I have so much stuff I need to get off my mind it's not funny anymore.

1. i've moved out of home 4 times only for them all to fail through somebody else's means (landlords, neighbours, employers)

2. any job i find i really suck at and only survive for limited amounts of time, i'm currently jobless and have been to more job interviews than anyone i know.

3. i seem to be the butt of everyones joke all the time.

4. people seem to dislike me, when ALL i've ever done is been nice to them and get derogatory comments back in return. they make me feel like an outcast.

5. my parents are separated, my dad just doesn't bother contacting us and my mum has very little faith in me.

6. everyone thinks i'm lazy and do flip all every day, but i try really hard most days to get a job

7. i have no girlfriend, i appear to get rejected by every girl i talk too...i wouldn't deem myself as being unattractive in anyway.

8. i'm actually horribly depressed from all 23 years of this now.

I distrust my former boss to give me a reference. But wouldn't the boss look bad if they did give me a bad reference. This could encompass just a flat, unenthusiastic description of me rather than blantant slander.

What is the protocol? Would bosses who agree to give references always stick to the high road because they would have more to lose (or be questioned for) if they gave a negative reference?

Why I don't think my work was poor, I distrust former bosses' motivations or intentions and don't have that many contacts to provide potential employers. Plus, some employers ask for references only from past supervisors.

i think references are meaningless. there has to be better ways for a company to learn more about you than speak with people you know or people who can lie about you

I've noticed there are people who are not psychologically fit yet still pass this and get the job. I'm beginning to doubt the reliability of these tests.

I have a bad habit - when I start to really concentrate on something, i get happy. and when I get happy, I will think - wt, let me get a drink, or let me do something else first.
This breaks the concentration. So my intense concentration can only last for a good one or two minutes.

As such, i can never get things properly done!

Can someone explain why this happens?
It is a reflex action.

It feels like the walls is closing in on i feel like running away to a place where it is only me and no one else
I feel like leaving my bf for no reason at all just to get out of things
Although he is caring and what to help but i cant talk to him, he will just get angry at me this is all due to a checimal deffect on his brain he is getting treatment for it.

I had an abortion about 2weeks ago and there is still allot of things in my past that i havent talked to any one about

I just feel like crying my heart out for no reason

But the reality is that i cant run away from everything, i cant cry

Why is that im feeling this way, what can i do?

If say your daddy gave you everything would you ever understand the true value of what you have?
If you never had to earn anything for yourself would you ever be satisfied?

...The catch is that you cannot spend any of it on yourself. Who is the first person you can think of to give it to? Family? Friends? A Complete Stranger In Need? ...Who would you give it to?

Man I really need to change my attitude towards everything,I be so stressed out about everything. When I try to learn its like my mind goes into a metal block. When I try to look at the world in a different way I get really stressed out and then try to go to sleep so I just don't got to deal with it. I have anxiety sometime when I am around people, but not when I am with my girlfriend she makes me happy for some reason. But sometime I question our relationship then get even more stressed out. I don't want to break up with her because she makes a lot of the bad feeling I get go away when I talk to her or I am around her. I would like to get off my *** and do something but I end up saying why, it ain't going to help. I would like to learn a lot more that i know but when I try I just get mad at myself because of how slow I am, I am REALLY dumb. I can't spell, write, read, do math, read, or even talk that well. I fu(k up my education BIG TIME. I am in the 10th grade now and will be going to the 11th next year. I don't think I have too good of a future because I don't think I could make it through collage like at all. I AM SO SLOW IN THE HEAD. I need a lot of HELP BIG TIME.

Mine seems to have reverted back to adolecense.

He grunts instead of talks, plays games all day (if he gets up), stays up all night, wastes money on crap while ignoring the bills), takes no responsability for anything (am sick of hearing "it wasn't me") I even have to nag him to get a bath.

Worst thing is he's starting to make me sound like my own mother "nag nag nag nag" I hate hearing myself nag but I can't help it. We're like "nag nag nag nag"....... "grunt"....... "nag nag nag nag" ...... "grunt"

At this rate he'll be back in nappies with dummy in mouth before long lol.

Is this a phase? Rebellion against adulthood perhaps? Midlife crisis? Or has he just become a lazy old fart way before his time?

I've struggled with this for a while. My grandmother died (we believe) from emphysema, and I've always wondered if that is considered suicide (albeit, a slow) in God's eyes? Or, what about a woman that dies from anorexia after years of warnings and knowing that she can, and probably will, die from her disorder? I know we're supposed to take care of our bodies (temples), so I wonder if doing things that we KNOW are harmful and potentially fatal can be considered suicide if we die as a direct result of our behavior?

I am a perfectionnist and it's always caused me problems.
At school, I could never finish my essays. I wanted it to be perfectly written. At work I am always late. Is it something curable?

I'm trying to cope with the fact that no matter how good I am at my job I will always be belittled not because of any personality flaw but because of the nature of the people I work with. A culture of backstabbing and condescending attitudes reigns supreme and what makes it even worse is the fact that my job is located in the middle of nowhere and I do not have the option of quitting.

What are some ways to cope?

I think I've hit rock bottom--I've come to the realization that only I can make myself happy--and if that's the case, that's a darn scary thought--I feel like I don't have anyone, my life has no purpose, I'm definitely not needed, and that makes day to day tasks let alone projects an insurmountable Everest--but if I did do my work--what would it matter anyway--just hopping from one boulder to the next--if it's really about the journey rather than the destiny, my life is an dismal failure at this point. Maybe something's wrong with me--but I tend to not buy into the whole prescrip. drug thing. I feel like everyone else is having such a great time and I can't enjoy myself. If there is a hell, I guess this is mine--and what a sad way to live. I feel so closed in like there's absolutely nowhere to go, no escape--I feel like this is my destiny and there's no way out. I've pushed out everyone that ever mattered to me and there's just no way to deal.

My ex bf will not speak to me anymore. We had a big blowout and he was guilty...because I found out some things he never told me. Big things. But time has passed and I called him in tears that we can even remain friends...if he would talk to me. But no respond. What should I do?? I told him I was sorry but he did hurt me very much. Yet, I feel he has written me off for good. And I think he has am influence in his life that maybe making him more against me, because she wants to be with him. Please can someone give me advise. I cant go to his house...he lives 2 and 1/2 hours away, and besides..I dont want to look crazy.

Well, of course we all know how annoying hiccups are. But I'm proud to say that I've not had more than 2 hiccups before they are gone in the past several years, I would say maybe close to 6 years? I guess it seems to be a simple mind over matter trick for me, but dont know if there is any real science to it. I am simply choosing not to have hiccups, since I am in 100% control of myself. I'm not changing breathing or eating sugar upside down or anything, just using mindpower. If there is anyone else out there that is able to do this, I would be greatly interested in talking with you! Is anyone else able to do this?

Does anyone know if a child's speech ability can demonstrate or hint to a certain intelligence level? My son started talking at 8 months old and now he's 1 and 1/2 years old and he can sing (in verse) all of the baby lullaby's my wife and I sang to him. He can also give directions to the way home from a close point. Just curious as to see if my child shows intellectual promise.

On the other hand, white people,especially germanic peoples like the Germans and the English have a lot of equally intelligent,high I.Q. people,but generally don't so much suffer from autistc spectrum disorders as such. Take a look at Charels Darwin,or Dr. von Bohn of WW2 fame.They were geniuses,but still had normal enough,stable personas.Asperger's does not excatly equal intelligence per se, I'm a really good,but rather sad exsample

Why do people murder, take another persons life? Why do people physically attack other humans? etc etc Myself could never hurt a fly, never mind a human. I cannot begin to think how different other people's state of mind must be. Must really view the world differently. It's always seems to be us males that do this and not women..hmm
