Yeah that's a pretty crap christmas too. Mine's all long and boring. Short version - All alone, man been stringing me along (B'stard) hate job, no bonus, Ill and all friends gone away for christmas. Sob sob how could he!!!!!
Hope some special christmassy miracle happens for you maximo!
are you looking for pity? my girlfriend just finished wih me after 11 years together. we had a holiday booked to portugal for the new year which i have just cancelled. i am totally gutted and on the verge of wondering if its worth going on. but i have now booked to go away with two mates to lanzarote for the new year. i know that in a few months things will change and she will be back in touch but it will be too late then. i am now spending christmas totally on my own for the first time in14 yrs. i will get through this . and i always think that what goes around comes around. i have been sh*t on big time but it will not break me . so dont think for one minute that you are the only one having a crap time. life goes on. live it! happy xmas!
Hmmm, wow, all you people with your problems and i was just gonna write my problem, but it seems trivial now. My problem was that i didnt have a tv mag and the shops are closed...
You and me both, Ssquirrel. Bloke working all day tomorrow - I know he can't help that, but he was working today, due to finish at 5pm but has stayed on till about 7pm - his choice. So you can write off Christmas Eve also. I will be home alone tomorrow. Christmas always makes me realise how lonely I am really am.
I feel for you all ! I live alone, my b/f just dumped me, my family live 200 miles away (drove to see them yesterday 400 miles in one day and they were not that bothered to see me), plus my dog died last wednesday which was a total gut wrenching exp for me so im grieving at the moment...i have stocked up on wine and nibbles but think of it this way Chirstmas Day - its just another day, treat it like a bank holiday and have some ME time...you will get through this....
RQ xxxxx
phew, a lot of grief around... RQ, was that the weirdo who wouldn't tell you where he lived? Better off without him... Anyway, a bad time to be dumped because there's nobody available to talk to and nothing open to go to for distraction, and the weather is rubbish though no actual blizzards... But there's endless telly and bottles of cheap sherry, which were made for occasions like this. Life begins again on Dec 27 or thereabouts. Hope you all get through it and have a happier 2007.
A friend of mine emailed me last night.
He has a daughter by a women who seems to be a little disturbed. He tried to make a go of the relationship but, well, there's something not quite sane about her, but that's another story.
Anyway, he's told her to stop calling him unless it's to do with his daughter. He'll only talk to her if it's about the kid.
Anyway she turned up on his doorstep yesterday threatening that if he doesn't start talking to her she's going to call the police and claim he beat her up.
Needless to say, I don't think his Christmas is turning out very well.
I'm on my own, but I'll be going to see the parents later. Not for lunch, can't stand traditional English food so I've never actually sat and had a family Christmas meal.
We'll sit and watch TV until I can think of an excuse to leave, come back 'home' and get bored here instead.
I don't have a bad Christmas just an empty one. But one can spend too much time alone.
Well .. how do I compare. Even though I just spent the past 2 days at my parents house I was so depressed I bet they wished I hadn't bothered.
My ex-3-years-together-fiance (as of 3 months ago) moved out two weeks ago, and is now in USA with her family on hols and now I'm sat all alone realising all the stupid things I've done in the past 3 years and also plucking up the courage to go the my doctor this week to tell him I believe I'm suffering from a personality disorder.
I don't blame my fiance for splitting up with me as I've had plenty of opportunity to change but it took until now for me to realise I have a serious problem ... how the hell do you start off the conversation with your doctor that you think you've got a mental health problem? Adding to the fact I'm new to the area so I've got to go register with a GP for the first time so I haven't got a clue whay he/she is like!
Hi Guys
I just tuned in to say i sympathise.
Life and christmas was a very happy affair something to look forward to before i lost my husband in tragic circumstances. You suddently get to know who your real friends are (0) you need support frm family and friends (0) and you find you cannot work as your health has gone but you still have a young child to support. Meanwhile
you are receiving extremely nasty disturbing letters frm so called family as they enjoy sticking the knife in ********.
Yep life sucks at times BUT
Because you deserve a good life you fight back.
if you need any advice post again
