I'd never heard of Rob Brezny before, and tried to find him, with my twitchy brain, and confused computer I couldn't. Then I notices the handy link Alii put there, and it took me right to it.
Really interesting and I am starting to think, maybe he is God, or should be.
I'm sorry you feel awful Roo, its true, no matter how many other people are lonely, doesn't stop the pathetic feeling, I guess thats why they call it "lonely"
Did you follow up with your accupuncture? I'm guessing you didn't.
If you feel like being promiscuous, emotionally,
I'd like to hear whats going on. Though I can never seem to come up with much more than.. I know how you feel.If it would feel better to "unspool" privately, you can always e-mail me.
What a stupid world.

Gabbi--sorry you haven't been feeling so hot either...glad
you're starting to feel better though (I think?).
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty shitty. Damn. I have started the
acupuncture...I had it last wednesday and I'm going to do it
weekly. The thing is, it feels pretty good at the time, but it
doesn't last. Same thing with the chinese medicine tea she has me
drink every morning...I feel a slight lift right after drinking it, but
it doesn't last. I try other stuff...like when I exercise I feel
GREAT...normal...but it doesn't last but for an hour at the most...meditation...
will help, but only for about 30 minutes or so....when the effects
of the acupuncture, tea, exercise, meditation, or talking with a friend
about a problem wear off...I'm like in this excruciating place...just crying
all the time, feeling like a total loser and failure.
My rational side of my brain says "Just give the acupuncture at least a month
before giving in and going on meds"...but the emotional part says I can't take
it another month (because it's already been 4 months of misery)...I just have never
been able to make it very long off meds, I just get too miserable, and I always wonder
"maybe if I'd just waited a little longer...it would have settled down"...and I never know
because I can never wait a litttle longer. So part of me thinks maybe I should just
grit my teeth and FORCE myself to wait longer just so I can say, once and for all, that
I know I tried something alternative for a REASONABLE amount of time, and it didn't work.Lots of other stuff...I heard you say in a previous post that you can still get upset
over relationships that ended a long time ago. That's where I am. I am STILL crying and
feeling like a loser over this past relationship where I got dumped (basically for my
depression) and it was only a 6 month relationship, and it's been over for over 3 months,
and I'm STILL crying over the dude. I don't get it. Maybe it's just because I'm not on
drugs and I'm depressed. Somehow I feel like if I were on meds, I'd be over this by now.
But I continue to judge my self worth on how this guy perceived me (basically as someone
he didn't care enough to stay with) and I still let this effect how I feel about myself. It
pisses me off and humiliates me because I'm sure he doesn't give me a second thought at this
point, I'm the one pining away. And the guy that I was in a long term relationship with (we
were engaged) is getting married in a couple of days. That really depresses me too. I feel like
a failure on so many levels: relationships, work, the ability to be happy, and sexually (the whole reason
I try and get off meds is b/c I can't stand how they effect me sexually)....Ok, I've rambled...PLEASE don't feel you need to respond...I just needed to
vent for myself.I want so bad for someone to tell me I'm okay and wonderful, but I know it's not
going to mean anything unless I can believe it about myself, and I can't seem to do
that.Maybe I should just go back on drugs...then all this wouldn't
be so damn painful.

Perhaps all your problems wouldn't seem so painful, if you instead focused your attention on Correctly addressing mailing labels.
Teh,saw that post. eons ago, related to it completely, Though in my case it was work, and the correct folding of washclothes, in the group home I worked at, and of course the weiner container "incident"
You know, I posted about you unspooling all over the page to me, before you mentioned you 'emailing your friends"
No pressure, certainly,
But feel free to e-me.
I have some crazy unleashing to do to, I can feel it stuck in my throat, literally, because I have no one to talk to about it. As its a bit lengthy,
and Frankly I'm embarassed because its regarding an Ex, who through a weird absolutely freakish set of coincidences I connected with via computer.I'd mentioned him to you. My brain knows, what and who he is, but my heart still reacts like a love struck kid. And I've been crying and crying, but of course its so illogical and I feel, immature, I can't mention it to anyone who knows him, or what I've been through with him,
because they'd say, "Haven't you gotten over that guy YET"???So (only if you want to) I'm princessdirtAT hotmail.com

Yeah, mailing labels! That's the ticket! How had I
never thought of that?And you MUST tell me about the hot dog incident...
I used to work in a group home myself...for developmentally
and physically disabled folks....Men...man, they can really get to that primal part of you, you know.
We're all just apes, looking for love.
I had a better day today...thank you lord jesus.
I think I'm still withdrawing from effexor b/c I'm still kind
of dizzy and nauseous on top of being emotionally labile...I want to hear more about the ex....I tried to email you but
it bounced back. Mine is eckle002@duke.edu
Feel free to email anytime :-)Now I'm off to VisArt to rent movies....
Take Care My Gabbi Friend, Oh strangler of bunnies and other small rodents...

Hey, lemme in here...
> And you MUST tell me about the hot dog incident...
Tell us all!
> I used to work in a group home myself...for developmentally
> and physically disabled folks....You mean PSB members? You worked for Dr. Bob? Wow... That's neat, Roo.
> Men...man, they can really get to that primal part of you, you know.
Hey! Women cause *just as much* pain and agony. I am living (sometimes only barely) proof!
> We're all just apes, looking for love.
Yeah, but some of us apes are looking for *babes*, not just any old ape, but *babes*. :-)
> I think I'm still withdrawing from effexor b/c I'm still kind
> of dizzy and nauseous on top of being emotionally labile...Wanna talk dizzy? I have been trying to get off zoloft for 6 weeks now and I feel like a freaking blonde! (Just kidding all you platinum beauties. Only a figure of speech with no intended insult or harm).
> I want to hear more about the ex....I tried to email you but
> it bounced back. Mine is eckle002@duke.edu
> Feel free to email anytime :-)Good luck Roo. Whenever I ask her to talk, she gets all tight lipped and such. Well, it's email, so I don't really know anything about her lips, but you know what i mean....
> Take Care My Gabbi Friend, Oh strangler of bunnies and other small rodents...
Ditto. And be nice to the cuddly rodents. You might scare the children.

Wow... That's neat, Roo.Yep. I work for Dr. Bob. I am his employee. I am actually
very happy and mentally stable at all times (no mood swings whatsoever),
and Dr. Bob has employed me as a spy, and a flirtation monitor.

> Hey! Women cause *just as much* pain and agony. I am living (sometimes only barely) proof!Well I mean primal part in a good way too. Think how awful life would
be without that primal part, that inner Tarzan...yuck, no thanks.>
> Yeah, but some of us apes are looking for
*babes*, not just any old ape, but *babes*. :-)Yeah, you never know who will activate your inner Tarzan...it's funny,
some people will do nothing for it, and others, you'll be like
"ROWR!!".

Man, it's tough, isn't it? I've always been on prozac and so when I
went off it in the past I never got all these side effects (because of
the long half life)...I'm amazed what a trip this damn effexor is putting
me through. It's a really good thing I have a slack ass job and I'm not in
a romantic relationship right now, or I'd be screwed.

> Good luck Roo. Whenever I ask her to talk, she

so I don't really know anything about her lips,
but you know what i mean....
Yep, I aint heard nuthin' from her yet...but I understand, I
get all tight lipped too when it looks like things might get
personal, so I don't take it personally....

No! It was funny--I burst out laughing when I read
it...now I'm trying to think of the punishment.
I think 10 lashes and bread deprivation for a week will
do for Tabby...and for Ted...hmmm...I'd say 10 lashes for him too, but
I fear he'd like it too much.And you BOTH must write, on a piece of paper, 1000 times,
"I am a Psycho Babble Slut...I am a Psycho Babble Slut...
I am a Psycho Babble Slut"And if this happens again, you will be forced to wear a T-shirt
pubicly with that saying on it.Understood? Good. Smack.
