A news report today says that one in twelve people living in Phoenix, Arizona is an illegal alien. Utterly amazing. Although I have nothing against our major immigrant population, one is compelled to wonder at the social ramifications of such a large group of people from this background. What have its effects on the economy been? On other aspects of life? What are you thinking?

im a bpd and ptsd sufferer, im 30 years old. my plight now is to recover from these illnesses.....accomplish a happy life....attain things ive never had.... a loving woman....friends....move away from the uk to a nice hot place

but the problem is, ive prematurley aged quite bad, im an ' old ' 30, not a young looking 30.
im bald, i have physical imperfections, damaged nerves in my right knuckle...two missing teeth...at the front, bottom row.

i have torn ankle tendons in my right ankle..

i have a crooked little finger due to mallet finger, where i injured it.
my face has aged....dark lines under my eyes..
im trying to save up for dental implants.
but im worrying because its not like i will be able to attract an attractive partner once ive worked on my problems..

who will want me?
its all about looks now, and looking young, having a full head of hair, young skin. full set of teeth etc..

does anyone else have an opinion about this or is aged & has imperfections?

I cannot stand being around too much cement and the thought of living in a high-rise, stacked up like boxed animals is repulsive. How can you live that way? And take elevators just to get outside? Seriously, I wouldn't pay a dollar to buy a place like that...how do you feel human and live that way? I'm serious...

ok so i was in the gym of a highschool that i dont go to, i was stretching as if i was going to have a game or practice for something, and my friend eric leans over and says that the girl i like "likes me more than any guy she's ever liked before" and so i get a really good feeling, and i go find her, and she was waiting for me at the door to the gym, throughout the dream it was kind of loud, but when i see her its like shes the only other person in the dream and it gets quiet so its just us, i ask her out and she says she cant atleast for right now because she plays volleyball and she thinks it would get in the way of that, and we have a really long hug and i just feel so content with my entire life, as though nothing is wrong at all and everything is perfect. i start to realize its a dream but i'm still filled with bittersweet feelings because i know she cares about me and i just wake up feeling kind of sad but really glad at the same time, any ideas on what it means?

had a dream that i wouldnt cal pleasant nor unpoleasant but it was somewhat scary if that makes any sence. i visited the same location twoce in the dream, once by myself, and a second time with my girlfriend, the location was a sort of park/garden and the way into it was through a sort of tunnel that went under a berm or small hill covered in grass and trees, the tunnel wasn't very long though you could see the garden on the other side. there was water dripping and in some places running out of the ceiling of the tunnel/passageway and water flowing into the garden along the floor. first visit i went through with no problem , i walked in and saw a nice pond and a lot of trees and greenery, i came back with my girlfriend straight away and noticed when i was halfway through that there were now large tusked pigs in the garden and some dog like animal that looked menacing. i realize very acutely that i was in a narrow tunnel and it would take no time at all for one of these.....

I can swear it gets worse. Whenever I get the spotlight in any way (such as public speaking) I've always had anxiety worse than other people. Lately, it's gotten so much worse. Whenever it becomes my turn to talk in smaller social situations, like as a student in class or even in a group I feel the fear, and it strikes me hard. I can't think at that point, and sometimes I start to stutter and can't finish what I was saying.

I don't know what I need but whatever it is I need it quick, as this condition of mine seems to be getting worse. Is this a mental disorder? It took me a long while to realize that it is anxiety.

If you know anything at all that would help (i.e. types of vitamins or exercise) please let me know. Or if you can point me in the right track (websites, medical). All legit. answers are greatly appreciated.

I keep having dreams about rape. But they're all different

The first one, one of my guy friends does it. Someone I really dont' like in that way!

One really freaked me out cause it was this random dude who was at my house for some reason or another and I could like feel him inside of me. It was so scary and horrible feeling and there was a woman there too who was just watching and like enjoying watching him rape me.

And then I had another where me and my friend were sitting on a wall and this dude came to steal something sitting on the ground next to us and I was like "u can have it" and for some reason he though I was going to tell on him so he pulled me down and said like "there's more than one way to keep a girl quiet" or something and raped me and I think he might have gotten my friend too but I'm not sure cause i blacked out.

I think i might have had another but I forgot it... The 2nd one really scares me though!!

I used to have a particular nightmare all the time and now I was wondering if you could force yourself to have a certain dream again. I just want to have my nightmare again so I can try to notice different aspects I never saw because I would wake up screaming.

What could this mean?

Do u agree?I am a freshman mentor ar my school.I supposed to help the first years high school students, get to know the school better and talk to them about the classes and stuff during that hour. I usually do all my reponsibilities execpt for the talking part. I always have appointments with my teachers that I never get time to talk to them. Even if i did have time, I usually didn't. i guess its because a lot of them seemed really wierd to me and i guess i thought i was too mature for a lot of them since i was an upperclassmen.
But Last day I talked to them during the hour. I never knew that they repected me soo much. they told me I am smart and stuff and made me laugh. I was actually feeling kinda down, but the conversations made me feel so much better.

I guess i always failed to see how they viewed me. I always thought being older than made me soo much better.
I guess now I realize that, sometimes we just forget to see people 4 who they really r, because of our ego.

Who make the better creative writers, men or women? And I suggest drawing a distinction between (a) technical reports (b) poetry (c) fiction prose (d) factual prose. And have you had any success in any of these field? Do you have an ambition to become a bestselling author?

My husband takes more candle light baths than I do. I think my whole life I've had 3. He takes them probably once a month. I just feel like its a wasted of time. I have so much to do, I don't have time to take a candle light bath. So I get mad when he takes one. I know that anger is a secondary emotion. My primary emotion is Jealousy I guess. If anyone takes one, shouldn't it be me???? I feel like he is ALWAYS taking a candle light bath. Urgh....! Is he gay? Surely not. Can someone tell me something.... anything? Please. Just give me your thoughts on my thoughts. I just can't keep it in. Should I tell him how I feel about it? Or should I brush it away? HELP!!

I have alot of anger but I don't do anything about it. My whole family has anger issues. My dad beat my brother and mom. My mom use to call me all these cus words and she threw a salt-shakker at my head and chipped my tooth (i got it fixed) but i was only 7 and shes pushed me a few times and my step-dad hit me....but only 2 times, she also kicked me out of her house (my mom and dad got divorce) and I had to move in with my dad and brother and I didn't even do anything, she put her hand up to slap me and I told her I'd call the police if she did so she kicked me out. My brother is a football player and thinks hes so cool and is mean to everyone (including me) and has the worst anger problems ever I can't even explain how angery he gets. I'm know as the 'sweet' one but I can feel myself getting so mad I'll start shaking and crush something in my hand. I don't act on my anger i keep it in but its affecting me and I was wonder does anyone know how to relax when you get mad...oh and I'm 13
