Hi everyone,
First off I will be cross posting this to other groups so in case you come across it again and just to give fair warning.
I am having serious difficulties - maybe to some other people they aren't so serious or they are considered minute and can take second or third place - but to me they are very much real and very much serious enough that they cause me a great deal of pain.
For example, right now I am in the midst of a bad relationship hang up...hang up is the best way to describe it because while I finally once again got to my feet and was walking away - BAM - this young man I was walking away from somehow (it could've been through my LiveJournal which I mostly keep public, as I don't have much to hide) just knew that I was doing better and came crawling back to me after basically not wanting to have anything to do with me. So, he hurt me, I suffered a lot, got better, just got up on my feet and brushing myself off, when he comes around and hurts me again. This last time though I gave him a good reaming though - nothing too bad, like constant cursing, just a good deal of not letting my guard down...though it was slipping because I am a stupid idiot for loving him. (Please be aware that at this time I would love to curse my brains out.)
This is a serious matter to me. I am very much depressed, sad, angry, vengeful, want justice, and tired and sick of being used and abused. Yet, one, I don't tell many people what is going on, except here in these groups and/or online or offline friends - and I don't have many of them. And further more I am the kind of person who needs to talk and rehash something over and over and over and over again - I do not know why...it's how I am. Maybe that's another problem of mine.
It just seems though that when I have a problem such as this and I am ready to talk, once again life gets in the way again and someone else has something major going on in their life. Now, I've heard the saying "Life doesn't stop" and similar expressions, but for the life of me and for my sanity, give me a break! The last time something like this happened, when I went back to one of my programs a girl was suicidal (I don't think so, but hope that's not a breach of confidentiality - I didn't mention names or places, so it shouldn't be, I don't think.) I had something going on too that I needed or thought I needed to talk about and wanted to talk about - but didn't get time to because this other girl needed help first.
She deserved it, I agree...she was feeling suicidal. And she had to see the doctor and be taken care of. It's just when I feel that way - just because I don't spill tears a lot anymore, or let out all of my feelings (because rarely do I, I'm always retaining something) - it seems no one understands or believes me or gives a darn about what I am going through - they just take it as a routine, everyday thing that they can all handle on their own, and more so, I can handle without problem.
I just said something in that last paragraph that I realize signals a problem - I do not release everything, I don't tell everyone the entire story, so I guess - and I hate to admit this - I do not tell the entire truth, and in so, how can anyone totally and truthfully help me. I'm embarrassed to cry in front of people - I've done it in the past, and I still got picked on or I still got ignored. Either way, it never produced the love and care that I was looking for. Am I an attention seeker - again I hate to admit it, but yes. I never got the love and attention from people that I wanted and/or needed. Everyone wanted me to be quiet. Seen but not heard, and as the joke goes "preferrably not seen." :( Granted I could talk one's ears off at that young age. And I feel stupid crying, I feel embarrassed, low and weak. And then I don't like getting angry either in front of people, because I feel people will look at me as if I'm evil and cruel, which people have thought that about me when I gotten angry. For example, they thought I was "rehashing things" from years ago (which may be true, but those were abusive things that happened to me, but of course, no one needs to understand where I am coming from, I just have to understand where everyone else is coming from or face the consequences of more verbal, emotional and probably even physical, if it got that far or some of these people were close enough to me, abuse) or that I was just bashing what they believed in without good cause. They also wished to know "the whole story" so they could "make their own judgements," which in truth is a fine thing, except the "whole truth" demands me releasing personal information that already got around the block more than once and is still spreading like wildfire, so - no I won't devulge that information anymore. Not to anyone like the people I speak of here - not unless I can truly trust them...and I do with very little any more. And then I've lastly always been one that was very slow with my feelings, and very unpredictable, I could do well sometimes with keeping feelings hidden and locked up tight inside, but sooner or later they would burst forth, or I would have a horrible and quick temper, that would all of a sudden after a wrong perceived, burst out right at the second or a few seconds after the wrong was committed...I'm highly complex that way. Another thing many people don't seem to wish to take the time or effort to understand.
So...
I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. I don't know how to release all this festering anger and hatred (and I hate to say hate) and anger and sadness and loneliness and intolerance and misery. I don't know how to keep myself calm and cool after a healthy release of such feelings stated above (that I've always been taught were nothing but negative and bad and that I am a bad person if I feel any of them.) I want to be a good, loving, soft, gentle, sweet, strong, persevering, considerate, timely, wise, giving, generous, obtainable, trustworthy, beautiful person...and I feel I am nothing but the opposite...all because I feel I've been used and abused and hunted and hurt too much...and I just don't know how to move beyond it.
If anyone can help, please I am willing to listen, but I will say that yes, as I write this I am in a foul mood - as once again it was pointed out to me that while I'm a caring person, I'm always seeking the spotlight...and yes, while that is true, and much of my anger is directed towards myself for being imperfect, and then towards the people who never have a care it seems to point that out to me, I do seek the spotlight...for I feel I've been in the shadows and behind the scenes too long with life. Never getting the credit or the respect and dues that I deserve! I always put my self on the line for others - out of friendship, love and duty ... but I just feel rarely do I get a heart felt thank you and love and friendship in return.
Thank you for listening.
I'm using my age old signature here and sign off, but please be aware that right now - while I want everyone to be well and with love and care and health and prosperity - I'm very sour in saying this due to just the bitterness of what I was fed this morning.
Take care, be well, much love... Sincerely...
