It’s that feeling that you are out of control. You know things are getting to you far more than they should, or normally do for that matter. It’s that hot, stinging sensation behind your eyes right before the floods tear loose.

There’s nothing like the feeling of being further down on the priority list than you’d like to be. That irrational moment where you say, I obviously care MORE for you than you do for me. Even if you know it’s irrational and possibly unfair. The feeling is still there and the more you try to swallow it the more it wants to keep rearing its’ ugly head.

Somewhere behind the new patio, the crappy western, and impromptu jam session in the garage is where I’m falling at the moment. I can’t swear that the roast in the oven isn’t ahead of me, because it probably is.

And, yes, I’m PMS’ing like nothing you’ve ever seen (if you aren’t married or significantly attached, that is) and I know that some of what is going on is hormones and mood swings… and yet, I’m thinking of lovely things I’d enjoy doing with a meat tenderizer about now. Slow, painful things…

But, then again, it isn’t just that one thing, it’s more than that. It’s the conversation where the other person drifts off to talk to someone else when you were mid-answering them. It’s that emotional feeling of being slapped in the face, snubbed, and ignored. Somehow, ignored seems to be the worst of the three.

So, this is me on my pity pot. It’s not pretty, I know. But, this is my blog and if I want to throw myself a pity party (hastily checking archives) I don’t think it’s something I’ve done with any sort of regularity, so perhaps I’m entitled.

Meh.

What is a blog if not an avenue to vent?

Vent on MacBeth. We are here for you. Wait til you get to the big change - it can be craptastic. Not always but it has it’s moments too.

In the meantime sending big HUGS!!

avitable says:

Everybody deserves a pity party every now and then. Go eat some cake and life will automatically feel better!

Amy says:

Wicked True, I just feel bad writing a less than positive or amusing post. Thanks for understanding.

Avi True. Cake makese everything better, doesn’t it? Too bad I’m doing Atkins at the moment… good thing that guy is already dead or he’d be on the meat tenderizer list as well.

Miss Britt says:

You know you can call me, any time - day or night, even if you’re afraid to call because I’ve been so self absorbed lately you think I won’t listen.

That feeling of being unheard and unseen STINKS. I have a recurring nightmare where I’m screaming and crying and kicking and no one can see me, they all just look at me, unaffected.

I’m sorry, love. I think a binge of sugar-free chocolate is in order!!!!!

Amy says:

Miss B This is just one of the many reasons why I love you! :smile:

Joefish says:

Slow, painful things with a meat tenderizer? If you need me, I’ll be hiding.

avitable says:

At this point, fuck Atkins. Eat some damn carbs!

Amy says:

Joe LOL

Avi Right now I am having this fantasy of sitting in bed with a huge box of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, a devil’s food cake with grandma’s homemade fudge frosting, and a box of See’s Candy, and a gallon of milk.

That would be my problem, it’s not just one or two carbs… it’s one or two hundred (thousand).

avitable says:

That’s okay - when you’re in a funk, depriving your body of carbs just makes it worse.

Amy says:

Avi it DOES, doesn’t it? I always feel better after a dozen or so peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.

so sorry to hear you’re in a rut right now. I hate PMS. I get so cranky and my face breaks out. it’s just not fair that guys don’t have to go through it too. but then again, if they did, we’d have to put up with them when they were PMSing and you know what babies guys are… :mrgreen:

Amy says:

Dawn LOL - No kidding! :roll: And, WE are referred to as the weaker sex… can you believe that shit?

tori says:

not to be a sabotager… but avi is absolutely correct… even if it’s just some veggies or a sugar free pudding/jello that has a small amount of carbs… you will feel better…

being ignored is the worst feeling!

Amy says:

Tori Thanks! I am licking my wounds with Dove sugar-free chocolates. If this doesn’t work, I do have a batch of homemade peanutbutter, chocolate chip cookes 1/2 made with splenda to ease my pain. :mrgreen:

And yes, few things seem to sting as much as being ignored does.
