Bad Day

Today is my horrible day. I just wrote this all out and then my page reset and I lost everything. It is one of those days where I just want to cry and go back to bed except that I know I will soon wake up hearing Isabella crying even though she has been gone for 5 months. Her mom took her away from me because she had been married for a year and was just using me as someone to give her a place to stay while pretending that she loved me. She has done that a lot over the past five years. I raised that kid for the first 7 months of her life basically on my own. I was her daddy and now I wake up hearing her cry and knowing I can't help her so I don't sleep much or else I have nightmares of the guy who sexually assaulted me (I hate the word rape, it just doesn't sound harsh enough to me I guess). Tonight I've needed someone to talk to because everything felt out of control and everyone was busy. My father has been ignoring me for the past 2 months and my mom does what she can but works a lot. So I called my friend and found out that everyone decided to go out clubbing without me. Which I could go but where they are at is really nasty and the guy she is with often treats her horribly so she calls me crying and then expects me to forget when he treats her horribly again.

I have a trans group, which she attends with me as she is also trans, but that doesn't meet for a couple of days. In the mean time I wake up feeling like a shell. I do what I have to but usually am just going through the motions. I feel like nothing is right but I don't know how to fix it. I go out and do job apps a couple times a week but can't too often because it is so hot. To top it off my monthly "friend" is around reminding me that I'm not entirely the man I want to be. I can't afford insurance and since I'm living with my mother the state won't provide it. I can't find a councilor who is free. Everyone keeps yelling at me about my mood swings going from happy to depressed to angry in only a few minutes and even I am starting to notice it but I feel like I can't control it. I just... don't know what to do

The page reset was most likely my fault and you have my sincere apologies.

Oh, no problem I just always blame my laptop that never does what it is supposed to. :)

I'm terribly sorry that you are having arough day.    I've been partially in your shoes, before.   I once had a girlfriend whom I loved dearly.   She had a son that I also cared deeply for.   She would go off for days leaving me to take care of her son.   Eventually I realized she was using me as a babysitter and not contributing to my happiness (quite a bit in the opposite direction, actually) and had to have her leave.  I remember when I realized just how bad things were, lying in my bedroom in a fetal position crying.  It was really really bad.

After I booted her out, and said goodbye to her son (whom I always considered my adopted son) I used to wake up at night paniced that I couldn't hear her son in the other room playing.  To this day, seeing cartoons he used to love will sometimes brings back those emotions.  I eventually got over it, though.  I became a stronger person in the end. 

I ran into her the last time I went back to my hometown.  She grew up a lot and realized where she had gone wrong.   I got to see her son too.  He grew up to be totally awesome.   He actually gave me a big hug when I saw him.   I almost cried.

Hang in there.   Things will get better.   I wish I could find a way to help you get past the tough parts, though!

I'm so sorry that happened to you as well :( I've had many people tell me it will be okay but I'm grateful to see that there is another person who has managed to work through it. I have lived in the same area walking the same streets every day and seeing those memories and emotions like you mentioned when seeing a cartoon he watched. You did help by the way, sometimes it's just helpful to have someone who can relate and takes the time to show they care by responding :) This site has become like a second family to me. Had I posted this on a site with my friends they would have just kept telling me I needed to get over it.

This isn't about the same girl you wrote about having feelings for on another thread is it? In any case, I'm sorry to hear you're having a bad day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better as cliche as that may seem.

Hey thanks Kyle, yeah the girl I mentioned is in this mess of a rant but she's the friend I mentioned not the abusive chick. She's the one who I called tonight and found out her and everyone else were going out except me. Which probably explains why it upset me so bad. Sorry for ranting about her on both threads...

Haha like I care if you rant. I get it now. You two are better off with each other instead of these abusive people.

You did good by Isabella, and  have given her  the love and affection she needed at the time. Maybe in the future that will make a significant difference to her, so don't feel it was all a wasted effort. :angel:

Thanks :) you're right just sometimes hard to put it into perspective. Now that I'm calm I'm realizing that more.

It's really too bad you live that far away (at least I guess so), cause I think this would really be the time for a frustrated phonecall and going for icecream then. I'd totally do that.
Do something nice and forget about all the depressing stuff for a second. Don't you have anybody around to talk to? Except the people that go clubbing without you, which is such a nice thing to do, really  ::)
One thing that helps me when I feel so bad is sleeping. I don't know why. When I wake up, things are much the same, but I have a little distance, emotionally.
Take care.

Thanks Kev, yeah phonecall and icecream would've been a good way to get away from it all. Surprisingly I ended up online with an old girlfriend who is now just a friend and talked for 5 hours with her about everything. It helped. You're right, sleeping almost always helps me as well, I ended up crashing for almost 12 hours and woke up feeling like things were more manageable. My transgroup is tomorrow so then I will be around physical friends but I was lucky last night to have kind friends like you on here, it really helped :)
