What if the important things I really want out of life just aren't meant for me? I feel like I keep travelling down the same hopeless path, searching for the same (seemingly mundane) things, constantly feeling like I'm running out of time. My parents anniversary is coming up. I congratulated my father and told him he was lucky...I didn't think I'd ever have one of my own to celebrate. He grinned like he knew something...some prophecy...and said "Sure you will." I don't know the trick to successful relationships. I lie. I do, but I can't make myself practice what I preach, and that hurts. If communication is such a big deal, then why the hell can't I achieve it? Oh, I know. Believe me. That question was virtually rhetorical. My mother. Every time I'd open my mouth to tell the truth or have a real, honest-to-goodness opinion I'd get shot down, smacked, punched, etc. Eventually I just stopped saying anything altogether. It scared the shit out of me. So why on earth should I deign to communicate with any future partners I might have? I feel like if I don't have someone to hold onto, either figuratively or literally, then I'm drowning. Oh I know how to be single and make it work, but I don't know how to feel okay about it. My biggest secret is my self destructive behavior. No, you can't see it on my arms or legs, and you can't read about it in any police reports. It's worse than that. But what choice do I have? I am the most undesirable person I know, so I do what I do to feel differently. If you're thinking you know what it is (and we all know what you're probably thinking), you'd be wrong.

So many secrets, so much self hate, so much depression, so many suicidal wishes.

This post is the work of a very thoughtful and sensitive person, very smart, who has a good heart and a sense of what is important in life. Those things are all priceless. That means you are priceless.
I know I start to sound like a broken record but I'll say it anyway: Your purpose in life is your own happiness.
That may not tell you how to get where you want to go, but perhaps it can help clear away some of the confusion, self doubt, and self-hatred. Regarding the latter, it is incongruous in a person with a good heart and a sense of what is important in life! Stop that! Never mind hugs from me and others here - give yourself a hug!
(OK, take the hugs offered here, but give yourself one first!)

So many willing to care...here's the choice you have...you can let us care. It might not help every day, but some days it will. And every day it helps will make it easier for it to help the next time. At least I hope it will...

Abs, at this point when he starts that shit, I just smack him across the ass. I give you permission to do the same. I'll even let you leave fingerprints.

You have gone much too far. I am bound by an implied agreement to silence, but I don't have to applaud you for what you've done. Ewwwww.

If it were anyone else, that might concern me. With you, I know that it's taken in and then given out with more love and care than it had on the inbound path. :rose:

If I may speak in [probably offensive] archetypes, you're like the Old World version of the woman in "Rollin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms". ;)

Awwww, shucks *giggles blushes and gets all tongue tied*


However, I'm not sure what archetype you mean, as I know not what "Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms" is *L*

It's a traditional bluegrass song.
Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail comes back
And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

I ain't gonna work on the railroad
I ain't gonna work on the farm
Lay down the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Now where were you last Friday night
While I was lying in jail
Walking the streets with another man
Wouldn't even go my bail

I know you parents don't like me
They drove me away from your door
If I had my life to live over
I'd never go there any more

Actually, that doesn't do you justice - it just sprang to mind because you're the sort of woman who makes a man feel like a man, even if he doesn't think he measures up in the broader scheme of things - at least, at the moment. ;)

That's really important, I think.

:rose: I get this on such a deep level -- not physically, but emotionally. It bites. I fight communication issues to this day.

{{{HUGS}}}, SIMA. I wish I knew how to help. I am encouraged because you seem to have such a great understanding of yourself. I didn't achieve that until I was much older.

Ahhhhhh, I get it now :)

I know words won't help much, but I sort of understand. Let those feelings go. Look at them, examine them, evaluate them, and then dismiss them. Your existence is valid, you're a caring and important person, and the things that make you think you're not aren't your sole definition. They're things that happened, and they're unfortunate, but they aren't the total you.

You don't have to justify your existence to anyone. You're here, and that's good, by definition. You've located a significant cause of some problems - that's great! Learn to recognize it when it rears its ugly head - look at it, and tell it you see what it does, and you're going to do something different this time.

I wish I was better at this - you're not alone, and you're not hopeless!
