I haven't had a girlfriend in years. My heart is being a heterosexual (I want to have a wife and kids) but you're constantly having homosexual thoughts now; what the heck is wrong with me? Is it anxiety, fear of rejection, etc... I need help.

I'm curious what my 4 year old is thinking or going through. He's extremely smart. I don't know what his functioning level is yet... I want to help him to get better, so if there's any suggestions on how I can help him to focus without feeling pressured, that too would be extremely helpful.

I am a college student and my major is one that attracts mostly males and mostly geeks (not always a bad thing). I really like this guy that I have a class with but he is always really nervous, shy and basically acts like he's scared of the world 24-7. He is really smart and I would really like to get to know him better if only he would let me. I want to know how to approach him in a way that won't scare him off, will make him comfortable and allow him to open up to me. I know that is all up to him but anything I could do to help would probably make it a thousand times easier on him. I don't know if he has ever had a serious relationship before... I'm positive he is a virgin... I just want to make this a comfortable thing for him, if he is interested in me, too, that is. I can barely get him to talk to me about anything except homework... I just want to try my best to make this a happy experince for him, not a scary one. Thank you for your help with this 'issue.'

I'm trying to get over two rapes, one happened almost a year ago. I never reported it, because I was afraid no one would believe me (I had told one of my mothers friends who is a police officer and he dismissed me). The other happened less than a month ago, and I'm still having nightmares. I haven't told anyone about that anyone except for a friend...I'm afraid of being dismisses again. My question being, how in gods name am I supposed to get over these? (Therapy, I'm sad to say, is not an option. My mother hasn't done anything about getting our insurance back, and I have no extra money).

I can barely function right now.

At this point in my life, I seem to be an irreversable wreck. I am in deep debt, have too many high expectations for myself, have literally NO friends, am very lonely, have thought about Suicide uncontrollably, am always depressed, always feel like I have no purpose, etc..Is Bi-Polar REAL?! What are some reasons to live that I can repeat to myself when this overwhelming depression sweeps over me?! What can I smile to in my mind the next time I feel that God has forsaken me and that I am going nowhere with my life?? It is the most horrible feeling in the world, to gradually lose your mind like this...I have lost interest in everything, and can't stop thinking about anything but my strong desire to just KNOW that God really loves me, or that I have a purpose to move on!! I need so much help, but professionals are just putting me into even deeper debt...Someone help me...I always fear I am doomed, and I sincerely cannot handle it. I'm not strong enough for this.

My mother in law has always despised me, and now her other daughter in law, for 'taking her son away from her'. She has always tried to cause arguements and turmoil between my husband and I, for the past 21 yrs. She is now doing the same to her other son and his wife who recently married. She has been complaining recently to my husband that she lost him 21 years ago, I took him from her. Me and my sister in law are at the point where we do not want to talk to her or be around her. Her remarks make us sick. There is no telling her anything because it's never her, it's everyone else. She has other issues but this one is really strange and sickening. She has re-married a man who is 4 years older than my husband.
