Description Happy Valentine's Day from Isolento, the Lonely Angel!

Cupid's twisted counterpart, he spreads self-pity for those alone on Valentine's Day. If you're not careful, he'll get in your head!

Hopefully it will be. I have a few friends who failed too, so I may end up in their class lol.
And I may end up with the same lab teacher, so that would be fun as well.

Aww. At least he knew that you loved him.
I've heard that when cats are about to die, they go and find a comfy place to do so. I have a friend who had an old cat that was dying, so she set up a blanket under a cabinet or something. The cat always liked going under there. She put the cat there but shortly after she noticed he wasn't there. On his deathbed he managed to get outside and layed underneath a tree. that tree bloomed for the first time after that. And has bloomed every year ever since. The cats name was similar to the tree's name too.

What!? That's so stupid. I would've done something like made them pay for the trip out there at least. Geez. Some people really shouldn't be left alone in charge of things. :/

Yeah. I try to live by that idea. But i know that I think of myself too often. Right now I have an old friend in which i've 're-united' with and i've found out that he has manic depression. He's so down all of the time that he never believes that his dreams are possible. He wants to be in a band and travel and make it his living. And he's good at the guitar. He just recently quit his band and even quit guitar because he thinks it's not possible. I just want him to be genuinly happy. He's also told me that medications don't work and that he's been to many doctors. I told him that I think part of it is in his head, while the other part is an actualy medical condition. He's got it in his head that he is manic depressive so until he gets over pitying himself, no happiness can come. He doesn't believe that though.

I'm the class will be fine. You'll probably feel more inspired, too, just to get the damn thing out of the way!

Aw, that's nice. I always hated the way cats wander off to die, too. Luckily, most of my cats who've died from old age stuck around. They always happened at time when I couldn't be around until the end, though--it made me sad, but they knew I care about them.

Yeah, it kinda sucks! She's still looking for a job, but she's hopeful. She interviewed at Yankee Candle, so we'll see!

That's too bad, but you're a good friend to encourage him. I think you're right--that decision that he's not good enough or that it's impossible can rule him if he believes it. I've known people like that, too--myself included. I'm sure he's right about the medication--not a lot of good seems to come from a lot of them, especially with depression, it seems. What he really needs is to see himself differently--not as a victim or a failure, but as a valuable person, just as important as anyone else--because it's true! We're all equally important. He's definitely got a good way to express himself, and I think he should pursue that. He'll need to get past the self-pity, too--that never helps with anything. The best way to do that is to stop focusing on yourself and think of others, and to be grateful for the things you have. Maybe you can be there to help encourage him to think more along those lines, because I'm sure he has a lot to be grateful for if he'd just stop to think abou it.

He'll be okay--after all, if I can come out of a mind-set like that, anybody can!

Yeah, I'm definately going to work harder the rest of my school career. I've learned that I have to just from doing half of my internship. I'm forgetting things that are important to remember. It'll be harder, but I'll be happier to remember rather than forget.

The only cat that we've had, since I've been born at least, that has died from old age was in our house. She peed on my parents bed and soon after she was shooed out of their room, had a seizure and died. She wasn't a very nice cat though. At the end though, she had gotten nicer. But more senile. ..

Oh Yankee Candle is a nice place. Hopefully she'll get the job. I haven't been able to get a job this summer, and i think that it's gotten too late to be able to get one. I mean, there're only 5 weeks or so before school. :/

I want to encourage him like that, and i was. He hasn't talked to me since that last little chat though. I just figured i'd give him a little space for a little while. He hated that i said that i think that his depression is partly just in his mind, and got super pissed. :/ I don't really want to apologize for what i said though because i'm not really sorry. But i don't want him to think that i meant it in a really negative way. Bah! lol.

Hey! I still exist! Sorry for the delay--been super busy on vacation, now that I'm back in NJ I'm getting caught up.

Yeah, I had trouble focusing on school for a while, too. For me I just needed to really think about what it is I wanted to get out of it. Part of it was that I was in the wrong art focus--once I switched to multimedia design and animation, I loved it and it came naturally.

That's too bad. One of my cats right now, Hobbes, is very old. He's still kickin', but he's slow and kind of weak. We raised him from a kitten! I'll be moving back to IL soon, and it's possible I may never see him again.

Well, she got a second interview, but they never got back to her after that. But it doesn't matter, because she just got a job in Chicago at the Anti-Cruelty Society! She helps with adoptions and cleaning--she loves it! She's halfway through the two-week training period right now.

Nah, I think you're right--depression really is in someone's head. I'm sure there's a legitimate reason for it, but in the end it's the result of his thinking. It's not natural for people to be depressed! But it's very good of you to support him--true friends tell the truth, whether it's what they want to hear or not!

Desopilar In reply to MurderousAutomaton [2010-09-07 21:40:07 +0000 UTC]

That's alright! Busy is good.

That makes sense. I'm already getting into a good mindset for school. And for losing weight. I have two work-out buddies. One likes to run and we're gonna do stuff like walking, and the other one has a membership to a gym that lets her bring a friend for free every time and she offered and now we're both excited. Neither of us can work-out on our own. Haha.

Awww really? Can you not bring Hobbes with you? Don't be too sad though, because Hobbes loves you and when he goes, he'll be happy from the love that you've given him.

Oh really!? I think that's something I'd like too. That's something that really can never get too bad because you're working with small animals all the time. I see people who work at Petsmart playing with the kitties in the adoption center and I'm so jealous. Well, good for her!

That's what I think. A lot has happened since I last talked to you about him too. He started going out with a friend of mine and they moved in together in an appt. with one other person in Rochester. He was/is struggling to get a job and now she broke up with him and he's going to be homeless again. I'm friends with both of them and it's hard because I understand both sides of it. I don't want to block him out of course, but I don't know what to say anymore. Being homeless in Rochester is different than our hometowm because he doesn't know anybody in Rochester. His Mom helped him out once with the appt. when there was an extra charge for him but he never really got a job afterwards. He got one, but was fired because he had a panic attack on the first day. And he got a job at Tim Horton's reccently, but when he called the manager to ask if he could take the weekend to get the uniform and then start on monday, the guy flipped out on him and told him to not even bother coming in.
From the other end though, she says all he does is mope around the house. A mutual friend of hers and mine stayed 2 days at their apt. and said in that the entire time, he never said hi to the friend once. So I don't even know what to do. >_< Haha.

That's cool! Has school started yet?

Yeah, I'm wanting to get into better shape, too. I did the whole "skinny and buff" thing before, but then I became a vain douchebag! I don't want to define myself by my looks anymore--I just want to feel healthy and happy, and not self-conscious. I guess I can feel that way no matter how I look, I just have to define myself by the right things--that's the tough part!

That's true about Hobbes--thank you! He's been so loving lately. I wonder if he knows I'm leaving soon?

Yeah, she likes her job a lot! It's really hard work, though, and she's still learning the ropes, but it's getting easier.

Man, that's too bad. It's gotta be hard--you don't want to choose between two friends. He sounds like he's still very resentful of himself--he doesn't believe in himself. Maybe if he could see that others do, he'd be able to. It sounds like he can only focus on what he's done wrong, too, which makes it hard to move forward. He's got to let go or he'll keep repeating that cycle. Something's gotta snap him out of it!

Yeah, I've been in school for a few weeks now. I've been on a few walks with my friend so it's a good steady start. Also, I'm walking to the pet store today with my friend. It's about 2 miles from where my school is, so it's not too bad.

Haha. I don't think I'll be a vain douchebag when I get skinny. I'm self-concious the way I am now, so it's kind of imparitive for me to lose weight.

At my school we have dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, and rats to use for learning. At the end of every year all of the animals are adopted out too. I saw a cat yesterday and I want him so bad lol. I forgot his name but he's soooooo loving. lol. I've never seen a cat at our school that loved so much.

That's really good to hear.

That's what I've been trying to tell him and do, but to no avail. He's back out on the streets, but at least he's back in our town and not in Rochester on the streets. It's going to start to get colder soon though. Bah!

Cool! Walking is a nice way to excercise. Very peaceful, and it gets you somewhere!

Yeah, I see what you mean. But you can accept yourself no matter what you look like! For me, it seems like feeling self-conscious is the real problem, not the weight. Sort of like the weight follows because of the way I see myself. Or whatever. Sorry, I'll quit preaching now!

Yeah, my sister's job is really rough so far--she's exhausted! But it's rewarding.

Man, that sucks. Maybe being out on his own will give him time to think. It seems like he'll have to face a lot of his personal issues before he can make any kind of real change.

Desopilar In reply to MurderousAutomaton [2010-10-10 20:05:33 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, except that I haven't been walking at all. My friend hasn't gone either, at least, she hasn't asked me to go with her. :/

For me I think it's spurned from my looks. I haven't always felt self-conscious. I didn't start feeling so until I became overweight.

I don't know, he's been out on his own for a while, and I think that's what makes him more depressed. It's annoying because no matter what I say, he's always down and stuff. I swear he likes being negative because that's just the way he's been for so long. Even though i've told him that i know he doesn't like to be negative and sad and that the only way to get rid of it is to do the opposite of what he's always done. I guess he actually has a job now, and possibly 2, so that's better so far.

Ah, well. You'll get out when you need to. I like to think that we don't work out to become fit, but we work out because we're fit. Sound mind, sound body, that sort of bullcrap!

I know what you mean. Just know that the only person judging you harshly for your looks is probably you! ^_^ I realized that everybody's too concerned with how they look to really care how I look.

Well, hopefully that's progress. It's good that you're being honest with him--it definitely sounds like he wants to feel bad. I guess we've all been down that road before, but eventually it's time to move on.

Yeah, I've learned something new though. Once you turn 19 people think you're pretty. I just did and suddenly on the same day i had two guys thinking that i'm pretty. Haha!

He's mentioned how it's just easier to do what he does. It doesn't make him happy though. Blah, drama. lol.

Ha, ha! Is that how it works? That's good! You are pretty, and you shouldn't feel bad about yourself. In fact, I've found that the better I feel about myself or about life in general (regardless of my looks), the more attention I get. I think people pick up on your attitude, and it can either repel or attract. I've always blamed my looks for me being single all the time, but it's really my introverted attitude.

Well, that seems like progress, anyway! Little by little, as long as he's not taking two steps forward and three steps back...

Haha, i've already started working out with a friend of mine. It hasn't picked up as much as I'd like just because of the things that come up when we're supposed to work out. :/ But at least it's a start!
A lot of times I don't really think about myself except when I'm already feeling down. So I don't really want to blame it on that. I'm generally happy all the time, so the attitude part doesn't really work on me I don't think. haha!
