I am having trouble sleeping, and my doctor has said there is nothing wrong physically, it's all mental. I would like to see a psychologist, but how much are they per visit (I assume every visitation is 1 hour.. ? ) and also, if someone knows, how many visits would I need to cure such as my problem?

As a child growing up I was always known as Mike's (my popular older brother) fugly little fatso sister! Almost everyone one in school ridiculed me about my weight. I would sit in class enduring insult from every direction, feeling like crap as kids through paper balls at me. I would come home crying everyday after school, ashamed of what I was. Mike’s fugly little fatso sister!!! Basically I had a horrible childhood.

Anyway let me get to the point…
My brother’s best friend Jake use to come over to our house like everyday, and like any freshmen girl in my high school thought he was the hottest senior in school. So, I cut his picture out of the yearbook and paste it in my diary, writing my heart out about how I was hopelessly in love Jake Thomson. Soooo… one day I forgot my diary in the living room. And of course my brother and Jake were in the living room goofing around and watching TV. At the time I had no idea my diary was missing, and I definitely did NOT think Jake would find and read my diary!

When I finally found out he had read my diary in was too late. He went around school telling everyone what I wrote. How I was so very hopelessly in LOVE with him, and planned to merry him on day. He even told everyone how my dad would call me his “little butterball”! You know like the butterball turkey? I want to commit suicide everyday I was force to go to school, however I didn’t I just end up eating more and getting ever fatter.

Jake made fun of me more then anyone in school: pushing me out of the way whenever I was around, constantly making malicious false rumors about me. He NEVER gave up an opportunity to humiliate me!

Finally my parents got sick and tired of me coming home crying everyday, from all the teasing at school. So, the next thing I knew I was off to an all girl boarding school in New York, were I over the years lost weight. No longer the FUGLY LITTLE FATSO BUTTERBALL! I became the tall, beautiful girl, who later on in life became a model.

It’s been years since high school, and I see him… Jake! At a club, the azz who made my life an absolute living nightmare! Though now he’s not so much of an azzhole anymore… and I realize even though he made me feel so bad… I like the person he is now… or appears to be. He has apologized a million times, and I do believe he is truly being honest, however my friends and family think differently. They think he’s just playing nice because of my looks. Jake has been nothing but nice to me for the pass two months since we bumped in to each other at my brother’s club. He’s constantly trying to get me to go out on a date with him, and I’m constantly telling him NO; when secretly kinda wanna go out with him to. He really seems like he has changed a lot and though I have not forgotten I forgive him. Jake treated me so badly all those years… now he treats me better then any guy has ever treated me in my life.


Should I give him a chance and go out with him or should I tell him to shove it???
Should I forgive and forget?

If you ignore someone who did you wrong, you were very close to, but won't admit it...do you think that person will feel it and regret it and eventually in time realize how wrong they were and apologize...even in time? My ex did this to me and I defintily voiced myself and said some hurtful things and kept telling that person how wrong it was, on my part I will admit I couldn't let it go and reminded him how messed up he was. So, in a way, I never gave him time to miss me and realize I am not there anymore. Now I am really fed up and have closed myself off from this person. I gave him plenty of oppurtunities to confront me and genuinly apologize, I did get an apology, but dont feel it was sincere. and I feel I was taken advantage of. Maybe I let him take advantage of me too much? Threatning that I dont want him in my life anymore, but still making my presence? In the end, I just wanted a genuine apology, he was so compassionate when i knew him, how can someone turn this way??

How did you envision your life when you were younger? How does this vision compare to your current reality?

We all had dreams of what we were to become early on in life. How did these dreams compare to how you ended up?

I really don't understand how 'scientists' can reconstruct what a human nose looked like. Isn't the nose composed mostly of cartilage and flesh? I have never seen a skull ( I've been to the killing fields in Kampuchia) that ever had anything except a hole where the nose was. How do they really know if Dante's nose had a hook on it?

It's like when you're being verbally abused you don't care either unless it threatens your existence. And even in that case you're not mad at the person who's verbally or physically abusing you but the circumstances. Moreover, I can't enjoy nothing that I used to enjoy: neither music, nor reading, nor movies. I slept 10 hours last night. The first day it was 13 hours, the 2nd day - 12... It never happened before unless I was tired or smth.

Most importantly, enjoying smth. is still not as important as loving someone or caring about someone. Plus I completely lost sense of what good and evil is; actually, I know what they are but it's simply a memory now, knowledge but not the feeling itself. I went to church and they didn't give me the answer. What is happening? Is it temporary or for good? When will I CARE AGAIN?
