2009-11-28 10:24:16 on Contemplating suicide ?
Hello, what are some of the resources in your area? Could you talk to the people at the local missionary outposts/headquarters? Is there any sort of woman’s rights activists or institutions you could talk to?
Is there a way you can seek amnesty from the government if you had proof of his abuse?
Where do you live? Maybe we can figure out the next course of action if we knew even the location of where you are?
I know suicide seems like an option, but hun, you are the only hope for your children. You have to remain strong for them, because they are all you have.
here’s my email srnityblu(@)yahoo.com Omit the parenthesis around the @ sign… I am willing to look for some information for you.
2009-11-28 10:18:49 on im feeling lost ,confused and hopeless.
Hello, well if we can help, we’re here to listen.
2009-11-28 10:13:08 on Why do You like helping?
Hello, thanks for the invite.
Well, This is a qood question. I do not get any benefit personally in the sense that I have nothing to gain, no void to fufill, no mission to accomplish. I am on here to help; to help others make choices, decisions, to help them see issues that they perhaps have been blinded to all in an attempt to better their lives and make their worlds alittle bit more livable. It is an awesome benefit to know that you had the ability by sharing what works for you and what hasn’t- to put a smile on someone’s face, a lift in their step, help build confidence, and help them see through to better days ahead.
We are all in this together. Helping for me, is just the right thing to do. It’s who I am, what I do, I guess for me, I’ve strived too many years abandoned and alone, and because of what I had no choice but to endure- I know that people need people, because I needed my family, friends, and there was no one around… Kinda sad, but it for me is an unconsiously driven force to help those who need it, and show them that there is always someone willing to help, listen and hold a hand for comfort. No one should have to be alone, and no one has to be.
2009-11-25 18:50:53 on college drama.
Well, I haven’t had experience in college because I never went, but I have to say this happens to most of us at some point in our lives, and I feel for you. You are really strong to endure this.
I would suggest that if you can endure this, to just continue to do what you are doing. You really wouldn’t want to become friends with someone like that would you? She’s not just talking about you though, keep that in mind. She feels uncomfortable and perhaps is feeling vulnerable- I mean if you don’t do anything directly to her, how can you have that much power to effect her life in college? It doesn’t make sense. This girl is trying to raise her self esteem by taking yours away behind your back.
Rise above it, and show a confident strong young woman ( THat you already are) around her. Your presence alone will spin circles around her, and when she sees that her comments and her presence do not bother you, she’ll stop coming around so much. She is trying to gain control over something that is indirectly in her life because this is the only thing that she thinks she can “control” because everything else she can’t.
It’s a twisted mind game, and you do not have to play along. She’s probably one of these girls who cannot take responsibility for her own actions, and needs someone to blame why she’s sinking and failing in school and in life. Ignore her if you can.
Smile and wave… smile and wave…
Someone once said to me once… “Kill em with kindness” and maybe that might be the way to go. When you enter the room, address everyone by name… and smile… don’t go out of your way, but maybe make an effort to show the others you are a nice person and easy to get along with.
2009-11-25 18:36:47 on I want a hug.
Hugs, Speaking as a mom myself, it is easy to over look the feelings of a child, or a teen and your mom may be dealing with issues of her own, and does a really good job at hiding her feelings or covering them up, but please do not take her comments to heart. She is speaking from a place of misunderstanding and her own hurt and grieving heart.
My grandfather died when I was 16, it crushed me, and my foster mom said “He’s dead, it’s time to move on and get over it.” WOW sympathetic… NOT.
All I can say is allow yourself to grieve in the way that is comfortable to you, if you have questions, ask them, sometimes we may not know someone but thier passing still effects us in ways that seem to blind side us. Death is a foriegn invader because we are used to living… so allow yourself to cry, and grieve, but DO NOT FORGET how to LIVE during this process. Take care of you. Allow yourself to be in the moment, but allow yourself to enjoy your life that you are in presently.
Your uncle would want that for you.
HUGS!
2009-11-18 07:35:52 on Hi My name is Barb my husband and I are way behind on house payments bills .
I wish there was something that I could say or do to help you, I know how scary it is to be in the situation as you are in.
There are resources you can tap into, and maybe phoning your local health authority to see if there is anything that can be done with any sort of financial assistance.
Maybe call your local crisis center- you are in a crisis situation and they will be able to help you by providing phone numbers that they have on staff, that the public sometimes does not realize is available to them.
Talk to your creditors- please, maybe you can deferr a payment or two? Maybe if you can talk to them you can make a better arrangement with them until things start picking up and getting better.
We tend to think creditors as scary institutions when we fail- and while that can be true, they are willing to work with the public, because it’s their money on the line too. They’d rather get paid something rather than nothing…

Hello, I am sorry you are feeling so sad, do you feel like talking about it?
2009-10-30 20:07:50 on I don’t celebrate halloween because of religous reasons.
Well, okay, so now Christmas used to be ILLEGAL, and no these holidays, Halloween, Easter, Christmas, ****. Paddy’s day are absolutely NOT in the bible, the one exception is Easter, but it is in the King James version of the bible, and it was put in there on purpose, not by mistake- although it is an error because Easter is not in the original Hebrew. I assure you Courtneybubble, I have all my t’s crossed, I’s dotted and I am not listening, nor have I ever listened to a person behind the pulpit when it comes to matters of scripture. I am truly led by the Holy Spirit, as My God does not absolutely does not recognize man’s ways as HIS ways.
Halloween was - all sait’s eve, and if someone does the research they will find that it was a certain religion that Christianized this day to allow the pagans to keep thier festival as well as Christmas.
How can a holiday be good, when “all Saints day ” was used to pray to the dead saints on the living relatives behalf? No this is clearly against God, but I don’t want to take away from this post… but just wanted to clear the air- I am secure in knowing that NOT partaking in these things, is a personal choice and it is one that has been researched and it is well with my soul.
“As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.”
G’day. Stay safe.
2009-10-30 19:48:47 on If you practice witchcraft but worship God, will you go to hell?
Are you looking for a loop hole to allow you to practice witchcraft?
You are allowed to practice witchcraft, divination, necromancy, sure we all are. Just as Paul says ” Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial”
What does witchcraft do exactly? It allows you to “cast spells” call upon demons, familiar spirits… eventhough one does not think they are doing just that, the power does not come from “within” and the bible shows God’s power against the so called power of Pharoh’s gods, by sending diliberate plagues to the Egyptians, mocking each god that was a representation of each plague.
Also, one cannot love God and enjoy, partake in witchcraft, buddhism, etc, because in order for one to love God, one has to know God. I do not doubt that you may know a small degree of God, but to know Him is to love Him. If one truly loved Him, they would not stray so far away from him.
Now please do not get offended, I am not willing to say this if I was not willing to say this about myself. I too once followed after demons, unknowingly, but willingly. I found out the hard way and almost lost my life several times while chasing after something else, because I misunderstood God and didn’t take the time to properly know him. I was enticed by the same one who enticed Eve, who still entices this world today.
He still speaks the same message ” You won’t die, you won’t offend God, go ahead, do what you want, see God doesn’t care because he has not smitted you in the very least”
One cannot worship God, sing praises to Him, thank Him and then thank the devils who are among sculking about. One cannot serve two masters and Jesus says that ” They worship me with thier lips but their hearts are far from me.”
I am not saying anything new that the bible doesn’t already say… but I suppose those who want to continue to do what they desire want a way to do both.
God will not be mocked, and every knee will bow, and He judges all our hearts and eventually if one keeps turning away and living in denial, he will harden the hearts like he did Pharoh, Saul, and Esau among others.
2009-10-29 22:51:24 on Abortion.
Well, if you are trying to understand what is going on with your friend right now, after the abortion, I can say that she is probably feeling confused,and relieved, and empty,feeling she is worthless, and scared,and sometimes she may even feel angry.
She is going to be going through the stages of grief-eventhough she may not understand what is going on with her feelings, she’s going to be up and down for a while. Something happens to a person when they have a life inside of them, and nothing can prepare a person for that, and those feelings do not go away over night, or when the pregnancy is terminated.
Some people slip inside themselves and begin to self medicate the pain away. Trying to find redemption and forgiveness in something that they thought and they knew in their heart was a good idea, but the maternal instincts speak other wise.
Be there for your friend, and encourage her to talk to someone. Maybe when she is ready, she could write a letter to her child, and then sending it on a pond, a creek, or lighting it on fire…
She’s gonna need a friend who isn’t going to judge. Try to be that for her.
Thanks.
Hugs.
2009-10-29 22:44:58 on does anyone know if there is a phone helpline for if you feel suicidal in the u.k ?
Hello, if your friend for any reason cannot, or does not want to talk to the crisis line… I’m a crisis line worker. My email is available for you, or your friend to use. srnityblu(@)yahoo.com
2009-10-29 22:31:10 on I don’t celebrate halloween because of religous reasons.
Hiyas, I haven’t celebrated, or recognized halloween or any holiday for that matter in 10 years! So I stand in agreement with you! Worldy holidays are not favored by God.
2009-10-28 20:33:27 on my dad said he would be better without us.
Your dad is hurting and it sounds like he has a problem. He may be struggling with thoughts of suicide, and I am not saying this to alarm you, but being jealous of you is highly unlikely.
It sounds like he may be struggling with some deep issues, and maybe you should tell your mom, or someone you trust about this. You know your family better than any of us, because you are living it, and you should go with your better judgment.
Warm blessings.
Shannon
2009-10-28 20:25:52 on My friend just told me that she got raped.
Hello, I personally would try to convince your friend to go with you as you talk to her mom together. THis should not be taken lightly and although she’s scared, she needs reassurance and needs to know that she can trust.
It is her decision, and if she thinks she’s pregnant, she needs to know sooner rather than later, and to go seek medical attention for other reasons.
Even if she doesn’t want to press charges, having the support of her mother would be soooo so helpful to her, as well as your support. Thanks for being such a caring devoted friend. Hugs!
