Shoot me I'm an idiot

[Willingham]

Please...pull the trigger.

Short story:

chased a SW
we became an item
she is an addict
I tried to help her
time went by
she is the same
I'm broke
she is still sellin
there isn't enough money on the planet to keep her happy
I'm an idiot

Thanks for listening. Don't touch her guys I'll get upset.

No argument here ...but don't beat yourself up too much. There is nothing wrong with caring and trying to help someone ... even if they don't see it ... You're a better person for trying.

Yes. Yes you are. Sorry I don't have anything helpful to add, but frankly you have nobody to blame but yourself. It sucks, and I feel bad for you, but you should have known better.

 

[Willingham]

I'm still singing the same song. Thats why I need someone to put me out of my misery

That's very true, but you can't help somebody who doesn't want to be helped, and when it's clear that somebody doesn't want to be helped (which it usually is) you're better off not getting emotionally involved, because nothing good will come of it.

I agree ... that's why the rest of the line was:

...even if they don't see it ...

I'm just saying that being a caring person is nothing to be ashamed of.

Why not talk to a professional about it? It seems to be a better alternative than "offing yourself" both literally and figuratively. BTW some of these services are free.

Theres no point helping someone who doesnt want to be helped. You tried, dont feel too bad about it.

^That's the best advice yet; get to the root of your problem, so you don't continue repeating the same pattern.

Some would say that because we are human, we are doomed to repeat our mistakes.

 

[sonoman]

^Not so; that's a highly deterministic view.

This is strike 2 for me. There won't be a third.

read the bestseller 'Codependent No More'

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0894864025?ie=UTF8&tag=shanelycom-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0894864025

This book is good for people who find themselves depressed and needing some insight on why they feel the way they do. After reading this book the other book by Melody Beattie "Beyond Codepedency" will help you fix the codependent problem. These books will help anyone who is dealing with an alcoholic relationship or any other dependent relationship. If you find yourself caretaking all the time, ie: thinking or feeling responsible for other people, feel it is your responsiblity to help other people solve their problems, feel needy people are always attracted to you, and feeling unappreciated or used; or you have weak boundaries with the people in your life; you have dependency issues; poor communication; and low self-worth- you are codependent. I didn't think I was, but this book laied my life out perfectly. If you are feeling crazy for the way you are feeling read this book and you will understand why you are feeling the way you are. It is normal it is just you are a codependent person and you need to fix that.

Co-dependency

^That's it... that's the term I was trying to think of. That said, co-dependency is not necessarily easy to diagnose; see a counsellor/therapist. There's no harm or shame in doing so.
