Juliette hope all is going well!

JulietteMontague · 14/04/2013 16:59

Very nice man, polite all as it should be. Except that I stated to yawn Blush

Someone just backed into my car trying to park whilst im sitting here. I think 'sorry' would have been the correct response not staring at me Angry

Is your car ok?

So a no goer then?

KinNora · 14/04/2013 17:06

Well that's bobbins, Juliette was he just a bit dull ? Is there any damage to your car ?

JulietteMontague · 14/04/2013 18:10

He was very dull, nice enough but there wasn't even enough there to be friends. He is also very photogenic, bless.

Car is fine, it tuned into fiasco involving the man taking over his gf car, him also unable to get into the space and me watching. They drove off Grin

Oh dearie dearie me

Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear.

I have just had a MASSIVE sob fest over missing BC

  1. I do not do sobbing

  2. especially not over a man

2b) especially not over a man I was FINE about moving away over four months ago and haven't shed a tear over in that time Confused

  1. I do not listen to soppy songs and make it worse

except I just did all those Confused. Well no actually the song was on first and I burst into tears and instead of changing it I carried on and snivelled and sobbed.

So, this is new.

Crying. Great. I hate crying. It had better not be a new 'lubes as a non smoker' thing

I mean I know the tendency to cry is related to withdrawal but it had better not last longer than the withdrawal period and be a new personality quirk or something.

Tell me it's just withdrawal and that I am not suddenly going to be a spineless and pathetic sniveller long term.

Please? Please?

JulietteMontague · 14/04/2013 18:24

It is just withdrawal, honestly.

It happens, its unpredictable, it will go away again.

Stay away from soppy songs, no good ever came of that.

It's just withdrawal Lubey -any chance it could be hormonal too ?

( in the meantime, big hug Brew and Flowers )

KinNora · 14/04/2013 18:27

Oh god almighty, yes, stay away from soppy songs as Juliette says ( I've got a great long list of songs I avoid )

JulietteMontague · 14/04/2013 18:28

Crying is also the withdrawal symptom that kicks in to stop you doing a stretch in Holloway, or throwing one in Greggs because someone took the last sausage roll or painting your wall magenta.

VelvetSpoon · 14/04/2013 18:31

Oh Lubey, thats :(

Watch the french cats on youtube, they will make you smile!

Scrazy · 14/04/2013 18:33

It's just withdrawal, the chemistry in your brain is changing.

I carn't see my ex again, he's going to hurt me isn't he? He on the other hand would be more than happy to start over again but nothing will change.

VelvetSpoon · 14/04/2013 18:35

Scrazy I think that's probably the case :( Is he offering any more than last time, or just to go back to how things were? How was it seeing him yesterday?

JulietteMontague · 14/04/2013 18:39

Scrazy no contact. He messed with your head before, he will do it again and has basically said as much.

OP posts:
Scrazy · 14/04/2013 18:40

Velvet, no I don't think he is going to change. Yesterday was brilliant, that's the problem, we have such a great time together but that is all there is. I need to spill it all to him this time.

Snapespeare · 14/04/2013 18:41

lubey it is just withdrawal, but you now what? - it's OK to have a bit of a weep every now and again. it really doesn't make you any less kick-ass you know. :)

lubeybooby · 14/04/2013 18:49

Thanks you everyone and thank you snape. That's good, because I really couldn't bear to be any less kick ass than I am.

I think I'm scared of going back to the days of poor mental health and crying a lot, is the problem. Something I noticed about the well version of myself, is that I really don't do crying very much.

I think even the hellish Big Bad Break Up only got a total of three snivels out of me. So it's a big deal when I cry.

Well, when I cry about me that is ... give me a soppy film or extreme makeover home edition and that's a different story :o

I think BC was the outlet of choice today because he text this morning saying he was thinking of me and trying to find the time to write to me properly. Aw.

Scrazy · 14/04/2013 18:56

Lubey, I am exactly the same, very rarely cry at anything personal. Can sob at a film and even watching BGT today Blush.

lubeybooby · 14/04/2013 18:58

Oh god BGT got me as well... the shadow artists? I bet it was. Haha.

Scrazy · 14/04/2013 18:59

Yes, that was the one.

lubeybooby · 14/04/2013 19:01

Knew it! Oh bloody hell I just welled up again thinking of the story.

I really must locate my grip.

Scrazy · 14/04/2013 19:06

I'm off out for some chocolate, got a strange craving as I hardly eat the stuff, normally.
