Broken bones heal if you set them right life's a rollercoaster keep your arms inside.

I haven't done a proper update for ages, I was thinking about this in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, and I decided that although I love this journal and reading and thinking, I use it for communities mostly, and of course reading individual friends posts, I don't feel like I have anything I want to contribute to it personally. All my ( Read more... )

I don't think there are any rules on what is appropriate to post on here - my friends list is full of all kinds of topics, some mundane, some deep, some very personal... Just write whatever you feel like writing. & even if you might not feel your experience is that unique, it is - because everyone's is. I like reading about other people's lives because of just that: they're not my own. My life is pretty trite and routine too but I write here because I enjoy it, & it makes me feel connected with people - I figure if they don't want to read it they can just scroll past!

P.S. Letter is on its way!

Thank you for the help honey, I will try and write more, I'm just not sure what about exactly, but I need to try a bit harder to be a part of it all. I do much more commenting on other people these days. I don't really have anything like proper opinions or ideas and not liking conflict I can't deal with disagreement with them if I put them out there.
I read your post and I'm sorry about your bad luck and upcoming visit! At least she comes around, unlike some people I could mention that only live 10 minutes away... even if it makes things harder rather than easier, sympathy there!
I am looking forward to my letter, maybe Monday or Tuesday I reckon, yey. I am currently up to date with my letters so should be able to get straight back to you really.
Loads of love and hugs xxx

I can relate so much, feeling like there is nothing special about me that I can share that someone else hasn't already experienced on a larger scale. Like what do I have to offer ( ... )

misshelenc November 30 2014, 23:23:34 UTC

It's a shame you feel this way, really, in my eyes you are a brilliant, intelligent person, I wish you could feel it too because I would literally read your shopping list, I love your writing that much. You certainly have ample love to give and plenty of thoughts and ideas worth sharing, in my opinion. I will continue to at least try to update though and remember your advice as I hate myself for having to dig into my skull to find any words worth saying at all. I have less problems writing letters though, I think typing might stunt me a bit.
I came close to crying reading your comment, you are so kind. I would love a silent2long hug and certainly make sure you felt warm and safe in my hug back. Be strong and also well done on your thanksgiving meal, it looked truly divine! It's a good job I wasn't invited I would have ate everyone's portion haha.
Loads of love, hope Monday is kind to you and you are too. xxxx

Silent2long! It's been so long since I last saw you I worry about you girl! Xx hope your well

Thanks bluedragonfly95! I am doing ok. Struggling with some depression and stress with a new job. I finally finished school and graduated, landed a medical coding job, passed my RHIT certification and should be thrilled I have gotten everything I worked for. But you know the old ED always plagues me. And anxiety that I am not doing a good enough job at my new position. I have had so little time to write on LJ. Life has been crazy busy and I am still getting used to working full time (plus my daily morning gym routine which takes almost two hours and then mental health group and other stuff). I miss all my friends on LJ! How are you doing? Good to hear from you!

I thought I'd give you a shout out as I remember you! I've been here for 2-3yrs now? It nice to see a familiar face around this place xx

misshelenc December 1 2014, 22:53:33 UTC

Hi honey, I know you too, nice to see you and a treat to have someone new post on my journal, I mostly get ignored haha! I have had an account here for ages but don't use it much these days beyond reading, I'm aiming to try harder to write more though. Thank you for popping by and saying hello, it's nice. I hope you're continuing the fight and feel good today. I'm excited by the idea of you and a beautiful boy, it could be just what you need to have a new focus so long as he's a good one. I'm glad you have positive future plans too, fight for them and life will be wonderful. xxxx

bluedragonfly95 December 2 2014, 02:30:10 UTC

I try to make everyone feel included. I'm guilty of being more a reader and poster when in dire straights. Your more then welcome. I hope he's a good one I've only ever had ones that lead me on make me feel good then year me down. Xx

misshelenc December 4 2014, 23:00:56 UTC

Well I for one appreciate feeling included, I find things very difficult and communication is not my strong point. I'm really happy for you that you have some positivity this week, long may it continue. Stay strong and I hope you know I'm here for you if you need any advice or support any time, ever. xxx

Hey you should just post whatever and whenever!!! its no worries

misshelenc December 1 2014, 22:49:24 UTC

Thank you honey I really try and batter down my anxieties but they just keep eating me. I wish the voices would shut up and let me post like a normal person! I hope you're okay and feeling Christmassy xxxx

everythingshiny December 2 2014, 22:17:39 UTC

you can get there :)

its christmas!!!! and things are going ok so can't complain

paraffin_chic December 4 2014, 01:52:14 UTC

I haven't left here. Well, I did for a bit but not intentionally - just somehow not had the time although I couldn't say what I've been doing. I lost your letter halfway through writing it because my house is such chaos but I found it earlier today so I'll finish it tomorrow and get it in the post. Hope you've been doing ok lovely xx

misshelenc December 4 2014, 23:25:26 UTC

So good to have contact with you again sweetie, I've missed you every day. And I was so happy to read your post too, hearing you so positive and focused made me more than happy. I will properly inform you on the details via letter but things here are much the same, busy preparing for xmas, madly buying gifts and generally cleaning and doing the school run and being really busy. Tired out!
Loads of love always xxxx
