My daughter suffers with mental health issues, so I always hope I'm a little more sensitive to her needs.
It's awful when random peeple make less-than-helpful comments, but even more galling when they are parents!

You're not alone. I have mental health issues too, and so does some of my friends. Judgement is really not helpful.
Often other people don't know how to handle it, sadly. For my best friend who is schizophrenic it helped her parents a lot to go to lectures about the illness.
My own mum however is just beyond help. It's a hard pill to swallow, but yeah...
I hope you find some support elsewhere at least, know you are truly not alone.
(and also, in case you don't, know my inbox is open)

Blah. I feel really unfair right now... and yet...
It's our 2nd anniversary, and I've not heard from my boyfriend. I had worked on not getting my hopes up. He is volunteering at a kids camp these weeks so he can't get to a computer... I know that... but somehow I had this silly little hope that he had sent a delayed a message like he used to do sometimes... just a little tiny message...
At least this year he's aware, and even felt a little guilty about leaving for the kids camp (which I would probably have been mad about, if he stayed home too...)...
I know there's worse things in this world and all. But yeah... I miss him.

Yay, ordered next year's Sherlock calendar!
This month's picture is the worst, isn't it?!
Offline
That's the one I've ordered, yes.

I'm considering getting it too! It looks great!
And I do agree about this months'...
(also, thank you for the hugs last night, I needed that!)
I've done some comfort online shopping today as well... and now my femSherlock cosplay is finished. For now!

Now I only wish I could go to Comic Con in Copenhagen... but alas my friend can't come and I'm a bit nervous about going on my own for some reason...
Though if by some insane luck Benedict turns out to be going there... well *runs*

Here's to hoping it will be back in Denmark by then... this is the first time

Okay I need to get this out of my system...
Firstly I need to say that it's not that I hate all teenagers... just the overly teenaged ones...
And well, this is about one of those. There's this teenage girl coming to a lot of gatherings my best friend has... we're at least 8 years older than her, and it shows... Some of it can be attested to her mental illness I guess... but I lose my mind having to be around her for too long at a time. She's overly sexual, overly self-centered and awkward... and she only does it for attention.
It's the same girl who broke into a conversation some of us had about Shakespeare and reciting of Romeo and Juliette... because she thought it was too weird and boring. Well, that's the sort of things we do!
Going to those gatherings are some of the only social things I enjoy because we can have conversations like those... and she ruins it. If someone hasn't looked at her or heard her voice for a minute she yells out something.
Well, I have to admit I have this cruel hope... she just wrote on facebook that she might not be able to attend my best friend's Birthday.

I know what it's like for there to be someone around who disrupts the rest of the group or gathering. You can't really do much about it without being rude, though, so I don't know what the solution is. Maybe just hope for the best, that maybe she won't show up?

I am moving up north in little more than two weeks and start being nervous about it. I am looking forward to it and all, but there are some butterflies in my belly that weren't there last week. :-)
Offline
Hope it all works out for you.

Good luck with the move and everything!!
Offline
Good luck with your move, Schmiezi! I hope that it is a good nervous and that you will be happy.
Offline
Aw, Schmiezi, bestest of luck for you.

Thank you guys. <3
We started planning in March. After waiting for so long it feels Kind of surreal that we will finally get started. :-)

I've had a bit of a funny experience today, and yesterday too...
There's this group of drunks who occupy a bench at the station and has for years... I've often heard them make comments when I passed, I never bothered listening much, and what I did hear was sometimes rude (though there was once where one of them defended me and told the other one "you can't say that"...) I always hate passing them for so many reasons...
Well, yesterday passing them I managed to hear some of their comments. They were discussing my hairstyle this time. I recently had my hair dyed black and yesterday I put lots it up in pig tails and lots of hair bands in the colours of the pride flag (Copenhagen Pride is on these days)... and one of them went "Oh, she's dressed like a native american today??" and the other one explained about Pride and all that, explaining that was probably why my hair was that way. It was apparently an ongoing conversation and it was a bit sweet.
Today I passed them again, and one of them smiled at me and poked the other one
"It's THAT girl again!!"
"Ooooh, what is she wearing today??"
I dress differently than the norm... recently I've gone towards more goth and punk... but I've always been different. I actually take pride in having fun with my style and it helps my anxiety a lot...

I miss Sherlock.
