well
Posted On: 09/23/2008 03:50:01

today was going pretty good. i mean, strict schedule aside, it was a nice day.

went to my counselor....i'm so close to being over this sa. still got bit of work to do phone call wise, but ah, i was feeling happy, you know? 

then i came home, had dinner w/the family and all that. well, we started eating dessert(pumpkin pie ice cream, yum! lol reminded me of that starbucks pumpkin spice drink) and somehow the conversation went from classic cars to how we kids might turn out like in 10 years. yeah....

my mom and her boyfriend(should probably call him stepdad already) were having fun, saying that jerry and brian were probably gonna have the most kids, philip will have one, and i'll most likely have a girl and a boy. but then, after that was said, my bro jerry went and said, "sorry winifred(yeah, they get a kick out of callin me that lol), but i don't think you're gonna have any kids in 10 years." and then philip laughed and said "yeah, i'd be surprised if you're even married. i mean, you MIGHT get a boyfriend by then."

i just felt so down after that. i mean, the worst part is they were being more than halfway serious because i've heard some of this stuff before....idk, it's just my day was going great, and i was feeling better about everything then ahhhh....

it's kinda hard to stay positive when you hear stuff like that....and my mom and her boyfriend didn't even say anything. i know just because they said this doesn't mean it's true or anything, but still....i wonder if they even realize what their words do

ok, i need to forget about this. i think i'm gonna go blare beatles on the record player. even though i'm supposed to keep music down after 10 according to my parents' wonderful schedule. ah, who cares LOL they can just listen to "i am the walrus". :D

hope everyone's day/afternoon/night is going well.....buenos noches hehe

The S.A. does get better with time, but it takes a lot of practice. So don't give up! Just try to remember that your personality traits are the end result of the last 18 years of your life, (the culmination of all of your biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual experiences), so restructuring the manner in which your brain perceives, interprets, and responds to the external world takes time. Is your counselor teaching you any cognitive restructuring techniques or relaxation techniques? If so keep practicing the techniques because they will facilitate permanent changes in your brain's neurochemistry (a process called neuroplasticity).


This is your life and you are the one writing the script so make it into a comedy or whatever else you want...the possibilities are endless.


 


Sincerely,


The Egg-man

Sounds great that you're feeling so good about your SA! Unfortunately, there always seems to be kill joys around in life. It's just something that you have to learn to ignore. That and the people closest to us are usually the ones that hurt us the most.

I'm thinking they don't mean their words and that it's all in jest. Sometimes with people you know, a familiar joke that is usually all fun and games at the wrong time can completely ruin things.

Good to hear you made it through the day though! Cheer up and try to remain positive!

P.S. Oh yeah, and the Beatles plus records = Need to buy some more records myself
