This too is sacred

If you need good thoughts, prayers, energy, whatever, please feel free to post it up here so we can help you out as best we can. Requests do not need to be FA/HAES related.

I could use some good thoughts right now; the stress of school and being away from my family is starting to get to me but I dont' want to b***h (anymore) to my hubby. He's got enough on his plate with school and Gabe full time. I'm going home tomorrow night for a visit, then again on Thanksgiving in two weeks, and then for good in November, but it's making me nuts to be here. Plus the stress of school. It's way busy. I have hours of homework every night and 8 hours of class nearly every day. Somewhere in there I have to remember to eat and sleep. The eating part is starting to fall by the wayside which is messing with my blood sugar and not making the handling of my stress any easier. I just...I just need a break. I'm going to get one; I can only hope it's enough to get me through again till Thanksgiving (in October in Canada).

Oh! Some good news though; my soon to be sister-in-law is in pre-labour. smile We should have new nephew in hopefully a day or two.

Good thread idea, Lady Eladrin, and tons of good vibes sent your way. whee Samhain is in a bit over a month, and I find that's the best time for chillaxing in the whole year. Unfotunately, I need to start taking charge and preparing some festivites this year, as apparently I am too old to trick or treat now. Boo. crying I look forward to it, though.

I could also use some good thoughts. I'm going through a bit of a rough patch; I have four five HS bumps on my thighs and I can't walk because of it, so I haven't been able to go out and walk or anything like that lately. It's agonizing. ;_; I don't know what I did to deserve this, but I wish I could make whatever it was better, even though the HS will never get better.

Also, relating to the above, I can't stand myself and am stuck in a circle of self-harm, self-pity and self-induced sickness. gonk AND to top it all off, it's nearing my period and I always get stress levels through the roof because I really, really don't want to be pregnant. I mean, I take my BC religiously and all but I'm still terrified. ;________;

I could definitely use some good thoughts today.

It's my third-year anniversary of being raped. I tried to make it a positive day-- my boyfriend bought me a cake and I baked some cookies, so we're going to try to have a fun night with the roommates and us. I'm still feeling uneasy, but I'm trying to calm down.

That sounds like a good idea, turbid. Just remember that intuitive eating can also apply to intuitive emoting. If you need to express your uneasiness (or any other emotion), it's good to get it out (or at least some of it) so you can move onto other things without being held back by it.

PS: I'm so jealous of your cake and cookies!!
I craved cookies and milk almost all summer...

Addressed to thread topic:
May I ask for prayers/good thoughts for my study abroad application?
I turned it in today. I'm trying to go for Spain for a whole year so I can major in Spanish. If this falls through, I can't major in Spanish. If I can't major in Spanish, I get to watch my dreams and life goals crumble away into nothingness.
People keep saying there's no way they can reject me, but they rejected me last year when I applied to be an RA when all the same people said I'd be a shoo-in. So I've definitely lost my confidence in that regard.
The application process for study abroad has a few steps.
Paper app -> approval? --> interview --> approval? --> application through the center that runs the program...
I'm only on step 1 D:

I need tons of prayers, happy thoughts, and hugs for my very good friend who was recently diagnosed with lupus. She's had a crummy past, and now this (and mysterious loss of vision in one eye) on top of all that's happened to her... I would really appreciate any positive, supportive energy for her.

((goodvibes)) for your friend, Navya. That's rough. Lupus is the disease with 1000 faces; hard to diagnose, harder to treat because for a lot of people it's different. *hugs for you too* It can be difficult to be a strong support for a good friend.

I have a friend with lupus who has been managing it for many years... it's different for everyone, but what I'm saying is that your friend shouldn't lose hope - it's possible to live a full and interesting life with lupus and not be hobbled by it. I'd link you to my friend's livejournal for proof, but I think it might be friends-only.

>w< Recently joined the guild, but seems like a really nice play to hang out.

I could actually use some encouragement ;^;
Tomorrow I'll be attending an anime convention in town. For my entire life I've been wanting to dress in a sexy-yet-cute way, and for the very first time I'll be doing it. But I dunno... wearing a skirt + garter belt...I've mixed feelings. I'm very excited about it, but at the same time I feel like everybody's gonna be moking me for being a tad overweight ;^;

Have fun and rock that convention!
