tired

[cloudyweather]

what do you do if you get tired of fighting
do you give up or do you get a second wind?
what do you do if you feel youre a lone voice-carry on shouting or give up?
im so bloody tired of fighting that i feel like giving up!

Anything you want to talk about in particular sparky?

I have felt a bit like this sometimes and felt that stepping away from the feminism section on here and forgetting about it for a bit helps.

oh im not talking about this board msrisotto-sorry-i should of said this
im talking about rl
fighting for the right for people to be them and fighting for disability
and fighting for...........actually it feels like life is just one big argument.
i feel like giving up!

I didn't think that you did mean this board although I see how it has come across that way. Bad communication on my part there.

I felt like this a few weeks ago. I felt fed up of fighting all the time, constantly having my feminism attacked. I came on here and had a rant and it really helped, I think everyone feels how you're feeling from time to time.

Hey sparky, I was wondering where you had gone :)

You go through periods of tiredness and then you get your energy back and carry on fighting, is how it goes. If you know your cause is right.

In a way the fact that there are so few feminist campaigners around makes me more determined, because if I shut up that means there is an even smaller number. But then if there were a lot then I would feel encouraged because it wouldn't be so lonely/hard all the time :)

Sparky, I dont suppose you live anywhere near Doncaster do you. I am the only feminist in Doncaster and I am also tired and lonely. DONT GIVE UP.

thankyou everyone
Prolesworth-no i didnt know about it-but its not a wise thing for me to go on a demo at the moment as id probebly get arressted!!
waves at Elephantsive been about lately but too tired to really get into a discussion.
yep-youre right Elephants.
i feel a bit better today but tearful-but this is ok!
im trying to pick myself up again!
Mrs Clown-no im not where you are unfortunatly.
im here and tired and loney instead

ha ha ha ha -yep Prolesworth-i know just what you mean!
oh my fantasies are much simplier-mind you-the rusty shears sounds like a good idea[nodding earnestly]

There were LOADS of people on it. I saw them going past my window for what seemed like about half an hour. Was so impressed because I know that going on a demo is enough effort and hassle when able-bodied. The sheer amount of effort involved in coming along made me feel pretty overawed.
