Ivorymae’s Random Thoughts

Pulsing from fingertips upon a keyboard

Madly Insane? July 2, 2008

So today I applied for three new jobs and hopefully they will all turn out to be good perspective future jobs. Things at work have really started to get unbelievably toxic and negative. One of the managers pissed off another employee and told him to go buy a case of beer to cool down like he did last time she pissed him off. His response to her was “why don’t i go kill myself”. Her sarcasm is getting so out of hand and ridiculous that something needs to change. I can’t say anything to my boss because he will flip out and say don’t worry about it, its none of your business. Well i just want to tell him, “Fuck you! if it is affecting one of my friends to the point of suicide threats, then it affects me!” But i know that if i do that, he will come back with the same phrase he has used before, “Well i don’t see a problem, and she (the manager that is pissing off another employee) seems fine to me. Quit tattling and act you’re age.” I AM SO SICK OF ALL THE BULL SHIT THAT GETS THROWN AROUND AT WORK AND THE HYPOCRISY, ESPECIALLY FROM OUR MAIN GENERAL MANAGER!!!!! I am so pissed that he preaches all these wonderful things that everyone should be doing and how things should be run, and how everyone should behave when he really doesn’t follow any of what he says. 

On a different note, I saw my therapist yesterday and had her read some clips out of my auto biography that i had to write for one of my classes. It had to be 45 freaking pages long by the way. Any who, the clips consisted of how i tried to kill myself 3 different times, my self-image issues, my tendencies towards self-mutilation, the death of my grandparents who i was extremely close with, and an event that happened last summer that shouldn’t have. She first asked me when i had last cut… well it was just this last saturday….. then she read on to finnish the rest of the clips and started into my self-image issues, which didn’t go so bad. Then she got into the event of last summer and kept on telling me that it wasn’t my fault over and over and that i did what i could. I don’t know if i entirely believe it yet though, that it isn’t my fault. And then she moved on to the tough one, my grandparents. When she started to talk about them and tried to discuss with me what i wrote, i couldn’t speak. Never in all of the sessions that i have had with her have i ever teared up or cried, but this time i started to tear up. I think now she has all the pieces, or at least most of the pieces, to my puzzle. She would keep asking me if i was eating okay or if i was losing weight or any of those kinds of questions, and my reply was always no. I lied all those times, but i finally told her through my auto-bio what really was going on. I think now that she has all the pieces, she can finally help me get to the root of my illness and battle against depression and anxiety and maybe finally help me to be able to say that i am truly happy. As of now, I CAN NOT SAY THAT I AM TRULY HAPPY. i can’t say it out loud at all, nor say it truthfully if i am forced to say that i am. Right now at this point the only things that make me happy are my dog and my best friend. The things that keep me from going off the deep end and keep me from thinking about suicide at times are my great aunt and great uncle, my little sister, my best friend and good friends, and my dog. 

Well i lost my train of thought and i need to go to bed anyways. On to a new post later on. 

 

Sleep Deprivation=Memory lapses June 25, 2008

Yeah, i know, second post in one day… i think… im so sleep deprived from getting up at 5 am to babysit that every day blends into the next and the events of each day are a total blur as to when they happened and how. im starting to get so confused with what day it is. one of the big kickers of being sleep deprived is when i get really angry from an argument or a chewing out, i forget my age and some other rhetorical information. i dont know what’s happening to me. honestly i think that im just really tired and lacking sleep, which is really messing me up. i need to talk to my therapist but she’s usually really busy at the end of the week. i feel almost like im going nuts.  after my boss chewed me out, i wanted to cut to badly… it was one of the strongest urges i have felt in a long time (no worries, i didnt do it). god, my memory is going to shit too with me being so tired and stressed/depressed all the time. 

my dog got fixed today and had his duclaws removed. the poor little guy is in so much pain that he can barely move. i feel so bad, i wish i could take his pain so he can be the active little pain free guy again. its hard seeing my baby puppy in so much pain and knowing i cant do anything to help. he just looks up at me with his sad eyes that start to fill with tears (yes real tears… my dog actually cries) then five min later the hair around his eyes are soaked and dripping. 

well im really tired and about to pass out on my keyboard. 

 

Fighting at Work and With-in June 24, 2008

so this last week has been a pretty tough one for me. i’ve relapsed, but not as bad as it has been before and my boss chewed me out again for the second time since ive been working there for 3 years. the first time he chewed me out was two months ago… now im wondering if i should keep this job or if all the humiliation and put downs are worth it. I want to find a new job so badly because im so tired of all the drama and the shit and all the hectic, chaotic days. everyone likes to make fun of someone else behind their back… hello!!! most of us are grown up mature adults that are not in high school now… or so most of us say/think. i just feel like sadness has melted over me and smothered out all the sun light. nothing right now could make me happy or smile, except for my two dogs. im so sick of life – my job where shit continues every day and gossip and rumors spread, living in a small windowless room in a cold basement, constantly being surrounded by others when i just want to be left alone. i never thought that i would sink this low in a relapse. at least i have tomorrow off.

on a brighter side, i was motivated enough to go for a run and get out for a little bit, and tomorrow is my day off. well off to bed to start another day all over again.
