Weird
Why do I always get weird right before an anniversary? It happened with 5 and 6, and now its happening at 7(mo). I feel very sensitive, I take everything personally, I'm cranky and tired, I'm sitting in my car here before work, read a post on FB someone posted on overcrowded animal shelters and euthanizing dogs and burst out crying. This friend that I'm "fond" of keeps asking me out on the weekends, then backing out, and it hurts so much today. I just wanna crawl back to bed, but I have a job to get done. I'm feeling hurt, angry and just want to close up inside :'(.

Glad you're here!
I think life is life - I too get the ups and downs, sometimes oriented around timeframes and sometimes not.
Who knows
we just keep truckin onnnnnn!
I will say I got off the whole virtual BS of FB and don't miss it a bit. All it did was make me feel rotten about someone else's made up reality. In this case, there is indeed much sadness at times, why do I want to seek it out????
Kind Regards friend,
FlyN

I had to realize that many things in
this world and in life I have to accept
them as is. I don't always like it, but
I have no control over them. No control
over people, places and things.
I too don't like to hear or read about
animals that are cruely treated or put
down for what ever reason there is. To
avoid feeling sad or affected by that kind
of news would be to not read it.
Sometimes its hard not to, because there
is so much cruelty out there in the world
that its unavoidable to read. In fact I just
had to delete articles relating to animal
cruelty. Then......
On my part, I make sure that any animals
whether large or small, I take care of them
if I can. Such as, all my birds I feed in my
yard. I look in my pool to save spiders, frogs,
bees, or anything that looks like it needs
saving.
And be kind to animals that you come
in contact with. That in itself is comforting
and positive. Right?
As far as relationships, for me I realize
in recovery that if things don't go my
way then it's probabaly a sign from Above
that He is watching over me and is guiding
me into a better direction then to the one
I want.
Not everything I want is really what I
need in my life. So I watch for small
signs like the one your going thru with
the person asking you out and not following
thru with it.
It is important for me to stay on
course with my recovery program
and in time If im meant to have
some certain person, place or thing
in my life that is healthy for me and
my recovery, then it will be.
Of course this is how it has and still
works for me in recovery.

I am not trying to minimize what you are going thru, but I don't think t has to do with your anniversaries. Congrats on 7 months!! I think it is a series of things that have culminated into today. Take each day, hour, minute and celebrate your sobriety.
