Everybody has problems. I know that and I'm doubting anybody, but it sometimes seem, especially during these high school years, that everyone tries to be so dramatic and make things worse than I seem. For example, there's this little clique at my school. I've known half of them since we were little, but they've completely changed. In they're clique, it's important for you to be super dramatic about everything in life and act like you are miserable and depressed. They talk about cutting themselves a lot to take away the pain, but their friends go behind their backs and say, "Oooh. Did you see her fake little scars? They were so light." It's like they're in competiton to see who's life is the worse. I recently read an article in Seventeen magazine, and they were talking about how being depressed almost seems like a fad now. Do you agree with this? Not saying that people don't have problems, becuz many people do, but in general, do you think people r making depressed a trend?

Why do conmen target the elderly? Of course, the answer is that they're more gullible. But why is that? It seems like their experience would make them less gullible, rather than more.

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we
could all use a little more serenity in our lives.

By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too
can find inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is
to finish all the things you have started and have never finished."

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and
hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a
bottle of Crown Royal, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of
Dewers, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the
rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates.

You have no idea how freaking good I feel.......
Cheers!

I've been trying to get answers from everyone I know since i want to make a book about it. Nuns, parents, students, employees, senior citizens, college students, etc... Each individual answers differently... it's quite interesting...

What do you think is the purpose of life?

when we are coming to the end of a laugh do we mutter the words "oh dear" ? (usually accompanied by a big sigh)

who is STILL married a year later, by the way. I just want to go on with my life but he keeps bringing me to court ( and he keeps losing). He left ME. Shouldn't I be the angry one?

What is this about?

Maybe I should post this on the psychology board.

i have this roommate from romania. she was an orphan for i think 12 or 13 years and was adopted by a family here in america, who made a website dedicated to her and getting her to the states. she has a hearing problem that is mostly corrected by some sorta ear pieces she wears. anyways, she talks abnormally abundantly, is very nosy when i'm online and even talks when she knows i'm studying or am on the phone. does this have anything to do with her being stuck at Freud's oral stage??? does she just want all the attention that maybe she has gotten before for being an "orphan immigrant"? any theories are welcome. but how could i tell her politely to shut up and stay out of my business? lol....thanks in advance!!!

Is it a reflection of one's self worth and esteem?

I always seem to do it.

When I have an opportunity to be happy, I ruin everything and make myself miserable. I don't know why.
I don't do it deliberately. I mean obviously I know what I'm doing, but I don't do it with the objective to make myself unhappy.

Maybe it's a sub-conscious thing? Maybe I don't think I deserve happiness. Or love.

Oh god, I'm sorry. I always get deeply philosophical at these hours... I'm so terribly depressed and lonely right now.

Will someone please talk to me?

Why do the majority of people I know suffer from illiteracy? They come from good families, yet they choose to just fill their conversation with repeating what others say, saying "like", "you know" and other filler words instead of actually constructing a decent sentence? They also laugh at whatever they say. My ears literally bleed at school because these people just can't talk. Why are they like this?

Hi. I majored in Computer Science. It was a very tough major, I never could have managed to work and do school at the same time. Now that I graduated, I don't have any work experience. I have never worked anywhere.

Its been 4 months since I graduated and haven't the right job for me. The first month I went on vacation after 5 years of college and no vacations or fun. So really I have only been looking for 3 months.

Here is my situation. My older brothers pay most of the bills at home, but they are now pressuring me to find a job. They think that I haven't found a job because I'm lazy and don't want to work. Sometimes I don't know about that. Maybe they are right. It's just that I get really frustrated when searching for a job, still have a lot of questions to answer in my life, got to put a lot of things in order and do a lot of things. 3 months seemed like a glimpse to me. I've been searching online, but I just can't find the right job soo I have just applied for about 5 jobs...

I am 27, a fairly qualified professional but find that looking for a job now is very difficult. I tried applying for jobs, even lower in level than my previous employment, but I still end up waiting for call back that never came. I am enriching my competency by continuing my masters degree but I feel empty without a regular 9 to 5. (Reason I quit work before was for further studies and a long vacation but now I am ready to be back in the labor force)
I think that I have a great personality and have a lot of friends but am not going out with anyone right now. I haven't been for two years and I miss being in a relationship.
My family and friends are supportive and keeps me happy. Only, I feel that I am letting my family down because I haven't followed through with the fulfillment of the dream I started years back.
I wished at least either one of my career or love life improves, but no luck so far =((
I feel lonely, miserable and lost. Any advice?

A proximal causal factor that caused you to go insane. A proximal causal factor is usually called "the last straw" in which a person goes psycho because of a very tiny thing after going through alot of trouble in life. An example would be being triggered to throw the tantrum because someone ate your bagel.

how do you stop loving? how long does it take to stop loving? when they started abusing me i knew it was wrong but they came into my life as good people then started it. By then i was already attached. If a family member friend or loved one starts abusing you and you can tell they are enjoying it when they do it what is the purpose in that?

I am so sad, I just need to vent..
I've been on my 2nd date with a guy I've met in a club, 3 weeks ago. On anf off we've also been chatting online so I found out many things abt his life. He's from Germany..here for 1 year, with an intership.

He told me among other things that he didn't get along with his parents for a long time. That they lived in a smaller village, were very strict, would ask him to work when other kids were playing, wouldn't let him travel and anything he did wasn't good enough for them..so he was happy to move out to college and get away from them. He says he needed to get away from the village and see more. He says now that he's travelled all over the world etc..that he's getting the masters degree, he says he reconciled with them and they're proud of him. He just visited them a month ago for his sister's wedding.

I am just suprised..didn't picture him as a "wild" thing with such tensions with his parents. He seems on the calmer, patient side, what I see.

Budding roses come and gone,
a callous world still carries on
vainly trying to look beyond
a pain that knows no soothing.
Little flowers hid from sight,
many colors dark and light are seized and swept into the night. Roses kept from blooming.

As self indulgence rules our land,
some children just don't fit the plan
and so we pluck them from God's hand.
Is our destruction looming?
Precious buds of God's design,
grand a gift of love divine
where earth and heaven intertwine,
yet their rose is kept from blooming.

May we learn to hold as dear
what God Himself has planted here.
And may we make the choice in fear,
lest we keep God's rose from blooming.

The joys this earth will never know,
little smiles that never glow,
lives left longing to unfold.
It's a tragedy we're choosing.
The sweetest gift that God could give,
He made to grow, to love, to live.
So help us Lord to let them live
for they're roses meant for blooming.
