I'm bored with my life..

Freakyygirl 32, I wish you all the luck in the world. *hug* I know things will turn out ok. It is easy to get bogged down and sad when things are hectic and everyone clamouring and demanding your attention. Pulled emotionally and by responsibility in a thousand different directions with lits of things to do a mile long and so little time to do them in. Take care of yourself. Be nice to yourself. :)

Thank you Ruby for sharing with us and yogibare for his wise thoughts, and to all the others with good kind wishes to freakygirl32.

Life can be hard and having people who listen to you and genuinely care is such a blessing.

My best friend was having a really bad day once and she said that she was looking out her kitchen window (while we were talking) and said that there were beautiful flowers growing in her garden ( she loves her garden very much) and that she was so angry and pissed off that she wanted to go out and chop their heads off. Well damnit that's exactly what she did! She said she felt a little better and was able to laugh.
I wrote her this poem a few weeks later and she keeps it in her small drawer to take out and read in moments of stress.




Flower Therapy

By Debbie


Here I am in my packet
Waiting for you to see
Up here in the cabinet
Reach for me, reach for me!

Peel my wrapper from me
Slowly, slowly, oh…so slow
Now you see me as I be
Oooh do that thing you do!

Place me in your warm palm
I have yearned for your touch
Oh, I cannot remain calm
Tenderly touch me much

You take me between the tips
Of your elegant long fingers
But they compare not to your lips
Oh I have the warm shudders

You place me in a dark, moist place
Oh cruel fate not to be close to you
The last thing I see is your lovely face
Love of mine, what do you do?

I feel an urge now to change and grow
To spread roots to be nearer to you
Somehow we will meet again, I know
To have you close is what I want to do

I head towards the light
Stretching up to the sky
What a sunny, glorious sight
I grow and grow, grow high

Was today to be my lucky day?
Would I espy my love, my beauty?
I count how I love you in every way
I see you! I see you my lovely!

I waver and lean closer to you
You come towards me, nearer
Hold me, hold me close, oh do
You hold me nearer and dearer

You are my love, ever such a beauty
I have bloomed and grown only for you
Do it to me! Do it to me, do it, do it, do
PLUCK ME PLUCK ME PLUCK EM
ooooooohhh…I am now in flower ecstasy
That is what you longed for -FLOWER THERAPY

My husband and I are seriously thinking of moving out. The way it stands right now, i am living in my mom's house. The original idea was.. she was going to let me buy the house from her. But because of her income she relies on the state for aid. If she sells her home, she will lose that aid (she bitches about my husband getting "free" money from the VA for being disabled in Desert Storm but yet she will accept the state aid, when she has money stashed away that they don't know about).

I think maybe getting out on our own is something that we need to do. I think if I wasn't here, she would have to rely on herself to do things. I'm sure it will piss her off, but I can't go on the way i am. It's not healthy, i know this. And from looking at me, you can tell i'm not healthy.

April Wine *hugs* Thanks.. i love the flowers.. i miss my garden!

fucking Washington weather :mad:
 
I think moving out might be a wise idea. A hard one but perhaps things will be better if you are both not living under the same roof as your mum.
It is all still hard stuff to decide, whats best? How will things work out? But remember you and your family are important too. Some advice i always give my frineds? If you are constantly stressed and you get sick who will take care of you let alone every body else? You are the backbone, take care of yourself as you are VERY important
:)
 
FG,

Move. I know it's never that simple, especially in your situation. However, you would be better off by it and it seems you know it too.

I did it when I was younger and not in a place to need my parent's support so much. It was the best thing I ever did.

My brother didn't do it. He's still there. Not living with them physically, but he might as well be with all of the battles he is constantly embroiled in with them.

Like I said before, it's not easy. It took a tremendous amount of work on my part to get to this place, and still, I find myself sometimes weakened by their will.

Creating boundaries if you have parents that constantly strain at them is so fucking hard. But I'll tell you this, if you conquer that, you will have good boundaries with anybody for life.
