I'm plagued by bad memories of a friendship/relationship that came crashing down from a lot of betrayal. Worst is that we can no longer talk because I get too upset, even though he still feels like one of my best friends. And his girlfriend is online at a bunch of the same places as I am, and she's always popping up. She's unavoidable and I feel haunted by the whole thing. I used to know how to be independent, but now I just want to drown out the horrible memories of these incidents:( I keep considering ECT for it (the problems have been going on nearly a year).

Unico is a great movie.

Sounds like a friendship I had a while ago. I just stopped talking to the other person. Funny thing, heh, they were a big fan of the Unico movies.

Is there any way you could put her on ignore on those sites?

Im sorru it turned out that way.

Maybe this will make you feel better

Title: Artist: STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN Song: Treasure of You Album: HEAVEN IN THE REAL WORLD (1994) - ID: 455210 - Date and time (posted): 2004-09-01 19:03:06

Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice
That heartsick look in your eyes
You hide it very well, but I've got the same disguise
I know from all you see around you
You feel worth a very small price



So plain and ordinary, but there's a pearl inside

And if you look in the mirror in the light of the truth
You'll see there's really nothing you could say or do
To make you worth more to the One who made you

CHORUS
Your are a treasure
Worth more than anything under the sun or the moon
God's greatest treasure
Is the treasure of you

The rich man treasures gold and silver
The wise man, his knowledge of truth
Some will hold to memories and some will cling to youth
But the one who carved out the oceans
And painted the stars in the sky
You are His prized creation, the apple of His eye
There's no one else in the world who could take your place
Just the thought of you brings a smile to His face
God loves you with amazing grace

(Chorus)

BRIDGE
So take a look in the mirror in the light of the truth
Oh, yes it's true
See there's nothing more you can say or do
God loves the way He created you

(Chorus)

From the T to the R to the E to the A to the S to the U to the R to the E
God made everything and everything He made
More than anything He treasures you and me
Check in in the mirror in the light of the truth
There is nothing you will ever say and nothing you will do
The will ever make God care more than He does for the treasure
God's treasure is you

having young'ns around, I first thought of 'Teardrops on my guitar'...or whatever it's called.

If someone has done that much betrayal, it makes you wonder what they consider friendship to be.

Sometimes I think they just don't understand what they're doing and that it's wrong.

ECT sounds awful. I guess there are many schools of though on the issue, but I think of it as being a very sad way of trying to fix a problem. Your memories make you who you are, good and bad. I'd really urge you to not go with ECT.
