beyond my hand being injured and being unable to work;beyond being homeless and sleeping on my son's sofa until he moves in December (and I have no where to go then); beyond being dumped a few years ago after 13yrs together which I thought would last forever; beyond being alone and chronically untouched; beyond my brother dying and my sister losing her mind to dementia; now my daughter had estranged herself from me. she's been distant since Katrina when she went to stay with her Aunt (who is extremely rich), but since Christmas she hasn't spoken to me, accepted my calls and won't tell me why she has abandoned me. there is more going on, but that's a lot already.
It's gotten to the point where I don't even leave this apartment except to shop for groceries. The only people I talk to on a regular basis is y'all. I can't tell my family, although a few months ago I was a bit suicidal and did talk to my son who helped me through it. My support system is XI and my cat, Oscar. I don't check out because he needs to be fed and we have tourneys coming up. I was really looking forward to going to xi fest and meeting y'all, but my car has a busted radiator and I have to come up with $170 for the repair so I can't even drive there. Guess that's why I want y'all to do xi fest here so much... so I can meet y'all. I do try to look forward to even the smallest things.
But here I go, rambling and crying again. @@Damage_inc- don't worry, I don't drink unless I'm out with friends, which is rare. Yeah, I do sometimes take more pain pills than I actually need, but that's not that often either.. just mostly in game so I can play and have fun.
Anyways, I'm sorry that I'm a "Debbie downer". Try not to be, just am lately. If I get quiet in game, that's why. If I sing in game it means I'm ok right then. my heart has always been on my sleeve, and my sadness shows like my slip hanging down.
