I'm not exactly sure why this thread is different, why y'all let me be the one to make a second thread, but I do appreciate it

. This thread is my baby, the first How Are You Doing marks the first thread of mine that made it long enough to be closed

.

Anyway, you know how it goes. Post in here if you're happy, sad, angry, mediocre...just...how are you doing?

The first thread was made over 2 years ago when I was friends with a guy named Ben. It saw me through that whole friendship. It saw me through my move to college, making tons of new friends and having a great time, I've probably got at least one drunk post in there, it saw me through a bad relationship and an eating disorder, and the glory I shined in as I left both behind.

I will stop babbling and now dedicate the second chapter to Matt, Celeste, and Carole who've seen me through it all, since the beginning of that thread and before, and continue to be my friends now.

22,059 posts	turned 24 yesterday (its after midnight here so i feel ok saying that) the day itself was awesome, i love my family even in the big noisy crowded get togethers but now i jjust feel kinda bummed, i'm looking at the reality of my life these days and it scares me to death, 24, unemployed, no real prospects, no real skills or marketable traits, a wedding to pay for, a future to plan, and it seems like i have nothing to show for it, i wish i had a more iron resolve, the type of dogged determination that makes people put their nose to the grindstone and really go for something, i really don't know what to do, i feel like garbage my self image has gone to hell I'm not looking for a sympathetic ear or for people to tell me how to fix something, i know how to fiix it, i just lack the necessary tools to do so. i just need a place to vent to i don't stress my prone to breakdowns fiance or trouble my down on their luck family, or my strong willed "get your act together" type of friends i guess i didnt see myself here at 24, i dont know if anyone ever does

I think that if it is helpful for her to express her feelings on here, she should be able to do so. It isn't like she's hurting anyone or going out of her way cough to deliberately piss other people off.

3,875 posts	I'm pretty good... Trying to work a little harder with school. Found a place where you can buy a ton of notes and practice exams for tests, so I'm gonna do that. Told my ex girlfriend she's still too clingy and needs to get off my shit. Gonna start doing my ex f*ck buddy again this week... was going to Saturday but i was too hammered and there was clothes and shit all over my bed. Biggest problem i have with this is that neither girl im banging makes me wear a rubber cause they're on the pill. I pull out, but im still scared as shit to get an STD and give an STD to one of them from the other. But i also hate wearing rubbers and only have a few times. I wish STDs just didn't exist

3,497 posts	Last week I drunkenly saw my ex at a club and apparently went up to him, prodded him in the chest and started shouting at him "why are you such a twat???!?!". I do have vague recollections of seeing him and calling him a twat, however in my head I was doing so in a calm and dignified manner, making a well reasoned & rational point. When my best friends then came over to try and drag me away and save me from myself, I apparently shoved them both violently away and hit one of them in the neck. I also spent alot of the rest of the night going up to most people I know and saying "I feel so upset!" The definiton of embarrassing drunk mess, truly. And I still have to see him every week in seminars, urgh. Actually in general I'm such a mess whenever I drink nowadays, I'm not really sure why/what's changed. Met a new boy though, hmm... I don't think I like him enough really and he likes me more than I like him and I'm being such a bitch when I lead him on (again, alcohol involved, see) - I think maybe I should just avoid him, before anymore damage is done. I feel ridiculously sick and hungover now anywya, but the house is starting to look nice at least

3,497 posts	Saw him again last night, he started again with the "I miss you" routine, with added "I really care about you, I never meant to hurt you." Urgh. I then told him the whole "I'm not going to be your second choice, it's an insult" thing, he told me I was always his first choice - yeahh clearly - that he'd only been with her cos she seemed more willing to commit. What bullshit, firstly he's hardly big on commitment himself, and secondly he blatently rejected me in favour of her and it's only cos she got sick of his crap so he's trying his luck with me again. I sort of stormed off saying "it's an insult! it's an insult!" He then took some random girl home with him, knowing that I could see him doing so, cos he lives up the same fcking street as me. standard, what a way to make your point. I then sent him some abusive texts, which I'm sort of regretting now a.) cos they are very drunken and b.) cos I don't want him knowing he got to me. Why the hell would I want him back anyway, so he could cheat on me repeatedly, make me some insecure mess? No thanks. The thing is that once upon a time I would've done almost anything to be with him again, and when my friends were telling me what a wanker he was then I was sure I knew better and that he was a good guy really, and he fcking blew it. I'm not letting him get me back, just no no no.

12,289 posts	Really really bad. It's one of these moments when I realize how much being in the army sucks. My grandma passed away a few days ago, and I was really close to her, she practically raised me during my childhood and I really loved her. And there's this Jewish tradition that's called "Shiva", you have to sit and mourn over the dead person for seven days. There's a stupid rule in the army that for grandparents' death you only get 3 days off to be at home (god knows why, because you're supposed to sit 7 days), and I begged my commander and my commander's commander to let me off for the whole 7 days, and they simply won't let me. My mum talked to my commander's commander's commander (yup, really high in the army), and they're saying they're trying their best, but I just don't believe them. And the most annoying part is that I know that if I wasn't in the most made-up unit in the army, "the education unit", all was a lot easier. And my grandma just died and I have to be on the phone with the army all the time instead of mourning, and it's so frustrating. It's a disgrace, really. Screw them.

13,217 posts	I suppose I kind of knew what the decision would be before they told me. Knowing didn't make me any less disappointed, or personally embarrassed. There have been a lot of hardships and tragedies in a lot of peoples' lives around me, and for some there have been some really great and wonderful things that happened (and I am very excited for those people). I guess I am just waiting for my turn to have something good and exciting happen so that I can share it with my friends and family. It's dumb I guess, I feel a little left out. There were some potential good things, but none of them worked out, and it is starting to make me feel discouraged. I feel like this whole year I've completely missed the train/memo/meaning/interpretation/point for/of a lot things, I don't know why, and it's frustrating me. I really shouldn't complain though. I may be just getting by, but, I am alive, I am healthy, I am not living on the street, I have clean water, food to eat, I have friends & family, I own my car, I have a place to live and I don't pay rent, I don't live in a war zone, and I have a job at least, even if it is only part time. Still, as a human and emotional being, I feel at a loss in some areas. blah blah blah blah blah.

3,497 posts	a week without seeing him and I feel like I am going insane. most irrational. I was so, so hoping he'd be there last night. and I know he doesn't treat me how I deserve to be treated, that there are so, so many reasons we don't work - but I can't help it. if I could ever be honest I know I would always choose him. but shh, I can't let on to anyone that I still feel like this - least of all him. it's all on the downlow. and I can't go back to him, I do know that. i'm at the stage now where there is no reason whatsoever for me to be like this. and however much I miss him, I am cutting him out. eventually I will stop feeling like this, infatuation, I know that. but what... 9 months now and it hasn't changed, and the waiting game is painful. and this is not how I am. I need a bacon sandwich but don't think I have time to make one. Going to visit one of my best friend's from home for her birthday this weekend, and I am not excited. I'd rather just stay here, everything here beats everything from back home - and I feel guilty and shit for saying/feeling like that... but I'm even regretting agreeing to go.

13,217 posts	I think I am nearly over my feeling sorry for myself stage from the most recent event let-down. I think the main reason I am having trouble letting go of it, is because the aspiration is basically in front of my face dangling itself 3-4 days/nights a week, and all I can do is exist in its presence knowing I can't be a part of it. It really sucks, but things could be worse. I did somehow, find enough courage to go inquire for more information about the decision. It took pretty much all of the confidence I had left to ask, but at least I know now. I have until February to decide if I am willing to go through this all again with a different approach, a reconstructed confidence level, and, hoping for a more desirable result but also knowing I could revisit the current result. At this point, I honestly feel defeated and like the part of me I put out there was betrayed and ripped away. I am hoping that by February I will feel up to the challenge of redeeming myself and trying again. What's the point of a dream if you aren't willing to fight for it, right?

21,747 posts	I wish I knew why he wasn't talking to me. I wish he would just answer one of my texts even if it was just to say, "I hate you. Leave me alone." Something. It's not like we just met either. We do have history. Over a years worth. & I hate the whole girls are confusing. Guys are just as much as we are.

21,747 posts	Pretty annoyed I have to work on halloween again. Had to last year too. I've worked there for four years & halloween is pretty much the only holiday that I ask for off & I still can't get it off. Pretty much the lamest thing ever.
