bygirl: Beautiful! Love it!
mytake: I really should be writing more often. It’s funny, ever since I got rid of my Anxiety, I stopped writing. There’s a side to me that’s funny, sociable, fun-loving, carefree etc. and I have my sensitive, caring and deep thinking side. While suffering from Anxiety, I totally focused on my thinking, emotions etc.. Now that I’m B”H past that, I try keeping a balance. I took solace in writing, being that I felt nobody understood me then. When I’m having a hard time now, I talk to a good friend, mother…or write.
Here’s what I wrote in one of my darkest moments (Ok, I know I said I won’t get too personal, but I figured nobody knows me in here….):
ALONE
Alone
Abandoned
Forsaken
Left
Bereft
Of someone
To pat
My back
To stroke
My cheek
To embrace
To encourage
To reassure
To console
To love.
To whisper
That I’ll
Be fine.
To lend
A shoulder
To cry.
I am
All alone
I suffer
Grief
Mourn
By myself.
“observanteen-ALOT! its the whole experience of being a lefty…not something that can be explained to a righty lol….sorry….”
StuffedCabbage: Can I help you out with that? You get up in the morning, and JUMP outta bed screeching, “HEY EVERYBODY!! I’M A LEFTY!!!!!” You go to school, put up a sign on your chair, “I’m a LEFTY!!” As soon as anybody caughts sight of that, they befriend you. On your test paper, you write, “note: I’m a LEFTY.” And the result? Flat 100%!!!
Okay, okay… I guess I won’t burst your bubble just now;)
Okay, here’s something not too personal. But you’d BETTER tell me if you know me!;)
MASKS
I’ve come to see
Many a mask
Each one serves
It’s unique task
There are masks of love
Of passion and care
Masks of anger
That frighten and scare
There are masks of audacity
Of fearlessness and boldness
Masks of nonchalance
That display sheer coldness
There are masks of happiness
Of joy and glee
While a whimpering soul
Waites to be set free.
At your side a glance
I’d like to steal
The mask uncover
And the true YOU reveal.
Yayyyyyy! I waited for that one! I’m a righty and a proud one at that!:)
(BTW, what’s there to be PROUD of, duh?)
Hey, mytake: same here! But, I haven’t looked at them for a while.. Guess there are some painful memories there..:(
” ‘More potatoes?!’ Everyone will be complaining
It’s not my fault, We don’t eat gebrokts!!!”
Candy: Really?:O What AM I missing out?? (Besides taking part in this thread that is…:))
Any song by Abie. He moves me to tears.
YES! About you being silly that is:)
Ever read “Animal Farm” by George Orwell? He wrote, “All men are equal. Some are more equal than others.” That’s life!
I blush for the dumbest things! Ugh! Sooo embarrassing!
Zees: I agree with you 100%. We will never understand what a male feels like when seeing inappropiate pictures. I heard that to them it’s like they’ve starved for three days and they smell treif food.
My father’s friend complained to him that his OTD son has a bad influence on the other kids. My dad told him he should tell his son that he loves him and he’ll treat him like the rest of the kids. ON ONE CONDITION: He shouldn’t involve his siblings with his actions. He should advise them to stay away from the path he chose. (Not exactly sure if that’ll work)And he shouldn’t persuade them to come with him to do “stuff” etc..
Hatzlacha in whatever you do, and may you have lots of nachas from all of your kids!
Popa: But she might have a bad influence on the other kids. Not that I have any experience or anything… Just thinking.
Hey, I’m just a teen with very little life experience and can’t exactly give you advice on this. My apologies… But, there’s something I’d like to tell you. I’ve told you many times before but I will continue doing so. YOU ARE SUPERHUMAN!!! I cannot tell you how much I admire you. It really gives me chizuk that there’s someone out there who suffers sooo much and IS SO STRONG!!!! Thank you!!!! I hope you’ll continue being my role model for many years to come!;)
Wow. Eclipse… What else is there to say? I really am terrified. Okay, at least I’ll know to daven harder… Thanks for the inspiration!
s2021: It feels kinda weird dropping a guy cuz “you’re following your guts”. Know what I mean? What if he really IS a great guy and you just missed the boat by letting him go?
Woooolff. C’mon! (Sorry, couldn’t hold back anymore)
Zees, ROTFL!!!
Ohh. You’re getting me real scared. I mean… after all I plan on getting married one day. It’s just that I’m TERRIFIED of getting abused C”V. I’m mispalel every day that I find the right one and all, but still… How can you KNOW if underneath the nice guy you’re dating there’s a monster in hiding?
Oh, and you didn’t answer the most challenging one… How DO you cope?;)
lol! I know a woman who sprays her cleaning lady whenever she comes!!:))
eclipse: Wow. That must’ve been (is?) awful. I’m a bit surprised though. According to what you’ve said here he’s a true abuser. Didn’t they believe you? (Sorry if I sound nosy. Not intended! Don’t answer if you don’t feel like it) I must add I really admire you. You’ve been through sooo much! How on earth do you COPE??
A friend in need…:)
Shapiro – Go out and buy a jumbo tissue box for us to share:(
as a matter of fact…
Good to hear!
Once again, I’m sorry I jumped to a conclusion. You definitely didn’t ask for it. I didn’t realize what I was doing.
Oh, I WISH I’d be there to see ur cousin blush!;)
on top of each other
Hey, I haven’t tried this one
I thought with poems I’m done
But I sure am glad
That so kind a lad
kept it from going gone!
Although I love to write
I felt my poems were trite
Some courage I did muster
Maybe they still have some luster
Perhaps I do belong on this site!
Where can I get Sender Zeyv’s “Aleph Shin” and “Ten Lost”? (I have filtered internet so can’t google.)
I think going to a hotel for Pesach is like Davening beyechidus on Yom Kippur (not talking halachawise). It’s JUST NOT THE SAME!! This is not something I can describe… It’s just the atmosphere. I can’t imagine my father sitting with his white kittel at some luxurious hotel lobby and leading our seder… It just doesn’t click! I think the “geshmak” of yomtov is the “heimishkeit” and the simplicity (our seder is royal but heimish). I wouldn’t go to a hotel for Pesach even if THEY’D pay me. (Oh, I’m SURE they’re DYING to have me there;))
Heeeeelp!!!! I’m EIGHTEEN, guys. E-I-G-H-T-E-E-N!!! And there’s NOTHING on the horizon!!!:(:( Suggestions anyone??
(Sorry. I’m not making fun of you out there, just felt kinda left out!)
Refuah sheleiba!!
Hey s2021, how’re you doin’ today?? Hope ur feeling better!!
Okay, you’re not gonna like this one. Last night, I felt a teeeny bit uneasy when I jumped to a conclusion about your ex. And when Smartcookie pointed it out it kinda got me thinking. I was all confused. On the one hand I really felt like supporting you, but I wasn’t sure it was the right thing to do! After all, I haven’t a clue who you are! Anyway, I think Sac made it clear that it’s ok. I just wanted to clarify that I’ve no idea who s2021 is and I never heard the other side of the story. Nevertheless, I think it’s our duty to help our fellow coffee roomer in need. And I don’t regret what I wrote.
s2021 no personal offense! Just wanted to make it clear to the others.
Thanks for letting us know. I couldn’t stop thinking about you!! I’m really happy that you’ve overcome this challenge. Cheers!
When I’m anxious, my knees feel like they’re tied into a million knots. Oh, and the lightheadedness is totally normal while having an anxiety attack. You ok??
lol!
Aries: Esther admitted she’s done something wrong and feels bad about it. NOW WHAT??? She lost her temper but didn’t you lose it too just now?
Esther: You certainly don’t sound like a sick woman in need of therapy. Rabbi Zelig Pliskin’s book on Anger is really great.
I hereby open the gates for you…. Here you go! Ok, who’d you kill? Send em my regards!:)) BTW feeling any better??
Sure thing! I just came home from a simcha, so sorry I was a lil late. Oh, and if ur in the mood to kill… Well, there are a bunch of terrorists in Gitmo…:))
Hey s2021, observe to the rescue! OMG!!! I’m sure you’re terribly hurt. I feel for you. Really I do. Oh, I understand you a lil toooo well. (Grandmaster please DON’T ask me WHY) I think ur friend isn’t aware of his true personality. In most cases, the abuser is the sweetest guy to strangers or friends. Just keep in mind that he can’t hide from Hashem AND HE WILL PAY A HEFTY PRICE!!! Perhaps in this world but definitely in the next. Daven that he do teshuva. I find it theraputic. Keep strong!!! Hatzlacha Rabba!
Read “Every Man A Slave” by Sender Zeyv.
Okay s2021, took you up on ur offer! Here goes: It absolutely grates on my nerves when ppl defend the poor lil guy who just happens to be the guilty party. It irks me! Do they deserve our RESPECT because they’re CRUEL???? <end rant>
Gummy: ROTFL!!!! Where’d you GET ’em???
I had it too. My dentist told me that some teeth that were filled may “wake up” and it hurts for a while (a couple of weeks or so). There’s really nothing you can do about it. He advised me to take motrin. Also, it MAY be it’s because of stress. I have a habit to grind my teeth when I’m under stress. Perhaps you do the same. If so, try concentrating on your teeth when your under stress (ok I know this sounds pretty goofy, but it does help!)and tell yourself NOT to grind ur teeth!! Oh, of course try getting rid of the stress inducer if that’s possible.
Hope u feel better soon!
Oooops. Sorry then. I do believe though that SOME abusers are doing it with an evil intent. A shrink may be of help, but it’s quite unlikely for an abuser to be willing to go for help.
BTW sorry if I sound so bitter, but this is a “touchy” issue to me.
TBT: Absolutely. Lefum tzara agra. They’ll get more schar. BUT this is STILL NOT an excuse to abuse others!! I really think that by defending the abuser, you somehow paint a picture that those who DON’T abuse others IN SPITE of their challenges and difficulties, don’t even deserve to be praised!! Because the poor abuser who went through sooo much is excused!
