I am 15 and i am going to visit my uncle in Los Angeles.
The flight is about for 5 hours. I had a little panic attack 2-3 months ago because i was scared that something is going to happen to me. Anyway, since i am thinking right now that, if i go on an airplane, maybe i will feel scared and have some kind of panic attack. So, WHAT CAN I DO?? What positive things should i think??
Have something like this have happened to you before?
Like, u thought going on an airplane will be scary but when u got there, it wasn't bad.

Thank you soooo much for your help :)

about counselors and therapists? I mean do only "freaky" or "nerds" go to them, or do normal people? I have bulimia and have been seeing a counselor at my school since the begining of the school year, and people stare at me when I walk out of her room. Should I not go back?

I know that I need to figure out what made me like this. There was no break up with a boyfriend, no one close to me died, didn't see anyone die, and I wasn't raped. No reason to be depressed.
There's someone who reminds me so much of myself. The way I was and the way I am now. But his dad killed himself. He was really good at school just like I was and now he doesn't show up.
What else could cause depression? My early life growing up sucked but it never effected my school work. I've always had low self esteem. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do with my life now. And I don't really have a desire to do anything with my lfe either. Could bad stuff that happened a long time ago come back to haunt me? I don't understand it. People have told me the only way to get past "this" is to figure out what caused it. How do I do that?
I'm in therapy now. Nothing has really changed and I don't feel better. I write stuff down but that's about it.

I bought some American Eagle 1 ounce gold coins knowing they were not a good investment.

I just wanted to have some real gold and now I can't stay away from them. I just want to touch them and feel it's heaviness and beauty.

Is this a human thing or am I just strange?

"Solid confidence comes from the knowledge that success is 'in here'. By believing that the source of power lies outside oneself, one becomes powerless and vulnerable.... True success originates within, independant of external circumstances." -David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph D.-

I'm doing research on motivation and would like to know how many people agree with the concept behind this quote.

I work in a Hotel as a Hostess and a Cashier. I try as hard as I can to be ambitious and efficient to my daily responsibilities. I have requested for a promotion to another department on my 6th month which is in July...one of the main reasons was for a better salary, cause of my good and various past experience. But the negative reason about my decesion is because of the poor and unwelcome bahavior some co-workers have with me. Of course I reported them to Human resourses...but the only solution I got was to realise the HR Manager to remain Neutral and make us forgive each other...or express her perseption as a miss-communication between us...
Today while even helping these two restaurant servers I stoped for a momment to fix my ponny tail and retie my hair back...one turns and she tells the other one in spanish not knowing that I understand the language..."ella es fea"..."she is so ugly"...at that momment I froze! and of course there was a commotion as the story goes on. So...?

Have you ever thought about a question then realized that there are no answers that you can understand?

For example, the whole idea of how the universe came into existance. Some people say that it was the big bang others say it was God, but all the theories fail to mention one thing... where did those starting points come from? If you say that the big bang came from a bulk of matter that suddenly exploded, where did that original blob of matter come from? If you say God created everything, then where did he come from? At some point you have to either say that something came into existance out of nothing or that things have always existed...that they never had a beginning. Maybe there are just some things that we aren't capable of understanding? What is your theory on how it all got started?

I am 40, have not found someone decent to share life with yet but don't want to wait any longer to have a child but I'm worried that if I do get a sperm donor it will create anger or an emptiness in my child. How do I deal with that? Thanks for any advice given!

Sick and tired of working harder for what seems to be continually deminishing returns? Are we really in fools paradise? Ever think we can change but no idea how?

I am not looking for God, nor a religion. I want some real answers from real people, who think sometimes similar thoughts. People who are beginning to look at the parallel between themselves and their world, and feel there has to be a better way.

24 years old, alright job, well paid, nice house, great friend - not a bad life... but i feel utterly UTTERLY fed up with it all, the same cycle, the same routine... i feel as though i have no purpose in life, i dont know what it is that i want to even do... do i want a professional career, or do the things i LOVE (rock climbing, hang gliding).... i cant decide which is more important. I'd love a holiday, but the same old routine ensures i have no money to have one... its as though life is just eating away at my will to partake... i'm not suicidal, but i need help. I'm bottling all my emotions up, cry myself to sleep, yet am too "proud" to seek help. Proud of what i ask.... i dont even know the answer to that.

"For the son of man came to seek, and to save what was lost".

Has anyone else felt like this, directionless? How'd you cope? What did you do to get your motivation back? Until a month ago i was very proactive and knew my direction... now, im totally lost.

When I talk to guys, I talk face to face. However, when I am standing up and they are sitting down my eyes glance downward to their crotch. I am not a sex maniac. I don't do it on purpose, my gaze just goes down there, but at least I don't stare. Is there a reason for this?
