what else could go wrong?
 
I'm at a loss. My gf dumped me and has declared there's "no way" that we'd ever get back together even though I did nothing wrong and she says she doesn't know why (oh and we're also not supposed to speak to eachother until SHE gets used to it), my best friend just found out she might have breast cancer, my friend since the 6th grade called me a "freak" for being gay (even though she's known for like 6 years), a guy in class made an all-out attack on people of my "lifestyle", our apt flooded, and i broke a 3 year-streak of being drug free on sat.

so! I ask you guys: what else can happen? I don't know, I think I'm becoming overwhelmed. But! I want to be prepared, so put it here. What? What else could possibly go wrong?

You are asking the wrong question. Don't ask what can go wrong. Think about how more probable something going right is now. Maybe your gf had to dump you in order for you to find the love of your life(I'm not saying she'd know that, but 'yknow what I mean). Maybe your best friend will work so hard to beat cancer that she finds and/or becomes the cure for all types. Maybe your apt. flooded so that you wouldn't be killed from carbonmonoxide poisoning. Thinking thoughts set events in motion, and if you think about how much worse your life can get, it'll get however much worse you think it will. If you think about how much better your life will get because of these downers, it'll get much better.

hmm, not sure what advice i can give, but whenever life gets me down, i look at this picture and that tends to make me feel a little better.

It could be worse. You could be a Prinny.

All I can say it to persevere. With so many awful things like that happening, I'm sure something good has to come out of it. Be strong!

Incidently, I know a girl much like you. She's a lesbian as well, and we talk a lot. We'd be playing City of Heroes as well, but I'm deployed overseas for the time being. She also likes poetry and has something of a dark personality. I...think she might be a similar mind that you can talk with if you want. I wouldn't've mentioned her if it wasn't for that "2QT2BSTR8" thing you have. She has that, too.

You could be told by a doctor you're dying tommorrow. Wouldn't that be worse?

Try to look at the positive like Elminster_Amaur said. Never ask yourself what could be worse, it always gets worse when you ask yourself that question. It's like some god up there goes "ha, you want to see worse, i'll smite your dog dead, man!" or something along those lines.

I'm sorry about your girlfriend and your friends that aren't understanding. My family are pentecostal and don't approve of any lifestyle I have if it doesn't fit into their mold so I semi understand.. (Not saying I do, just in some form.) I really hope your friend gets better. I know it's hard, dealing with someone close to you having that kind of disease. But it is curable, my grandmother is a example of that. Just be there for her.

Just hang in there. :hugs: Life will get better. I know this week i've been stressing out myself. I'm doing 9 weeks of schoolwork in one week because i'm a huge procrastinator (don't ask) and some other things going on. Yesterday, I freaked out so much I ended up taking a 3 hour nap in the middle of my day to avoid people. But, i'm staying positive! I can get through this week and so can you! Chin up, hon. You'll make it through.

Something could always go worse, but there's no point in worrying about that! Why don't you rather think about what could go better or what could turn out for the best?

And just to point out...If some asshole doesen't eprove of you being gay, then the hell with them! And as to your friend...If she was really angry then she might not have really ment what she said.

Think positive!

Stick with you friends. Giver her all the support you can. I met the love of my life while supporting and praying (I'm Budhist, I don't do this unless its very serious) her through the time she had cancer. Giver her all the support you can, it will increase your friendship greatly. I'm not good with relationships (I've only been in the afore mentioned one) and break ups. For the bigot just say to hell with him, its your life, don't care about what other people think of your decisions, this is how I deal with people who ever problems understanding why I gave up Christianity.

Sorry if it seems like I'm talking about myself, I'm just trying to give you examples from my life, and whatnot.

You could lose your legs in a car accident. That would be much worse.

Funka Genocide 11-23-2004 10:37 AM

well, you could be an emotionally repressed gay man in the military. not that I would know anything about that though...

sometime life just piles on the bullshit, and its time like those you must develop a taste for feces.

wait, no... thats not right at all...

I think the best course of action is to just have good old fashioned teary eyed nervous breakdown, and then start from scratch. as long as you have the will to start over again its ok to fall apart, just for a little while. It helps to relieve any pent up emotioanl stress, sort of like wiping the slate clean.

If thats not good for you, just be happy you have the conviction to live your life the way you want to, that makes you far more successful than a lot of people (myself included), in my opinion at least.

good luck!

Zombies could break down your door and eat you, but not eat you entirely so that you are respawned as the living dead, a plague upon all humanity, to spread your vile undeadness through the world until zombies become the dominate speices on the Earth and mankind is nothing but a memory.

<_<

>_>

What? You asked what else could go wrong? What's wrong with going all out about it?

Seriously, though, just stay the course, and everything will work out in the end. Forget the guy in class, he just want's to look cool by putting you down. The girlfriend thing...I've noticed that what happened to you seems to happen rather often...at least to my friends. As for the drug thing...if you are really worried about it, get help. I know from experience that it is hard to break old habits if you get back into them, so try to stop it there if you are serious about not going back to it.

And keep a shotgun by your bed...just in case zombies do break down your door... :D
