It does feel good to vent and to finally let it all out. Sorry that you have gone through so much. But fair play for having the drive, and you clearly have the get up and go and have the courage and tenacity and the strength to keep going and to strive to achieve. And you are so incredibly nice not to want to take advantage of your grandmother who would do anything for you. But don’t be afraid to ask her for help now and again. She clearly loves you and would do anything to help. You’d almost be doing her a favour by letting her help. You wouldn’t be taking advantage of her at all if you occassionally ask for help. How are things on the job front going currently?
Im currently employed at the moment at a new england based retail chain “christmas tree shops” doing shipping and receiving and running the warehouse area. Its decent work. I enjoy the people that i work with. We tend to be kinda loud and get off task every now and then but it keeps me straight minded and in a good mood.
there are some differences of course, but I feel like I could have written this myself. I hope this helps a lot. Feel free to throw anything else this way.
yea man some people are thrown some pretty bad hands when it comes to life and the way that u want it to turn out and be.
Hey, this is pretty off-topic, but why don’t you try stand up comedy? It seems like you might enjoy it, and who knows, you can be good at it! Just google local comedy clubs and write a five minute rutine!
wow, you had it pretty rough.. and yea i feel better when i vent everything too..lol. anyway, its not like you can hide it all and make it go away, but try to make everything that has happened to you, or the people around you, a reason to make your life better. you seem like you have the potential and, as you said, the drive to make a better life for youself..

thats actually nota half-bad idea either..haha..i’d do it if i had comedy talent, sadly, im not too funny, just a lil. ;)
Sure, that is always the case. But for every story like yours, you can come up with an even worse story which makes you feel humble. I know that is clichéd, but it is so true. It is almost a comfort….obviously you feel terribly sorry when you hear other stories worse than yours. But at times when you feel really bad, you can look at those stories and count yourself lucky for what you do have and what is going for you. They make you put things in perspective. I know someone who had two sons, one who died at age 4, and on the very day he died, the other was diagnosed with a completely unrelated life threatening illness, and he died shortly after. I can’t even imagine the pain that family went through. And another friend’s 3 year old daughter drowned in their own back garden. It makes me feel lucky to be alive!!!!
And I am not saying ‘don’t feel bad, people in this world are worse off than you’, just that when you feel down, you can use stories like that to put your life into perspective
Trying it couldn’t hurt right?
Anyway I have to go for a while, hope you like help.com. Give me a shout any time you want.

Yeah, but sometimes you’ve got to stand up and say, “I hurt too!”

that’s true. you can do that, but that still wont take away everything you’ve been through. it may make you feel better for a little bit, but you’ll just go back to everything else in your life. its hard, but if you ever need to talk, give me a shout, im open to any conversation.
Oh, I TOTALLY agree lulzapalooz and miss cari!!!!!!! Totally! I don’t want anybody to think I don’t agree with that! I just meant like, at times, that can help you to get perspective and help ease the pain and dispair and the likes. Only for a short while, and yeah, you start feeling crap again after. But it helps for a little while! :o)

and no problem, IM HERE! lol. im like that a lot, things just build and build, then soon enough i go off for the smallest thing. (i try not to do that) i just vent, and get advice. and it works.
I have anxiety a lot too. I know how you feel. I’m sorry.
Ive been prescribed lexapro for my anxiety but i dont like the way that it made me feel. It makes me hyper and sometimes annoying. And since i have a big sense of humor you cant shut me up if you tried. So i pretty much threw it down the toilet. Its pretty much what i do with every drug ive ever had. id rather be me. but….it did take away my anxiety…

well its really good that you’d rather be you than take the pill. i just hope you’re okay without it.
Well, the fact you identified how you felt and made a decision on what you took and what you didn’t want, is definitely a huge step. Is it possible part of the anxiety is environmental, like people making you feel ****** about yourself, when you’re doing all you can? Sometimes I do.
It’s great you have a job and you notice the problems (which seem to run in the family) and so you can avoid the pitfalls (in the future).
Sat Nam, (reverent greetings)
Kudos for you for expressing !
My mother died of breast cancer too about 12 years ago — there is meaning behind every disease - and a personality type to every disease — women who develop Breast Cancer are women who are angry and bitter - especially towards motherhood. I feel this is the root of your relationship issues.
Also we attract to us in our life what we vibrate out — this is called the law of attraction. eg. if you have thoughts and beliefs that say you are a bad, unloveable person - you will attract to you people that will confirm this belief. All change happends first inside — then the outer reality shifts.
Here is The Law of Attraction video called the Secret - I think it is free to watch
