Life right now is making it easier and easier to make a possible decision that's not that easy to consider.

Little Bird from Sesame Street sounds eerily like Ellen DeGeneres.

I went into work this morning and the manager criticized the lack of work I got done on the second day I came in this week when I wasn't scheduled. And I didn't care, I just don't care anymore. Work started to stress me out so bad today that I almost walked out or worse. I just really want this push, I don't want to put up with anything anymore. I know it's only a matter of time, I've been contemplating it a lot lately, more than I ever have.

I just feel like for now I'm squeezing any amount of enjoyment I can get out of life. I do enjoy time with people and going out doing things when I do, but it's never enough anymore. Everything feels like a distraction for the inevitable. People might disagree since I am writing this in the open, but I'm not looking for help or sympathy. Writing gives me something to do, it will give those who need it some kind of perspective.

Part of me really doesn't want to his the reply button. But I've been holding a lot of thoughts back lately, especially people I've been talking to because they conveniently go quiet when I talk about my problems. Though there are ones that reach out but never really know what to say, but I don't think if they did it would really help at this point anyway.

Just so there's a name to these words, my name is Brian.

Alot of times..the best thing you can do is to say something out loud and have someone else say nothing....

I rarely tell anyone except my husband what is bothering me because I know that no one is really going to give a shit...and they might like me just fine or want to help me...but I know they can't. Alot of times...people just don't know what to say...or know how to gauge a response that would be helpful....

When AIDS first came around...the people who were obviously sick and/or dying were ignored and became invisible to most of the people around them because IMO when they faced them..they had to face themselves...

They might otherwise at arm's length sing kumbaya or donate money or "care" ...

if police were treating gay people the way they treat ethnic minorities LGBT america would storm the white house like zombies, homos would be climbing the walls breaking windows knockin shit down and demanding answers from lawmakers. it's hard for me to defend my gay brothers and sisters when they purposely turn a blind eye to some of the most abhorrent behavior that harkens back to jim crow days, CHILDREN being chased by police held at gunpoint, fathers being shot in front of their families, and as long as it isn't happening in your backyards and to your friends you go on sipping your lattes and reading op-eds about the new pair of shoes kim kartrashian bought. i think i'm gonna vomit.

Today was perfectly OK for me.

But YESTERDAY...I woke up after a short sleep and thought, "If I go to ShopRite today, I will die." (if you didn't guess, that was my work assignment)

So I rolled over and went back to sleep.

I'm still alive, clearly. I think I chose well.

Obviously you are right in your anger and personally I can offer no solutions. Might I ask though, what are you doing about it? What in fact is anyone doing apart from rioting after the event?

Calling state and local representatives about individuals, laws and bills. I like to leave an individual message for each bill, myself, though Toomey the Ass had tried to cleverly hide his office number from his 'about me' info; I found it anyway. These days he keeps it at the very bottom of his page. There's also protests, political discussion groups, groups related to particular jobs-in-question and how they may impact a community in positive or negative ways- creating liaisons are a start. Doing the footwork for getting signatures, explain to the general populace how something works and why, ask other people's suggestions on issues. Or ya can go to law school while joining a meetup group for extreme polishing of the abrasive personality when dealing with 'Politics & Bullshit Language Issues.

see lucky's post, not just cuz i'm lazy but she pretty much hit the nail on the head. i encourage people to get involved in the 2018 elections and familiarize themselves with their elected lawmakers and prosecutors which are just as complicit because they're the ones who choose whether or not to charge these police officers with murder. i've been politically active since i was 18, mostly with LGBT issues but i'm also branching out into other things such as this.

it's addictive, one of my first volunteer jobs was visiting my (then) governor's office in SC on behalf of the human rights campaign to speak about the repeal of the defense of marriage act and don't ask don't tell. a lot of people genuinely believe or use as an excuse the complexities of our political system and in a lot of ways that's true but i was surprised at how easy it was to schedule a visit with my governor's staff and speak with them about these issues. since then i always try to make sure i contact my lawmakers either in favor of pro-lgbt laws or against discriminatory laws. it does make a difference.

God save me from stupid people and their faulty attempts at clarity by repeating themselves after it was explained that their 4 word description covers multiple piercing types.

My not exactly partner let me start taking his Prozac yesterday and it seems to be working. My mood seems to be from feeling decent-really good. Though some times I feel like there is something crawling in the back of my mind trying to reach the surface.

I'm glad it makes me feel better but I don't like that I need to take something to make me feel better. I guess I see for myself that it's some kind of failure. Most likely nonsense thought though.

Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. It might be time to sit down with someone to talk through what you feel is bothering you in the back of your mind that wants to come to the forefront.

FUCK...I don't know how long my rope is but I am afraid I might have nothing left of maybe just an inch or so before I blow...

My husband finally blew his fuse a couple years ago and I spent alot of time and energy reeling him back in..the problem is I am alot scarier than he is when I blow....and he can't reel me in with any guarantee of success...

The problem...we have three friends with SEVERE OCD. One lost his job due to it..as a college professor and has no effect on us...another I just hold my breathe and hope I can work my way out of whatever "situation" happens and I have to repeat the same assurances 100 times...but the third one...UGH....I am getting really pissed off now. He keeps pushing it...like telling me how to write now because I need to make the circle in my cursive "e"s wider....and I am fucking furious that he pushes his bullshit on me without any clue. He nitpicks and cusses about everything...he has gotten me in trouble with his need to challenge everything and everyone on everything over the years and I had to try to explain the nature of OCD. Funny thing..as much as he criticizes EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE...he cannot handle ANY real or perceived criticism himself which is odd as fuck to me...as much as he dishes out that he can't take it???????????

So..for years and years I have excused him and reminded myself he can't help it..he has severe OCD...but it keeps getting worse...and my patience is running out finally. Everyone else complains about him and I wont' join in..which is why I am doing it here. Hopefully my steam has lost a bit of pressure now...

After my episode I had a awhile back, now that my head is clear; I have no idea what I should do. For the first time in a long time I have no idea what I am going to do. Yet, I feel this weird happiness of not knowing. If I stop now, I lose. So I guess I will keep moving forward and see what comes. Wow, I don't think my head has ever been this clear. ....
