• (4 votes) I have just been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and I am extremely depressed.
  

  Puck You!
  Please ALWAYS remember this………. You are NOT, I repeat NOT the sum of your diagnoses!
  You are an individual and there are reasons you do what you do and say what you say and ARE what you ARE and IT DOESNT DEPEND ON YOUR DIAGNOSIS!!!!! You are a human being first!
  Do not let different diagnosis define who you are! Because they CAN’T!!!
  I have been diagnosed with bipolar over 23 years ago and there have been times that I KNOW I could have done better if I hadn’t let myself stigmatize myself!
  REMEMBER to ALWAYS look at yourself as an individual FIRST!
  
  When was the last time anyone was diagnosed as A GREAT PERSON?
  
  You are you and you are GREAT!!!
  The diagnosis is enough to make you think you are worse off than you really are. Michael Leibman has great advice……. get outside…… run jump scream hula hoop just get exercise and let nature do it’s thing and help you get whatever out that pushes you down.

  Check with local churches, it is worth a shot, also tap relatives and friends. It isn’t easy but it may be necessary. I wish you the best.

• (1 vote) Assisted Suicide.
  

  [quote courtybubble]Didnt read all the replies, cba.
  
  but i say Yay.
  i watched my dad fight a terminal cancer for 9 years, slowly getting weaker with every painful treatment. He always said he would end it before he got too sick to look after himself, unfortunately that time came on too quickly for him to make arrangements and he had to suffer through immense agonising pain, struggling for every breath, unable to feed himself, bathe himself toilet himself…exactly the way he didnt want to go.
  My mother had to sit and watch the man she loved wither away to nothing, and that is how she remembers her last moments with him, ragged breathing and tears slipping out of his eyes, rather than the strong defiant man we all knew him to be in health. he never once cried during his illness. so for him to cry at the end, i can only imagine the pain and desperation he felt, stripped of all dignity.
  assisted suicide, and murder, are two completely different and opposite things. they are on opposite ends of the scale, and could only be mistaken by someone who couldnt understand that somethings are worse than death.
  anyone who watched a loved one go the way my father did could never say that Euthanasia is wrong…we do it for a dog, why not for a loved human.[/quote]
  
  I can relate to some extent with my Father in law. very sad

• (1 vote) ..at the request of a friend.
  

  How many times a day has that woman been overlooked in general. I take this lesson to heart. I don’t see a one in a million person. I see an everday lady who like everyone else in this world has something to offer humanity, but is so easily overlooked.
  
  I know ppl at my “local hangout”, some of which are here, and they have shocked me with their kindness and compassion. They are ppl with faults and “issues” that could make me think that they are just ordinary everyday folks. But inside, beyond the imperfect exteriors, there lie treasures unlike any that could be manufactured or mined from this earth.
  
  I was moved to tears to watch Ms. Boyle perform and overcome “expectations” of her audience. Now I say a silent prayer in hopes that God will help me hear the majestic “pipes” in everyone that I know. Her humility and good humored response to ridicule was a sign to me that this is a woman who cares about people. She is a true hero.
  
  I want to be more like Ms. Boyle, and let my life shine through the darkness so that others may “hear” my “pipes”. God Bless Her! Shakey

• (1 vote) I have itchy feet!
  

  Oooooooooh! Hmmmmm………..How about this……….
  
  If you come to the mainland then you can visit many different places. Visit Mt Rushmore in South Dakota, go hiking in Utah, visit Hoover Dam outside of Vegas, Nevada, go to the Museum of Natural History in Chicago, etc etc.
  
  Personally, I like going places that you don’t always read about. De Smet, South Dakota, Independence, Ks, Amarillo, Tx, Oroville,Ca., Sioux Falls,Ia.
  
  It’s so nice to go where I have never been before. I would love to go to so many famous places in the world, but I also want to see what people are like in the areas that have nothing to do with those places. Examples……..I would love to go to England and visit Big Ben and Piccadilly Circus and ride a double decker. But even more important to me would be to visit a family in a small town in let’s say Huggate. To dine with and share stories about our respective worlds. To spend just a little time experiencing their life.
  
  Maybe visit Rome, and then go out in the country and eat Italian food that real Italians eat, sleep in an Italian house, drink a local wine. Don’t get me wrong, the well known places are awesome……….but I want to see “where they live”, where they work, what their friends are like, what their concerns are, how they entertain themselves…………………. Wherever you go, whatever you do, I hope you get to see the “other” real treasures. Errol

  One of your better bets may be to google various words that apply to what you believe and are searching for.

  The thing is: I don’t believe in anything + I’m not searching for anything.
  
  I think the only thing I want is for people to be happy — and I can’t seem to figure out how to HELP make that happen… because no one will tell me what they want — apart from m*ney… as in: “don’t give me that do-goody-good BS”.
  
  meh….

  Many people do not know what they want because they have lost part of themselves in the daily shuffle of life. Truly, I think that the more that an individual invests in his or her self, the easier it may be to relate peace and goodwill to others.
  
  It is nice to know that you are concerned with the happiness of others. If you have found that happiness within yourself, share your joy and peace with others.
  
  True happiness does not come from without, is not something you can really give or even take away. True joy and peace I really believe comes from within.
  
  No human can turn on someone else’s happy switch if you are determined to be down. And no one can turn off your happy switch if you are determined to be happy. No these are not “absolutes” but these ideas can be liberating when it comes to determining how you want to move forward in your life.
  
  Sometimes all it takes is a smile on your face to make someone’s day. I know that when I smile, I feel tons lighter, things just “seem” to work better and I just plain feel happier.
  
  The happier you are with yourself, the happier others will be around you. Test this to see if it is true. :)

  lol
  It is hit and miss here, that is for sure. But it may be worth a shot. Other ideas would be to go to the local library and get books on what you are interested in, putting an ad in the paper to find like minded folks, expose yourself to more local community events.
  
  One of your better bets may be to google various words that apply to what you believe and are searching for.
  
  You can also ask a question on Yahoo! answers. Here is the link: http://answers.yahoo.com/
  
  You can also search for similar questions asked on the same site. :)
  
  Cynicism is fine as long as you recognize it as such :)

  If you know exactly what you are looking for in others, then maybe even start here to look for groups who share your same or similar interests.

  You haven’t connected with like-minded people perhaps.
