from the immortal words of Pink:

'm lying here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun

I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine
Cause it's making me itch
I said i tried to call the nurse again
But she's being a little bitch
I think i'll get out of here

Where i can run just as fast as i can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And i swear you're just like a pill
Instead of making me better
Keep making me ill
Keep making me ill

I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills they were different
Maybe i should get some help

I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine
Cause it's making me itch
I said i tried to call the nurse again
But she's being a little bitch
I think i'll get out of here

Where i can run just as fast as i can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And i swear you're just like a pill
Instead of making me better
Keep making me ill
Keep making me ill

Run just as fast as i can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And i swear you're just like a pill
Instead of making me better
Keep making me ill
Keep making me ill

I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine
Cause it's making me itch
I said i tried to call the nurse again
But she's being a little bitch
I think i'll get out of here

Where i can run just as fast as i can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And i swear you're just like a pill
Instead of making me better
Keep making me ill
Keep making me ill

Run just as fast as i can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And i swear you're just like a pill
Instead of making me better
Keep making me ill
Keep making me ill

Run just as fast as i can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And i swear you're just like a pill
Instead of making me better
You keep making me ill
You keep making me ill

Run just as fast as i can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated....

It absolutely does!! The stress of arguing...it effects your body the same as if you were running from a monster.

Yes, very much so. I've been arguing with my husband for many years now and it's definitely taken it's toll on me.

I agree sometimes it is best to say nothing, just go about your business, it takes way to much energy out of you and leaves a bitter taste, in my experience it causes more harm.

Isn't this also called the divorce diet? You get so beat up you can't eat anymore.

Yep - got tot agree with the other posts - I know the feeling, Rman.

I just cut off any contact.

It's really so simple if you want it to be...the problem is that it's not so simple when you actually think of the situation. It's like a fight between the rational and the irrational. My rational side says to just screw it all and be happy. My irrational side says that this is actually in my mind...maybe I've got the rational and irrational mixed up?

it takes so much energy and you feel so worn out when it's done.. and rarely is it done in the manner you hoped... sometimes it's just easier to avoid and not confront and wear yourself out

Disconnect, I know that now, day goes by and all better.

Got that right.

I know its weird I feel the same way ... to tired to argue anymore ... I feel disconnected ... that's why I haven't been on much the last week. I just don't really care to fight or cry or talk about or care what happens ... its kind of weird.

Not much has changed but I think I just lost the will to care or worry or be upset ... at least right now.

Being angry just wears you out, and doesn't really accomplish much.

I have encountered a deep buried pain via triggers lately. The pain was so buried that facing it, writing about and I finally talked about it after a lifetime of avoidance.

I have argued with myself lately as to why is this out? Why not stay inside me so it won't hurt me? The body blows are very much intense and it has made me physically ill last night.

So, I'm to tired to argue with my logic. I realized that as I am trying to enter a healthier mindset, I must purge these little nasty secrets. It will help me become a better person to the man in life, to my friends, family and so on.

There is no more argument and when I get the courage, I will open it up for my friends to read me as it may or may not help them. TADA!

I think I reached that point many months ago- it takes so much energy to fight with a man who is like arguing with a door- and then- when you tried to get a word in they talk over you so youre screaming at each other-

Yeah- tried that and it would be fuking exhausting- so I quit. I would say something in a low tone and never scream, and if he didnt hear me, he would say "huh?" and I would say very calmly- "shut the fuk up and maybe you can hear me"

And when Ive reached that point where I think he is so full of sh*t I would just say "this conversation is over" and I would turn him off like a light switch.

Very simple- and I found that it worked like that for me-

It's too much for me deal with on a daily basis.

I find that there is really very little worth arguing about.
