These past few weeks have been so hard to take and I'm not sure I have the energy to keep on going anymore. I'm so sad and so tired, and things only seem to be getting worse. I feel like the most worthless and hated person in the world lately. Can I have a hug...?

Trust me sweetie, change will come. I promise you that your life isn't as f*cked up as mine right now.

Eat ice cream.

I kinda know how you feel, the company I work for is not doing well AT ALL, and I've been forced to look for another job before I face ANOTHER layoff (I just went through this a little over a year ago, and I DON'T want to go through it all over again.

Don't give up on yourself, things will get better, just keep believing in yourself. If you need someone to talk to, orgnote me, I'm hear for ya. Take care of yourself.

i'm with ya there hon

I'm drunk!

Thanks (except TheFrog)

I feel better now. How about you?

We all feel like that sometimes hon....just try to pamper yourself and you'll be fine

I'm so sorry to hear you have been going through such a difficult time... sometimes life can be terribly overwhelming that one can feel overcome with sadness and feelings of worthlessness. However, the truth is that you do have purpose, we all do, that is why we're here... don't undervalue your importance here.

Please remember that life is going to throw curve balls to us sometimes, and we are going to feel intense sadness and pain at moments, however, don't make the mistake of thinking that what you are feeling right now will define and reflect the way you will always feel in the future. Don't underestimate the potential for happiness and fulfilment in your life... know that it can come at anytime... but you have to be willing and open to it... don't convince yourself that your life has no meaning or that you'll never find peace and contentment.

Often it takes great strength and courage to get through the dark and painful moments we experience, but don't give up, and trust me, you do have the strength, it is within you... I wish you all the best, and hope that you will start to feel your validity here and your purpose.... Please take care.... and if you're ever feeling that it is too much to handle... reach out for help, I'm glad you did here... Be good to yourself.

Diva you are beautiful.

I think I am right when I say that EVERYONE has times that they feel like this, and what is important is to remember that tomorrow is another day, a new day that no one has ever seen before! It is a day full of new possibilities just waiting for you!!!!!

I send MANY hugs your way and a BIG smooch on your cheek!

You know what I do when I feel like that? I totally take myself out- I buy something nice for myself that I normally wouldn't buy, and I get a manicure, and I take a day for ME- to listen to no one and to go where I want to go and look at what I want to see.... Which for me is normally an entire day drooling on items I cannot afford on Rodeo Drive! LOL!

OR- pop in a movie that you know will make you cry- sometimes after a GOOD CRY, magically you just feel better- I like Pearl Harbor or Armegedon (sp?) for the tear factor....


No matter what though- good things come to those who wait, and the higher power in your life doesn't EVER present you with a situation you are not strong enough to handle!!!!

YOU GOT ORG FRIENDS!!!!! *smile and a wink*

Thanks guys. I knew I'd find comfort here. The Org's been the only place I've found anything cheerful in so long... I think I need more hugs...

Oh yeah, I remember the crazy room mate!!! Hope you got rid of him. He IS dangerous.

As for your boyfriend blaming you for this one, well let him say what he wants to say. It is only hot air. End it with him and move on. Learn from this relationship and move on. And don't be in a hurry to jump from one relationship to another. Take time to get over him and heal.

A guy brings his dog into the vet and says, "Could you please cut my dog's tail off?" The vet examines the tail and says, "There is nothing wrong. Why would you want this done?" The man replies, "My MIL is coming to visit, and I don't want anything in the house to make her think that she is welcome!"


I bought my MIL a chair for Christmas, but she wouldn't plug it in.


A patient says, "Doctor, last night I made a Freudian slip. I was having dinner with my MIL, and I wanted to say, "Could you please pass the butter?" "But instead I said, "You silly cow, you have completely ruined my life."


A "rag and bone man" came to my MIL's house and said, "Excuse me missus, have you got any old beer bottles you can let me have?" At this, she indignantly replied, "Do I look as if I drink beer?" At this he said, "Sorry love, I suppose not. But, perhaps you have got some old vinegar bottles then?"

My MIL asked me, "If you hate me so much, why is my photo on the mantelpiece (the shelf above the open fireplace)?" I told her, "So as to keep the kids away from the fire."


I don't say my MIL's ugly ... but around our way, the peeping toms are giving themselves up to the police.


My MIL said to me, "I'll dance on your grave." I said, "I hope you do. I'm being buried at sea."


I don't say my MIL's mean ... but she turns off the gas when she's turning the bacon over.


Behind every successful man stands a devoted wife and a surprised mother-in-law.


Adam and Eve were the happiest, and the luckiest, couple in the world, because neither of them had a mother-in-law.


Sometimes you cannot tell if a man is trying so hard to be a success to please his wife or to spite his mother-in-law.

"My Mother-In-Law was bitten by a dog yesterday."

I have never made a fool of my MIL.
I just leave her to display her natural talents herself.


My MIL and I were happy for 20 years.
Then we met each other.


Last night the local peeping Tom knocked on my MIL's door, and asked her to shut her blinds.


Marriage Anon is a club for bachelors.
If any is tempted to marry, they send my MIL over in curlers and dressing gown.


wo cannibals were sitting down eating lunch.

The other one replies, "Forget about her! Just put her to the side and eat the mashed potatoes."


A man finds a lamp, rubs it, and sure enough a genie appears. The genie tells the man he may have 2 wishes. He will get whatever 2 things he wishes, BUT whatever he gets, his MIL will get double.

My MIL is so big, we had to stop buying her Malcolm X tee shirts, because helicopters kept trying to land on her.




My mother-in-law is so stupid she actually asked me for money. The thing is, is that, according to her I'm a bum !!!!! How dumb is she?


I always know when it's the mother-in-law knocking at the door – the mice throw themselves in the traps.


My mother-in-law is a big woman. She got run over last week. The driver said he had enough room to get around her, but he didn't know if he had enough petrol (gas).

Then there is the joke about the guy who was told by his doctor that he has only 6 months to live. He decides to move in with his mother-in-law, because living with her for 6 months will seem like forever.


Or, the definition of mixed emotions - seeing your mother-in-law drive over the cliff in your new car.

You got to let go of him.

He acts one way with you and another with mom. Here he is pleasing 2 women he loves.

He is still dependant on momma. The apron strings are still tied to him. He may realize one day what he has lost. Try to imagine being married to him what kind of family that it would be. Nothing would change, what you marry is what you get for the rest of your life. He will always be a momma's boy with a thumb in his mouth. Yeah, remember the good things, don't live in the past.

McMeekle, thank you for the jokes. I really needed something to cheer me up, and some of those were so funny! Thank you.

Tell him to cut the umbilical cord or you're just going to have to find someone more self-reliant.

I guarantee she will not change, and you will be miserable.

If it were me, I would begin dating other people casually. You never know who you might meet, and you seriously don't want to be stuck with a momma's boy. There are strong, Brawny men out there. Go find one!!!!!


I'm sorry you're going through this, but ten years from now, you will look back and laugh. I promise.

For anyone who is confused now, yes I did delete everything I wrote and that's why this thread no longer makes sense. Mods, feel free to make it disappear. Just to update everyone, I actually did talk things out with my boyfriend to an extent, mainly because it got brought up the minute he finished reading this thread... We're working things out and I feel much better. Thanks so much to everyone for offering advice and for all the hugs! I love you guys!
