Oh, I had the same problem with my laptop’s charger, I ordered a new one from Ebay, it was only about £5, and they’re pretty much universal — it’s one size fits all, kinda thing.

I’ve had insomnia for a few years now, maybe you should try going to the doctor’s?
They won’t give me anything, because I’m under 16 and I’m growing blah blah blah.

Gosh, it must be really hard for you to have to deal with all that. It’s really terrible that your laptop would let you down like that - things like this seem to just happen at any given time and you have no choice but to put up with it. Hopefully you’ll be able to borrow someone’s computer or something so that you can continue blogging?

I really hope you can manage to get some sleep, and please do eat. Your exhaustion and fatigue might get worse. I wouldn’t want you getting sick. One thing much worse than being stressed is being stressed and sick. I guess when there are things that stress you out, you can’t really expect them to go away just like that so that you can finally relax. I hope you get your much-deserved you-time soon.

Please take care of yourself!

my laptop’s pretty old now and i think it’s time to replace it lol.

so you’re stressed? . well it’s better being a bit stressed and lacking in sleep as opposed to doing nothing all day. but then again, you should manage your time more effectively

like what azreen said, take care of yourself

Well, it’s easier said than done. I’m just dealing with alot of stuff right now, and I know once everything is taken care of and all is said and done, I’ll be back to normal. (or my version of normal.) Thanks for your concern, though, and thanks for the advice. I do try to find ways to help me relax, but with everything I have going on right now, it’s pretty much pointless to even try. lol.

lol.. I agree with you somewhat. It sometimes is better than doing nothing all day, but in my case.. right now I’d much rather have nothing to do than to deal with what I am dealing with. It’s a long story, though and I won’t bore you with it. I’m just thankful that I have people in my life that care about me and are concerned for my well-being. That’s what matters most right now, I think.

Not being able to sleep is HORRIBLE!! How I hate that.

That sucks about your laptop, but I guess you’re right with the cheap ones. They’re good for a certain amount of time.

Hope things work out!

Ya, the thing is… it really wasn’t all that cheap. And the not being able to sleep thing is horrible.

I have had 2 laptops in my lifetime and on both accounts, the power supply fucked up, even though I was insanely careful with both of them. I love laptops, but I hate how they act, it pisses me the hell off.

That’s awful that your new lappy is giving you trouble New things aren’t supposed to have issues dammit! *HUGS* I’m sorry you’re feeling all stressed out, it’s not fun at all! I’m here for ya if you need another friend, I’m not that far from you after all. Sometimes going out with friends and getting a sweet fruity drink can make all the difference in the world.

Sounds like they sold you a dud if it’s having problems like that only after 2 months. Hopefully they’ll make it right, but it still sucks that you have to fight with it to begin with.

I hear ya with the stress not being a good thing for the mentally unstable. Stress + an anxiety attack almost caused me to quit my job last week, so I kinda have an idea where you’re coming from.

Hope things start to look up for you in your time away. LOL @ the “show some major internet love” comment. I seriously need to do that too!

ahh man and i want a laptop too. what kind do you have? remind me not to buy that one.

sorry things are going bad for you right now, but we all have our bads and like you said, no matter how bad it is, it could always be worse. hope you feel better and can get some rest.

Wow, thats crazy. I want a lap top too but i can’t seem to figure out what to get. It looks like the cheap ones aren’t too good or something?

Try taking everyday one day at a time… get lots of rest hopefully you’ll feel better soon

Ack, sorry to hear about your laptop issues. Computer problems are always a bit of an annoyance.

I’m sorry to hear things aren’t going too well with you. I really hope you’ll feel better soon!

Boo for those nasty laptop problem. I just bought myself a new one, because the previous one kept crashing on me for no reason. BLEH.

I’m sorry to hear that things are not going great with you, but I hope you’re a whole lot better soon!

Though, I hate floods too. LOL. XD

what kind of laptop is this???

Hey babe, I miss you loads, hope everything is well at the appt. Come back soon

Maybe your laptop is just defective, I’d get it fixed or ship it off somewhere. I got a free one cuz mine was defective Ive totally been in that situation though where you tell someone something all the time then when your chance comes to do the opposite it doesnt work out the way you planned and.. you just look like a bum haha.

anyways im pretty tired too, i should head to bed. its not even late but i love sleeping so. its been easy for me to sleep lately, as well as wake up, i hope that doesnt change during school. i am so nervous for it!

i am the same as you when it comes to sleeping/exhaustion though. i used to come home from long hour shifts at work and head to bed because i was DEAD DEAD tired but then i wouldnt be able to sleep. it was just the fact that i wuold work so hard on my shifts (have to keep my brain and body alert since it was a restaurant) i would not be able to turn it off for hoursss after i came home and went to bed. im glad i dont work there anymore..

Sorry I haven’t returned your nice reply to a comment a made a while ago… it totally went into my spam. My mp3 is pretty ancient… it’s only 256 mb and without a screen. I don’t think they even sell those anymore.

Aww, it sucks that your laptop is acting stupid. They’re probably all made cheaply. Someone told me that even things (like sunglasses or shoes) that are made in Italy, or some other classy place, are often still made by people from China. It’s kind of sad really.

Blogs about sucky laptops are all over the web. I’ve only ever had one laptop, which was from Apple. I’ve had it for about 4 months, not causing any trouble, anyways hope you get it fixed.
Ergh…I HATE not being able to sleep. Or forgetting to eat…its good to know that people are caring for your son and your well being

The only time my iBook ever malfunctioned was when it was dropped on the floor. I guess I can’t blame Apple for that, can I? Or maybe I can. haha. I could ask why they don’t make an indestructable laptop…. “When the world comes to an end, I expect my computer to still be standing!”

Technology can be so frustrating! I just had to get a new laptop and I’m hoping it will last me for at least four years.

Hope things get better for you…

x Despair

yea, I’ve been insanely careful with this one. I don’t think that matters, it’s the workmanship of the product. They mass produce these things nowadays and don’t really pay that much attention to quality or detail. I’m sending it in, of course

Hey, thanks. I am feeling a little better, it’s just things weren’t going too well for a bit. You live in the area now.. remember like 3 weeks ago when it rained super badly and flooded the southeastern part of the city? I live there. My whole place was flooded, it was terrible, and I had to move out right away.. not to mention alot of my stuff was ruined. But things are better now.

Yes, I think they did sell me a dud, those bastards! But I’ll deal, I suppose. I have actually quit more than one job due to stress and having anxiety attacks. It is most unpleasant. I hope everything’s ok now.

I’ll be by to give you your internet love sometime in the near future I promise!

Sorry for the late response.. I just haven’t been around. I actually considered getting an iBook or whatever.. and I guess I should have. It’s just I’m so used to windows. lol. Although, my first computer was an apple. Go figure.
