unfortunately there are times like this. hopefully your man will be there for you when you need him also just like you were there for him.

It always happens at once doesn't it? And isn't it one person who people unload everything on?

Maybe they all unload on you cause you are nice, will actually listen and give advice. Or maybe its cause this is allowed to happen. The big question is are they there for you when you need to talk?

I hear you about empathy fatigue. There is only so much that can be given, especially when your own matters need to be taken care of.

as always, well said. stylee, your situation (besides the whole bf thing) sounds similar to me.. i always like to think of it this way.. that they think of you as a good 'nuf friend to tell such things to.. i've been empathy drained many times before, heh, and what I usually do is just vent to someone else, as you have done here.. works for me..

hope everything works out for you

thanks everyone

i just needed someone to complain to last night. i'm not usually one to talk about my friends, but they are all driving me crazy right now with thier problems. and i guess i give good advice (which isn't anything great, i just tell them to shut up and get over it

) they just like to hear it from me i guess.

anyway, i'm off to do my road rallye, and i'm even sicker today, but thats not going to bring me down!!

wahoooooooo

God, was a mirror implanted in my computer or something because I know EXACTLY how you feel. Too many times I felt I was the middle woman of all my friend's problems and I just had to get away from it all.

Take a breather when you have days like that! Turn off your phone, let it ring...and get some sleep.

Good observation there!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how much of a chick I really am. But honestly, people go to girls for advice ALL of the time, and recently people have been coming to me yet again for advice. Blah.
