I am...not okay emotionally. Every time I slow down, all I want to do is cry. For no reason whatsoever. I'm with two other people, and still feel as if I'm living by myself.

I love my choice-nephew, but if I have to hear about'finding the ghost' one more time in the next couple of days, I swear I will scream. ... Hint: he'll start in again tomorrow because ghosts are his favorite things right now.

...

I just...I have a Star Wars game tonight, so I should be okay, but I just...I'm running out of cope fast, and I can't even retail therapy with needed things because no money. :( :(

*HUGGLES* Can you listen to some music that cheers you?

[we_are_spc]

Yeah, and it helps, but I need something to physically *do*. Like I don't contribute to the household much because *see abouve finances*...and my room mates are being good about it, but they are also not happy about it because I eat so damn much and they're basically pulling my weight along with the three of theirs. And their two year old is already eating like a kid twice his age.

And, dammit, I want my own comfort foods. *sighs*

Also, *snuggles back* ... that helps. I'm a tactile person. I have skin hunger like a boss...I know I keep saying that, but it's a thing) because, well, massage therapist. >.>

I've lived alone for years. After half a century of living with family who pretty much stomped on my self-worth constantly it was a step up. So sometimes. just sometimes, I put my hands on my own shoulders and hug myself and pretend it's someone else.

I think it helps fool the primitive part of my brain a little bit.

*HUGGLES YOU* I am warm and squishy, like a big cat.

...

Huh, I wonder if that would work if one of my headmates was...sort of in the arms a bit. *now to experiment*... :d

*curls up* I love big cats. I have a few as headmates (Hello shapeshifters...I just wish I had a bigger cat to hug here at home. *sighs*)

Don't get me wrong, I love my two smaller cats, but gawdammit, a mainecoon would be nice.

A Ragdoll cat would also be nice! My 'mutt' cat I'm pretty sure is half Ragdoll. Her mom stashed her kittens in my yard so I had a good look at her before she decided they didn't need her and she vanished. They're big, fluffy, and very people oriented. They tend to go limp when you pick them up because they just plain love affection.

*sends you an imaginary Ragdoll cat to hug*
