Twitter Thread: Woman's Loving Friends Offer Beautiful Support


Sheila O'Malley's story about her friends taking a risk and intervening when she was too overwhelmed by grief to ask for the help she needed is a beautiful thing. Sometimes being a true and loving friend is stepping up for that person in your life who can't see what kind of hole they're in, and needs someone who cares enough to notice what's going, to step in and help get them out of it. This story's got all the feels. 

1.

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen The year after my dad died was so bad I don't remember 90% of it. I moved to a new apt and was unable to unpack. For MONTHS. I was ashamed I couldn't unpack. How can you be UNABLE to unpack? Just open the g.d. boxes. That was the year I cried for 19 days. Straight. /1

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h My good friend David - whom l've known since high school - knew I was struggling and he felt helpless. He said "you are loved" "we need you". I was like, "Doesn't matter, but thanks." So he took a risk. It very well could have ended badly. I could have lashed out. /2 03 2742 O 777

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h I could have been really REALLY offended. But he took the risk. He sent out an email to a group of local friends (w/out my knowledge) and said, "Sheila is struggling. She needs our help. Let's all go over there and unpack her apartment for her. Bring food. Let's make it fun." /3 Q4 2745 926 Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h David sent me an email saying "will you be home Thursday night? Can I stop by?" I said "Sure." Sitting surrounded by 200 unpacked b

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h At 6 pm on Thursday night the doorbell rang and 10 of my friends barged in, bearing platters of food, cleaning products, and complete unconcern for my 'wait ... you CAN'T COME IN HERE I HAVEN'T UNPACKED YET" protestations. They ignored me and got to work. /5 2736 1,006

5.

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h They unpacked my boxes. They put away my 1,500 books. They hung pictures for me. They organized my closet and put away all my clothes. Meanwhile, someone set up a taco-making station in the kitchen. People brought beer. By the end of the night, my apartment was all set up. /6 04 2739 O 1,314 Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h I literally was unable to do THE SIMPLEST THINGS. And nobody judged me. They were like superheroes sweeping in. One friend arrived

6.

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h One of my friends basically took over hanging all of my posters and pictures. "I'm really good at measuring stuff. Let me put all these up in your hallway." I hovered, not wanting to give up control: "wait ... put that one there maybe?" She said, "Go away." I did. /8 01 27 25 934

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h And she was so much better at hanging stuff than I was! Here are my friends putting away my books. /9

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h I was overwhelmed at the sight of all of my crazy friends turning themselves into Santa's workshop. On my behalf. W/out asking me. They just showed up and barged in. I was embarrassed for like 10 minutes but they were all so practical and bossy I had no choice but to let that go.

10.

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h At the end of the night, I looked at my friend's husband - a quiet tactiturn guy who drives a tugboat on the Hudson - practical, man of few words - and I just looked at him, speechless, not knowing how to say Thank You, especially to this tough resilient self-sufficient man. 2726 867

The "ask for help" advice is well-meaning but not really thought through.

Text - Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h When they all swept out of there 4 hours later, my place was a home. Not only was everything put away - but now it had a memory attached to it, a group memory, friends, laughing, dirty jokes, hard work. These are the kinds of friends I have. Be that kind of friend to others. 0 5 2783 O 1,979 Sheila O'Malley @sheilakathleen 7h To reiterate: this plan could have backfired. I very well could have been offended, insulted, hurt.

Man's Day Is A Rollercoaster Of Fails


Sometimes life gets inspired and decides to throw us all the curveballs, and we just can't keep up with them. This poor dude ended up fielding a mess of a day. It's the unlucky days filled with struggles that make the actual, rare good days taste that much sweeter though. This dude's struggles might help keep your own in perspective; or at the very least, help you forget about what kind of unfortunate nonsense could be plaguing your existence. 

1.

Text - So how did it begin? Wel... 1. Last night at around 5 pm, I broke an aquarium at work (worth about $60.) 2. Cleaning up, minor cut to my thumb. Very shallow, so I pick off the dead skin. Ripped a layer of flesh off, and now have an exposed nerve ending, that is relatively small, but doesn't go away, and it is sharp pain, so I can't pretend it's not there. |

2.

Text - 3. For the first time in 6 months working there, I brought something home with me by accident in my pocket (happens to others regularly). It was the last glass vial we have to test for ammonium. 4. Get home to find a massive crotch rip in my favorite pair of jeans. Go to store to get thread, needle, pins, and denim patch. 5. Realize I forgot thread. I was depressed before, but being pissed starts now.

3.

Text - 6. couldn't focus on any work, got nothing done, but somehow managed to not realize I stayed up til Ten, when I wanted to go to sleep by Nine. (need to wake up at 5 am) The bad shit should have ended with that day. Nope. 7) woke up 45 minutes late since I got to bed an hour late. 8) go to make morning tea to bring with me to school. Realize I forgot my mug at school.

4.

Text - 9) Leave house without coffee, or tea, only to also forget breakfast because l'm pissed. 10) 20 minutes late. 11) realize I also forgot my belt when I get to the gym. Now for the rest of the day, l'm going to feel like I have plumber's crack, whether it's true or not. 12) No hot water at all in the locker room. a cold shower I can take, but there was a water break in the middle of winter. The water we had was ~45 degrees F. cold water showers are generally ~60-70 degrees F.

5.

Text - 13) Walking to car, fall on the ice for the 6th time at this god damn university which does almost nothing to clear ice off the sidewalks on the hills. They DO clear the ice off of the flat ground for some fucking reason. 14) Remember that glass vial I brought home? The last one we had in the lab? Guess what was in my pocket?I now have broken glass in my pocket. 15) get to diner, REFUSING to let the bad shit get me down, and determeined to change my day around with a good hot breakfast. I

6.

Text - 16)l order a pulled pork sandwich instead, because l'm still determined to have a good day. They are out of pulled pork. 17) Ordered a hot tea to drink with lemon. Remember how I broke an aquarium, and cut my thumb? T had a lemon slice in my tea. I squeezed the juice into my tea. Yep. 18) breakfast sucked.
