I've been involved in a 12 step program for years.Someone said something last night that got me wondering...Is it possible for a Politician,used car salesman or an attorney to work a rigoriously honest program? The reason this came up is that these careers tend to operate in self serving gray areas or sometines outright lies,just to protect their own interest,make a profit, or to retain/get more power.There are three types of lies:

#1. Lies of comission,where people just don't tell the truth,and outright lie.

#2.Lies of omission,where people tell part of a story,but not everything that needs to be known.Just to protect themselves from consequenses or loss.

#3.Lies of asention,where people act like they agree with you,but in reality they don't agree with you at all.

In these Careers people "usually" tell these lies on a daily basis.So how can they do that,and work a rigorously honest program?

I say "usually" because not all of them lie,or are in recovery.

Well, I am a failure at most things. It takes more motivation than I can muster up just to make it to work and school everyday. I've screwed up in school so much, and probably won't be able to finish anytime this century. I never follow through with anything and never finish tasks, and it seems like nothing is ever going to change. I will never be like a normal person because I have so many illnesses like bipolar, ADD, OCD, anxiety disorder. Why do people act like I can do anything any normal person can do? Shouldn't I just accept the fact that I will be less than other people? Sure I can, or could act differently and be successful. But in reality I'm not going to. I'm just born to be a failure and a loser. I think I should just accept my lower place in the world as a underacheiver.

hi, i know this might sound weird to some, but i have a massive fear of meeting someone when i'm out clubbing etc...i'm 24 and i'm not a bad looking lad, i am not really short of offers but when i get approached by a girl i often say "i have a girlfriend" :/

i have only really had 1 girlfriend and sexual partner (18) and when we split up, i kissed another girl in a club - thing is (embarrsing to say) but i was useless...now ive been scared for life through it :/ i just try to avoid it.

i'm 100% straight, i love girls...but of couse my friends are talking wondering if i'm gay or not...thing is i'm just scared of embarrassment, i know its something i need to get out of though as ive already turned down girls most lads would shoot me with a shotgun if they knew lol.

can somebody tell me i get out of this? (ie without talking to a doctor) as i don't think they can give any advice, but its defantly psychological, thanks for the help.

I share this small office with him alone and he dictates his letters crouched on the floor in a corner behind me. I temp in the same hospital a lot and this is the first time I've worked for him. I work for someone else now (I float around the hospital as a secretary) and how he's asked me to work for him again, but under that situation, I'm reluctant.

I have always had loads of energy and been a positive person, now I can't be bothered with things I used to love to do. No reason for this and I would love to find my motivation again. Has anyone felt like this and what did they do to get back to normal. Please let me know.

Over the past week I have had this horrid feeling of sadness. I am not taking any medication, am sleeping perfectly and as far as I am aware, I have no reason to feel sad about.

I have completely lost interest in my hobbies/interests and really don't feel like going out at the moment. Just feel like some time alone.

I have no idea why I feel like this and almost everything in my life could be perfect. But at the moment its really bugging me!

I am meant to be going on a mad adventure in Wales this weekend which I have been looking forward to for a while now and I know that if I went when i'm feeling normal I would absolutely love it, but at the moment, I just don't feel like going...

This loss in enthusiasum is really annoying me and I just can't shake it.
Any Suggestions?

I can't manage to sleep for more that about 3 - 4 hours at the moment, no matter what time I go to bed. Falling asleep isn't the problem - it's staying asleep. I tend to wake up in the small hours and that's it for the rest of the night - and then I spend the rest of the day completely exhausted.

By the way, I really, really don't want to resort to sleeping pills, so does anyone have any practical tips?

I have been a Christian for a little over 10 years now and I find that the more stressful life becomes the more I want to die. I dont want to kill myself. I want to go home to heaven and get away from this world. My life is really not that bad but heaven just sounds so much bettter. I even get depressed sometimes because I'm not dead yet. This is really selfish because I am married with 4 kids. Of course this adds a bit of stress to the situation. I just wanted to throw this out and see what people thought.

or lose touch with reality..reason i say this is because i spend all the time in my own world, on myspace, living in non reality. and when i do go out im full of panic an anxiety, i cant look at anyone in the eyes, i feel alot of paranoia to, about peoples lookin at me, im still very much full of anger and rage, which i used to have alot of and everytime i went out i used to have aggressive rage outbursts at people and put myself in alot of danger..well that hasnt really gone away, i just think ive learned to deal with it better. but i live in fear of totally exploding with rage, i keep myself inside all the time, but when i do this to. i struggle with extreme low moods, i feel horrendous and have nightmares, plus have racing thoughts alot. i get worried& scared that in the future or now i wont be able to deal with reality, & have my needs met. have a job, move away, get my own house, have a girlfriend. as i realise u can only get all these when your mentally well, how will i survive ?
