make lemons from lemonade

Have you ever actually tried making lemonade?

IT. IS. A. BASTARD.

To get the quantities just right and to make it something palatable and not disgusting takes work.

A lot of work.

So, to whoever said "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" - SCREW YOU, MAN.

What if you don't even like lemonade?

*deep breaths*

As you can see, I'm anxious and angry all the time. If I'm not running on rage or fear, I'm crying.

I can't live like this, you guys.  I'm holding onto life with my very fingertips and this is tiring and painful. So painful.

I spent the weekend catching public transport with my earphones in and Matchbox20 (my favourite band) blasting. I think I listened to all their albums and let Rob Thomas (he is SO HOT, by the way) soothe my broken heart. I cried. For hours as the buses and trains let the world flash by in the big widows I leant my forehead against. I didn't care if people were watching.

Next time, I think sunglasses might be a good idea? I actually tried some on in the Fremantle markets on Saturday. I put them on and instantly thought "I really like these". I put them back on the display shelf with hundreds of other glasses as a sparkly pair caught my eye (the Asian in me can't help but want to touch shiny things) and HATED that pair on my face. Yuck. But then I couldn't find the pair I really liked. I cried about that, too.

I'm so emotional and so lost. I feel like a car wreck in a hoodie.

I'm so thankful for Becci for reading my blog, for reaching out to me and listening. I'm hanging onto your emails like a liferaft, Bestie. You have no idea. I am so thankful you don't tell me anything about you, you just listen to me. I know that sounds so selfish but I just can't take anything on.

I'm thankful for Jackers who called me his family. He texted on Saturday "wanna come over for a cup of tea? Kane and I can cuddle you?" and that sounded lovely, but I have to be on my own to survive this depression so I texted back that I just couldn't. Jack didn't get upset or try to persuade me, he just messaged "love you" and OMG that made my day. I texted him "Thank you for understanding" and he messaged "That's what I do for FAMILY. I'll be strong because I know right now you cant. You just rest".

Oh my heart.

Jackers, Thank you.

I feel like I'm crumbling. Like I'm made of clay and that when the wind blows, pieces of me just come off. They blow off down the street like dry Autumn leaves and all I can do is watch. And cry.

best $270.00 I've ever spent, honestly :)

Now that I've written that, I can remember other things I've loved spending HUGE amounts on: * the first time I got my hair chemically straightened :) * when I bought Jon a "year's pass" to the movies - he loved that gift more than anything else I've ever given him * any time I give Mom 'board money' because she's always so grateful and seeing her smile is a blessing anyway *sigh* back to the point... ...today I'm writing to you from a Travelodge Hotel Room. I know...not the most amazing Hotel - but you wouldnt believe how nice my room is. It's a "deluxe suite" and is big, comfortable, pretty and best of all *big smile* it's airconditioned!!! OH YEAH!!! In this horrid, dry and yet super humid Perth heat...being able to sleep to the hum of a working and LOVELY air conditioner is definitely worth the money I've paid. Here's what lead to this: My anxiety began with coming home to find the carpet pulled up, m...

and then, we move on...

Sometimes moving on can be so hard. I remember last year when I got "released" from hospital. The fear of leaving that safe trauma ward was awful. I hated thinking "oh God...now I'll be on my own and I still cant walk"...but you know what? we move on. We move on from petty fights with friends, from stupid family things, from broken hearts and crap days and we hope for better things. Im blessed because I'm experiencing those 'better things' right now, actually. Think about it, Im at work (so Im thankful for a job), I have the world's most amazing people as my friends (seriously, all my friends are worth their weight in gold) I have a safe home, lots of food and money... and I have an amazing boyfriend. Alun met up with me yesterday at the Royal on a sunny, warm Perth day. He had something in a huge shopping bag and held it out to me with an excited grin "OMG Janet - open it, you're gonna LOVE it!" and the smile on his face r...

10...and then 5 :)

Yeah I can tell Im getting better because even though things are tough right now and Im sad and a bit fed up and weary...I still have hope :) I cant help it, it's who I am. I got an email from "Sandy" today. I really care about her and I look up to her and will probably read her email again when im less tired from a long day and it will make more sense...but for now, what I think she was trying to say to me was to take a bit more ownership of my life and to stop asking God to fix it all...or something like that...and I want you to know, Sandy - Im taking ownership of it and doing it ALL myself...but I believe in God and I believe that he hears me and so Im taking EVERYTHING to Him and just asking for some direction on this. I'll email you personally about about that another day. Thanks for always being there for me. I keep trying and failing and falling, then getting excited about something new and getting back up. Im on a very strange path just now and although...
