My friend just called me up , he wants to watch this new movie that just came out . I said yea sure , cuz we haven't hanged out in a long while.
But the thing is that I lost my job few days ago , and he kind of looks up to me . I graduated with an engineering degree but never was able to hold down a steady job.
I don't want to tell him because i don't want him to think " AGAIN"?

I am gonna extensively start looking for a job ( any job ) starting tomorrow . But today how should i forget my situation and just enjoy this movie?
What should I do ?

I have a very soft-spoken voice and even in a small group if I say something, sometimes I'm overpowered by others. This young woman will somehow hear me and will ask me to repeat what I said so she can listen. She occasionally gives me advice on my problems with guys. It was hard for me to open up but I did little by little over the past few months. I even started to reach out and interact more. But I'm worried about interacting TOO much. Right before the holidays, I naturally reverted back to my quiet and shy mode. She started to make an effort to get me talking again.

Any conclusions or insight on either of us?

Fear of Aging? How do you Get Over It?

We live in a world that is obsessed with looks. There are many that have to face a fear of their loss youth and may feel depressed and resentful.

What if you could change your mind about aging? What if you could bring back the joy that you felt in your youth? How can people accept and live thier lives like they were young again and let themselves enjoy thier aging process and yet feel like thier youth and being able to welcome changes?

Is there anything we can do or any suggestions to help people through the again process? Is aging a true gift? What can we do spiritually?

Hi

I live alone which can be a struggle and lonely some times, I split up with long term financee a couple of years back. Since then I had small relationships which have ended up in heart ache, guess I know how to pick em lol.

My confidence is very low and I am feeling very low, bit lonely also I guess espeically at weekends. I recently started seeing this women its now a couple of months in, and found out on xmas eve she done the dirty on me.

Does anyone else have a rough few years like this, does it get better and all work out for the best in the end? I feel like giving up, sick of going to work coming home to empty house and getting hurt in relationships.

I hate being by myself and on my own.

Every year just after the New Year celebrations I usually get really low and this seems to last until about the beginning of March. I know I suffer from S.A.D so I'm not too concerned about that but what does bug me is the way I feel right now. I feel low, dissatisfied and generally fed up but I do not know why. Its hard to explain it, but I have a need to start changing things, little things, just because its a new year. In reality I couldnt give a stuff about Jan 1st, its just a date, so why do I get the urge to change things? Earlier I wanted to move the furniture about in the bedroom and put up different curtains, even though I had a major op and am supposed to be resting. My hubby, bless him, was shifting the wardrobe and pulling up rugs just because it had to be done right there and then, I couldn't wait! Then I got depressed because I do not know why I feel this way and now I feel like ****. Please, someone tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Blessings

Is there a particular type of food/foods and/or diet that help with depression? Perhaps somebody knows of a website I can visit on this subject....when I say diet I don't mean a weight reduction type diet per se...I mean are there dietary changes that could be made to help?

I suffer depression, & I haven't left the house in over a week. Most of the time I can't even get out of bed. I've had stuffy nose & stuff like that. But anyway, I usually eat well, but I've been eating little to nothing per day. & in the past few days, I'd eat 1 pack of dry Ramen noodles/day. & for a long time, I've been so depressed that I can't do anything. Well, I find myself holding my urine in for a long time & waiting until the last minute (when my bladder feels like it's about to burst) to go use the bathroom. I don't do this on purpose. I'm so depressed I can barely move. It's a HUGE struggle to get out of bed to even go pee.

I know that when I was in grade school, the teachers never let us use the bathroom, & that was a pain in the butt.

Also, within the last week, I've cried like 2 or 3 times, & I've been feeling like crying a lot lately.

Did you know theres lots of different reasons for ocd? It could be low or high throid levels that give you depression and ocd. Its hormone imbalance that gives it you too (male or famale). theres MS (multiple syrosis), defects from when in the womb (liek i was told by 2 specialists) they said my mum had a fever and when she was pregnant with me and one of my brain nerves got affected and during age 0 to 11 i was ok. but they said that the reality of it comes to light when your body lacks nutrients i.e. during puberty. thats when it starts and it explains why mine started at 11. i started my periods then. also lyme disease. please google it to find out more. but i have seen a lymes specialist too. he said similar stuff but i am doing a degree at the moment so i cant try his meds at the moment coz im scared it will ruin m y last yr of degree. take care :)
ps contact me for furtehr details if you want. America have found out that electrical impulses in brain can make it better by 80%.

Right now I'm feeling very depressed and no matter what I do I can't seem to get my mind off of the fact that my life sucks.
Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to feel better and take my mind off of things? I have an appointment on Thursday with a psychiatrist so hopefully he can help me in some way, but I don't know what to do with myself in the meantime.

For the longest time now probably since i was 10 or 11 i stopped feeling certain feelings. lol not the good one. I basically have two emotions happy or neutral. I can laugh and get happy but not excited. I can deduce whether im being wronged or not but i dont get angry or any other word you choose to call it. I dont like certain things but im not moved one way or the other. Deaths dont bother me and i can only sympathize from a logical standpoint(ex. someone experiences death/ i know to respond to that by being cautious with words and using supportive gestures) but i cannot empathize because i dont feel those things. Im never mad, sad, gloomy, depressed and i didnt experience trauma around the time i noticed i was more or less emotionally imbalanced. The only time i respond aggressively is when im threatened with physical violence otherwise no im pretty calm. Would this be considered an issue or should i be thankful i dont go through all that other stuff?

I don't know why, and it's not as if i'm trying to make it happen, but the other day i recaled something that seemed so real. I had a memory just all of a sudden that my aunt molested me as a child. As a couple of days pass it becomes even more vivid. I'm scarred because i belive she is molesting my neice now. I'm 23 now, and the memory i recall is one from at least 3 or 4. I know it might seem strange, but my memory can even stretch back to at least one or two. Please help me! What should i do? I have been abused before, but i knew these people. This is the first time anything like this has ever come to mind. I know that no one will belive me, but i need to know for myself because it would help to put a lot of things that i remember about my child hood and about me as an adult in perspective. I trying to move with my life now, I haven't recalled any old data from my childhood on purpose. At times things may just pop up in my mind, but it's only temporary i have moved on, or am trying.

I dont know whether he is dealing in drugs or just schitzophrenic. I do know that he has two big , mean dogs who is keeping everyone in the neighborhood upset. and when my mom and I went to him to ask him to get his dogs to quit trying to attack the neighbors, he threw us out of his house. We never threatened him. He was the one who threatened. . What do I need to do to get the authorities ( police ) to investigate this guy? I am afraid he will eventually hurt someone, because of his previous actions. We think his wife is afraid of him too, because of the way she acted when he was in the room. .

I have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was nine years old, and since around that time I have lived as two-the one before and the one that appeared mid-childhood. When alone, or with people I have known since I was nine I am Amelia. And when I am at school (sophomore) or around strangers of any kind I am an insecure young girl, Lucie. It has never been and ideal situation, but it worked well enough. Neither of us have control over the other, we are seperate. The people I could really trust took the time to get to know both of us. Within the past year or so though, different people have been popping out of strange places. I will speak in a different voice, and do all sorts of things both Amelia and Lucie would be horrified by. Some of them are cruel. It creates trouble, and having so many voices in my head holding conversations and watching for an opportunity to surface is maddening. Each one of us is afraid of dissapearing, of dying. What is happening?
