Why do people have to be so mean. The worst thing about being in my profession (as a journo) is that you get reader feedback and someone tells you how much you suck. Even though you really spent time on this thing and care about the people in it. It's like a balloon that is deflated. My whole day was just blown to bits. I really wish I can be as perfect as some people.

Stuff them. If you're also receiving plenty of positive feedback, well then you can be sure that you're doing fine. I know it's hard, but you just have to try and think 'screw you' to the haters... Internet life has made 'meanness' way too easy. (((notebookgirl)))

Those who can, do. Those who can't, criticize. Don't let 'em get to you. ((hugs))

If you're getting the same comments from a number of people, it might be something to pay attention to but otherwise it's one person's subjective opinion. You may need to remind yourself (frequently) that there is no way you can please everybody and that there will always be someone who has a negative opinion. Remember that it's their thing and you don't need to take it on. This expression is a great one for times like that: What you think of me is none of my business.

I am sick of being alone -_- I need for some to find me and he better like SK books too.
Why is it so hard to find love. out of the billions on this earth, I just want one T_T
that's why am angry.
Miri, I met my hubby online on a singles site about 10 years ago. Believe it or not, our mutual interest was Stephen King. That's what got us together. Of course, more than that has kept us together but I've always credited SK for starting it all for me.

I have been angry a lot this week. We have a few wingnut tenants here who are stressing me out so damn much, that I have totally lost it at times. Plus I have been so sick this week and having problems with just about anything. Last night I had to go to emergency because I felt like I was so scared and paranoid. For the first time in my life, I have been taking tranquilizers. They help mellow me out so much that I think I might have an understanding of how people can get addicted. This is the calmest I`ve been in days. Let`s see how tomorrow goes. Wish me luck.

I have been anxious a lot too, Sharon, so I understand just wanting that peace of mind that seems so elusive.
I do wish you much luck and hope tomorrow is a better day!

Do not depend on the tranquilizers too much medarlin'....they are depressants remember. Nothing wrong with using them for a short time and in times when there are many stressors in your life. I hope things work out and for the love of God do not let the tenants get to you....they are not worth your health.

Thanks, Staro. I will be careful. I have one small prescription which I will use only as absolutely necessary, I promise. This is the first time in my life I ever had to resort to using something. I don`t even take over the counter sleeping pills. I never understood why people took drugs of any kind but I do now. It takes the pain away for a little while. If one has any type of addictive personality, it`s easier for me to understand now and not be so judgemental. So I guess out of something negative comes something positive. Thanks for your concern but although this helped me through the night and took away some of the anxiety, I didn`t like the feeling of not being in control and working out my own feelings.

Bless you! Sometimes you just need to re-boot! You've got a lot to deal with - take care of yourself.
