Lots and lots of good thoughts and good luck dust coming your and papamags' way, mags!
The guy I went on a couple dates with, who I already felt a connection with, sent me a "thanks but no thanks" email last night. I'm sad but his reasoning showed that, at the very least, that reasoning would've become a problem in the future. So it's for the best and I'm going to try not to be sad much beyond this afternoon. I have plenty of other places to direct my energy.
tiramisu, I don't think I have told you this, but I am really impressed by your attitude towards dating lately. I love how you have no problems talking to people, going to the bar alone, and just generally enjoying your self and your life. I am a little jealous of your social life.
I hope they offer you something you would be stupid to refuse, chalupa!
Aww, thanks ladies. I responded, he told me his reasoning (what the differences were) and this is an excerpt from my response: "As far as the anxiety and depression, well, there's not much I can say to you on that. I'm honest and open about it because I'm not ashamed and I don't think it's made me any less capable and awesome a human being.". Because one of his concerns was my anxiety and brief depression. I can't date someone who's so negative about the population I work with and definitely not about me.

Thank you Muddled, I really appreciate this. It's been a process to get to this point but I'm so glad I have. And I'm glad you can see it.
I hate it when a relative likes something on FB that changes how you see them. One of my cousins (husband of my dad's first cousin) was liking stuff related to an article saying that supposedly Oba.ma admitted to being born in Kenya. Ugh. Hidden.
Good thoughts for your family mags. tiramisu, you are right in that it doesn't make you any less, and you need someone who sees that.
I think I may have just lost a friend.... I sent a text this morning canceling this weekend and she has not replied. And this is someone who is attached to her phone. Going 3 hours without a reply is rare for her. I will be sad if that is the case, but I had to cancel for my own mental health. (Long backstory)
That stinks, tiramisu. I know you know this, but you will find someone that loves you for you. It is a shame that this guy was so nearsighted.
Thank you!
I'm honestly shocked about the anxiety thing. It's so mild now that I don't know if I even qualify for a diagnosis anymore. And I think someone going to therapy when they can tell something is about to start interfering in their life significantly is actually really healthy. I think people with a mindset like his (that this is bad) are not any mentally healthier than someone like me. And now my irritation is not just with him but all the people who stereotype mental illnesses.

I hear you. It's like getting dumped because you have cancer, lol. EVERYONE has issues and no one is perfect. To me, how you deal with your issues speaks volumes about your character.

Today is my Friday and I have some people coming over tomorrow evening. I'm getting a little stressed about having people over to see my place when I don't really feel like it's put together. I just need to put my pictures up, but I'm still anxious. Ds will be with his dad tonight until about 8 and my nephew won't be home until around 7, so I'll have to resist the urge to binge watch Netflix and get stuff done instead.
Tiramisu. you're awesome. Sorry he's going to miss out but at least you know now.
I've already been up for 6 hours and have gotten so much accomplished. I went to Yoga, then I moved some things around my house for the party on Saturday. I also hung some pictures in the media room. We hung our tv last night. Super scary. (will this really work???) I'm making a gallery wall around the TV so it's not so look giant tv! Now I'm at work getting stuff done.
Today's the day XH said he was going to see an attorney. I hope he's lying, like he tends to do. DS was talking about how he's been feeling anxious lately. When I asked him what's been causing it, he said the new school and worrying about the "new schedule at dad's". Have I mentioned I want to punch XH in the face???
