Typical Debi Fashion
In typical Debi fashion lately I seem to be paying more attention to other people's lives than mine. Maybe this is a defense mechanism for me. It is a little too painful right now to deal with some of my reality. The loneliness (not being alone, being lonely), how badly I'm feeling physically (although with all the sleep I got last week I am feeling better), feeling so grumpy - which I think is a direct product of not having anyone to verbally talk to, being surrounded by boxes and not having the things I need to unpack them completely due to the idiocy of the guys that loaded Lily Pod, living without things like silverware, a dining room table, MY BREADMAKER! (WHO KNEW?)... All these things are making me want to run from my reality, so I look for things to run to. Fortunately, or not, I have an entire other world on Facebook, so I hang out there. That enables me (the operative term being "enables") to ignore my current plight and help others with their problems and delight in their joys. I'm not saying my feelings aren't genuine when sharing them with my friends on Facebook; they most certainly are. I think, though, that I should probably be addressing my problem of going to Greensboro and collecting the rest of my belongings, and attending my Meetups more frequently to get me out of the house rather than escaping onto Facebook to get away from my reality. Escape from reality too often is a bad thing - for me, at least.

"Escape from reality too often is a bad thing".
ReplyDeleteNot just for you but for everyone. If you want to verbally talk to others you have to step away from the computer, show your face, get out there and meet peeps. Time to get busy, occupy your mind in solving your logistical moving problems (I'm sure you'll survive your BREADMAKER withdrawal symptoms for awhile - lol), start socializing face-to-face with peeps (not anonymously from behind a pc monitor). The upside will be that you'll also not notice as much your physical ills if you keep yourself mentally busy. So then, Debs, off you go now - scoot!!! :-)
:) Thanks, Rob.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree with Rob, but will tell ya, my mermaid, I do it too. It is what I do to escape Lupus, work, etc. I just had to "reboot" some of my life as well to get it back on track. I had to begin back at Ground Zero. I love ya, Deb...now lets get you your stuff!
ReplyDeleteWow, going back to Ground Zero. In all seriousness, I know what that would mean for me, and it sounds rather scary. I hope it does what you need it to my sweet, dear sister. You mean a lot to me, and I am always here for you. Oddly, if you want my number (if it isn't available on FB - which I'll go check right now) Loran has it. LOL <3
