Listen to this, it's crazy. My husband and I have been together a total of 6 years (dating and all). When we were together for 4 years I had just had a baby boy 6 months before hand. I was also 4 months pregnant with his other child. We had been together sice he was 14 and I was 15. He lost his virginity to me and I had already lost mine before I was with him. He told me before we got married he wanted to know what it would be like to sleep with someone else. I was heart broken and I can't even begin to explain how much pain I went through. He was my high school lover, we had one kid and another on the way. We lived together in our own appartment. We had the life and he tore my down, just cuz he was thinking of himself. I moved back in with my parents and he saw his son once a day for a couple of hours. So this means I had to go back around him and see him everyday. I had to see all the freedom he got to have with no kid and lots of driniking and other things I wont say out loud. Not to mention the new girls he was trying to sleep with. Also, the dumb b*iches played with my kid and "fell" for him and my husband. Turns out, he got with one of my high school friends and had sex with her & fell in love with her. I found out he had sex with her and I had the worse misscariage known to man. I had to go to the hospital. Three days before hand I felt the baby kick for the first time. I was dead inside and nothing could help me at this point. I lost 25 pounds in 3 weeks and passed out more than once. Time went on. And then while in love with her (but not telling me he was in love yet) he ended up cheating on her with me. More than once. Several different times. One night I stayed with him and we drove around all night and we drove to where he grew up. He showed me everything and that was one thing he had never done before. We went on a gravle road and sat at this one spot in out town. We talked about everything and went to his house at 4 in the morning and slept together for the first (as in sleeping,holding each other) time in a few months. Anyway, the last time he cheated on her was the turning point in not only my life but my husbands as well. On this night we got his aunt to buy us a case of budlight. I had a 2002 Sunfire. We went gravle roading all night and got really really waisted! I guess I let him drive and he decided it was nessasarry to drive by his new girly friends house to see if she was at home being good. I got furious. How could he have been so concerned about her while he was with me. I mean he told me he didn't love her (but he did), and he said he still and always will love me. I believed him. So we ended up arguing to the point of crazyness. He had the car floored and was heading home. We were on highway now on a straight away. We live in a smalll town so there was fields on each side of the highway with cows in them. He was probably going around 90-100 and we hit a tiny little hill going at too fast of a speed(obviously), so he lost control, flipped the car four times and flew into a field on the left side of the road. He flew out my sunroof and I flew out my front windshield. We layed there, unable to move, for an hour and a half. Believe it or not my lights were on, on my car still and they were shining towards the highway. It was 12:30 at night(morning) and one truck finally drove by. I sh*it you not no more than 30 seconds after that truck passed the lights on the car died. Anyway, the truck saw the lights and stopped. He walked down to us. I was unconsious and I don't remember anything except for the begging of the fight. I dislocated my left hip, fractored 4 ribs on my left side, and also had a skull fractor and 3 small brain hemereges. The brain injury is why I don't remember the night. I recovered and am fine as can be now. My husband got paralyzed from the chest down. He can still move his arms though, he just can't move/feel anything past his nipples. We ended up not talking to each other for about 2 months. The only time I seen him was when he was home from rehab on weekends and I brought our son over to see him. He was still with this girl. She didn't care that he cheated on her. After those 2 months went by, he got to come home from rehab. Turns out his new girl ended up cheating on him while he was in rehab. He broke up with her. Boo Who! I started visiting him cuz he was lonley and I had to be around when he saw his son (I had to help him). We started growing close again even though we never did fall out of love with each other. We got back together and our life has actualy been really good to us since then. We are married, we bought a house, and we have lots of friends that keep us busy. Plus our son is getting big and learning new stuff everyday. He is smart and cute. My leason in life was to not be such a jealous person(that was part of us spliting in the first place), and DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!!! It is bad sh*t and you may think you can do it(just like we did------and also did it just fine nights before). One little mess up and it's over. There is no going back and your life can be changed more than your dreams could ever produce. He was only 17 at the time. Please do not drink and drive. Some of our friends still do and we just tell them that they always have that possibility. I am a normal, more than normal, girl. I live in Missouri. A small town, only 4,000. I mean this could happen to ANYBODY. Don't be a nieve person and think that you are one of the lucky ones that it will never happen to, cuz it may, you never know. It happend to us and we learned our leason. Sorry so long, you said you wanted a story.

There are a lot of ways that you can start by turning your life around. The first thing is to start by accepting the things that you cannot change. The second to is to be confident no matter what. What do you think is making you feel like this? Are you making decisions in life that you regret doing like drugs, alcohol, etc.? Well, never live in regret. Take one day at a time and be grateful for who you are and what you have! Maybe the best thing might be seeking some psychological help if you can't really point out any "serious" reasons to be feeling like this. That may be your best option. I hope everything works out for you... I am sure it will.

I just watched that movie the other day. I love it. I would have to say that I was about 20 years old. I had just split up with my high school boyfriend of 5 years and I was devastated. We were best friends for a really long time and planned on spending our lives together. He chose a really bad path in life and he wanted out of our relationship. I couldn't handle his drinking and bad lifestyle of violence. I couldn't handle anything at that point when I realized it was over. I went into a real deep depression and didn't want to live anymore. My sister and her husband took me in for like a year and did everything to help me through. It was the worse time of my life and I often didn't think I would make it. My heart was broken and I kept telling myself if I could make it through it then I would spend my life helping others like I had been helped by all my friends and family. I am now going to school to become an elementary teacher to help underprivileged children and I want to volunteer at a children's hospital. I now have a 2-year old daughter whom I almost miscarried which was another blessing in my life that I promised God if she made it I would make it up to Him... I have been through so much these past couple of years and it hasn't been easy. Once you make it through something so horrible you want to get out there to help others and make a difference.
