    Default Just an update...

    (First I wanna say I had a package waiting by my door tonight with some delicious cookies, a card, and a little christmas ornament, and to that wonderful sw-er, I hope you know your gift made my best friend run up and go WHY are you CRYING!!...hehe. That was VERY nice of you. And made my day.)

    Alright guys. Well, as some of you know and some don't, I haven't been doing awesome lately, mentally. I've been getting super lonely/depressed/having flashbacks and things and there's just alot I haven't really dealt with in my life that I need to deal with, and it has been manifesting itself into an eating disorder that's gotten dangerous.

    So for now, I'm hanging up the heels. I can't handle the pressure of it right now on top of this and the pressure of paying all my bills and half my parents bills. I just haven't been able to handle it all. I stuck through with school and finished the semester with straight A's, but it took all I had and I am feeling physically empty and incapable of life right now, which has gotten scary.

    So...my best friend's mom and dad are coming to get my stuff Saturday morning and me and Gabby are moving to the outskirts of Corpus Christi for a little while. They live on alot of land in the country and have a little guest house on their property. It's nothing fancy, but it's plenty of room for me and Gabby and right now it feels perfect. She's going to cover my bills for a bit and pay for me to get into therapy and get through some old ghosts and get through the reasons why I can't sleep and maybe get some meds for it, and basically just help me get back to my normal pooka self.

    She says they won't be "parenting" me, so to speak, meaning I can still come and go as I please, etc. So any of you I had plans with, this doesn't mean I can't continue with them! It just means I'm getting my ducks back in a row. I'm probably going to move back to San Antonio after next semester if I'm feeling healthy again, so it's just a for now thing. Just wanted to update you guys. If I'm offline for a few days that's why, but I'll have internet back up in a few days, I got a wireless card on their account, I just need to fix my computer and stuff.

    Those people are awesome people for helping you. Make sure they know how grateful you must be for doing such a kind act. You must be thrilled to be getting everything in order again.
    Man how I wish I could do the same. Best of luck to you, sweetie.

    Thanks Alexxa. I do hope I can show them how grateful I am by respecting them and taking advantage of the oppurtunity they are giving me to better myself and get healthy so they dont think Im just enjoying the free ride. Hopefully by taking very good care of their guest house and keeping her mom company and helping with their animals they will understand how much it means to me that they are doing this for me.

    P.s. Im sitting at starbucks right now but didnt have money for coffee and the guy that works here just broght me over my usual favorite drink and a brownie...he;s done that for me before too. I so love sweet people.

    I think that's a perfect way to show gratitude. Southern hospitality ain't no joke, man. I wish more people were like that.

    Aww Pooka!

    I'm sorry things have been rough for you, but I hope that therapy helps you work through all of the problems you've been having. I really miss the old, bubbly Pooka that I first came to know on SW and hope that she comes back soon!

    Pooks I wish you the best. Those people are so wonderful to you. Take care of yourself, and remember we are all here for you.

    And remember:

    People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank; people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you have anyway. You see in the final analysis, it's all between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."
    You Cant Quit until you try, You cant live until you die, You Cant learn to tell the truth until you learn to lie.You Cant Breath Until you choke,You gotta Laugh When your the Joke, Theres Nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive! Will you swear on your life, that no one will cry at my Funeral!

    I was actually wondering where you had been the other day, even though I don't really know you. I'm glad people are going to help you out-sometimes we need it! Sounds like you were under a lot of pressure with parent bills and your bills and school-that in itself is a lot. Good luck with the therapy (it took me a long time to find a good one, but she's helped a LOT) and the duck-managing. *hug*

    That sounds like just what you need. Maybe a little fresh air, people that love you and time away.... Everybody needs a little help sometimes and I'm glad you are acknowledging and accepting it.

    Pooka, I think this is a very good move. I'm so glad you have such awesome friends (with awesome family) who are helping you help YOURSELF. I know you will come out of this stronger than before!

    And I'll try to hold down the fort in Saytown until you are ready to come back. Kay?

    Sounds like you have a good plan. Sometimes we all just need a change of pace to get ourselves healthy. Hope you start feeling better soon.

    those sound like very good steps towards feeling better...I hope things start to feel better for you soon...I've felt so down and confused and sad at times...It's amazing how when things start to get better, how easy it is to forget how dark they once were. I truly believe you have to find little things in life that make you happy, and do everything you can to get away from the hurtful forces. Even if it's inconvenient.

    The very best of luck, Miss Shell.
