I don't see the good in this situation...

My daughter is 15 and living in another state with her grandmother. She is not doing well in school and has no one to support her.

My ex-husband started a new job in another state and is stressed out because of the child, etc. He keeps leaving me messages about how she is in pain and not doing well.

I am living in another state and am lonely and having a hard time finding a permanent job. I am working at a contract position. I feel worried and sad most of the time.

If everything happens for a reason and for the good, I can not see any good in this situation.

Please help me find good reasons to motivate myself for work tomorrow! (I've been off for weeks due to a family illness and am due back tomorrow morning.) I don't know what's wrong with me but I am finding it really hard to get on with it and resume my routine.

I'd be grateful for any advice?

aggressive back, and gettin arrested and in trouble yourself?

or for any matter how do you deal with people that try to intimidate and manipulate you in any type of way?

in the past this has happened alot to me, and ive not known how to react without losing control of my rage and getting aggressive and then puttin myself in trouble and in danger of gettin arrested....ive been lucky so far.
but i worry that what if it was to happen again, whilst out in society, and the concern of not knowin how to respond without getting aggressive and in trouble and put myself in danger of gettin arrested.

plus how do you deal with people in life that, condescend you, talk down to you, patronise you?? without getting angry and aggressive?
i hope someone can help as these are my main problem areas in life. cheers

making money. I have heard the viewpoints of some retired psychiatrists and they say that it is all bs. Their is nothing internally wrong with you, but your environment, beliefs, attitudes all affect how you are. Events of your life, intense pressure, and suppressed emotions lead to these symptoms. I have had symptoms of many of them, but I've also had some pretty bad life experiences. I don't believe in that genetic vulnerability blabble. It's like the way they use religion as means to control people. It's like a cult. For example, if I am a good enough actor, I can convince you that I am something I am not. It's all in the way something is said, and people wanting to look for a quick-fix. Emotions are powerful and real and sometimes pressure leads us to hide them. Convince me that things such as mental illnesses exist.

A slightly morbid question admittedly. But they say that buying a house, changing jobs, or getting divorced are the most stressful events you get in your life. Yet surely they can't be quite as stressful as finding yourself falling down a 500 foot cliff, hanging by the end of a hangman's noose, or up against the wall of a chinese firing squad.
My question is to those who have survived such a near-death experience, how much worse was it than the more "common" stressful events of life?

Get those imaginations flowing! Kudos if you can think of a way NOT ever seen before (especially in a movie).

I feel very sad when I think of certain events in my life. I wonder if there is a reason for everything happening in life.

I hate to see others go through pain of any type especially emotional. I also hate to feel sad and don't know how to justify it.

Maybe it makes us stronger.......and able to weather storms later on in life.

I told my ex girlfriend in an email that she was cheeky whore and and stupid ***** and she should leave me alone and never talk to me again.

I was Moving the next day after I sent that email and Before she read the email I went to her house and apologised and gave her a Teddy bear.

We talked and I gave her the bear and told her where I was moving to and we told each other bye. Before I left she told me she was afraid to read the emails. I told her to just delete them and that was it.

When I arrived at my new house I went on the internet, it was early in the morning and she was online. She told me thanks for the bear again and that she read what i sent her and that it was amusing and when someone insults her she just laughs about it. I told her I didnt mean any of it, and told her i was jet lag and was gonna crash. I appeared offline and she signed off two minutes after me.

My Question is: Why did she think that my insults were amusing and why she did she laugh about it?

I have asked other questions like this but I know that this one is way down the line of thought of having wholesome relationships and I just thought I would ask since I was a little serious but was just mostly curious as to what some people would say.

I never really thought about being in love with any of the ladies that I know but I wonder what would I have to be thinking or seeing that would indicate that I would be in love with one of the girls that I know.

I'm writing a story for my english class and she asked me to describe what i smell, only... i can't think of what a jungle smells like. It's a story about a girl in a coma but when she is in the coma [unrealistic but its just a story] she experiences a number of different dreams and one of the dreams i enter has a jungle scene and so i would appreciate it if u gave me some ideas of what a jungle smells like to you.

i'm really upset with my life. i'm smart, athletic, funny in my own kind of way but i suck with people. i grew up in an environment and am not accustomed to kindness. i have a hard time dealing with others. i have very minimal friends. i want to be more social, yet don't want to compromise myself. someone told me i should be in college or something but thats not a reality at the moment. what are some of the ways i can accellerate my social development? i'm really serious about this...and have thought about suicide because i feel like i'm invisible to people. i always give the wrong impression with myself and it is really annoying me. i have minimal friends (but) alot online. i'm really bad with real interactions (face to face) with people. please someone help me out! you seriously have no idea how annoying being socially inept is.

Do you ever feel jealous or resentful for people who have just told you good news when you should really feel happy for them?
Does it make me a bad person?

I 've asked questions like this before, but no one has given me advice that I can use.
I'm not ok living my life. I'm tired of it. I want to believe I can fix it all. But I doubt it now. I don't know what exactly happened, but I lost everything I thought I was. This year was important for school. I messed it up completely. I wanted to be a doctor since the 2nd grade. I don't care any more. But school use to be part of who I was. My Mom is so disappointed.
I knew it wasn't normal for me to be as unhappy as I was. I told my Mom. She says it's all in my head.
I went to therapy once. I didn't like it.
I was falling and I asked for help. No one wanted to help me because no one really cared.
If I wanted to die, I would be dead already. I've seriously consdered it. But I can't. I don't know what to do.
Keep in mind that there is no one for me to tell. No guidance coucelor, no other family members, no real friends. Everyone thinks this is a joke.
