Dreamerzjust got back home from one of them arguing family situations. The argument was about me again. I'm apparantly a selfish ass who destroys the whole families happiness because I suffer from depression. Was told to pull myself together AGAIN and just get on with enjoying life. They reckon that 10 years is long enough and I should stop seeing my Psychiatrist who is putting weird psychobabble ideas into my head and is deliberately trying to alienate me from my family.
I left pretty soon after that and was already composing my last will and testament on the way home in my car!!!
Then I got home and my furry doggy babies told me they loved me and did not want to miss me!! They both gave me a big hug and a cuddle and cheered me up like thet always do (their experts at this... much better than any therapist!!) and then told me to tell your cat GRRRRRR, GRRRRRRR WOof, WoOf and to thank both you and your cat for your post. I think life with just me and my doggies with no-one else to upset the psychological apple-cart sounds like great advice!
From a now slightly more chilled out bluedog
my warmest thankyou and regardsPs. Did you really spend the whole day on your own? Just you and your cat....purrrrr with no other obligations?

Yep..--I have 2 close platonic friends--who are there if needed or if they need me. I like being isolated.
I've broke almost free from the family--It was needed to begin to get well .
Some families think they're helping by nagging/arguing or maybe they blame themselves if the children are depressed--don't understand how to react and don't say the right things...
Enjoy the rest of the day.
kissy kiss.

> kissy kiss.Your right, the worst thing they say is "we've failed as parents", or my brother will tell me that "I'm making my parents unhappy"
When I tell them that it's not their fault and that thet are responsible for their own happiness they tell me I've been brainwashed by my psychiatrist and that they can't be happy unless I'm no longer suffering from depression.
As for my social anxiety they deny such a condition even exists and insist that I am very charming around everyone at social functions. Thet can't believe that I have to fight off the constant urge to scream and run away and go home where I can find peace and be myself with just my doggies for company. They also have not seen me around members of the opposite sex that I find attractive which I'm sure is something extremely comical to watch from a purely objective point of view.
Funny thing is that my closest friend is an extremely attractive and intelligent female (she used to be a model in New York, Paris and Milan before quitting and going to law school at university which is where where I met her) but we had a special and close (platonic) relationship from the first moment we met and I still discuss everything with her and she never judges ne. I've always connected better with females (except those that I'm attracted to) which is very weird considering my social phobia.
Maybe it's because I'm not a beer swilling, football loving, arrogant male that I can't find a romantic partner of my dreams? (yes I did read your previous post of dreaming as an outlet!!!) Maybe it's because I'm just god damned ugly?
Please tell me if I'm freaking you out and I will stop with all this nonsense immediately!!!
I passed on your kissy kiss to my dogs and they really enjoyed it. It's 2.30am in the morning (the day after christmas) and I'm now signing off for the night to get some sleep.
Thankyou and double extra warm regards from
bluedog

I'm home alone with my own self. Made some phonecalls to family and friends. I didn't send out cards, so I left Merry Christmas phone messages. Way simpler. Got surprisingly nice presents in the mail, woven blanket thing, little aquamarine star pendant, junk food assortment and scented candle. Talked to aunt who just conquered huge self-propelled snow-blower all by herself, first year since husband died. Now watching extra-cheesy holiday figure skating special. Ahhhh. Possibly best Christmas ever, no kidding.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU.I'm awake again. I just freaked MYSELF out with my previous post.
I sabotaged your thread wallowing in self pity and I need to be punished now.
Hey at least I now know what the cumulative effects of a bad dose of the flu, an argument with your family, champagne, valium, valerian and some other anti-flu med that's supposed to help you sleep do to me :)))))!!!!
Oh boy paranoid excuses! The more I write the worse this is going to sound!!!!!
As you appear to hold some influence over Dr Bob could you ask him very nicely to delete any posts that have sullied your thread (on the other hand don't worry about this)
bluedog with tail between legs sucking up for approval signing off (I've learnt a lot from my dogs you know and this approach ALWAYS works with me after they've just chewed up my new shoes!!!)
warm regards
