We can't make others move forward. If t...Yes. We can't make others move forward. If they want to hold onto our mistake, they will. Some of those people are petty and want to use our mistake to make themselves feel superior (even though they mess up all the time). Some don't know how to forgive. But most people will move forward with you. Do your best to make amends and give people time to get over it. But don't keep punishing yourself--or put up with others punishing you. Eventually things have to get back to normal.Ricademushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347446705678305814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-69612358950785625542012-11-08T18:15:58.286+08:002012-11-08T18:15:58.286+08:00Vivien,
Thank you, dear. You are always so sweet....Vivien,<br /><br />Thank you, dear. You are always so sweet.<br /><br /><br />~~~ <br /><br />Rick,<br /><br />Thank you for introducing the concept of the stand-up guy. I never heard of it before, only heard of stand-up comedienne. I think the greatest obstacle to overcome after falling is to forgive oneself, learn from past experience and move on. What if others do not want to do so? There is nothing to be done except to know that you have done your part? <br /><br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Skinny Love/ Sofia,<br /><br />Thank you, dear. I know perfectly well what you are trying to say and I totally agree with what your sister has said. It is always a lot easier to dish out words of advice to people that even you yourself know but when it comes to practising, it is rather difficult. I know that everything happens for a reason and it is for us to gain experience and take away a lesson or two from each experience. <br /><br />I hope that your past bout of depression has allowed you to resurface a better and stronger person. I know it has for you wouldn’t be able to dish out all these meaningful words. <br /><br />I only wished that the physical illness and pain plus the mental suffering could just be easily extricated from one another so that it is easier to deal with them separately. Unfortunately, we can’t do that. <br /><br />Thank you once more for all your suggestions. I always feel touched reading all these messages from lovely people like you. <br /><br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Nic Nic,<br /><br />Thank you for your concern, dear. It really sucks when everything rains on you all at once. I hope your bodily cramps and stress pass soon. <br /><br />I agree but it took a little some time to admit such feelings. It is easy to admit the physical pain coz you definitely can’t hide that.<br />I hope you get better too, nic!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-47064009015893126472012-11-07T12:22:47.496+08:002012-11-07T12:22:47.496+08:00Hi Jo,

I have been through that period myself.. whther physical pain or just emotional pain.<br /><br />Actually I'm going through some similar right now - getting bodily cramps the last few days and stressing over relationship and relocation.<br /><br />I hope you will feel better soon with your husband and family's support. At least you're able to admit you are not well, thats the first step to recovery. I hope nothing serious will come about your sicknes. Get better soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-84377107694869737272012-11-06T10:05:45.465+08:002012-11-06T10:05:45.465+08:00dear jo, i wish i could tell you how i understand ...dear jo, i wish i could tell you how i understand you, how i've been there but i know that anyone will ever understand what you're going through, these are your feelings and you're the only one feeling them. The only thing i can say to you is that things get better with time. i believe you can pull it through because you're a very dedicated person and you deserve to be happy. Sometimes we need to fight for happiness, it might be something natural for some but others might have to look further to find it. I'm a person who tends to be a bit pessimist about life, in the past i've been through a deep depression as well. There was a time where i spent days in bed, i wouldn't eat and i lost a lot of weight because of it. I was going through some problems in my life including a benign tumor that needed surgery plus a hard break up of a 2 year relationship. It was physically hard but it was psychologically harder. Sometimes life challanges us, but like my younger sister says, life gives the hardest battles to the strongest fighters! And you might not see how strong you are now but i believe you can make it dear :) have a little faith in yourself!<br /><br />When it comes do fighting depression there a few things you might try that i've learned through my experience:<br />-read books about how to help yourself being happy<br />-try making things to occupy your mind and be focused while you're doing them. Don't think about any other things than what you're doing at that particular moment.That will keep you from bad thoughts. <br />-sorround yourself with the ones you love and the things that really matter<br />-ignore the things that makes you feel down. lets say that there are people being mean to you: ask yourself "do these people matter to me?" if the answer is "no" then what they say has no value to you neither.<br /><br />If you're physically i'll you need to seek a doctor and maybe do those exams you have mentioned. It's better to face your problems so you can find a way to fix them too! also, making a blood check up is a good idea, sometimes people with low lithium levels have a tendency to become depressive, ask your doctor about it he will explain it to you ^-^ i'm not sure why but doctors in my family have told me this and when my sister was feeling down last year, she did blood tests and lithium came up very low too :O<br /><br />If you need to talk you can always contact me Jo, I wish you the best<br /><br />Love * <a href="http://monstrosnoarmario.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Monstros no Armário</a><br />Sofia Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106634060609981544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-78248244537795416882012-11-04T03:37:29.761+08:002012-11-04T03:37:29.761+08:00Yes, I know what it's like. Rubbing away the ...Yes, I know what it's like. Rubbing away the mark of a grave mistake takes time, but it can be done.<br /><br />There's an old expression about being a "stand-up guy". It's a person who can be trusted to always try to do the right thing. But everyone who stands up, sooner or later they stumble and fall. All we can do is get up and try to not fall again.Ricademushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347446705678305814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-12317504447295703362012-11-04T02:50:04.977+08:002012-11-04T02:50:04.977+08:00Hope u feel much better soon, dear Jo!!!

Thank you, dear. =)
~~~
Bibi,
Your word...TDDH,<br /><br />Thank you, dear. =)<br /><br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Bibi,<br /><br />Your words made me tear when I first read them and then when I reread them. I’m glad that I’m not tearing now as I’m reading them again in reply.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your words. They truly mean a lot. <br /><br />Many of my close friends have reached out to me over text but I’ve declined their help. I know myself that I would feel a lot better being physically alone no matter how many of them insisted that I must not be alone to dwell. <br />Don’t worry about me. I will try to normalise myself by doing normal things from now on.<br /><br />*big hugz* <br /><br /><br />~~~ <br /><br />Rick,<br /><br />There is never too many comments for the same post as I know you are concerned for me. Thank you. Your thoughts and words truly mean a lot to me. Similar to Bibi above, your words made me tear when I first read them and then when I reread them. I’m glad that I’m not tearing now as I’m reading them again in reply.<br /><br />I know, understand and practise what you said about making mistakes and gaining experience. Have you ever felt that you try to be as good a person as you are your whole life and then suddenly one grave mistake causes harm to people and yourself and then wipes all your good away? All the good karma that you have gathered, all your mantra of being nice and kind to people around you simply eradicated within a short time. It is a terrible feeling when your resultant bad is the spotlight with all the loads of previous good overlooked.<br /> <br />You always dish words of wisdom which I could totally identity with coz we are more or less similar when we deal with people. I’m not sure if you have experienced what I’ve mentioned above. I think the very first step to this is to try to put things right for whatever that is within your power to do so and then trying to forgive yourself. It is just too difficult to achieve the latter.<br /><br /><br />~~~ <br /><br />Nelah,<br /><br />Thank you, dear. As of the rest of you treasured blogger friends who left me long notes, I teared while reading yours. Your words mean a lot to me. I know, I know and I know everything that you have said but it is just so difficult to put into practice. <br /><br />My frequency of blogging is due to my busy-ness. I haven’t been updating long photo story of backdated happenings, not to mention replying to comments and visiting blogs. But in a way, my tummy pain has gotten more frequent and intense which could sort of contributed as well.<br /><br />I didn’t even know you moved! I haven’t read your last few entries to know what happened. I would definitely miss you and I’m glad you started a new blog instead of closing down your old one like what you were contemplating the last time. I would get back to you soon. <br /><br /><br />~~~ <br /><br />Jenny Ye,<br /><br />Thank you, dear.<br /><br /><br />~~~ <br /><br />Yen,<br /><br />I really haven’t seen you around in my comments page for a long time. Glad to know that you are still reading. You don’t have to say much coz I could already feel your concern.

It is okay to be emotional..it is okay to let our tears running down our face...it is okay to say i cant handle this anymore...it is okay to accept help. After all, we are not super human..not a robot. I am sorry to hear you are dealing with physical and emotional pains, it is difficult, frustrating and stressful when sick. Health issue can take toll on both body and mind, i am praying you feel well real soon. <br /><br />I kind of sensed something was not right based on your frequency of blogging as of late. Something was up on my side as well that resulted in me discontinuing my blog. As soon as you feel well, you can find me at maysaandsunshine at blogspot.<br /><br />Take care girlieNelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035369532382303724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-78263042797748762372012-11-01T22:20:03.806+08:002012-11-01T22:20:03.806+08:00You don't have to be positive.

You are loved!!!<br /><br />I'm so sorry you're in so many types of pain. It must be harder with oh away. Did you let him know everything about this?<br /><br />At first I thought you were having gallbladder pain, but that's probably higher in the abdomen.<br /><br />For too long I made people think I never needed help. Then when I really needed help no one was there because it never occurred to them there was anything I couldn't handle on my own--I was the one who helped them. But the truth is we all need help at times. Let people help you. You are soooo loved!Ricademushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347446705678305814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-70271532103163497052012-11-01T21:39:55.364+08:002012-11-01T21:39:55.364+08:00Sweet Jo, you've been so strong ever since I f...Sweet Jo, you've been so strong ever since I first met you here on Blogger, you've been strong for your friends, for your goddaughter, you've been strong for your family, and also for us when we had an off-day. You've been helping so many people, so if you think you need help from them now, I'm sure they'd be willing to return the favour. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength, that you are strong enough to face the fact that, yes, you're feeling down, and yes, you're feeling scared, and no, not everything is going as you planned/hoped it to go.<br /><br />It's so strong of you, to vent these feelings in your diary. It's also often easier to write them down rather than speak them out loud. If writing this post made you cry, good! I always feel a lot better after I cried it all out. I hope it made you feel a bit better too, and helped you sort some things out.<br /><br />I hope you'll take the time you need to feel better, sweetie, both physically and emotionally. Accept help and advice from the people around you, and take good care of your body and soul xBibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09306565828807716861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-43416292788620911452012-11-01T21:34:37.884+08:002012-11-01T21:34:37.884+08:00I hope you get to feeling better doll, I know feel...I hope you get to feeling better doll, I know feeling unwell is never good! *hugs*The Dainty Dolls Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165942777053327479noreply@blogger.com
