Thank you fooddude. You are good at making me smile
see? You are correct about vanquishing the seed of the problem before it runs rampant. We all know too well what happens when people do not vent their frustrations... (((((Food4thought)))))

The kindness of strangers, yes...perhaps I could consider friends too?

Mysteria...
Find a safe vent for the frustration, you should be upset that someone did a hit-and-run to your car. I would blow a gasket, scream and shout, curse, swear, then when all the adrenalin wears off, just deal with it. Don't pack the rage around, it is like a weed that grows, best to throw the seed out than have to pull the mature plant by the roots. Then focus on positives, watch funny movies, do things that make you happy to kick start your good brain chemicals. I hope this helps.

I am finding to my tears of joy warmth and loving-yummy-ness from most yummy bloggers hither and yon! I am really working hard at keeping my head over water lately. Like the ocean got deeper or something.
I'm chipping away and happily finding more energy to think about more painting expression. Thank you....BDB

Lovely sweet thoughts full of heart. Nice. I have such a hard time remembering the things i am supposed to be repeating to myself when i am under the influence of mood swings. My job is to take the words of wisdom and carry them over the the part of me that takes over when i'm feeling my worst. Thank you avant-garde.

Mysteria,
It is hard not to feel overwhelmed by these things, accepting that it happened helps, usually in my case, and taking a little time to let the initial panic raeaction settle down. Now, there's the poor crumpled car to deal with. Breaking down each step, making a phone call, maybe not to the police directly but to a friendly customer service person to get help on how to take the next step helps me with situations like this.
As for the thoughts, what brightness the world would lose without your paintings.

I know I am T O T A L L Y obsessing on it. It is just so damn disappointing! I mean that really worries me that i can get all friggin bent out of shape over it so to speak. It is a symbol of the force I have been wrestling with. Staring at me poking me in the eye. Reminding me of the ugly things in the world. It is a car for goodness sake. I should just be able to say whatever! But It is like the camel with the last straw. I am already so overloaded with hardship, I cannot handle even the slightest change in the load...Oh! Thanks for letting me vent on all over...whew, i'm all beat...

Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment...You know the way the police treat crime in this city is atroticious. When it comes to cars they have VERY little time to talk to you and when the do you end up feeling like a suspect in your own case! Sheesh! It is all so exhausting for my DrJPT, I'm just trying to take care of myself and when I have little setbacks like this they take on a supersize and bowl me over... I just wish i would not take things so personallly. I can't help thinking what a mean place we live in. I've had an over exposure to varying degrees of hell in my life i might say and sheesh....i just get so tired. i think what i need is a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on and milk and cookies.... Thanks again DrJPT. You're a gem of a doll

Mysteria,
I have not commented up to now, for a number of reasons. The main one being, I just don't have the words!
This depression, this pain, this rage; It isn't going to go away or be healed by a few sweet words about faithfullness and forgiveness. If it were that easy, we would've done it by now, right? So, I can only say;
I wish I had the words to ease your pain,
I wish I had the words to quell your rage.
But, I know just as well as you do,
that it would take more than words on a page.
Thinking of you!
Angel

You feel powerless against these forces because you envision yourself being unable to combat them. Why not bless them and set them free? You will then have your power. You cannot change things that happen, but you can decide not to be a victim to them. Lots of luck to you.

You have to chase those demons away somehow. The other day I was letting mine take over and I was punishing myself about things of now and the past. Then I thought to myself it is totally crazy. I have given enough room to bad thoughts and now I must give room to other thoughts. It came to a head when I pulled out onto a road and a car nearly hit me. Of course they looked at me as if I was all wrong and I doubt they felt any guilt for coming around a blind corner at speed.
Do what you can re the car. Report the info you have. Do what you can and then let it go

If You Can, In My Opinion, Focus on Solving One Thing at a Time
Report the incident to your insurance company. I think a police report is required to verify that it was a hit and run and to establish that the other person left the scene of the accident. Only think and do the things over which you have and can control.
If there is a friend or someone that you enjoy spending time, find a fun activity to do! Do you have hobbies? I like to read and write, you may want to do that.
