The ALL NEW *constructive* venting thread

Licentia Poetica · Post by **Licentia Poetica** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 11:32 am

Ok, I just want to give this a try, here's how it works.

You post twice.

The first post is your usual screaming, crying, wishing, venting etc.

The second post is you giving advice to yourself as if it were someone else posting.

Example.

Post no. 1.

I hate myself I wish I was skinny and everyone hates me and I can't talk to my best friend, and everything is falling apart.

Post no. 2.

Why do I hate myself? Because I'm always depressed & I feel like I screw everything up and it's my fault. Maybe I should get some help for my depression.

I wish I was skinny because I'm sad and I want someone to notice that I'm sad and help me. Plus at the moment I feel fat and that makes me feel inadequate, but people will admire me if I diet properly and exercise so I can be healthy.

I feel as if everyone hates me because my best friend does, and that makes me feel lonely. I need to get up the courage to talk to her and fix the problem for better or for worse.

Everything falling apart is a superlative. Everything is not falling apart. There are some things thst aren't, I need to focus on those things, and work on the things that feel as if they are.

Okay ill go ahead and be the first to try this...

Your comment yesterday hurt me a great deal

~starblaze~ · Post by **~starblaze~** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 2:27 pm

I can let your comment upset me everytime i think of it or i can get on with my life and let it make me stronger. Its not a problem i can fix or one i created. If you dont like who i am, then its your problem. I know there are other people that love and care about me, i dont need you to justify that. I let it affect me before because i was way too overtired, i wont let myself get like that again.

hmmm i'll give this a go, but i don't promise to be any good at this....

I miss you everyday but you don't seem to miss me and that makes me hurt inside

Callisto · Post by **Callisto** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 6:30 pm

so now time for part two:

I miss you everyday because I love you and because I'm homesick. I think you don't miss me because you never say that you do anymore. I can't ask you to say it because that seems needy and stupid, and I don't want you to see how needy I am. I can't change the fact that you're not missing me though. So I need to stop being an idiot and shut up about this instead of whingeing about it.

sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a go:

You made me feel like I wasn't good enough. So many of the things you said hurt.

bexy · Post by **bexy** » Sun Apr 23, 2006 1:05 am

The things you said hurt, but they weren't meant to be cruel and they weren't really directed at me. I know you care about me a lot and I'm grateful for the understanding you've shown me in the past. I need to stop feeling that I have to prove myself to you, then I wouldn't feel like a failure when I see you.

I'll try it too:

When you make comments about church and stuff all I want to do is go back on everything I have accomplished-11 months free, all gone because of your fucking comments

Scatterbrain · Post by **Scatterbrain** » Sun Apr 23, 2006 5:10 am

2nd post:

Why do I want to throw it all away? Maybe because I never wanted you to find out in the first place and b/c church helped me stop so I associated it with you finding out. Something like that...

Don't have anything now, I'm sure I will have something to vent about at some point, but just wanted to say that this thread is a great idea!

Wish I were smart enough to think it up!!

Licentia Poetica · Post by **Licentia Poetica** » Mon Apr 24, 2006 1:25 am

Why thankyou Miss Scarlett

Arghhhhhhhh I have a speech due and my head is racing and I'm going to explode and I'm terrified & shaking in my stylish yet affordable boots. & i cant do speeches ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH everyone will be looking at me and my speech is shit because i didnt go to any lectures im so stupid.

Licentia Poetica · Post by **Licentia Poetica** » Mon Apr 24, 2006 1:27 am

okay. breathe.

no freaking out. not allowed.

forget the lectures, forget how fucked up the speech is. you cant change that now. what you CAN do is get some marks for delivery.

So get up there, pretend your the coolest person in the world in your beautiful boots and deliver the shit speech with confidence & enthusiasm.

ok. i can do this. everyone is scared. theyre not even listening to you anyway.

ok ok ok ok ok. yes *breathes*

no freaking out. its going to be over soon & you can go home & watch buffy.

yes. buffy.

Licentia Poetica · Post by **Licentia Poetica** » Sun May 07, 2006 11:14 pm

im cold & desperately unhappy & i just wanna go home & crawl back into bed & pretend the world isnt caving in.

Licentia Poetica · Post by **Licentia Poetica** » Sun May 07, 2006 11:16 pm

But I'm not going to.

I'm going to go find a place where it's warm, & get some coffee.
I'm going to do my reading & go to the lecture & my tute & I'm going to hate evey second of doing it but I'm going to.
and THEN i'm going to go home & pretend the world isnt caving in, knowing its caving in just that tiny bit less because i survived one more day.

& then i'm gonna do it all again tomorrow.
& the next day.

I hate my father.

balletomane · Post by **balletomane** » Mon May 08, 2006 1:27 am

I am going to try especially hard to move out sooner rather than later.

I think distance will help.

I will also try to discuss difficult issues with my mother instead.

redheadgirl1219 · Post by **redheadgirl1219** » Mon May 08, 2006 2:03 am

Guess I'll try this..dont know if I'll be that good at it but here goes nothing
1st post -
I miss you terribly and all I can think about is all the hurtful things that you said to me. I cannot get it out of my head. This wasnt supposed to be like this, or rather end like this.

redheadgirl1219 · Post by **redheadgirl1219** » Mon May 08, 2006 2:08 am

2nd post -
I miss you because I loved you so much and the distance we had before we broke up was horrible. I know you probably only said those things because you were mad and I didnt help the cause by yelling also. Instead of replaying what you said to me over and over again I'll remember the good times that we shared together.

This probably was for the best. You had too many problems going on in your life and seeing you get worse each day was hurting me inside. I just need to keep that in mind and move on.

Licentia Poetica · Post by **Licentia Poetica** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:06 am

I hate meds.

I hate taking them.

I hate not taking them.

I hate going on them.

Licentia Poetica · Post by **Licentia Poetica** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:08 am
