously having a negative effect on you :rotfl:.

    You should come out and play :D

    Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

    I get times like that, I call it my bubble moments.

    Take it easy and get some rest as the others have said xx

    I was soooooooo tired yesterday. I fell asleep really early, about 9, I think. Have been feeling very tired last couple of days, probably due to being in the swing of things again and back to exercising!

    Stay away from the duvet fort :naughty:
    I'm sure people have disappeared after going in :rotfl:

    Noooooooooo! They're in that lovely, warm, snuggled-in state, where you're beautifully comfortable and don't want to move or talk, just comf! :beer:

    Perhaps your body has a cortisol overload and crying is one way to get rid of it. So let it all out. There are sound physiological reasons for crying, even when there's no obvious emotional reason.
    Maybe we'll all boohoo in sync, like babies do; when one starts, it sets them all off! Let's have a group boohoo, Team! (But don't get the duvet wet!)
