Christmas Party Decision........outcome

I just wanted to tell everyone.....I'll be going to that darn party after all. I got a dress, it's purdy. I got a wrap, it's purdy. I hate how my body looks, but y'know what? I don't care. Sorta. lol. Basically, I decided to go to a shrink about me degrading myself and how I was feeling, and after the accident, yikes. I was a total nut case. I am still stressed, unhappy with myself, but trying to be less hard on myself.


I'm going to go, try not to think about anything or how I look, and just well, TRY to enjoy myself. lol. I hate parties like this, so this isn't making it any easier.


I've healed physically pretty well. Not 100%, but getting there. Mentally, the fact that school is ending, doesn't help the stress levels, and neither does the chiro admins pushing for me to come in more, more more. seriously, they asked WHY I couldn't make X day. They wanted a SPECIFIC reason. WTF. it's really none of their business. THEY are beginning to stress me out and take a toll on me. Seriously. Talk about mental breakdown due to being pressured to go to the chiro. Nuts.


Anyhow. Thanks again, for all that helped, or at least tried to talk some sense into me. I haven't lost any weight, but haven't gained either. I have water pills (to help get rid of water, for other thigns), and I'm going to take those, just to not feel so bloated. No worries, I'm not going overboard, just the prescribed amount (one a day, don't want to get dehydrated).


I'm still kinda dreading it, but oh well. I feel like this anytime I have to meet new people. lol or at least interact with a lot of ppl.

Cher--- good for you, I know this is going to be a challenge for you, but seriously honey, you'll be fine :-)


What color is the dress?? I got a short number for my fundraiser thing on Saturday night- tried it on last night (I'm unhappy with the top half of my body)-- didn't feel 100% secure in it, but oh well.....my legs look good LOL--


Good for you for taking that step to see a therapist, hope it works well for you. As for the chiro.....madness. I never want to go to one, though I do hear they work wonders, but I've always heard that you have to keep on going back. I'd rather a nice massage and be done, until the next time I WANT to see them :-)

Darla,
Thanks for the support. You're always so positive. :) How's the rooms, all done?



IG,
The dress is a burgundy/maroon color. I love deep dark jewel tones. It's actually a full length dress. I typically don't wear those, however, K liked it, I liked it, so we went for it. :) It too had a DEEP plunging neckline. I had the tailor add some fabric to the V part, so it doesn't show as much. There's a chiffon that kinda goes over it, and we used some of that. So, it matches and all that fancy stuff. I think K also is prolly happy that it covers my tat's on my feet. lol. Y'know, chiro's tend to work, but yeah, they want you to go forever. Personally, him working on me, has been good. MOstly because I don't want long-term issues. But I doubt I'll be going back all the time. They are very pushy. lol One thing I hate about them. They're almost as bad as used car salesman. hehehe.

LOL. see, glad I'm not alone. Seriously, I was like now what am I going to do? Who am I going to talk to, sit with, feel comfy with? I like her, cuz I know she's like me. Shy. Granted, she'll drink to loosen up, but still. At laest I know she starts off like me. Scared, insecure. lol. I was thinking, oh man, I'm on my own....okay, here goes. Be strong, you can do this.

I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief. I know I'm lame, but y'know.....at least she's going AND that I'm going.
