Too many things on my mind...but one thing is for sure. Something has to change...and I better have an answer soon or I'll throw everything to the wind.

First day back at work. Thankfully I didn't have the pain most of the day and there wasn't much to do.
I don't hate my job, I just wish it was closer and paid more. I do pray I find a better job some day though.

Actually, this is wrong. Order of operations dictates that 1÷10 be done before 9 is added to it, so the correct answer for the first equation is 9.1, not 1. :preach:

OMM: It just kind of dawned on me last night how thankful I should be that my school days are over. The awful memories that I rarely think about anymore were going through my head for some reason and got me a little upset all over again. But then I realized: Those days are over. No longer do I have to be dreadful of my weekdays surrounded by bullies who hurt me emotionally; now I spend my weekdays surrounded by friends and family who love me. I'm safe now.
My life is so much easier and better now so I shouldn't be so unhappy at times, still. Of course, there are other problems I have now that I didn't have then, but really...I'm blessed. God loves me so much no matter who I am. And I'm grateful that He guided me through those difficult times and has allowed me to be done with them.

Being in a similar situation as you, I'm glad you are much happier now. School is like Vietnam for many with mental and/or social problems. It does take time to heal from past abuse and you shouldn't feel too much shame over it. The good news is eventually your past hurts will be like a bad dream, especially when compared to the eternity God has prepared for us.

It's OK to vent sometimes, Mulitfavs. Anxiety is no fun and neither is putting up with idiots who take full advantage of your vulnerabilities. Just know that we are all here for you when you are feeling low.

Well said, and very true that God loves you and has guided you through those times and delivered you. Keep focusing on Jesus and the good things he does and gives :)

Today I had my first day of therapy. We got the basics down and I told my psychologist some of the things I wish to change about myself as recommended by you guys. The good news is that most, if not all of them, can be corrected with cognitive behavioral therapy and we are looking into it.

I'm feeling very optimistic that 2018 is the year where I become a new me. :)

Today is a pipe and whiskey kinda day.


I have brandy! I gave the whiskey I brought back from
Tenerife to my uncle....


A cigar would be far better than a pipe ;)

Not a great fan of cigars really. Cigars are similar to 'English blend' pipe tobacco and I am not a fan of that either. I like my milder tobaccos and aromatics :)

Glad to hear that! I'll definitely pray that this works well for you. :)

At the hospital I had to sign some sheets before talking to the psychologist and it asked my gender. The options were...

1) Male
2) Female
3) Other (Please Specify)

I was so tempted to choose #3 and write down "Attack Helicopter".
