I've come to a realization!

[lionkingcmsl]

I'm tired of fighting.

I just don't care anymore.

Let them come and take everything. I just don't care.

EDIT: I am not looking for cash, pity, or anything. I'm just stating facts.

Okie.

1) Get more rest, you obviously need it. Put the computer down, and walk away from the screen. The internet was here before you, and it will be here after you.

2) Realize that it is really exhaustion and frustration talking, not really you.

3) In the end, the choices are your own how you want to handle things. We as friends can encourage, give aide, and support you when and how we can... but the truth of the matter is that you do have an emotional anchor that you are carrying around. And it's dragging you down and holding you back. You have been able to do things that few others can do - but it's ultimately up to you how you feel about yourself. It's all about a positive mental image you need to have of yourself. Once you have that, you'd be surprised how far you can go - if you are willing to apply and try. And I'm not saying you're not trying... I know you are. But sometimes you defeat yourself because you will look at things -too- negatively. I have the same fault. So do most of your friends. We just learn to find "the good" in situations and keep on trying even though we fail. Acceptance of failure means moving on to the next task... "Okie, I failed at that, so what's next?" has to start being in your make up. Then it's not the "failures" that consume you - it's that you learn from them and move on.

Okie... yeah... that and $0.25 will get you a cup of coffee. Remind me that I owe you a quarter.

Cam,

On an intellectual level I understand what you are saying, but on the emotional side, I'm not too sure.

There are times when you have to realize that the fight is not worth it. I believe this is one of those times. :={

And where, pray tell, can you get a cup of coffee for $.25? :=3

If it's anywhere around here I'll start going there, as it would be cheaper than brewing my own. ;=3

Remember "The Vow"?

Well, humbly I put it to you that you have a responsibility and "good fight" left unfinished. Because by taking away your friendship - you are not only hurting yourself, but the friends who care about you.

I am only hoping that helps you understand on the emotional side of things to make the "right" long-term decision... and that means going through the worst, and await those better times. We've talked about long term versus short term before... I am just hoping to help you find the "right" way out of your depression.

A good friend did that for me once. Seems I owe it to them to try my hardest for them. Wouldn't you agree?

Please dpn't give in, LK *HUG*

Go for a walk, try and calm yourself down. At the end of the day, tehy can't take money that isn't there, but it's money they want.

I can't speak of US creditors, but in the UK, most creditors are willing to listen to a reasonable offer. Maybe if you spoke to them directly, explained your situation, and made them an offer you can cover to repay your debts?

*HUGS* Don't give up, LK, Got too many people want to see you happy again ;)

Here is their number so that you can call them.

Remember that we all care.

I know how you feel, amigo!

With today's car repar bill of $2214, my total debt has topped half of my gross yearly salary.

*whoopee!* NOT!

Don't give up, LK. Never, ever, ever give up.

I know Yaba Baga hasn't had a chance to meet with your varied characters on the Dream, Don, but I can feel the impact that you have on the Dream. I can understand how you feel, I've been in the very same position. I know the pain can be excrutiating. But I hope you can draw strength from you many friends... know that they all care for you.

Don, you have a lot more friends than you realize.

If you are concerned that you could be out of the house, see if there is someone who would look after Maggie while you sort things out. We all have our darker days, but no matter how tired and depressed you are feeling right now, these things can be sorted out.

I know I am not on your friend's list, but you are a good friend to many I care deeply for. And for that I thank you.

Just know that so many care for you and want to help.

Just wish i could do something to help.

Ultimately possessions are just things. Possessions do not love you back, so it does seem silly to cling to them the way that we do.

You can be free, in a way, by letting go of things. You can make choices about jobs and interests that you could not "afford to pursue" before.

That's how I ended up at Home Depot. It paid my bills for over a year, and I was sure that I could never afford to work for them. Funny how it all worked out.

I don't know if I make any sense.

Best wishes for you!

A bit of advice...

Nolo Press's Debt/Bankruptcy Center (http://www.nolo.com/lawcenter/index.cfm/catID/734BECB6-ADDE-4041-AEC595AF30EA15CE)

When I found myself in severe financial trouble in 2001, I turned to Nolo Press for advice on my situation... and used their Chapter 7 Bankruptcy product to file bankruptcy without a lawyer's aid. While your situation might not call for so drastic a measure as bankruptcy, I bet you could find some useful information there. I wish you the best of luck in dealing with things, Don...
