I'm annoyed at life again

Things I'm annoyed with...

My foot was bleeding because of my new boot, I always break my boots and have bad luck with boots.
I have cuts all over my hands because of eczema and random don't even know how I cut myself.
I got fatter. My ring doesn't fit anymore and my ring finger is an awkward shape because part of it is skinny and part of it is fat because of the ring.
I can't seem to ever be cheered up. I'm always looking tired and sad.  If someone cheers me up, it's not for long.
My dad was asleep today so I couldn't see him.  My mom was not understanding of my bipolar, again.
My computer is still making weird noises.
I hate wasting money.
I'm so annoyed I'm not even going to finish writing this post.

A night of remembering and tears

I haven't slept yet.  (it's 7:42am right now)

Last night I started my "work of grief".  For the first time after Alana's death, I told someone (Golda) how much I missed her, my memories of her, and cried it out.  I told her my regret of not visiting her one more time before she died.

I also shared about my heartbreak with my first boyfriend, which I never fully got over because I kept filling the empty hole with a new guy and then a new guy and then a new guy.

I cried so much.  I shared about my family, my relationship with my dad, my relationship with my mom. Mostly I was sad because my dad thinks I don't love him, and I don't feel much love from him either.  I realized he has some mild form of OCD too, which makes me understand him more.

I thought about Chris, how lately I've been hiding my sadness away from him.  I tried to be strong every time I went on Skype with him.  I wanted him to be happy because he said when I'm happy then he's happy.  But Golda said I shouldn't fake it.  I need to show my true grief in order to get over it.

My life is so broken.  I wish that I was fully healed but it's a process.  I know God will use my weakness for His glory and His glory will end up making things great.  I have learned a lot from my problems.  I am growing.

Hopefully I don't snap today at my mom's birthday lunch.  I'm really fragile when I have no sleep.  If I can't take it anymore I will skip the reunion to see Ying.  She would understand.

Lessons Learned

Lessons learned for my relationship with Chris:

1) more one on one time and I shouldn't drag him into my friends problems
2) don't assume what other ppl say is true
3) realize we will not leave each other. Unless we talked about it in person. Dont assume things from text or Facebook
4) when we have an issue try not to talk about it on Facebook or text. Miscommunication happens.
5) if someone doesn't think we are right for each other. . Screw what they said and ignore it
6) try ur best to resolve the issue btw the two of us and only bring in a third person if that doesn't work . Otherwise bringing a third person complicates the matter


Lessons learned about my weaknesses:

1) I have a problem saying "no".  I always want to please people. 
2) I believe everything that almost everyone says.  I have trouble forming my own opinion.
3) I am too self sacrificial.  Helping others at the expense of my own happiness and not taking care of myself.
4) I take a lot of things personally.  When someone says something, I take it to heart. 
5) I'm afraid of breakup.  I'm afraid of being considered selfish and a hypocrite.  I'm afraid of not being useful or being useless. I'm afraid people I know will die or commit suicide.
6) I don't know how to budget.  Money is totally abstract to me.

Goals I have for the near future:

1) Learn to take care of myself better by saying "no" to people I really can't help.  Whether it is time constraint or emotional constraint.
2) Take everything people say with a grain of salt.  Make up my own mind after praying and thinking over all the options.  Don't be so gullible.
3) Make sure I do things that make myself happy too, not just others happy.
4) Tell myself that sometimes people say things out of anger or their own problems, not because of me or anything I did.
5) Don't be afraid.  Trust God and trust in Chris.  If people think I'm selfish, just remind myself I'm not.  And everyone is a hypocrite in some way.  No need to worry.  Everyone will die, just make the best of each moment while I can.
7) Um... look at my bank account and stop giving free money away.
