I want to cry, I so anxious. My myspace account was hacked and I had to change my password. It was a spammer. They got into my account and started spamming random people. I even checked my sent mail to see for sure. One person sent me a message saying I was reported. ;.; I then sent a message to myspace about this. I am so freaking scared right now that anyone can get into any one of my various accounts.

Well, it's been almost a month since that hack happened and nothing else went wrong, just a few little things that I shouldn't even worry over. Just everyday, nothing out of the ordinary stuff. But since then, even though my mind says I'm fine and there's nothing identifiably wrong with what I'm thinking now, I still feel very anxious. The anxiety had gone away after a few days and is now back after some small trigger. But I really can't explain why I feel so down. I've been resting off and on throughout my days on the bed and I'm surprised that that's not where I am now. I've never really been like that where I use lying down to cope. Maybe I need a med change, but I know that when I've gotten like this before I got over it without a change. Maybe when I see the doctor again next I'll mention that I've been like this for over a month. *sigh* I just don't know.

I turn 30 tomorrow. Not happy about it. And I'm not happy about still being single. I'm even less satisfied with my choice. Starting tomorrow or even today. No more seeking out relationships. Let them happen. Find friends and let things go from there. Dating sites? If I have profiles there, then I'll leave them there and if someone responds, we can go from there, but that's it. I will not seek anyone out for more than friends. If it happens, I'll let it. I'm going to learn to be more comfortable being single. Better to be single and enjoy it rather than be miserable and looking, right? Right. But who am I kidding, it's really going to be hard and I might just stay miserable about being single.

I'm turning 30 and women are going to be looking older and older the more time goes on. I wanted to live my young life the way I wanted, but I wasted it being miserable. F 30 and all that number stands for for me!

Just been feeling bleh lately. Since Saturday my right ear has been plugged and i can't clean it. It doesn't work. The past couple of days my head has been feeling heavy and felt tired or even sweaty. My legs were shaky yesterday for a little while. I called in sick yesterday. I went to group today, thinking i was fine, but got a bad headache part way through. I may be running low on cash for a little while, if I decide I can't work tomorrow. I probably will, anyway, though. And I can't see the doctor till monday. By then my problem will have worked itself out anyways. >.>;;; I should've called them sooner.

And today we started getting harassing messages on an e-mail group from someone and I was targeted after defending everyone. The guy obviously has no common sense, if he can't understand the logic I put before him. I e-mailed the mod. No doubt he'll get kicked eventually. The mod is always writing in the group.

I had a miserable day at work, except for one thing. Anyways, last night i put 4 new mp3s on my ipod and this morning only 1 of them would play. Which led to a snowball effect of catastrophic thinking. "What if i lose all my mp3s?" And I was on the verge of a panic attack, feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and all that. I managed off and on to pull myself out of it by saying how unlikely it is and so what if it happens. It won't be a big deal, right? Everything that went wrong during the day made me mad and it just grew. Every little thing. I even stood for a few seconds after something happened and breathed heavily to calm myself as if noone could tell what i was doing. I think I even had a slight growl one time.


Then I won $50. lol. That made my day..untill near the end where I started coughing relentlessly, because my anxiety was so high.

Anyways, I gotta put the ipod away for a little while and get back to fixing those songs when i feel better. like in a few days.

It's been a little while since I've written, so here goes. Since Saturday my Tivo hasn't been recording, so now i'm downloading the episodes I can't miss of two shows. Noein and Death Note. Come to find out that I'm getting no signal to my room. And apparently the tv in the kitchen gets no cable either. Just the one downstairs in the living room. So that has me a bit anxious, partly due to the fact that every time i've hooked up that cable to something it's sparked once. No effect to the devices, though, thank god. My alarm clock for christmas that plays my ipod started showing the wrong time 3 times in the past month, so i took that back today and got a new one, which was way cheaper. Took me awhile to figure it out, but i got it to work the way i wanted. Picked up some live action japanese film called Azumi from Walmart. Supposed to be good. Almost picked up all the old Star Wars. And of course I got picky. 10 boxes. =O As usual.

So a few weeks ago I get a ticket and monday I went to the court house and found out the amount after pleading guilty. Yes I went 45 in a 30. 145 dollars total for the ticket and I have 3 weeks from the time i receive something in the mail to pay it off. I think I can handle it, though. I just watch my speed from now on. Especially through that area.

So here's the big news. In the past few weeks I began plans and setting them into motion to move out and close to where I work. Finally a place of my own. No I don't have a gf yet, but she'll come in time. I put in the hud papers, since I'm poor and on meds. Not technically disabled anymore, but I still have to take meds to stay stable. I know this is going to be a hard thing to do, but I know I have to do it sooner or later. Mom and Dad aren't going to live forever. And the kids are supposed to outlast the parents. So I figure now or never and go with it even though I'm still stuck at a low paying and low hour job. Yes, I'll probably get food stamps, too. Don't like what i hear about people having being looked at funny and stuff when they use them, but hey, they don't know me. They judge me, then they can bite me. They don't know my situation. It's up to professionals to decided what I should and shouldn't have, not some stupid a** hater that has no training in the related areas that are needed to understand me. You a worker at a benefits office? no? then shut the ******** up. You a therapist or a doctor? no? Then shut the ******** up. I'll post more in the days to come to keep you updated. ta

I'm upset. Very upset. With myself. I tried to split the cable from my parents' house into my room and bed zap. I had plenty of warning, but it didn't stop me. So what happened? Well, my tv no longer has sound makes a lot of noise through the speakers no matter what the volume is set at. It kinda screwed up my tivo, too. I've been anxious about it all this week. It happened monday. I keep waking up feeling awful, sometimes shakey. I cried a few times that night that it happened. On top of that I'm having money problems and I haven't before. If it weren't for that ticket and the few more hours I wish, in a way, I was working, then there'd be no problem. As things stand I'm going to pay my ticket probably today or tomorrow. Next week the two small credit bills and if my college loan payment has to be late, so be it. After thinking all that through including putting the tv repair bill on my credit and paying that with my tax return, I should be fine, but aren't I?

I'm not doing well. So, yeah, I've been pretty down, depressed, anxious and all lately, but this morning and even last night while i was sleeping, i was suffering, but really there's nothing for me to be upset over really. Last night and early on into the morning I was tossing and turning and my body went from hot to cold and back again. I know that part at least with me generally being too uncomfortable to sleep happens whenever the weather changes from cold to a little warmer. Maybe this sleep problem with the weather change has got most of my depression and anxiety at it's worst.

Anyways today I haven't done much of anything but lay in bed and do nothing, though i did go to group today. I also found there that my body was going from cold to hot to cold again and was very uncomfortable. nose ran a little off and on throughout the day, mostly when i was hot. Good thing I don't go back to work till friday, which is crazy.

It's even been a fight to type this all out and the top of my body, particularly my shoulders hurt as i type. Maybe they're tense. I didn't take my meds today which doesn't help matters much, but still I think I'd be like this a bit anyway. The meds will only help so much.

Well, that's all i ahve to say about it.

Ok, lotsa stuff going on in my life right now. it's crazy. both hate it and love it.

first the sad part. i was working a little extra today at work and my dad comes up behind me when i'm at the register and is like telling me that he needed the car, so he left me the truck and this is why. he tells me that he has to go downstate a little ways where my grandfather is....Grandma isn't going to last the rest of the day. She's had Alzheimer's for a long time now, so i guess it's her time. i fought some tears at work, which wasn't all that hard. maybe i feel detached from death or i was prepared for it. Actually I think if i was at the funeral, i'd be crying. I know the last time i was at a funeral and i didn't even know the guy and at one point before we left, i could hardly see for a few seconds. Funerals do that to me, so maybe i'm not detached from death....just gotta see it to believe it somehow, i guess.

Anyways, i get a call from emperion later that day for a job interview i've been waiting a long time for, so i set it up for monday, because i know i don't work on monday and i wasn't going to go to group that day, because i already had a doctor's appointment, so basically i figured spread them apart. Problem is is that there might be that funeral that day and a viewing, so my mom's thinking i may have to move the interview, which shouldn't be a problem. i can do it tuesday and then call work and say i'm not going to be there. i'm sure they'll understand. it'll all work out somehow, i'm sure. i really don't doubt that.

In the last few weeks I've had days where it's either individual days or spans of 2, 3 or even 4 days where I've been depressed and not anxious. I was fine for the longest time up until then. And I'd feel sleepy the whole day. At work, I'm motivated just enough to work, but be totally exhausted at the end of the day even if it's just 5 hours. The doctor took me off Wellbutrin XL abruptly and then put me on a starting dose of Effexor XR. The change here is nothing at the moment except to feel sleepy without the depression on rare days. I know it hasn't had enough time for me to actually feel the effects, though. I was told by one person that it made him feel like a different person and the he wanted off. Anyways, I hope this works, but it seems strange to me to be on a medication that I get the idea has a very strong effect.

I feel the need to put this here in the Gami journal, because...well i'll explain in the end.

I had this dream that me and Winry were playing on a train that left my home town...(no there's no train in my town) and we got lost when we got out and found out that we were maybe 200 miles north. We went to find a way back and at some point she starts to sit down on the floor and takes my hand....she kisses me on the cheek and says goodbye and then i woke up.

The feeling I get in a dream when a girl kisses me or I get close to someone in a dream is unimaginable. I can't find someone in real life and when it happens in a dream, I can't stop thinking about it. My social anxiety when it comes to the opposite sex is pretty intense. Sure I can talk to someone I find attractive, now, but only professionally, like at work as in "how are you?" and "have a nice day." I may even be able to talk to one if they ask a question or two in or out of work. I can't approach them. Scares me to death. At least I've come as far as I have, but it's not enough. I want more. And I keep saying over and over that i'm 30(almost 31 come august 15th) and never having a real relationship like that. It makes me want to cry sometimes, because I want it so badly. They tell me it's fine if the person is 18, but not to me. That's too young in my mind. I won't go less then 10 years. Just seems wrong to me somehow. There's a maturity thing. Anyways, I'd love to talk this over with someone, if I could. So if anyone sees this, please message me in any way.

(I just looked through my entries and i can't believe it's been a year since the myspace problem i had. And I can plainly see how little I journal here, now. I do journal just slightly more off this guild, though.)

I had another dream the night after the last one. I've never dreamed something that was such obviously profound. I'm going to ad a couple of details to make the dream make sense, but all in all these details don't change what happened in the dream. "I'll put those details in quotes."

"I was going to college downstate and it was winter break" and I was headed home. The roads were slick and it was dark. I had a gps system installed, "which I'm going to call God." I told it I was going home and asked it which direction I should go and "God" told me straight on this one road. Ok. So I head straight on the road for a long time and then I see a broken area ahead of me, which I couldn't cross. There were two directions I could have taken. One to my right and one to my left. I asked "God" which way I should go and "God" replied "right or left." And I thought "good for nothing gps." I had to make a choice. I remember the road to the right went downhill into a darker area with many trees. So the roads are slick and if i slip I don't know what would happen, if I did slip. To my left there was a steep hill going up. This was going to be much harder to go with, since it, too, was slick. But it would take me to my destination. At least "God" was telling me either one would take me there. I decided to take the more clear path and go up the steep slick hill. I took the harder route. After hours of driving I finally make it near my destination, but there was an accident and I died. My soul floated around till I reached home. God (note no quotes this time) gave me a choice to stay and float around in sadness and stay with my family or go to heaven, where I would have to say goodbye to everyone I knew for a very long time, but receive joy. After some thought I decided to say goodbye to my family and go with God.

This dream was, I guess, a wake up call to me to take the hard road to my eventual destination. The destination I wanted. Had I not taken that choice to take the hard way home, who knows where I would have ended up. Same with life. If I don't make some hard decisions and take scary opportunities I may not end up where I want to be.

The next part made me realize that I may have to let go of some things to gain happiness. I'm going to fight to see how I'm supposed to do this, but I'll be damned, if I don't make the choice to be happy.

Someone at group brought up that one of my choices as of January was to file for hud in the other state where I work and live on my own for the first time, which I did. So one of those hard, but wanted choices I've made already.

And to anyone who reads this that can interpret dreams or knows someone that can, I'd like the meaning of the dream I posted before this interpreted for me.

We’re not all perfect, right? And I’m not perfect, right? As far as I can tell, then, we are all scum, because we all do it. We’re down right pieces of s**t. Especially me. I’m now going to freely admit that I suck. I pass judgment on stupid, ignorant, people, some are assholes, some are just dumb. They do the same to me. It’s a vicious cycle. “Judge not, lest ye be judged” as the bible says. Guess what, we all do it. We’re all going to do it. It’s a vicious cycle that can not be stopped. We can only try to stop ourselves, but in the end we’re still the scum of the earth. We’re assholes and we deserve all the s**t life can put out. I suck, you suck, we suck together. There can be a bond here. We all suck. All the things we say or do to each other will never stop. The least we can do is try, but in the end we’re still going to do it.

The more I type out my frustrations with the world the further up my spirit goes. This sounds odd and even ridiculous, but hear me out. The more I think about this, the more I’m trying to reach for some kind of truth. Comments from other people I share this with, my own cycle of thoughts on previous writings and thoughts all generate more thoughts and push me harder into finding out how to become a better person for myself. I must continue these angry and sometimes self loathing writings till I can finally climb my way to the top where I want to be. Finding out the truth is what it’s all about for me. It’s not about trashing other people in this world. It’s about me. It’s all coming from me. It’s coming from self-hatred and self-loathing. I’m really loathing myself when i judge others.

Well, I called about a job i was interviewed for last week today and they said they found the people they wanted. After that I ran to my bed and laid down for most of the afternoon. I was so disappointed. I wanted to cry for a little while. I've been rejected so many times for call center jobs that it isn't even funny and now that I can cope with those type of jobs like they're nothing, nobody wants me.

I feel like a valuable item that's been thrown in the trash, but nobody wants me, because it's touch the filthy trash.

I woke up ok this morning, except that by the time I got to work, I didn't have much time for breakfast, so i got something small. My mood then went down. I was kinda angry after this one unnamed csm gave me some attitude when i asked what register i was going to be on. She basically was telling me she was too busy to tell me and to look at the podium.....um, i did that....already....the paper wasn't there.....so i looked again, reluctantly, knowing full well that if i didn't find it, then i just wasn't going to go on register. bleh! I did actually find it, but anyway this one csm i don't like much anyway. she seems to give attitude a bit sometimes, even if all she thinks she's doing is pushing me along. Some other stupid things added to it that i don't even remember and my mood was still not good and then my register was shut down by another csm, asking me to help with carts for some reason. So, I was like "ok," and then another csm said was like nevermind the parking lot is empty and this was only a couple of minutes after i was shut down. I was a little...not angry, but bothered, i guess. It was in such a way that the only reaction inside I could get was laugh. lol. So I was pretty much ok from then on. It's just there were so many stupid things today, that that's all I could do was laugh inside.
