To me... when I think about my situation and I read about yours here... I can't stop thinking "how amazingly powerful the human brain is, and the CNS per total".

Just a few miligrams of neurotransmitters X and Y and hormone Z alters your entire perception and behavior and grasp on things in such a substantial way...

Also, how powerful this personal bonding thing is... but I tell you what: if you were dumb or really careless, you would suffer no such things as these.

The ability to suffer in this way just proves to you and everybody else what kind of person you really are in your kernel, in my opinion. Maybe it will make a positive difference at the right moment.

That sucks LBSS. Sorry.

You prob know this already but it's normal to have bad training when something like this happens. There was that study not too long ago that showed ppl suffering serious emotional setbacks show the same sort of symptoms as those who've suffered physical trauma eg in an accident. I dont remember the details or even pretend to understand them though.

Raptor why are you comparing your situations bro, he was in an actual relationship not some made up infatuation thing. His situation is different from yours, mainly because yours is completely self created and sustained.

Training for balance in GPP and SPP.

today in unexpected consequences of grief: my appetite has gone down. i've made myself the same breakfast 5-7 days a week* for probably 4 years: a smoothie made from frozen strawberries and blueberries, two scoops of WPC, a spoonful of peanut butter (used to use yogurt but i like PB better), water, and a banana. it's a great breakfast. this morning, for the first time that i can remember, i couldn't finish it. i tried, it tasted good, but i was just plain full and i poured about 1/3 of it down the drain.

MattA, i admit to having had the thought, "well, i guess i can finally find out what online dating and tinder and stuff is like." but honestly (1) my libido is nonexistent right now, i'm not sure i could get it up even if i found myself in an insane porno scenario where a hot woman was basically forcing herself on me,** and (2) it's way too soon, the very thought makes me feel sick. i'm still stuck on the fact that i won't see her or do the things i was hoping to do with her this weekend. in time, i guess.

*except when i'm on the road, obviously
**it's funny because while we were together i would fantasize about other women all the time -- an old colleague who is literally my physical archetype for hotness, that one hot bartender at that bar, whoever -- and all of that is gone right now. i literally can barely think about sex.

also, in fairness to raptor, my guess from over here on the other side of the internet is that he's clinically depressed. that shit sucks and is real. so while it's hard to read about this woman-idea that he fantasizes about and pines for, i also can't judge him for the way he's feeling.

in comparison, i am merely grieving and very sad. there is a gigantic, gaping chasm between that and true depression.

Well I deactivated my facebook account and just stayed in bed in the last few days. I can't do anything. I can't even watch an NBA game. I pause in the 2nd quarter or so and just sit there doing nothing.

The last thing you should expect from me is logical thinking. I was supposed to learn Java in a course and that is light years away from where I'm at now mentally. 8 months of every day burning and crying is Hell on Earth to put it mildly.

Anyway, topic hijack /off

Who the fuck said anything about "comparing my situation to his"?

And why are you commenting on my situation like you know everything about it? You don't know jack shit, nobody here does except a few things I've said about it. Trust me, you don't. And even if you did, I don't care what your opinion is. Even if I have 0.1% chances of being with her, I will take them.

But no, I wasn't comparing his situation to mine's and no, you don't know my situation.

raptor, the way you describe yourself makes you sound depressed. if you're not, that's great! i obviously don't know.

and yeah it was clear that you weren't comparing your situation to mine. i think it's just an accident of timing.

I obviously am VERY depressed. Depressed as in borderline crazy.

Stayed away from computers and any kind of "social activity" (including talking to her) this week. I'm just completely exhausted.

Finally got my shit together and just submitted my first application for an overseas job. This one happens to be in Jakarta. I'm not super well-qualified on paper (although I do think I'd do well if I got it, and it's a cool-sounding job) so I don't have my hopes too high but it's good to just get the ball rolling on something that I've been dreaming about and talking about since I was a teenager. That wanderlust and need to work abroad before I settle down is what drove a wedge between my now-ex and I. She is firmly planted and I just can't be yet. Anyway, we'll see what happens.

ETA: forgot i played tennis on sunday. don't think it had anything to do with why i was so dead last night, though.

anyway, sunday:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- tennis x ~75 mins
rusty but not catastrophically so. got up a good sweat, was huffing a bit on some long rallies. my dad may not be too quick anymore (makes sense at 64) but he can yank me around the court if he gets into a rhythm.

- stretch

then 6/1:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right forearm
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: dead

- warm up

- ME DLRVJ
lol no. this was not happening today. could barely touch the rim off SVJ, legs felt like lead, so tired.

- depth jumps @18" x 4,4
glacial

- rudiment hops

fuck it. terrible workout. i slept badly last night but that's not enough to explain the shittiness. oh well. better luck tomorrow.

yeah it's not a break in our relationship, just a break in communication to give ourselves time to adjust to being away from each other. i don't think either of us wants to never speak to the other again, we still love each other, it's just that we want/need different things right now.

i know this feel. like totally.
Especially when one is at the age when peers start getting hitched and stuff, so it will take a strong girl to not be affected by whatever she sees.

MENTAL STATE: okay
