"PMD" it's a serious disease, maybe we can convince LH to throw a benefit concert  I know it's weird but it's like having that day after Christmas feeling, or the let down after the wedding feeling. It doesnt help that there is no new info at the moment...thankfully I have this board or I'd really be "ill" ;D Finally, coming to this thread made me laugh instead of cry. Please Marty, throw a benefit concert for PMS and PMD (Post Marty Syndrome/Depression) Only problem is that the concert will just create a lot more sufferers. Thanks to all who have posted. It all makes a lot of sense. |

That's what it is. It was so exciting and fun that the day after felt like the most boring day of my life. The whole next week did too. I got over it in about a week though. That's so funny a benefit concert for PMS... I had that envy too like the previous poster said. I wanted that exciting life that they have. But instead I go home and be a house wife with a cat...how exciting... I'm fine now though I am just waiting for my next fix.  |

Cope? It seems to come in waves. I am currently 9 weeks post Martin, (Jan 19) and still have not come down from meeting and seeing all the guys. I listen to them whenever I can, and when I can't the good old songs in my head keep blaring away. I agree with the previous posts, regarding realizing that my life is so not what I want, and I find a connection in almost every song of theirs I hear. Not so much that their life is better, but that it is in some ways the same and wanting more. They have given me some courage to try and change some things in my life,but it's the major changes I am having trouble with. I come to this board at least once a day, I rarely post, but it helps to see I am not alone in my obsession. Just like Marty said on RS, right before he sang Creep, sometimes it helps to know you aren't alone. Thank you to everyone that posts here!

When I am feeling it, and today I was, I put in Live/Raw and rock out like I am there. Close your eyes and picture Marty singing above you, Billy playing that fine music, Dino ripping a chord, and Bobby whaling on the snares.....can you see it? Can you feel it? Can you hear the chorus...."sky is falling..."? Remember that feeling when you saw Marty for the first time and he smiled and said "It is so great that you've supported us! Thank you so much for lovin' our music!" You almost melted at the first look of those steel blue eyes.... whew! I've got my fix for now... hope this helped.  |

I've been visiting the board for months, but today is the first time I actually posted, and this thread is one reason why. It is nice to know others have felt the same things. It's not only me! At times the sameness of day to day life gets to me, and I think, what am I really doing with my life? Is this all there is? Then other days I'm perfectly content and can appreciate all that I have. One thing I like to watch when I'm feeling a little down is the video called
"Lovehammers How We Live" which is on this site in the video gallery. Marty says that "music is a drug that heals the soul." How true.

Marty says that "music is a drug that heals the soul." How true. I'm glad that my first post inspired you to give your first response. I did get really sad after the show, but then I was OK within a few days. I had been feeling fine until I got on the web to find some Marty photos to send to a friend and then I got on this site and started watching videos and reading about Marty and the interviews with his family and feeling like he is even better than I knew before. And now I have been sad and crying all day. I think I feel sad because no mater how much I ADORE my husband, after a decade together I do not tremble and stutter and shake and shudder each time I see him - and with Marty I do. It feels sad to experience a bit of a feeling that cannot really ever be a part of a daily life. My friend says that she is sure that if we were married to Marty we would not feel this way forever. Is she crazy. How could a woman even handle it? How could she handle the love he has from others (us)? Poor Marty, it can't be easy to handle it all for him either. |

Long time "listner" first time caller here! You are all "preaching to the choir" ... I felt very bummed out for several weeks after seeing LHs in St. Charles, MO. I was so excited to see the Lovehammers in action, and fairly excited to see INXS too ... the accoustics were terrible!!!  Not the band's fault though ~ I think that arena is just meant for rock concerts. I didn't get to stay for the "meet & greet" with our guys, husband was totally not into it ... I was lucky to get him to go at all! I did but the new Epic CD - which has a lot of GREAT songs on it ... The Tunnel, The Riddle, Eyes Can't See, Clinic, Straight as an Arrow (wow), Clouds, which I know some might dismiss ... but it is powerful! ... and yeah ~ I'm bummed I might not get the chance to see these guys again ... and even more bummed to realize I might not get the chance to MEET them again! Plus some goofy Mary - crush - which is just SO FLIPPINGG NUTTY ... GADZ ZOOKS ... glad to know I'm not to only one that is not "completely mental" ... |

welcome banninje.
Let me just say to all you despondent fans, that visiting this board is exactly what you do when you're feeling the missing-marty blues. After RS:INXS finished we were all here sharing far fewer photos and stories until the next Marty sighting, concert, etc. We have had Lonely Hearts Clubs for those who couldn't attend big shows and even started an Asylum for the truly obsessed. We might not ever find a cure, but at least we have each other!

Is is just me or does it feel like being in a long distance relationship? A very one-sided relationship but still. It just really reminds me of that .... all the staring at pictures, counting how long it's been since you've seen him, wondering when you can see him again. *ahem* Not that I do that..... just got that from reading all your posts.

I saw Marty perform in Jacksonville, Fl and got to talk to and hug him afterward - what a rush. I get the same feeling every time I watch his videos or hear his voice. But after the concert I felt so sad and down for days. I could not even stay for the INXS part because I was in Marty withdrawl. Now, after I watch or listen to Marty, I feel a bit of that depression again. It's like missing someone you care about. I have never had a rockstar crush before so I don't know if this is "normal". Do others get this and what does it mean to you? Thanks, Joely Joely, Normal or not, you are definitely not alone. After I saw them in Boca Raton, I was in the clouds and extremely happy for exactly three weeks and then BAM it hit. It sounds really stupid but I miss them and I would love to see them again. This has NEVER happened to me before. I have also NEVER posted on boards prior to my MCLH obsession. I am an attorney and a college professor and I am finishing my PhD and don't have time for anything, yet I always visit this site just to get my MC "fix" . It seems strange, and I never thought of myself as "a fan" to no one (except John Lennon ;D) but now I definitely am one. Thing is, I constantly think about Marty and wish good things for him, as if he were my friend or a relative. It sounds corny and weird but I love him...not with the "want to get you naked in a room" (although he is, as we all know, GORGEOUS) kind of love but rather with a spiritual one. Please note that I am also VERY happily married  . In short, Marty is a beautiful soul, an inspiration, and I wish for him the best life has to offer; and yes, it pains me to not get to see them frequently and see them perform live. Heck if I could I would quit my job and become a roadie ;D , so I'm doing the next best thing: keeping the job to save the money to pay for the trips I plan to keep on making to see them perform |

Ha Ha. You wouldn't mind would you? Well, this site is great. I feel so much better today and full on energy. Why have we fallen for MC like no other? Here are some traits of this love affair that are so different from other rockers: 1. He got to make love to us with those eyes every week all summer. (Which made my summer even more incredible!) 2. Then we were cut off cold turkey for months 3. Then many of us, the blessed ones, have gotten to see him and even meet him and he is not a gigantic star, yet, so it got to be so much more intimate than it would be with say, Bono. 4. He is a truly nice guy from a good family and not strung out on drugs. 5. He has never, that I have heard, said one crass, sexist or objectifying thing about women (even though we objectify him all the time!) I mean, he seems to actually respect women. 6. He is gorgeous but not in a frat boy, aren't I so pretty sort of way. 7. He has a vulnerable, shy, "I get this dark feeling", soft voice, I love my mom and sisters, sort of side that make women want to take care of him (and then have their way!) |

I have never had a long distance relationship, but when I was in Junior High I had my first huge crush and I remember the feeling of getting ready in the morning and listening to certain songs and the smell of the perfume I would put on and what it would feel like to see him in the hall way or watch him play ball outside from my sciece class room. He never knew I existed. It was all one way. That's what this feels like. |
