    seriously need to vent here.

    ok so has the recession affected everyones ability to be able to be single?!! everywhere i look there is people desperate for a relationship.... doing everything in their power to try make it happen. like JUST CHILL OUT PLEASE. whats for you wont pass you by.

    I broke up with the ex in jan and since then ive seen a few people casually.... like i cant stand the texting all day everyday thing. if he/she says he'll call he will. or else hes just not that into you.

    then if you say your single after being in a serious relationship, people say 'o im sorry, someone will come along' i dont want anyone to come along!!!

    im happy going out with the girls, havin dinner and dancing, flirting and checking them at the door.

    enjoy your single life and the fun it brings, before you know it you will be old and married and remembering how every night out was dominated by the need to find someone. had the best night ever on sat, dinner cocktails bitta dancing, went home alone...... the looks across the dance floor and nodds and winks were nice.

    maybe im just loving the single life as i was with someone for ages.

    and for all those who are in relationships, well done... i hope it all continues to go well :)

    PHEW

    I hear you, I like my independence and not having to fit my time around someone else's watch.
    I think I've injured my knee... the Great Ireland Run is in 4 days. :eek:

    I'm starting to see a pattern develop here Kirby!:eek: You're quite unlucky with the injuries.:(
    blurrrgh. feeling all down, and lonely and sad and like just sort of walling myself up inside myself and ceasing contact with the outside world for a while... just all uber sensitive and close to tears and im taking **** personally when i KNOW it's not meant personally and i just had to say no to my second job for the gazillionth time and i dont think i can survive financially without them for too long and my shoulder's still sore and i just want to go for a surf and make the most of the warmth and peace and stillness and the rushes and just be by myself for a while, but with the other surfers and godammit i need a surf right now.

    Damn, why did you have to turn the job down?

    I know where you are coming from in regards to being sensitive. There are times when I can't take the slightest hint of criticism and I take it way too personally. When I feel like that I just take a step back, sit down, and gather my thoughts. It's the only thing that works for me when I need to build up my self-belief!

    So LZ this is a rant thread eh? i must log on more :P

    Spent 12hrs of the last 48hrs writing damn case studies for my massage dip in college, due in tomorrow...thankfully i'm finished them ones but my damn hand is cramped up big time grr maybe i should massage it myself lol...and mixed into that was 2 hrs of hurling training and a water safety practical exam doing rescues so i'm dog tired right now ugh. I still have more to do but not due till after easter, so procrastination is taking over for a few days!!

    Now time to polish up an assignment i've got to hand in tomorrow too, looking for distinctions here so i am!!

    I've had insomnia on and off for a few years, it's uber ghey. Thoughts & stuffs going on in your head, and the more tired you are the harder it is to sleep.
    Bath/shower, clean freash sheets & pjs, lavender on your pillow also helps, no caffine after say 6 or 7pm. Quiet room, no tv, no laptop, keep phone & any electrics away from your bed. There's more but I'll think of them again
    Very holistic approach there, i quite like it:) the bath/shower should be taken around an hour before you intend to sleep too, gives the body a chance to change into a slower gear and relax for the night.

    Lavender is not always a good idea, some people may not like it, some can have a reaction to it and if they have not used it before it may interrupt the way they concentrate on sleeping as the smell will be the focus:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,820 ✭✭✭grames_bond


    im onew of those weird people, i drink tea and it makes me sleepy, caffiene isnt supposed to do that! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Well although tea is a weak stimulant, drinking it can have effects that mimic sleepiness due to its secondary effects:
    1. it prevents the absorption of Iron and Vit C

    2. The prevention of Iron getting into the blood, just like Vit B12 can prevent oxygen attaching to your red blood cells to create Oxyhaemoglobin for transport to the cells all over your body hence, if they dont get the oxygen they need you will feel more tired:P

    Sorry for being a bit technical there, in lay mans terms...drinking tea or coffee will cause you to feel sleepy after about an hour lol.

    Sure not to worry, if you could find one job there, i'm quite sure of it another will come by:)

    And i know how you feel about not being able to do something you love, almost broke my big toe last week doing some water safety stuff in the pool...cant even practice hurling at home, sure its been hard enough to walk properly until today haha!!:pac:

    Hold your head up high and think positive:)

    aye, im being so careful with my shoulder (though i nearly cried when i realised i can't even play bass with it), cos i gimped my knee out when i was 14, just after i'd gotten on the country team, too, camogie/hurling was my life (hurled for 5-6 years, only girl on the team.. awesome way to harden up) and i went back on that waaaaaay too early (granted, on the advice of a fupping idiot of a physio)... my knee's still ****ed. stairs are bad (i love living in a bungalow now), can't cycle, surfing hurts, but worth it, and it's only been a couple of years since i lost most of the limp.

    so im being super careful about the shoulder, and so far, doing ok at not freaking out. helps that the surf is a bit crap at the moment, but still...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 357 ✭✭RHRN


    Couldn't do Great Ireland Run today.
    Coach told me I had a regatta today. IT GOT CANCELLED...... he never even bothered to tell me till I got there!!! And my club is right beside the park..... I didn't have my no. and whatnot though so I could race. By the time I'd get home and back again the race would nearly be over!!!

    And I'm in a general pissy mood today, no idea why. I'm 15, maybe I can get anyway with hormonal teenager for a while longer ? :P

    UGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! why is it **** happens at the wrong time?!
    living at home, cant stand it, father driving me up the wall and has now begun to threaten me, I want to just run out the door and not come back BUT joy of all joys, I am not working at the moment, Im doing a course so I have no consistent money coming in making moving out impossible.... may be possible if I had a few ppl to move in with and price would go down but noone wants to :(:mad::(. So Im stuck here. what am I supposed to do?! I feel suffocated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    Miss Lady - I do empathise, I'm 25 and still live at home and sometimes the lot of them get on my wick too.

    Today my bleh is about how after minding my parents over the weekend as they had bad flu and running the hooose, what did I wake up with at 1am? Hideous FLU.... ballooning glands, sore head/ears, sore throat & like someone took a sledge hammer to my joints. And put acid in my stomach.
    Flu = teh Ghey...

    If one more person says "renting is dead money" or "you're only paying someone elses mortgage" I will probably lose my last vestige of self control. Grrr.

    Unfortunately there is that feeling deep rooted in our society due to exploitation by landlords for a long time during our country's past.

    as someone living abroad, missing so many freinds so much, and utterly **** at staying in touch... i say contact her. and contact her again if she doesnt reply.

    ive done that for upwards of 6months with one mate. i kenw i hadn't done anything, and i refuse to just give up and 'go separate ways'. he's my mate, one of my best, and i love him so much. seroiusly though, every week, 1-3 times for about 4months, i tried to get in touch, before finally hearing from him. if she's that good a mate, just suck it up, and tell her what you mean to her and that you're not letting her just cut you off.

    Aww thanks Froo :),well I did and I got nothing :( feel even worse now ,don't know what I should do,I really miss talking to her :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    keep hassling her. like i said, my mate took months to get back in touch. i got to the point after almost 5months that i thought he was after cutting me out of his life, and that thought upset me so much, but out of nowhere, i got this email off him, and i know now it's grand, despite the fact i still never hear from him.

    keep texting your mate, giving her hte updates. she could be broke, busy, emotional (i tend to cut contact with close mates when im feeling homesick, it's easier if i try forget what im missing out on).

    What's annoying about it is that we didn't even have a fight or anything :confused: and it doesn't take much to reply to a text so not sure why she's being like this :( so I'm just hoping she has the decency to get in touch with me either way :(
