I'm one of those people who thinks everyone's pretty, even if it takes some time to search for it. I haven't really thought of anyone ugly unless he/she was a terrible person.

So many people suffer from depression, anxiety, some people just worry too much, and are afraid of risk.

You only live once...so live it to the fullest.

Remember that next time you're depressed. The mind is a very powerful tool, and can overcome depression and anxiety I truly believe.

Don't women read the Bible, and see how badly they are looked upon in it? They still get the shaft when they want to be ministers or priests, so why support the misogyny that Christianity represents?

Do you think that it should be classified as a disorder or is it simply a different set of personality traits? Is it ethical to treat it? What are your opinions regarding hyperfocus?

Sources or good site recommendations would be a plus :)

Thanks for answering!

I don't know why, but I get angry so easily and then I hold on to grudges for a long time. I mean, the smallest thing sets me off. I don't think I have a temper, I just quietly get angry on the inside. I hate this about myself.

I've always had a "heavy soul" and have had problems letting go. I never know who to turn to when these problems arise, because I don't feel close to anyone- either because they're creating the problem or I just know they wouldn't understand.
This past year, I've been through extreme ups and downs- and an incredibly passionate relationship that I don't know what to make of- and all of these problems build up inside of me. I end up being paranoid about everyone and scared to death about what could happen. However, to the general public, I'm the optimistic girl that's always giggling and having a ball... deep down, I know things are going to be alright, I can't deny the part of me that's scared to death... because I really am. I feel like I'm being oppressed by society.
I want things to change- but how? I know a lot of people, and most are just shallow- the rest I just can't relate to. But I hate being so closed up, because I know that it doesn't help. How can I "hang in there"?

I had a dream the other night about this girl and I, whom I didnt know, being chased by two pitbulls. One of the pitbulls managed to bit down on my hand really hard, but I felt no pain and eventually he let go. After that I escaped from the dog and locked myself in a public restroom stall and peeped over the door, while standing on the toilet looking at the barking dogs ( this girl I didnt know was doing the same thing ). ........And then later in the dream, I was havind sex with some random guy. What does this mean?

I always wondered what it means. Does it mean she looks mysterious? She's a "foreigner?" I see that word used frequently on here to describe a non-American woman. Why can't American woman be exotic looking? Or is it usually "other than" your own race/nationality? Or non-white?

Evolution and creationism are often presented as if one cannot exist as long the other exists. People take sides and declare themselves evolutionists or creationists and they are sworn enemies.
Where do the two theories/concepts actually conflict?

"...that they're not from some med school in the Philippines."

The furor over a slur uttered against Philippine medical schools on the premier episode of the fourth season of the American TV show "Desperate Housewives" has prompted a response from Malacañang Palace.

Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the TV show belittled the abilities of Filipino doctors and sent a message that Philippine medical schools produced "substandard, inferior" medical practitioners.

The offending remark was made by one of the show's desperate housewives, Susan Mayer (played by American actress Teri Hatcher). In one scene Mayer asks for the credentials of the gynecologist who examined her and told her that she was approaching menopause.

Mayer said, "Can I check those diplomas 'coz I just want to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Philippines." The premiere episode, which has been posted on YouTube.com, drew criticisms from the Filipino community on the Internet.

I know a kid who's parents went through a divorce and his step dad (the only dad he ever knew from 8 months old) took away his last name (when the boy was 15) claiming it wasn't "a legal adoption" and the boy wasn't acting like a (last name) because he wasn't handling the divorce so well. I believe this man with drew this boys identity the only name he ever knew. Interesting however, this step dad was adopted and this last name isn't even his by blood. I don't get how someone can do this to a child.

I have to no trust anymore for counsellors after she told me to talk to the prof about my problems in her naive believe that he would be compassionate to me. My prof was a jerk. He ended calling the police on me thinking I am must be suicidal bc my parents are ill and I have a lot of drama going on. He didn't bother to tell me it was him until after the refund date. Now, I am too depressed to do his assignments. I hate him. Why would I kill myself if I want to care for my parents? The police came and wanted me to admit to be suicidal and said they would handcuff me if I admitted to it? That is so dumb. Luckily they believe me and left but they still caused emotional stress for my parents, especially my dad who had recently had a heart attack. However, I can't forget this ordeal. The counsellor are stupid for giving me bad advice. I don't think I can trust another counsellor again. I hate the Prof and wish never see him again. I never go to class anymore.
