Eh,not good.

[Annie]

I know there's been a lot of negative posts, but...sadly I must jump on the bandwagon...


Firstly, my cousins girlfriend got pregnant. We were all SO happy for them both, but when the child was born, she had the cord wrapped around her neck 6 times and her survivng looks less and less likely.

Secondly, there was a shooting just a few hundred metres from where me and Ian were Xmas shopping! Everyone is ok, but it's just...shocking!

Thirdly, my beloved Annie is sick and is going to the vets. I'm scared.

Lastly, my ex started talking to me...one that did something horrific to me...and he starts talking to me like nothing happened? No, I will not allow that. To make things worse, my friend has now decided to forgive him and hangs around with him more than me.


Huff.
Sorry for venting, but it feels good to tell someone!

Sorry for your situation(s) Annie! I really hope your cousin's child (your second cousin I think?) makes it! and that Annie(your pet) will be ok as well! Sorry about your friend and your ex, and also for the shooting, something like that almost happened to my mother and uncle and (my dad one time?) so I feel your worriedness and scaredness! Hope things get better!

[YFWE]

Ack, sorry 'bout all this, looks like you're fallin' on some hard times... and that's never good for anyone, especially this time of year. It's always good to vent though, of course, and we're obviously here if you need to vent even more than this, LOL. Hope the baby survives, and hope Annie gets better! And really, if you're not willing to talk to your ex after what happened, then just don't; maybe he'll get the point and leave you alone after a while.

Good luck! Hope things turn around for you.

*hugs* Thanks guys!

I'll update you with info when I have it.

But one thing I do know is, I'm not going to talk to my ex XD I blocked him on everything where he is block-able. I just hope he doesn't do the same thing to my "friend"

And I'm just a bit scared that guns are getting closer to my home :\ it's worrying! Not to mention that the shop down the road was broken into and smashed up :\

Venting can be healthy and sometimes you need to use whatever approach currently at your disposal. Before a moderator pounces on me, I'm not suggesting that every member start utilising the forum as a amateur psyciatric service!
I hope your problems resolve themselves quickly and painlessly. Babies are tougher than what some give them credit for. Doctors have assumed a " doom and gloom" additude of late, most likely so that they don't have to hear "but you said...." all the time. The shooting must have been a frightening affair, but you and your loved ones are safe now. I live in a rural town of 2000 in the foothills of Alberta, and some kids thought it would be fun to shhot up all of the main street windows this spring. There is no escape from the idiotic violence that envelopes the world these days........
I think you will be better of without this friend, if they choose that direction. Your ex can try talking to you-but that does NOT mean that you have to talk back, right? Get a restraining order if it becomes troublesome. About Annie, we all get sick, and I have several pets-a big bird- 5 cats, 3 dogs and 4 horses- I get scared all the timewhen they show signs of illness. If you need to make a decision about the final gift of kindness, you can hold her and be the last thing that they know-your love, warmth and soothing voice. Im sorry to get alittle emotional about this subject, but I have said goodbye to four friends this year (all of old age).

Chin up! Feel better! That's an order!

Sorry about writing a short novel sometimes it's hard to shut me up!

Ugh, violence is spreading through the UK like some dreadful cancer -.- I'd advise protecting yourself somehow, pepper spray is good. And woah, stay away from this ex of yours, he sounds like a nutjob

I hope the baby survives *hug*

Let it all out =) lol, that's some rough stuff you're going through, but try to keep a positive attitude, be close with your friends and family, and you'll be able to get through almost anything =)

really hope the baby is ok. it's always terrible when someone so young is lost.

as to the ex, sounds similar to a situation with my friends and someone who was their friend and backstabbed them (it's worse than it sounds, you have know idea what lengths this person went to). and then one of them made peace with her and acted like nothing had ever happened, and stopped being around us anymore. but ultimately, she stopped being around the traitor too and went to a different group of friends.

I really hope that Annie's ok too. sometimes things aren't as bad as we fear with our pets. my oldest cat threw out his knee last year and had me frantic. but he got it back into place himself and after awhile was perfectly alright. he just had to take it easy on the climbing, jumping, and acrobatics he was used to doing.

[Annie]

*hugs everyone*

Thanks guys y'all know how to make me feel better!
It's nice to have friends I can talk about this stuff with, since (because of them all going to uni) I have no real life friends XD

[CheetahCat]

I'm very sorry to hear you're going through a tough situation right now my friend. I honestly hope things will get better for you and everything. I really hope the baby is okay too. ^^

Also, I'm sorry about Annie, I hope Annie will feel better really soon. As for your EX, blocking them from everything is a good solution if they are the type of people that enjoy hurting others feelings. Despite all of your hard times, overtime, things will get better for you and you'll be smiling to us in no time! ^^

Venting is a normal human response to things that annoy or bother you. Everyone vents at one time or another. It's usually good to vent too, since it lifts the burden off of your shoulders and you feel better about it. Concealing your problems to yourself isn't really a good idea lol. ^^ So it a wonderful idea for you to tell us about your problems, because all of us Pride Members stick together till the end. No matter what problems you face, you will get over them!
