Why are you unhappy today?

Seemed fitting that the opposite also be represented here on TT. Especially since I happen to be happy and unhappy today all at the same time.

Me, I am unhappy today because I cannot sleep. I am not one to suffer from insomnia, but lately, I really have trouble sleeping and when I do sleep it isn't exactly restful. Helpful hints appreciated.

What's up with you?

PS: Psychobabel would require more than I am allowed to post. Thanks for the help, but let's keep this on the lighter side shall we?

its 6:17 am, and I am on my way to work! And I don't know what I want to do with my life.

yeah, this is different than the vent! Lets try to keep this going.

I am unhappy because I need to show City Hall at Unterschleissheim our lease so that I can register - seems too many Munchkins register in the bacon belt around the city for cheaper car insurance etc. So I have to take time off work again on Friday to complete the registration. But I am happy because Haggis Junior is old enough to register herself, time she learned to deal with beaurocracy.

Best friend email saying she misses me, while Elliot Smith is singing in the background "now there is a ghost in every town..."

Although I am not unhappy really just wish she was here so we could go hang out . The only girl to accept me and put up with all my BS.

Don't want to get out of bed today, need a day just for myself, not for everyone else. Taking the day to myself, but feeling guilty as hell about it. But it's just one of those days where I want to pull the covers over my head and hide from the world, and damn, I'm gonna do it!

I wouldn't say I was unhappy. More like grumpy. Everyone is off to warmer places and I am here in the cold (well not 30°) and I have to work. Not fair. I think I need a new jet set career.

@Eurovol, did you try out all the tips on insomnia thread? Taking a hot bath, drinking teas for relaxing, exercising regularly, writing down all the things that worry you on a notepad before you hit the bed etc etc? I drink milk or eat yoghurt if I can't sleep, I get very sleepy after I eat that kind of food.

Happy: Cause it's a dry and sunny day, can go downtown to have lunch with buddies
Unhappy: My vocal chords are knocked off because of the flu

i'm unhappy cause i have had stomach stomach issues since sunday. i feel like a good, long, drawn-out fart would help me, but i cannot.

Ginger ale cures all my stomache woes. Hope ya feel better.

@ elfenstar

what ever you do, don't force it, else things might get a lot worse.

Mr. Iwao Takamoto has died. Who is he you may ask? He is/ well was Mr Scooby Doo (and responsible for a bunch of other cartoons and shows as well).

I am unhappy because I have been sick for a week with a cold/flu and now it is turning into a terrible cough/sinus infection, all the while my sister and her boyfriend were here to visit and I was unable to do everything I wanted to do with them. Now I am physically sick and homesick! Woe is me! I need to get out of the house!

See you at the Tacos y Tequila on Saturday!!!

Is this because of nature or nurture?

Sounds like the guy who took laxative instead of decongestant. The doctor asks him, "And, is the cough any better?"
The guys answers, "Doc, I don't dare!"
@ Elfenstar - Drink some bubbly water and belch, it might help.

Elfenstar - Peppermint tea is also good for irritable bowel syndrome - might help with your discomfort.

I'm not so much unhappy but very discontent. I just want to spend time with the people I want to spend time with, rather than having to spend time with people I have to!

I am unhappy today because I have NO English TV My digi box decided to die on it's arse, Been without it for a week, and I cannot live without my English TV here it's the only thing that keeps me sane.

I am sad today because after an unbelievable 3 weeks holiday with my boyfriend he has returned to Canada...and I won't see him for 4 months

But I am trying to be happy because in 4 months we won't need to be apart again...

@Elfenstar, buy a frozen bag or carton of Gemüsesuppe from your nearest supermarket, defrost, grind it with a mixer, add 3 cups of water, stir.
Heat it up and drink it, you will be going to the bathroom and farting like there is no tomorrow.

Elf, Lefax is what you want. Drug-free, it works only physically - especially good for when antibiotics knock your digestion out of sorts. Taste minty and available at any pharmacy.

I'm miffed after moving to a new apartment last weekend, that a) the DSL is not connected yet (no surprise) and b) some busy-body has already put a photocopied newspaper article entitled "Mieterpflichten haben keinen Winterurlaub" in my mailbox with certain bits highlighted!!! WTF?

sGb27, part b ) sounds more like a vent topic. Photocopy the paper with the highlights and put it in everyone else's mailbox with a request for English translation.
About part a ): Keep on calling, give them your ticket or order number and moan like hell. Tell them you'll lose your job if you can't get on the internet.

I'm running my friends childrens nursery for the day while she is on a course (something I do quite regularly for her). But everytime I do it something drastic always happens and of course today is no different! . Got spaghetti chucked at me which landed all over my WHITE jumper. And some little brat threw brick at another little brat which missed, bounced of the glass partition and cracked it, bounced off of that and hit me in the head. I HATE KIDS!!!

Simply slip the photocopied newspaper into the mailbox of a neighbour whom you are not fond of.
I had this neigbour constantly slip pieces of paper into my mailbox which read "Please make sure that you do not overwater your pot plants as the water drips down and stains my windows" The punchline is ...I had no freaking pot plants on my balcony.

That reminds me of a neighbour where I used to live who compained every time we watered the balcony, cos the water would drip down... Even though it didn't drip that much, if at all (I was careful), she got increasingly ratty about it, until I sweetly pointed out that it also drips when it rains, and that I couldn't do anything about that... Peace and quiet after that.

My husband contracts up & he wants to move back to the US. I am having the time of my life & i have no desire to live where his family lives.

I'm sorry but this post made my day. I'm no longer unhappy because I know the no matter how miserable I am, I will never be a miserable as this.

I don't have a husband with a contract to have the time of my life on.

I am feeling unhappy today because I am starting to feel ill the day before going off for a couple of days of outdoor activities in the mountains. Why oh why? Must have been the crap weather which made me ill. God I hate the weather in this country.

my bosses didn't fire me!
gotta work harder next time, but did get the abmahnung thingie!

One week till I leave

today is Thursday and not Friday

My tummy hurts and it is making me miserable. I just had a cup of tea and it didn't help.

it's nice and sunny outside, and i'm in the office and likely to be here all day

Just think of the cocktails apfelschorle tonight Lassie... Jenny and I should be there from around 6 drowning our sorrows

If you try and lead me astray and onto the booze i will be even more unhappy

If I didn't try and you didn't resist, then it wouldn't be much fun would it!

As I am still not sleeping well (even went to the doctor for little helpers), I am too tired to be unhappy and that makes me unhappy.

Lame and self-pitying moan removed in favour of getting a grip. Jesus. I blame the weather.

because I have come to the conclusion I cannot influence this relationship any further and I must leave. This means saying goodbye to regular contact with the most wonderful three year old girl I have ever met ( fathers Prejudice). But I cannot do anything to make it better anymore I have tried everything.,

Iain, sorry to hear of your situation. It must be so hard, but I'm glad you've come to a decision that you feel is right. Hope you can work it so you see your daughter as often as possible.

Not unhappy as such, but low as going back home for Grandma's funeral tomorrow.

I'm not happy cos I've just had my mother on the phone for over an hour bitching about what a 'shit' time she had while she visited us here over Christmas.

However, this is nothing compared to what you're going through Iain - I hope it all works out well in the end.
My parents divorced when I was quite young, my mother is so bitter about the whole thing, I haven't the heart to tell her I've been in touch with my father for the last 15 years.

I've gone and bought a new administration program - recommended highly by others in my field.
The documentation is non-existant, the program itself designed by a German male engineer = meaning it is not intuitive for an American blonde chaotic female to figure out
Maybe it's my natural allergy to anything involving numbers. now I have a killer headache.

Chin up Iain.

So sorry Iain - but maybe for the best in the long run. Keep strong.

Just thinking about that makes me unhappy. I feel sorry that that had to happen to you or anybody.

Do I need a reason to be unhappy?
I'm joining the Iain Support Group and hoping that he can reach an agreement on visiting rights. The thought of that makes me feel better.

Visitation can be worked out relatively easily. So far for us at least. There is hope - just keep being as civil and nice as humanely possible. Keep a cool head, chin up, and don't give in to temptation to fight about it irrationally.

hope it turns out for all of you (Iain, DDBUg, etc).

my unhappy reasons seem pitiful compared to your so i guess i should be grateful!


my unhappy reasons- still unemployed, broke (and in debt), not liking being seperated from my boyfriend.

Sorry to hear everyone's news above. At least we all have TT!
I am unhappy today as I would like to contact an very old friend from years ago and I am having trouble stalking her (unlike me she does not blab her personal life all over the net ). Still, I think I have tracked her down on myspace and sent her an email, hope she responds (no, we have no mutual friends or such). Sigh, I hate feeling rejected.
