Gradually Imploding

So my roof in the back part of my house is near collapse. I need to get the house cleaned and get rid of a ton of trash (bit of a hoarder I'm afraid) so I can try and sell the darn thing before it collapses and gets condemned.

Do you know I have cried because the bagger at the grocery store put the bread on the bottom under something heavy and the bread got smushed? Do you know it takes me two days and medi...

(((((((((Katrina)))))))))) (that's a hug) you have been through so much at such a young age, and the way you see the world is somewhat more realistic than most I'm afraid...disillusionment is so hard on us but there is hope. I just want to share with you a personal story. I was betrayed hurt or tram...

((((((((((Ahorse)))))))) Thank you and thank you for your supportive post. I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. I understand what it is not to be able to trust again, especially when down. Even with friendships, after facing a series of betrayals, now I keep mostly to myself. I get very lonel...

Oh, I so identify with break up woes. A book I highly recommend is "How to fall out of love" by Dr. Debra Phillips. Its not a panacea but helps a whole lot. It uses a behavior modification approach, for instance, thought stopping...you train yourself through techniques in the book to think...
