Immagine that, drivin' on the freeway with something like that? Keerazzy. :lol:

Also: Sprunkner got run down by a pickup-truck?! How does that work? I only thought stuntguys, or spider-man, had the reflexes to dodge down enough to be unschathed.. :eek:
I rolled under it. It was snowing, so the truck was going slower than usual for a freeway.

Funny story in hindsight: I was in that wreck with my recently exed girlfriend of (on and off) three years. The driver was one of my best friends and clearly digging her. We got in the wreck, yay, happy, I'm alive-- all those amazing feelings Karl has-- and then they got together two weeks later.

Meant to be a joke, and a bit of a compliment on the new car...

Must be something to do with it being a few years since I watched the ad breaks during Countdown, or something.

Oh well.

And to make the week even better, I've just got my bisexual self dumped by a girl who's been giving me hassle for weeks. Was fine before summer vacation, came back ignoring my messages and being off. Has been insisting everything is alright and making me feel like I'm insane (and triggered my massive depression a few weeks ago). Reassured me last week I was her lover.

Ignored me after I walked away from a crash that should have killed me.

Is now going to accept marriage proposal from other boyfriend.

Dumped me last night.

She dumped me through one of her housemates and I found out that last tidbit from a friend who had been sworn to confidence.

Not very often you get your heart broken three times in succession- dumped, dumped through a stranger and... well.

Kind of rips you up.

[composite word including 'f*ck'].

Why do I even bother. It always ends like this. Now I'm honestly starting to wish the crash had done its job, but [composite word including 'f*ck'] it I know in the end I will shine brighter than all of them. Maybe they deserve each other. Maybe one day they will both look up and see me shining bright and realise.

Until then I just have to get over it. I find holding your head in your hands and murmering '...struth...' sums it up pretty well.

I reiterate. [composite word including 'f*ck']. The most I've ever loved anybody and they treat me like that. I expected so much better.

I'm so glad you survived, Karl! I seemingly am watched over a guardian angel myself all the time (or a luck imp), I'm glad you have one too.

Sorry to hear things are rough in other departments... anyone who treats you badly should be hellishly damned. They are fools, Karl, you deserve much much better. I wish you good fortune, and therefore you may borrow my luck imp for a week.

(I'll lend it to you for a bit longer, but I'm sure that without it, I'd be really, really unfortunate. Luck is my oxygen. But I can hold my breathe for a while, so have fun! :) )

Karl, I went through a similar thing with my accident (a wonderful life-affirming experience followed by months of crap). Just remember that everything you felt is still valid, and life is still precious and beautiful no matter what. I guarantee you'll find someone better for you who appreciates who you are. Peace and good luck.

Chin up, dude. :)

I find it hard to say this stuff without feeling like a gigantic cliche machine, but these things happen for a reason. I'm in no way saying that it doesn't hurt, but if I read it right, she dumped you for her other boyfriend after you nearly lost your life? If I may be frank (it's ok, you can still be Karl), you're better off without her. I don't know if you were aware of the other guy, but regardless, she had two blokes on the go and that was never going to end well. I understand you have strong feelings for her, but try not to beat yourself up over someone who clearly doesn't deserve you in the first place.

I hope you don't think I'm out of line-you've helped me out tremendously with this kind of thing in the past, and I'm just trying to return the favour-I apologise if i've got any of this wrong.

Speaking from personal experience, when ever I've been dumped it always seems to be that I see that person as being this perfect, together, completely desireable being, and in my head I become the exact opposite. One of my favourite sayings is "it doesn't matter how pretty/intelligent/good in bed etc she is, somebody somewhere is fed up with her s*it"-always makes me smile, and serves to remind me that I can get through the hard times, as long as I'm willing to be patient and not blame myself for everything.

Sorry for the ramble, hope you're ok. :)

That's a good little quote :)

The relationship thing is a big mess- but its a 6 of one and half a dozen of the other type mess (in fact in the final analysis she may be more culpable than me).

I get the strangest vibe that we're not through yet... I'll have to wait and see.

And yes, I believe all this happened for a reason too. :)

No worse than me worrying about things that ended last Friday night- if you've still got feelings and they hurt the timespan is a bit irrelevant imo :)

I go to see the psychiatrist on Friday.

Hopefully I can start getting some help and, since there's no way in hell I can work with my emotions like this, maybe some financial support.

Always knew one day I'd end up in the psychiatrist's chair..

nothig to be ashamed of, if anything you should be proud of yourself for facing up to the possibility you may need and benefit from outside help, its something a lot of people fail to acknolwedge and they are more or less universally worse off for it.

I hope it helps, your a good guy and you deserve a fair punt at life.

or something.

Take care

love

I saw a shrink for about a year, a few years ago, best thing I ever done.

Im not sure I thought it helped me at the time, im a cynical git as u probably all know but a few choice words stuck with me, and I didnt feel so alone with my problems. It also helped me to gain perspective on what was bothering me, and not in the old "thier are kids dying in frica, so what have u got to worry about" type scenario either but more looking at my own life, comparing what I had going for me and where I could take myself as a person.

I used to find it took me at least a week to properly digest this information but like i say, looking back, it really did help.

all the best Karl! :)

I wish I had the funds to see a psychologist.

Some days, I'm like, "You know, you're an intelligent, attractive, well read guy who treats people well and who's about to finish a college education. You like helping other people, and your empathy is off the charts."

But other days, I'm like, "You know, you're a passive aggressive insecure **** whose entire life is regulated by drugs and a worsening sexual compulsion. You're losing your ability to function in society, and you could stand to lose a few pounds, that's for damn sure."

Yes, I shall go... hopefully they can help me. I will always be... 'special'... but I'm feeling so black right now. As I told the doc today, you just find yourself wishing that the car wreck had finished the job.

call the emergency number - there should be someone trained on the end of the line.

also try and understand that this is not going to neccessarily be a quick process, but it will be worth it.

take care buddy.
