LOA -- Good Thoughts Please (aDork)

Posted : 4/3/2010 10:35:58 PM

Though I don't post here very often anymore, I will probably only lurk at most in the near future. Here's why...

This afternoon my brother called me to tell me that my friend was in the hospital for attempted suicide. She was the girlfriend of my friend, Alex, who just died in a car accident early March. This is hard for all of us, but the hospital believed it was a one time thing, and will be releasing her. I continue to be both stressed and upset and learning how to cope from the death of my great-grandmother, great-uncle, Alex, and even a bit further back, my high school German teacher who committed suicide 2 years ago.

Right now, I need to focus both on what is best for me, my dear friends, and a Misha-dog. At the moment, that means focusing on getting my work done so that I can graduate on time, finding a place to live in MN, and figuring out what to do with Misha when I move. I know that I need all the good thoughts and vibes I can get as I struggle to make sense of everything that has recently happened. As can my friend and her family and friends. I just hope that I don't have to update this thread with more tragic news. Send Megan all the "things will be okay soon" vibes you can guys...

Until then, I will keep you guys in my thoughts, and I appreciate any thoughts I receive.

I'm so sorry that you've had so much loss and tragedy in your life lately. I hope Megan is ok and that she gets some professional help to deal with the loss of Alex. Life is sure a tough road at times. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. (((Hugs)))

I'm sending all the good vibes I can muster. I hope things will begin to get better for you, and I know that you will make thoughtful decisions and, hopefully, take good care of yourself through all of this.

Megan seems to be doing much better. I think another friend of mine is trying to help her out. Hopefully the thing she needed was just someone to listen.

It also seems that Misha will be staying with my parents when I move. I'm not completely happy with this situation, but I think it's what's best both for him and for me at this point. I will be getting him back in August.

Also, ALOK is probably having to transfer schools because of issues with one of her professors. This changes our plans as far a where we're moving, but not to the point where it will affect our rent or ability to have Misha, it's just very stressful and upsetting for her.

Thank you everyone for your support.

My friend Megan is on her way to Mississippi, where she and her sister were born, to visit her mother. Her mother just got out of jail again, but is now very ill and the doctor's cannot figure out why. Though it's not been the best situation, Megan loves her mother very much. So please spare some thoughts for her trip down there and back, as well as for her mother.

As for me, I'm caught up on my work and just 2 weeks from graduating. I found an apartment in MN and will be moving May 16, sans Misha-dog, my parents will be keeping him. I'm looking for a good classroom type situation to give my snake to, since he is 8 years old and if he goes to my parents he will just sit in the house being ignored. I know he probably only has about 4 years left, so I need to do what is best for his mental health. ALOK, who's moving to MN with me (and then Misha and I are moving back to GA with her), is no longer living in her parents' home. They are fighting and talking about divorce, and even her little brother (17) has moved out of the house. I'm also currently recovering from food poisoning that I got this past Saturday, and I hope it's nothing more serious.

I came back to lurk after hearing about Talus. I'm certainly keeping him and his mom and dad in my thoughts, as well as Bevo. I do lurk around here a bit more than the general site. I'm certainly glad to see that my favorite big Dogue is doing better! And glad to hear about Bevo's improvement.
