Hi countess! its good to see you around the forum again! was wondering what happened to you! Sorry to hear you are sick. That sucks that you can see a doc cause you have no medical cover. Do you not have gp's? Or are they just too expensive? Good to hear that you son is coming home. You must be really excited about seeing him! Hope he gives you a big hug. you deserve it. (esp after that many lousy men!)

Hmm...You're a loser? Nah. I'm more of a loser than you are. And I don't want to hear that I'm not. Not listening....Lalalalalalalala!!!

Well, it's good that your son is coming home.

Maybe that "light" will bright up your life than just brighting up in that little corner of your soul.

Wow...I think that this is the longest comment I've ever written. Word.

Hi Countess,

I am very glad to see that you are back and will not give up on us! I wish there were something we could do to make things better for you or help you feel better apart from sending good thoughts.

I think you are being rather unfair to yourself when you call yourself a loser, stupid or talentless. Please do not forget that you do not need other people (men, collagues and even your son -even though children are a great blessing) to make your life worth-living. You are a caring and kind humanbeing with a passion and talent for writing. This is a fact which will not change whether you get published or meet the perfect guy or not.

OH I’m so glad you’re back. That was a long absence. You know I feel just like you. Only I don’t feel like a looser, but like a dork. Once I accepted that things were very much happier for me. You can’t be a looser when you are so much more intelligent and insightful that all of the people around you. And as for feeling like an idiot when you are here - who doesn’t sometimes!! Especially when there are 14 and 17 and 20 year olds who have already read the universe and annualized it and made an A+ on the paper. It makes me think of the time one of my children read me a story about trees that was very interesting and I asked if she thought that was true. She said “Well, it’s expository non-fiction so it must be factual.” She was in the second grade. I just tried to look cool like “Oh well, of course!”

then you should read MY blog! short, two line entries with no substance, lol. :p I'd love to be a writer, but I.."haven't developed that talent, yet". :) And I've read a few books, I have good ENGLISH skills, but as for creative writing, nope, not yet.

Good luck with everything.

OMGA, Countess, what kind of a statement is that? "I am working on accepting the fact that I am a loser." ??? If you are a loser than what, pray tell, is everyone else? If you are a loser, what am I? I'm a sixteen year old teenager with approximately half the knowledge you do and I'm considered a whiz kid by the people I know personally. Which is utterly ridiculous. You're well-read, a great writer, and a caring human being. Loser indeed! Bah humbug! I don't believe you.................That said, I'm really glad that you haven't given up on us. You're far too valuable to commit virtual suicide. And having your son come home will be lovely for you I'm sure. He must miss you tremendously.............
About the sins of the father descending on the son, that's rather odd. Approaching this from the Briggs-Meyers perspective, you're a very feeling person who is an extreme introvert. The introvert I sympathise with but the feeling...that's hard. I know it is because my Mom's a feeler and she cares for everyone. Maybe it'll be a bit of an encouragement to you that I don't care deeply for every single one of my acquaintances but I do care deeply about you and some others on this site. That too doesn't make sense because I've met people somewhat like you and thought they were wimps. I've yet to think that of you. Love and prayers (and sorry for the sermon I preach at you a lot don't I? I'm sorry, but lots of support from me, ok?) --Andya.

Countess, it is good to see you returned. I was sitting to write you a PM, but I can't say if that is creepy or not. It is good that your son will be returning to you. Everyone needs something to cling to, and a child is a wonderful gift. As for accepting that you are a loser... what kind of a thing is this to think. Meeting the correct man or getting published will not alter what it is that you feel about yourself. Just because these things have not happened does not mean that you are less than what you were. You need to sit and ask yourself what the most important things are in your life. Do you write from a need to be published, or is writing the whole pleasure? Do you need the right man to make you happy, or are you hoping that the right person will make you forget something you have no wish to think about or confront? You seem like a kind and compassionate person. There are people here who love your writing, and look foward to reading your thoughts. These are not the trappings of a loser. Being acknowledged by others is not going to fix your dissatisfaction until you can admit to yourself that you are not the loser that you claim to be. You need to first be happy with yourself before others will be happy with you. I pray that you can find some peace and that you will not continue to try and leave us. You are in my thoughts ~Meg~

Hi Countess, You're still here; we're still here. Let's try to keep it that way. Hm?
Working on convincing yourself you're a loser? Doesn't sound good to me, and I don't think it will have the good effects you expect. Could you possibly try convincing yourself instead that you are better than you think you are? At least by a little, and then work it from there? That'll be harder, because you'll have to look for something good about yourself. We can see your good points, but it is you who has to see them, or at least one for a start. Your son will see good things about you I'm sure. Listen. And have faith that they are there. Try tiny steps, upward, the hard direction; not downward, the easy direction. But above all, please keep coming back. We need you.

I could write a million things about how glad I am to see that you have AT LAST posted, but I think I will just spare everyone's eyes and say YAYAYAYA -- she's back!! I, for one, really and truly missed ya, Countess. As for comparing yourself to 'us' -- there is no comparison -- you are YOU, a special, very high IQ, super writer, and super person. What more can I add (tons, but I said I'd be brief)? And I am glad that your son is returning soon to you. Please get well soon, and keep in touch here. So many believe in you, and love your style. Your friend (yah, you are stuck with me, lol), Kizzo

You're a winner in my book Countess. You're a decent warm lady with a great wit, and that's a winner, a superbowl winner. Nice to see you back.

I thank God you're back. I've been slightly drama queening your absence. You know it's bad when I whine to the long suffering one. In God's eyes we are ALL losers --which is why He saves us because He loves us anyway. You have more talent, compassion and heart then I will ever have and I envy you that. Knowing you're out there makes my day brighter (whether you choose to believe that or not it's true none the less). I need to know you're okay. I'm two panic attacks and an imagined rejection from losing it--but the peace of God really does pass understanding so I'm still here and my selfish prayer has been answered. You're back you're back and you son is too. All the best. Rich

Yay! You're back! I've missed you and those hilarious stories of yours!
