P.S. NEVER let a guy abuse you again no matter what the circumstances, if a man does that to you it has to be over. Thinking about it gets my blood boiling. No woman should ever have to fear a man...
Welcome to the boards, I was sad to hear about your story but I was unfortunately not surprised. Guys can be cruel and very hard to understand sometimes. Not all of us are lucky enough to understand...
Thanks Raniah. I don't really know what to do right now though, I'm so down I don't feel like I can function. I did something I never do and called my Mom and discussed my feelings honestly and...
I am really worried. I have been sitting here trying to work for hours but I can't bring myself to do it. I just want to sleep and cry. I don't know what to do. This is the worst I've been in years....
Sorry to hear about the incident with your brother. You did nothing wrong and I am shocked he wasn't more accepting of your calm advice since most men (I know I do) fear inheriting the negative...
Raniah, you are so my babe, you're so amazing and supportive. I knew I could count on hearing from you soon. I'm glad it made you feel good, no matter what your age you should always feel special and...
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much. Things have just been crazy. I've been super busy at work and with school. I feel bad about not being here to answer all of your posts. I will try to do...
Thanks Raniah, you have honestly been so great. I don't know why you have taken me under your wing but I am so greatful. My girlfriend knows what I have going on but she doesn't really believe in...
Hey all, this morning I managed to uncover all my lost files. Its a bit late now but at least I know what the problem was. My anxiety level is very high though and this morning I just started to cry...
I know no one will be around to talk which only makes this worse! I am in a serious state of panic. I was just working on a bunch of important assignments for school when the network drive that the...
I've met some of you but not all, and I'd like to welcome you to the forums! I love to talk to everyone here and put my two cents in on a lot of posts. You'll find this website is very helpful and...
Thank you everyone who posted her, I have been doing better in the past couple days, spring's arrival seems to have helped. Your kind words and the connection i've felt on these boards has been my...
Hi welcome to the forums! I'm sorry to hear that you are having some emotional problems, I am no professional but from what I have heard with postpartum, if you are unsure you should seek...
Welcome to the forums. Yours is a common voice here on the forums, one that I have shared many times. Its difficult to break the cycle of isolation and depression once it begins, it seems to build...
Thanks Jezzie, Maybe we could discuss further via email, or a chat program?...
I suppose it could be what others have told me, or the way that have reacted to my desires. Also I just accepted this type of criticism because I have just never been satisfied in previous...
Way to go! Always let this be a reminder of what you can do when you put your mind to it and that your problems can't stop you from succeeding! Congratulations! Good Luck with future endeavors....
I don't know really what to tell you about this, it sounds like you are doing your best to help her and she is being complete irrationally. Perhaps she need to see someone about her mental state as...
Thanks Jezzie, I am doing alright. Although I've been dying to relieve my addiction all day. Last night one of my female friends was texting me and I felt like I almost went to far trying to gain her...
Thanks, Serafena. I'm actually 22, and about to graduate here in May....
I'm here today! Feeling pretty good although nervous about some assignments i've been putting off. Of course I play a role in my own problems. It's true that there are many stressors that we don't...
Karen, I think it might be helpful if I heard about how you dealt with your addiction. I know we can speak entirely freely here so I would wonder if we could find a way to do so. I don't know how to...
Raniah, You got it girl! It put a whole different spin on my day. I feel so much better now, I wonder if she has any idea the power she had over me today!...
Karen, thanks so much for understanding, I was a bit embarrassed to admit the nature of my addiction, especially being a man. I didn't want to seem like a scum bag. Yes it certainly is a physical and...
Raniah, This is a reply to you but I think it can be helpful for everyone on these forums. As I mentioned I was very anxious about meeting with my professor, when I arrived she was on the phone and I...
Thanks Raniah, I am about to go now, my heart is beating out of my chest but I know that its the only thing to be done. You words of encouragement made me smile and feel confident at least for a...
Thanks for the advice, how would I go about doing what you suggest. I don't want to burden my parents with medical fees and I don't think they would understand. I work but I would not be able to...
At 2:50 today I have to meet with my professor to apologize for missing class 8 times this semester. Many times I did this because it was my first class of the day and I just couldn't get out of bed...
As I stated in my other post I have a problem with controlling my sexuality, I worry that I've become addict to it as it effects my life greatly. I always seem to be seeking the approval of women and...
Cafemocha, I really want to thank you for posting, I feel like I am right with you in this fight to survive college. I am currently a senior and I have had these problems all throughout my college...
Hi I am new to the boards and kind of unsure if I have bipolar or not, I have been told by friends that they think I do. I haven't seen a doctor because I don't think my symptoms are that severe. I...
Kitt, I am so sorry you are feeling poorly. I don't know if this will help but I hope so, you sound so very much like my own mother when it comes to her worrying about me. She tells me that she gets...
Along with my depression and anxiety I think I am dealing with an addiction in the mix as well, is there place here where I can discuss that as well?...
Not much to add here, just wanted to thank the eagle for his well thought out and supportive post....
I always hate it when someone says something along the lines of "well everyone has stress and feels bad, thats just life" That one is particularly bad because it erases hope of things getting better...
Bubbles, You are so welcome, I am glad I was able to help. I think it can be most helpful to talk to people in similar situations as you. I feel like I just got to hear the a small portion of what is...
Thanks StKitt, Once upon a time I made an appointment with a counselor here at school, but I chickened out when the appointment came around, the reason was I just knew I would sit there and break...
Also to Raniah, You seem to have a good perspective on your problems. I am so sorry you had to live with that abuse. I can't imagine anyone being able to abuse a woman but I know it happens. I have...
This thread hits home for me, a lot of my problems, although not all, stem from the fact that I'm not able to forgive myself. Honestly though forgiveness to me be needs to be deserved and in my case...
Hello I am new the the HealingWell boards, my name is Dan and I am a 22 year old college student. Although I haven't been diagnosed with either I believe I suffer from anxiety and depression. Hi...
Jezzie, Thank you so much for your kind post. It gives me hope just to think that I might make a friend like you. I will try to follow your advice, I keep trying to forgive myself for the past but I...
Still waiting to meet more of you :-)...
I know what you mean, sometimes I stay up until all hours of the night so that when I hit the pillow i'm just too exhausted to think, otherwise I will just worry myself into anxiety and depression. I...
Eddie, I know that the feeling of "love" especially when you are losing someone can feel overwhelming, I am sure you are feeling almost in a panic about no longer having them in your life, but what I...
Raniah, Thank you for your quick reply, its nice to sometimes have some instant gratification. It seems like we've been posting on a lot of the same topics, both depression and anxiety so we probably...
Bubbles, I really connect with what you are saying. I feel very much like this a lot of the time, though my symptoms are different. I lead a very similar life to yours and share your fears. Sometimes...
Hello I am new to the forums as well, Thank you for your post, that kind of feeling is so common to me. You distract yourself with something happy but at the end of the day you are unable to get the...
Eddie I don't know your whole story but my suggestion would be to.. just let it go. I could be completely off base but in my experience when a relationship ends it is usually for the best, if love...
Thanks for posting. I understand how you feel, I personally have had many relationship woes in the past. Most importantly just realize that you have both made a equal decision in being together, he...
Gabby! Please don't let the despair overwhelm you! I don't want to give you advice or preach to you I just want to let you know that this world and this life having terrible but also amazing things...
