I miss him "less" now that I've plastered my half of the dorm and my assignment book and binder with his pictures. All that makes it seem like he's here.

Thank you, Thunder. We WILL get through this. Somehow, we will?
I hope so because I have been having an awful hard time lately. I thought I was past the point of the anger and the tears....but I was so wrong, I mean I almost had a melt down over my siggy picture being deleted from photobucket, I am a pretty stable person and for me to be driven almost to tears over a picture...that is bad. I really need to get ahold of myself. HOW I dont know..but I better figure it out soon.
I didn't mean antidepressants. Your mother is right in not letting you take them. That s--t doesn't work. In some cases, they can even cause suicidal thoughts/actions--I would not recommend them. No, I rely on stuff to put me to sleep, because I cannot fall into a natural sleep. I suffer from chronic insomnia. I tried "natural" sleep yesterday and didn't fall asleep until 5 am. So, as you can see, this is highly impractical for someone whose classes start at 10 am. So, I have to induce sleep somehow.
My mother tried to stuff antidepressants down my throat too--and the idiot doctors let her do that, but I set it up as a ruse, to see if "taking" them would influence her outlook towards my behaviour. Indeed, it did. Despite the fact that I have not taken them (of course, she does not know this), she claims to see a big "improvement" in my behaviour after the medications were put in place. The idiot medics claim the same. I haven't changed anything I do, so this is all a giant placebo effect I've managed to cloak over them to prove a point, that one being their complete bias and stupidity.
Your nightmares sound horrible, and it makes sense why you can't seem to sleep. I would not recommend you do what I do to get some sleep--I am a professional driver on a closed course, so to speak. Your doctor (medical physician, not idiot psychiatrist) should approve whatever medications you're set up to take, even if they are over-the-counter sleep aids. Although these are not physically addictive, they can certainly become psychologically addictive (the same way food and other non-drug addictions become addictive), and you build a tolerance in a very short time. That is to say, you could start with a standard dose of 25mg and by week one already double that to 50mg due to the tolerance you build within just a few days. This is part of the reason why they are not recommended as a long-term solution to insomnia (the same goes for prescription ones, though). In three weeks, you could be taking as much as 300mg per night to sleep, and this does your liver no favours, of course.
Yes, I am a huge Harry Potter fan. You should read the books if you have not already--the films provide a very pigeonholed perspective of the events which actually take place in the story, including those concerning Severus Snape. By reading the books, you will discover there was a rhyme and reason to almost everything Severus did, including his demeanour towards Harry Potter. The only thing which really was a bit petty of him was his treatment of Neville Longbottom, but seeing how he was treated during his schoolyears, it is actually rather tame. Still, it is not exactly justified. But, I think Snape's good points far outnumber his flaws: he was in many ways a flawed master--were he a total and complete saint, there would be no way to relate to him at all. However, he is what he is, and his beauty lies in both his virtues and his flaws.
He was an abandoned child, like I was. He loathed his father, like I do. He was ostracized by his "peers", like I have been. These are just a few of the things Sev and I have in common, so I sort of see myself in his character, if that makes any sense. He and Sirius Black are my favourite characters from the series, and that series (along with Michael, WWII History, and high literature like Notre-Dame de Paris), has saved my life.
I still don't talk about Michael in the past tense. He and I exist in some other world, where he is my fairy tale prince--this, of course, goes against every logical and scientific bone in my body, it is thoroughly irrational, it is pure phantasy, it is bliss, and it is among the only ways I stay alive.
Daryll, I've been reading your posts, and just want to say that you are NOT alone. I feel that same pain. I don't even hope for justice for Michael, anymore. . I think the charges were too light, and the costs of this trial are too great for Michael. I DO believe in an "ultimate justice," and I do think that. . . Michael will be ok. And somehow, we will, too?
I admire you, Daryll, because you LOVE so much. That is rare, and I applaud it. I do feel the same love -- for a person I've never met. Just know that there IS a purpose to all of this? We may not know it yet, but I have to believe that there IS purpose. Be strong, ok, and know that you are not alone?
(edit) This post is not only for Daryll, but for EVERYONE who loves that much?
I am not a meical doctor and am much older as well. I would recommend a sleep diary , if you truly feel depressed after at least a month, it's worth looking into.
mjistheonlyone said:I believe MJ had so much pressure going on with getting everything ready for his lifes continues sucess one would have anxiety. I just wish he could have selcted Dr. Nader Kamangar, the sleep doctorfrom UCLA Hospital.
I woul have support MJ with any decision he wante, just NOT having Murray as his doctor.
You have come to a wonder MJ sitefor support.
I feel absolutely horrible lately and I feel like it's getting worse. I miss him so much. Michael was amazing, I wish I could be there looking for new pics, I want to wake up and find out it's all a dream. I want to go back and relive that, to know he's still around, to wonder where he is right now, to wish I could encounter him. But it's gone, and I'm having trouble handling it.
I can't cope right now![]()

MJsBollywoodGirl7 said:But the sad thing is now I can't handle watching him anymore. And I miss watching him so extremely much anymore. The last time I saw an MJ related video of mine was May of last year. Thankfully I can still listen to him. I am listening to him now. But now I only listen to him if I really need to hear his voice. Which is really not that very often now.
Wow, so many new posts since my last 'visit' here. I would like to point out that really everyone can post their feelings here...I didn't create this tread just lonely for me :yes:
This is EXACTLY how I feel. I miss his presence so much, it feels so bad knowing he's not out there somewhere anymore
I did the same back in fall 2009...But I also started to talk myself into believing that he's still there, hanged recent pictures on the wall and told myself that those would be brand new and when the TII movie came out I said to me "Michael shows us some rehearsals, that's a preview for his upcoming tour"...Of course this didn't go good for a long time. After some weeks, the fact that he's still dead managed to take over my mind again, and then it hit me just like in June again...
I don't know about your way to handle the lost of Michael, Severus, but I just advice you that you shouldn't build his presence up too much again, because then the reality may hit you even harder than before.
Wow, that must be really horrible
Sadly, something similar is starting to happen with me now too. Since about 3 weeks I just can't listen to Michael's music or watch his music videos anymore...Everytime I'm trying to do it, I just don't feel anything, it goes in at one ear and out at the other...No emotions from me, nothing. It feels like doing something 'damned'
I can only look at pictures from Michael now. But also not music or concert related pics, just pics showing Michael as a person. Especially with his beautiful smile. And mostly recent pictures....That's when the feeling that he's still alive comes up a bit again. Then the excitement when these pictures were first posted also starts again and I feel like I'm back in the old good days around 2,5 years ago...I forget the reality. I loose myself in these pictures. I really do. For example, these are some of the pics I'm currently craving:
But of course, this feeling only holds for some minutes. Then the reality speaks through my mind again: These pictures are PAST, they're bygone...
Maybe it sounds weird, but the thing which is also killing me inside is that the time goes by and nothing is changing. Michael's still not being here. It is now almost 2,5 years since Michael's death. Soon it will be 3 years. Then 4 years. Hell, sometime it will be 10 years.
And all these pictures of him, the 'reliefs' showing him as a person are getting older and older.
And THIS feels really horrible. Because it always makes you look at the past. It prevents you from living in the here and now.
...:boohoo:
I hope you guys understand me...I'm probably looking pretty 'strange' with these kind of issues....
I miss him so much...I just can't hold the tears in any longer.
The real world is overrated anyway. Nothing but horror over there.
I agree. That's why I was always a dreamer and like Michael a fan of escapism through creating nicer worlds of fantasy. I was always like that, probably also because I am an only child and often I was playing by myself and then I had to make up playmates and fantasy characters in my mind to play with. It actually helps me as a grown-up as well, because by this I can imagine so much better worlds - for example worlds where people like Michael are treated well and are happy.
This doesn't mean I'm some kind of lunatic, not living in the real world. I live in this world and I can separate reality and fantasy. I'm not crazy. It's just that this world is pretty bad and it's good to escape it sometimes. And you always have your mind and fantasy to do so.
BTW, this is also why I'm a big fan of the multiverse theory in physics. I so hope it's the truth! That would mean we have an infinite number of worlds - many a lot better than ours! Everything you can ever imagine IS reality somewhere in the multiverse! And in many of those worlds we are a lot happier and in many of those worlds Michael is a lot happier too. (Again, I'm not crazy - this is a theory in physics that is taken pretty seriously as a possibility to explain some phenomenons, for example on the quantum level. Actually it's one of the best interpretations of quantum physical phenomenons up to now.)
I got hit by a car a few years ago; I supposedly talked to the cops, the EMT, the ER people, even a few friends, and I have absolutely no memory of it. Not consciously, b/c funnily I recognized one of the paramedics on TV one day without having any idea where I had seen the guy. That's one hell of a weird feeling, to have a hole in your life.
My brain has decided to close the iron curtain on what happened on june 25 too. I know it happened, but my brain totally refused to acknowledge it after the summer of 09. It didnt happen because I'm not allowing it to. Every particle of my being refuses it. It's just too much for me to handle. I feel like I'm made of glass, that I could explode at any thought that has anything to do with reality. It's like after a terrible accident, like have a gigantic wound you dont dare to brush against. Sometimes people talk to me, and I wonder how they cant see it.
My students save me. I see Michael in their eyes, in their smiles. He's in my head each time I talk to them. He holds my hand every time I hold theirs.
I had a dream. I was in a poor neighborhood, the kind I work in, surrounded by buildings. Each was covered with MJ black and white paintings, silhouettes. I had tears in my eyes and I was trying to take pictures of them all. Then a little kid looked up at me and said "you will tell him, wont you?". His eyes were so full of hope, and he was smiling. A guy next to me said "yeah, tell Mike the guys of the neighborhood say hi".
I dont even know why I'm writing all this.
@ roomdownstairs & Daryll748
I'm glad you understand this.
I really hope there are worlds in the multiverse better than ours.
The way we lost him...... that's the most horrible thing to me. I had never imagined i would have to say goodbye to Michael this soon. I had imagined we would have him for 30 or so years more. I had imagined we'd see him raise his kids, help them with their future careers, and ultimately see him become a grandpa. Oh, what a grandpa he would've been :wub: Loosing someone you love is obviously always difficult, but loosing Michael at age 80-something would've been natural, expected and OK, despite the hurt.
And then i see his kids on various outings, and he's not there. He's missing. Those 3 kids have to grow up orphans, without Michael's care, directions, love and help because one person couldn't do what he was paid to do. Michael died alone, hooked up to a deadly drip and slowly suffocating from his own tongue. And again, why? It litterally tore my heart into pieces when i heard dr.-something say that all Murray would've had to to was lift Michael's chin up, maybe bag him, and then call 911 :no: That mental image is gonna haunt me forever. And as for Murray... no amount of jail time will ever bring Michael back to us. I hope Murray gets what he deserves, but IMO a max of 4 years is not justice. To me the public knowing that he was responsible for killing MJ, the fact that he won't be allowed to practice medicine again, and hopefully that his conscience one day will kick in and let him remorse his actions (although i doubt that) will be a bigger punishment to Murray that a few years in jail (may i add i hope he drops the soap multiple times :beee.
I miss him so much!
This trial has been so hard and it only showed what I knew that Michael should be here. He didn't have to die. Murray just sitting there like he did nothing wrong makes me so sick.
I am watching This is It and I start crying during I'll Be There. That's not where I usually get emotional but this time I just started crying.I couldn't help it. I skipped Earth Song because we now know that was the last song he sang and I couldn't watch it. I wish he was still here. We see other artists and their fans and they have a lot to look forward to. We don't have that anymore. I know we the cirque show and all that but it's the not same. It is still sad.
BTW, this is also why I'm a big fan of the multiverse
theory in physics. I so hope it's the truth! That would mean we have an infinite
number of worlds - many a lot better than ours! Everything you can ever imagine
IS reality somewhere in the multiverse! And in many of those worlds we are a lot
happier and in many of those worlds Michael is a lot happier too. (Again, I'm not
