faith

I dont think another look back,will help,in my present situation,so i need to look at how i percieve things now/in the future.SO far,things that I had hoped for have not worked out,so how much longer do i continue to beat myself up?My decision to leave a network,is based on complete indifference, and my self -destructive nature [frustration].The more i made it obvious ,the less positive feedback i got,not conducive to my mental wellbeing,another potential resource lost,with good reason.Others have made it clear i am not welcome,with a domino effect on possibilities,all locked doors,not due to me,but i know people have had words,behind my back.It would seem there is no forgiveness in my life ,once i am judged ,without a balanced decision,thats me lost.Having been judged so often,tiresomely,i make it a point of mine to not judge others,all my decisons have been in good faith,and with others best interests at heart,says it all.It is hard to see things clearly ,reeling in the wake of recent events.There appear to be brick walls in my way,no matter what i do,i set out to help others ,its as simple as that,given the chance i am still going to do just that,despite no-one seeming to have any interest in either my efforts ,or health.Struggling to find a positive thing in all this ,not what i set out to do.Istill have my beautiful dog Sheba,my family,a home, despite all this ,i still respect myself,i know how hard all this is, yet i keep on trying,there is no choice,back to the drawing board ,where to go from here ,,is past my present state of mind,its back to small steps,this time too shall pass,trying to like myself,and not let others use my good nature against me.It seems a long way to go ,to end up in the same place 3yrs later .Just have to look at what good can come of this,treat it as a [harsh] lesson,and believe in myself even more than before ,steel myself ,and be strong,my recovery ,with or without friends,is my responsibility.PEACE.

  1. Dear Dave,
    In 2002, I had three friends: one cocketiel and two budgies; the sweetest birds. I died of old age. One died mourning for the older bird. The third always tried to bite me, thinking I had killed (?) her mates. I had no choice but to find her another home. This was a very hard thing for me to deal with and accept. Yes, they were animals, and not humans; but they were all I had!! I loved them dearly. To travel back to that past would slowly unravel me again. Why torture myself with pain I could not stop then? Isn't that like taking on the pain of it, again? Constantly reliving the pain?

    Today when I want to talk to someone I pick up the phone. Even if it's a five minute call, it could be the five minutes I need to distract me. I've even called a friend and said, "hurry, say something funny to me or tell me a joke."

    With my friends, I have to let them learn to trust that I won't drag them down a hole of pain, with me. I won't subject them to my negativity. I want love and respect from them; therefore I become more adept at giving that.

    Okay, I don't know what else to say; lost my point. Sorry, it happens to me lately. I'm feeling a bit anxious about a problem. Take good care of yourself. If you get back to that network, send me friend request if you'd like to. :)

    Merry Christmas (in case you don't write another blog before then.) I wish you and your family peace and a very Happy New Year!!!
    In peace and love, Dixie

  2. Dear David,
    I have been reading your ongoing postings. I believe it is good that you try to make sense of it all. So please continue.
    However, I would like this opportunity to allude to a few aspects that come from my perception. First of all. I have never passed judgement on you and have tried my utmost to be there for you. Here are some examples. When you used to go on to that mental health and express you concerns; myself and two others, in particular were there for you. Because you could not log- in to the site, on your behalf, I put up a glowing tribute in regards to your dog, 'Patch' who had sadly passed away.
    I helped you set up an email address, helped you set up a blog, showed you how to bring awareness to your blog by various means.
    I phoned you and visited you on numerous occasions. I did my best to show care, compassion and concern. Yet somehow, I believe you struggle to understand that not all people are out to 'betray' you or pass judgement.
    I have tried to show you positivity but you are so overwhelmed with negativity that you would not take on board what I was trying to show you.
    David, I am scared to call you because I never know how you will react. If you wish to talk to me, you know I am still here for you.
    As a friend, I have typed this with kindness and sincerity. What you do with my heart felt comment is now up to you.
    Here's wishing you a peaceful, positive Christmas and an inspirational 2010.
    In peace and respect, Gary.

  3. dear Dixie,thanks for your response to this posting.I am glad you can call friends,that option has been one of others choices,leaving me powerless.The network you speak of has been [in part]the reason why i have had so many problems,there is no way back ,it would be counter productive.I hope you resolve your problem soon,i cannot bring myself to trust people now,that may change,so heres to a Happy Christmas,and a peaceful new year,I wish you serenity.PEACE.Dave.s

  4. Hello,Gary,having been betrayed by someone who i thought was a friend,its hard to see positive sides.As you know it takes me an age to trust anyone,so this is particularly painful.That aside,so many people have promised so much ,yet nothing has changed,i do get angry ,because i have never set out to hurt or betray anyone,me being an easy target again.I wish you would call me,it would help me immensely,my confidence and trust has gone,and there is no-one else,i hope you can understand how my thoughts have been affected by deceit,[again]adding to all the issues,whats left?Having said that,your help has not gone unappreciated,any genuine he;lp i get is very much a highly valued resource.I still have so many questions unanswered,and they continue to trouble me.Regardless of all this ,thank you from the heart for your contact,i have always tried to stick with real friends,it is just that not many reciprocate.Wishing you and Penny ,and your son TRISTAN,a very happy christmas,and prosperous new year,a new start,no more farcebook.PEACE.Dave.s
