i hate social anxiety. i havent had it in a long time but this year and last it seems to be getting worse. i was trying to "embrace my loneliness" which was working until i went to class the last couple of days. i think some of it is im just older and im expecting to be able to relate to...

What do you all think of this quote by Nelson Mandela: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous...

without going into a lot of details, ive decided its time to stop running from my loneliness, to stop being ashamed of it, and to stop trying to make it go away. instead, im going to embrace it. Ive stopped indulging in self-pity. the thoughts still come up, but i dont entertain them. instead...

Last Wednesday was my last day of the semester. i was excited that it was the last day and i wanted to celebrate, but had no one to celebrate with. as i left my class a bunch of people were standing outside talking about how excited they were and what should they all go do, etc. so i called my...

not over anything big...im just frustrated. i have to turn in my paper tomorrow and i cant write it. its on evolution. i just dont get it. i dont get why just because two proteins have similar sequence of amino acids in one part that they are related. i just dont get it. why does it have to be...

....because you are trying to prevent tomorrow from coming? that's about where im at. its 4am. im up. i should be in bed. i just really dont want to deal with tomorrow. im absolutely exhausted and i know tomorrow is going to be hell, but i stay up all night anyway just searching the web. i...

ive started to think that what makes people depressed is that we have so much to share, but no where to share it. in daily social life its not appropriate to delve into the deep meanderings of our souls, and so we have to hold in what is really important to us. we have to entertain idle...

ive been having one of those weeks...shitty. i cry randomly, feel alone, and get pissed off easily. i dont know what it is, i have no idea what's causing it. its pretty frustrating. i go to bed pissed off, i wake up pissed off, and i try to think as little as possible to keep my self manageable...

I plan on visiting south carolina in a few weeks and have been looking for a restaurant that is out on a pier. i have searched and cannot find anything. ive found a few restaurants that are at the beginning of the pier (Pier 14, folly's pier, apache, etc), but nothing where the restaurant is...

Im just going to get straight to the point. I hate my sister with a passion. my sister and her loser boyfriend came to stay with my husband and i about a year ago. suffice it to say, we helped them immensely. but apparently for her it wasnt enough. she talked badly about my H and i behind our...

this is kind of complicated so bare with me. ive never actually sorted out my thoughts on the matter. but here it goes. Im in a rut. i want to be more financially independent, but my motivation to do so seems to be lacking. My H is the sole bread winner. I go to school and he pays for...

Im not a particularly religious person but after prop 8 i started thinking about this topic more. the mormons, and a lot of religious people, are extremely opposed to the idea of homosexuals marrying because its a institution ordained by god. marriage, they say, is between a man and a women so...

First of all can i just say, I love this forum- there is no where else on the planet i would feel comfortable saying this...lol. BUT im so excited! i actually made a friend and i think we actually get along. this almost never happens for me- especially since ive been married. i seriously have...

I am in school right now but when i get out and need a job one of my biggest fears is a job reference. I have always hated this. The only reference I have is a boss from over five years ago. I doubt she'd even remember me. it so embarrassing for me. and when they ask for a personal reference i...

Its been a rough couple of weeks. My H has been out of town and Ive been extremely lonely. I have no friends, no one. While my H was away I thought we were really starting to communicate, starting to get along. I was really looking forward to him coming home. He was away for about two weeks. I...
