No, just foolishly imagined that it was like, an actual relationship, that might develop further and have a future and stuff. Lol!
My immediate plans are to go and lock the lab door and nap/cry in the comfy chair. Later I am going to install myself on the sofa for the next few weeks, drink red wine, smoke, and watch DVDs. I have just got to the bit in Grey’s Anatomy ...*** season 5 spoiler*** … where George & Izzy (maybe) die. So that will be good.

sounds like you need a bit of tlc, Abby. What about getting a tamagotchi? That could help you to take your mind off things.

Well I got my hair cut just off the High Street in the end, at a barber's, and didn't go to the hospital because the girl that I was going to visit told me not to go, so I didn't bother.
Now I'm back at home with a coffee and am about to start translating something about some archaeological site in Spain somewhere.
No eye twitching yet, or news on whether or not I get to go to the theatre tonight.

For me it took about a week. I do mean emotionally and psychologically, as well. For about ten years I'd been carrying around a sense of deep seated existential dread. Or at least, I thought I was. Because it turned out it was indisgestion, when it went away once I took the medicine.
But yeah. Like I say, the stomach thing made me feel stressed all the time, so I felt like I was in a constant state of anxiety and panic, all of which went away. As a consequence I slept better too, which also improved my psychological and emotional wellbeing. The doctor told me this would happen. He said "don't be suprised if your whole life improves", which is a nice thing to be told.

or any. But still. She was extremely kind to me once, kinder than anybody has ever been, and I will always be very grateful. I still use the towel that I bought for myself when I was staying with her. That towel was the beginning of my new life, before it got even worse.

Mine, mainly. I don't have a problem celebrating other people's birthdays. It's a celebration of them, of friendship, of having fun together, and so on. But I don't particularly like it when I'm the centre of that. It's a combination of shyness/possible humility, and sheer laziness at having to make the effort to be all smiley and nice to absolutely everyone, who while liking me well enough feel the social pressure to get me a present, or a card, or something, and I find that quite awkward. I always try my very best not to "do" anything on my birthday.

I generally feel a bit absurd asking people to celebrate my existance, so I tend to avoid my own if I can, and sit at home, preferably alone instead. That's what I did last year, it was pretty good. I think Louise went out for a curry.
The birthdays of others though, you know, fine, but really it all seems more of a hassle than anything else.

I don't get invited to these things anyway, so it's not a problem. And if I do go, I take Louise with me, and she soaks up the social duties.

I hate my birthday these days, but this year lots of people went to a load of trouble to arrange a house party at my friend's house, with a barbecue and loads of my friends and it was actually quite touching. But I did feel a bit silly, with all my mates making a fuss over me. Bit awkward. It was nice though. I had been feeling pretty down about getting older so a barbecue especially for me really helped.

Thorn started a really good thread about things you were eating, yesterday. Perhaps you could have a look on that for some inspiration for something to eat?
There was another food thread. Something about brunch or something. Lots of silly rules. Can't remember who started it but it didn't seem very popular. But look on Thorn's thread, it's really good.
