well i was in Love with someone and he died almost a year ago. i dont know how do deal with it and i have been confused on what to think. untill now i havent been even semi-comfortable about talking about it.
i was in love with him and then, just like that, he was gone. i do not know how to deal with this happening to me. i write letters to him all the time, they are in a shoebox under my bed. i was the only one to ever make him smile, that alone, knowing that he was happy, made me happy. i loved him more than you would know..

i just want to know what i can do to make myself feel better. ever since his death i have been constantly thinking about him and i have felt just awful.. someone please help me..

please, do not tell me i am too young to love... i know what love feels like and it was the very feeling in my stomach when i saw him..

my situation is that i don't know how to talk to people my age and i feel that it had to do with my past. i was born differently then most and so i had faced some tremendous obsticles being born differently then others. i was teased and was always tryin to fit in with different crowds because i wanted to be accepted by others.
throughout my life it was very difficult to wake up and to know that this would never end. now i feel that i am in a better place then before and however there are some pieces of my past left in me. because i'm very cautious with people hurting my feelings and so forth i don't comunicate much with others and it has gotten to the point where i feel like i can't comunicate with family members and people in school. because i act this way, people get the wrong impression of me without thinkin that i might be a shy person so my question is how do i get over my low self esteem and show people who i'm really am ? i find it so hard to get out of this, how do i do it ?

How do I cope with my fathers anger and dimentia. He argues about his finances. He can't manage them anymore. He feels no one cares for him. But we do. I am the primary care giver. I've handled all his life decisions for 4 years now since his stroke. Sometimes its so over whelming for me. I hear all his complaints and he is just never satisfied. He is now 93 years old and still fiesty as ever. How do I cope?. Is anyone in a similar situation?

Please help me. I dont need ridicule, i need information and help.
I really want to know how to lose all of my emotions. I have tried, but it doesnt work. It only conceals them for a short while. I am tired of people criticizing me for being over active and just plain uncontrollable because of my emotions. One second im angry. The next, im happy, then the next, im depressed. How do i get rid of them? My toungue is inflicted by my emotions, my toungue of which has got me beat up, and i cannot control it.
Please help me.

I'm 99% positive that I suffer from Adult ADD, I've the symptons and pretty much everything fits with my problems.
This is really taking a toll on my grades in college, I'm doing worse and worse each time and it's really frustrating. I've tried looking for places to get tested, the closest I found was at Harbor UCLA Medical Center, but they wanted $600 for the testing and told me I had to wait until May to take the test. I've spoken with other places that could do it sooner, but they want either $700 or $750 for the testing, and that's money I just don't have. I have medical insurance, Kaiser Permanente, but they said that they do not pay for any testing. Basically, I'm S.O.L.
So is this my only option? Are their any other options out there that are more affordable? Can someone please help me get started in the right direction?

I developed phobia when I was 19 or 20 and somehow managed to get over it.
It came back when I was under A LOT of stress in August and hasn't gone away.
I have good days and bad days.
Its a phobia of my heart.
I'm not sure if its a phobia of it stopping or of it beating or both.
Does anybody else have this problem?
I've been taking a herbal remedy called Kalms but I don't want to rely on them and I know this is all in my mind and keep telling myself that but I can't stop thinking about it.
I would never harm myself because I have too much to live for with my partner,son and dog.
They keep me going.
Its so hard though.

I used to not think that way though. But I feel like in high school how you look determines wheter or not you will like the next four years of your life! The pretty girls are popular because they have loads of confidence and guys go ga-ga over them.

Popularity isn't everything, I know that. I'm not concerned about being popular. I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin. My self esteem is looow. I feel so ugly sometimes. (My hair is short, my lips are huge, my nose looks weird, my chest is as flat as a board, and my eyes are plain and boring. See what I mean about the whole self-esteem thing??) I hear the girls at my school say the meanest things! I hear them say stuff like:
"she has THE ugliest smile I've ever seen"
"he's not hot! He's soo ugly"
I can't stand the thought of some1 saying that stuff about me! me feeling so ugly all the time has affected my school life. I have no friends and I hardly speak in class. Does any1 have adive for me? Please and thank you! :)

I was recently told I have a short circut in my brain that doesn't process information. When I said to her 'a pill is not going to help me learn. It's not a get-smart pill.' If it were, I would've had one after every meal. When I told her it won't help smart me up, she says I'm not listening. But I repeated back every single word she just said and she answers she never said that. I've tried my college counselor and - again, I'm told I'm not trying hard enough or "Sorry, we can't help you with that." I've looked, search, hunted and asked, but they act like I'm just talking casually to them, like, "I think it's going to rain," "Hi, how are you?"

Someone please help. Why meds and not acknowledge the difficulties one has?

I had a really strange dream last night that I was walking to my next class, when a guy in front of me (i used to have feelings for him) suddenly collapsed and couldn't breath. I was panicking and then he got up and started walking to me. He had a very concerned look on his face and I couldn't look at him because I was crying whenever I saw looked at his face. I kept saying, "Please don't look at me right now. I can't take it." Then I woke up.

and she went an hour over the limit talking. I think its cool that she is into hearing what her patients have to say. Its crazy that I have to have a social worker and a psychiatrist team to work on everything. I feel like they are my paid family now.Does it suck that they are the only ones who know what is going on with me now?
