- How much time do you have...? Because that describes my late mother. She had severe depression, severe anxiety and was the personality disorder type "Help Rejecting Complainer"....(more) 6-6-2016 11:50am She was kind, smart, thoutful, witty, educated, generous and desperately needy for incessant attention which she tried to get by being a semi-invalid. A black cloud of disaster followed her and I used to think it was terribly unfair that all these terrible occurrences occurred to HER, time after time. Now I now that she brought much of it upon herself. And in her last 15 years of a long life, I had to pull away emotionally. I felt like I was suffocating, and she was literally "UN-comfortable".
- someone who doesn't get it. Never sees things for what they really are. Constantly having bad luck but never takes responsibility for their choices that lead to the "bad luck." 6-6-2016 11:54am
