I’m never drinkin’ again!?

So I got all drunked up the other night & went to Taco Bell. I noticed the car ahead was an old high school friend who wanted me bad. I can’t remember how I ended up in her bed but thats the next thing I remember. There I was naked to the world underneath some chic in the dark on a waterbed. i was startin to snap outta my drunken stooper and regret was well under way. Then I felt(Iknew) I was gonna puke. All that booze, the “ocean motion” and lets face it after high school she gained a couple hundred ponds so that didnt help. By now I’m wanting out the door BAD & she’s hopping up & down on top of me and I got throw up in my throat. Finally she stops to get a drink & I bolted out the door, down the steps & in my car and I was gone. I had to get smokes so I stopped @ the gas station, went in & reached for my wallet. My wallet was not there. I left it w/ her. NNOOO!!! I need it but now I’m a huge a.s.s.! Count my losses? Retreive & apalogize? WHAT!?
No one says run? You guys are trying to make a fool outta me again.

Does anyone share the same chronic cough that I have, it gets much worse at night.?

For quite some time, I have been suffering from a very terrible cough that occurs every three to four months. Anyone and everyone that hear it comment on how bad it sounds. A former boss even told me that it was ‘grating’ on fellow employees. When I get this cough it lasts anywhere from four days to two or three weeks. It sounds very bronchial, I think, and feels like it comes from deep within my lungs. I rarely cough any mucous up, and for the most part my nose is usually congested at the same time but not always. The discomfort significantly increases at night. As soon as I lay down I go into massive coughing attacks no matter if I lie on my back, side, or stomach. They come on so quickly and it is impossible to physically try to suppress it. It starts with a sort of tickle in the back of my throat then instantly I suck in a bunch of air (which I can’t stop from doing) and then I start coughing and it lasts for multiple coughs sometimes up to six or seven. It’s a very disatisfying feeling because the force of the cough feels as if it’s trying to dislodge something for me to cough up but it never does and I keep coughing because it never ‘catches’ and successfully transports anything up my throat (which is the best way I can describe it) It gets to the point where I am gagging and dry-heaving and nearly vomiting after a coughing attack and sometimes I lose my breath for a few moments. Humidifiers don’t help, cough syrups and sprays only help very temporarily, nasal decongestants help so that I don’t have to breathe through my mouth when trying to sleep and the prescribed codeine cough syrup that I sometimes get knocks me out for a while, but both are also very temporary and I usually wake up many times a night. And my condition has gotten increasingly worse, now I am waking up every hour or less to a coughing attack and currently I have not slept more than 5 or 6 hours in two nights. I do not have insurance so I have to go to the Emergency Room and every time I get the same story, that it’s either allergies or just a cold. I did get a sample of Advair and Nasonex which seemed to help but at the same time I didn’t start taking them til over a week after my cough started so it could have just been timing. I want to know if anyone else out there suffers from a similar cough. There is no wheezing and all doctors have said that my lungs are clear as a bell, which rules out asthma. I do not smoke, though I used to, however this started prior to me picking up smoking. I am 24, and I believe this has been happening since I was about 19. In my late teens I smoked marijuana quite often so perhaps this could be an effect of that? If so, I have never seen anything like it in any of my friends or older people who have been lifetime pot smokers. I just really want to find something to stop my cough. It seems weird that it’s on sort of a schedule, though it doesn’t really coordinate with the changing of the seasons. If anyone has anything similar please let me know. I’ve yet to find anyone with the same problem.

Does anyone remember this Christmas cartoon?

There used to be a Christmas cartoon on with all these animals in the forest and there was this factory that was chopping down all the trees. The guy who was chopping them down was named sneer or something like that and he smoked a pipe and was so mean. They animals all were trying to stop him. Hahahaha. I know it sounds crazy but does that ring any bells by any chance?? It’s an old one. I have been describing it to every store I go to and nobody knows. L please help me!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I insane, I don’t know what to do.?

I think way too much into detail. I worry possibly a paranoia problem. My mind is racing all the time on how to improve what I am doing. Right now as I’m typing I’m enjoying the satisfying clicks of each button. It’s soothing to hear myself tap away at the keyboard. That might mean I’m also a narcissist. I do look in the mirror a lot. I don’t know why I do. I’m not much of a sight to see. I constantly think about the lines from a song called Time by Pink Floyd. The lyrics are: Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

These lyrics make so much sense and I feel like this is my life. I always try to catch up with sun…or anything but it always sinks. My motivation always sinks into a pit of despair and dullness with the doldrums of life. “How do I tackle this?” I am constantly asking. I was smoking weed one day and came home fell asleep the next day I felt dizzy and completely out of it. I was reading and studying things in this state and I enjoyed it. I wasn’t high but I felt relaxed and somewhat happy. For some reason though I wrote this in my notes: “People question other peoples motives and thirst for knowledge. I question why it matters to them. Maybe their the ones who should be questioned. They need to look inside and question their own motives. Maybe the people who are put down do what they do because they need to. Maybe it’s not because they want to do the things they do, maybe it’s because they have to. What’s wrong with saying black if someone else wants white. What’s wrong with saying: ‘No I will not conform.’? I’m glad a lot of people admit their problems or know them. But that’s not enough. They still question. They need to stop. Listen, look at the world. Then they need to see after they look. Then when they see they will realize. Upon realization they will understand and once they understand… Their need for questions will subside. And when they have a question they will first ask themselves this: ‘Am I not like them? And should it matter?”

See I right really weird things. I don’t know what to do. Now I feel like I’m trying to be insane. Maybe I’m conforming by posting this on the internet. Maybe I’m pathetic because I can’t fix myself without help. But I just can’t do it. The sun is sinking and I don’t know how to catch it. Am I doing this because I have nothing better to do? Do I really have no life? Am I saying all of this to get the image I’m insane? What the hell am I doing. I don’t wanna make people less of me. I hate that. I don’t want you to judge me please don’t. I don’t want to judge you. So am I fucked up? Please help…Just help.

Should I be worried about her? Please help me, my friend is doing drugs!?

Ok, so we’re both 12 years old. (yes, i know -__-)
Well, my friend told me a few days ago she was getting high, but i didn’t believe her because she always joke around about this stuff. But then this kid (he’s sorta an outsider, quiet, “emo” and like, just weird.) Iv’e known him since 5th grade (we’re all in 7th.) and he asked me if i would ever do Marijuana. I said no, but he kept asking me, “why not? everyone does it once in a while. What would you do if a friend did it?” So then i asked her, and she told me it was true, that she was doing it. Now, she doesn’t look like some hobo or whatever, she’s in honors algebra, and i guess she’s doing ok in school. I know she HAS done marijuana before, but only like once.

So, i found out the person who is selling it to them is one of my friends that i’ve known since kinder. I was shocked, and i didn’t know what to do, or why he would do it . I guess you could could say she looks up to me. She always comes up to me with her problems, we’ve been together through the bad times, im the only one that she really trusts. I told her that i was dissapointed, i didn’t know WHY she would do that, and that she was just being stupid. She said she would stop whenever she wanted, and that she would just smoke it one more time. I was still worried, but the bell rang and i had to go.

So, im really scared. Is marijuana really THAT bad for you? I mean, could you DIE?! Im really worried about her, but i don’t want to rat her out because i still want to be friends. Just to make it clear i will NEVER do any type of drugs, even if i was pressured. I really want to get them out of this, because i don’t want them to become addicts. She told me he was gunna buy some, and give half to her (because he likes her.) Yes, i know it sounds SO STUPID. but that’s middle school. PLEASE. HELP. ME. :l
