PROCRASTINATION...........................................................................................................I have not resolved this problem yet.................................But I think I know why...............................................I really don't want to deal with it in the first place. So I am just ignoring it for now.

My youngest son is 19. He has a terrible cough, a fever, and is now having difficulty breathing. I told him that we need to go to the emergency room (as it is Saturday, and the doctor's office is closed).
He told me, "I'm an adult, and I'll make my own decisions; it's no longer your business."
He is right--he's over 18, pays his own way, works, etc. But he is still my son, and I am very worried that he could have pneumonia, or at least asthma (which he had as a little boy--but "outgrew" it).
I had no choice to back off--it's not as though I can carry him to get help. I am still right next door to him, and will not go out, in case I need to call an ambulance for him. I'm coping with his "adult" decision--but that decision is not very adult-like.

To be honest, my last problem was about my self-confidence. I'm not over-weight, and I'm not considered ugly or nerdy...but sometimes it feels like if I were to disappear..no one would even notice- or even worse- care. It feels as if everyone around me is moving forward at a thousand miles an hour, and I'm just....stuck. It feels like I'm being...suffocated by everyone around me and I'm forever sinking into this pit of darkness. How do I cope with it? Family. Friends. But most of all, realizing that my life DOES have a purpous in this world. I'm more than just a body. I know that I've got Family and Friends who love me, and a God who died for me. Outside of that stuff....I like to listen to music, play guitar, write songs, and take long hot showers, to relieve myself of all these melancholy feelings. Hope that was what you wanted.... :)

I like someone that i think doesnt like me the way i like him...i was planning to stop cold turkey and just stop communicating but i cant do it, so the coping mechanism i used was to divert my attention to working, i still think of him a lot but i get the day pass by faster....
