Also, I easily feel guilty for many things. It's like if I get an A I would feel guilty about it, and if I didn't I feel bad all the same. Going and doing some shopping makes me feel crappy as well, because then I feel like by doing so I am only thinking about myself, etc. This may seem silly to you, but everything is so difficult. It mean it seems like no matter what I do I don't feel like I'm good enough. Help?

Have you ever considered the possibility that our world is actually a snowglobe-like object? What if someone in an even greater universe than our own is watching us, just as we watch the snow falling in our own snowglobes? It seems to me that there is no proof denying this...any thoughts?
