Where do you go for support & encouragement?
I can tell you where NOT to go .... especially today.
How do you ask for help in a way without asking for help? Seems I don't know the answer to that question.
I was ready to walk out on my job today .... I can't afford to do that, I have 2 kids, a dog, a house and a flipping car payment ... I got plenty of advice as to how to get fired, did I get any encouragment that things would get better ...
Oh, but there can be the whining and bitching on there about how someone didn't like the way someone else lost weight, or how much pain your in or your mad at your aunt in tim buck two or whatever and they fuckin come out of the woodwork to tell them how there's a silver lining or things will get better or the aunt in tim buck two is nuts ...
maybe I worded it wrong, maybe they thought it was a joke .... I wasn't joking ... I needed them and they let me down ... I needed the encouragement I'm always dishing out and got it from only two.
Thanks for checkin on me tonight .... you know who you are .... I appreciated that more than you know.
I'm just a miserable mess .... maybe a good nights sleep will help .... who knows
Jeannie ---- if you are reading --- I'm glad that everything is going well with Jordan in school, I'm sorry I talked your ear off tonight .... I'm glad that Lauren didn't have to do the heart cath today, I know she still will, but I'm glad it could be put off, at least for now ..... ((((HUGS TO YOU))))

I know exactly how you feel. When I wrote that I could be pregnant with the IUD, I was scared shitless that I would have a tubal pregnancy or a miscarriage. I did some encouragement, but I did get a ton of jokes that seemed anything but funny at the time. :S
I can see how it happens, but at the time I was like.."HELLO! IT'S SERIOUS!"
You know I really didn't mean to make this about me lol. What I really wanted to say is that I listened to you and knew you were sad, and reached out BECAUSE of you. You showed me how great that feels. You showed me how much it means to have someone care enough to ask if you are ok.
I dont do it often enough for others honestly. It's hard not to get wrapped up in your own life at times.
Not only do I love you because you are you, I love you because you have helped me learn how to be a better friend.
I mean that! You are a terrific friend and a terrific person.
I'm really sorry you had a bad day, but remember, you are special because you care about so many, and not everyone can be as special as you. ;)
I'm sorry work sucks. I've been in your position, you feel stuck. I really don't have the great advice to offer you, I hope things get better and I'm sorry that the people you rely on weren't there for you.
Hey---sorry I wasn't on earlier in the day to offer some support!!! And you didn't talk my ear off--I love talking to you!!! I'm so proud of Austin (plz tell him that) Big hugs!!! by the way I'm logged out of blogger and can't remember my password ;)
I'm sorry I wasn't around fast enough to reply babe...
((hugs))
I do hope things look up for you and it all straightens out for you.
