Please don't give-up hope yet. You are only 25 and it sounds like you haven't exhausted every avenue. Have you tried self-help? A very good book is Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers. Have you tried daily affirmations? A very good site is www.greatday.com by Ralph Marston...

This is so sick I can't believe it! What kind of horrible, demon kids were these! I am so sorry that you were attacked and abused by these f*kwads! Sounds like the animalistic mob mentality frame of mind was in full swing. The adult in this situation makes me sick to my stomach. What a...

Please don't kill yourself. I have attempted it and survived and have lived in pain for many years until I found the right attitude to handle the negatives in my life. Now I'm so glad that I survived. It took years of effort to change my perspective but it was worth it. I have learned how to...

If there is not a group near you, you can make-up your own group. Good luck in your search.
