What made you unhappy today? v2.0

[Jenny07]

I just got home from seeing my ex today at her parents place. I had been putting it off for a while.
Seeing her makes me feel very sad. 
She was my soulmate and we were going to get married after it was love at first sight many years ago.
She has a ABI or an acquired brain injury for the uninitiated after a truly horrific accident 5 years ago.
It's so hard remaining positive, as she will never recover and confined to 24/7 care for the rest of her life.
She still recognises me which is good and it makes her feel better when I see her which is good.
It's taken me many years of therapy to cope with what happened but still upsets me now.

OMG that's so sad Jen! (((hugs)))

Thanks Shantel & VM

It is an awful situation and brings me to tears everytime I see her.
I still love her very much but there is nothing I can do about it other than be there for her.
Sometime I wish she had not fought so hard as it's a living hell for everyone including her.
This does sound harsh and uncaring but this is no TV drama where people get better.
She was in a coma for 6 months and in hospital for 18 months and I was there by her side.
Still upset now.

It is understandable to be upset Jenny, I would be very concerned if someone was not upset by such a situation

I did some care work when I was younger and although I felt glad to be helping others, witnessing so much suffering was very difficult

Wishing you all the best

Is it really so much to ask for to have one normal week?
Or at least a week that has no bad news

I got a call today from my boss telling me that a guy I go to college with on wednesdays went missing last week and then was found dead on thursday, apparently it was suicide. Phil didn't want to tell me on the phone but with me recovering from surgery I only go in for college on wednesdays and the teacher was sick today so I only heard about it today when Phil called to say there was no college.

RIP Sean

Oregon Mall Shooting: Gunman Opens Fire At Clackamas Town Center Mall In Portland

I've been following the news on the mall shooting    It is so hard to understand why these people do such things, I'm just glad more people were not harmed and my heart goes out to the victims and their families

There are a lot of mentally disturbed people going over the edge over societal pressures these days. Wish if they had to shoot someone they would just do themselves rather than take innocent people with them.

My favorite student (yes, I know I'm not supposed to have a favorite) is eighteen points away from an A. So she is getting a B.

It happens. Lol. In all my times TAing I have always had a favourite. I tell myself the important thing is that you mark them as fairly as everyone else, and it sounds like you're doing that since she's getting the B.

I feel like crap today because a cold has just started. It makes studying difficult.
I'm doing practice questions for my math final and I am so darn frustrated. The more I do, the more I realize that I am completely screwed. I don't have a clue what I'm doing. Nothing is sticking. I can't understand what this question is asking me and I can't find anything about how to even begin to understand it in either my notes or the textbook. WTF.

Also, does anyone know how to fix it when some youtube videos won't play? They're just black like when flashplayer fails. Except it hasn't failed because some videos still play.

Oregon Mall Shooting: Gunman Opens Fire At Clackamas Town Center Mall In Portland

That is truly horrible.

[Felix]

The mall in Clackamas is scary even when folks aren't shooting each other. I worry about people who might now feel like something so simple as visiting the mall will put them at risk for getting shot, though. I wish people would keep their murderousness to themselves. That guy could've found excitement or expressed his anger or whatever in some other way.

What made me unhappy today was just my stupid ankle being stupid. Not a bad problem to have, considering whatall some people are dealing with.

[DeeperThanSwords]

Problems are still problems, whatever their size.

I hope your ankle feels better soon.

[Ms. OBrien CVT]

Ice then maybe heat for the ankle, Felix.  Sorry it is acting up.

I still hate it...she works so hard on take-home writing and brings home an A almost every time. But when she gets into a timed writing situation, she gets B minuses because English isn't her first language.

Her very traditional family wants her to fly back to the Middle East and get married and give up her dream of entering a "male" discipline. But she has ambitions. Unfortunately, she needs a lot of A grades to get where she wants to go. Grr.

I just found out that a young adult shot up an elementary school. He killed 18 kids. What the *word I am not allowed to use*
