• (4 votes) Okay, here goes..this is a rant, do not ignore this!
  

  I agree with you on almost everything. I am not ashamed to be human and I am not sorry I was born into this world though. I am also angry about the fact that people, especially children, are treated like this and it is so often ignored, but because I am in this world and because I am human, I have a chance to change things. I have a chance to make a difference. I went through much of my life experiencing horrible abuse so I am very passionate about the fact that it should not be allowed to happen and it should not be ignored. The more people who are angry about it, the more people who are passionate, the more people who demand change, the more change we will see. I am determined that when I leave this world (when I am 100 years old) it will be better then when I entered it.

• (2 votes) I hate freaking migranes.
  

  I’ve had migraines for years. Got all sorts of tests done, tried all sorts of meds, nothing helped. Want to know what finally helped? Ok….building suspense….
  
  getting away from the computer a little bit more. It was getting away from the computer a little bit and things like shoulder rolls and massages. My migraines were mostly being caused from muscle tension. You might as well try stretching, maybe massages and don’t spend too much time at the computer without standing up and moving around a bit.

  This is a type of help line. The people here come to help and give advice that they believe to be true. If you just want people to agree with everything you say and not tell you what they think, then don’t ask for advice. None of us are robots that just respond the way you want us too. If you don’t want to listen to the advice people give that is fine, but I do not think it is appropriate for you to lecture or judge people because of the well intentioned advice they give you. The fact of the matter is that you can’t have kids and your boyfriend wants you too. Nothing you can do about that. No way people can fix that for you. People were telling you there views and advice based on the reality of the situation.

• (1 vote) Animals are being abused every single day.
  

  I definitely care about animals. I definitely think they need to be treated well. I also think people should put some of the passion they have for animal rights into promoting rights for abused children. Animals being treated horribly tends to get more of a reaction and more publicity now days then the fact that children are being abused, tortured, and killed.

  Let God lead you on your path. Make the changes that He shows you are necessary for you to make. If something causes you pain or to turn from Truth, then leave it behind.
  
  A couple of very wise friends of mine taught me that no matter what mask I am wearing and no matter how great of an actress I am, I can not force people to think of me the way I want them to. Be who you want to be, allow yourself to see the beautiful truth of who you are, and let those around you decide if they can see that beauty as well. If some of them can’t, then you don’t need those people. You only need the people who love you for the wonderful person you are.

• I have been depressed all of my 52 years.
  

  I am younger then you, but it amazes me how similar our stories sound. I am 26 years old and have struggled with depression all of my life. Many of the same things you talked about. Not fitting in, low self esteem, paranoia, etc. I’ve tried taking my life many times when I just couldn’t take it any more. It hurt my family and friends so much that I tried to kill myself, I can’t imagine what it would have done to them if I had actually succeeded in killing myself. Did you know that when one person kills themselves, the likelihood that someone close to them (close family or friends) will kill themselves more then doubles. Your daughters might not be able to handle losing you and it would change their lives forever. Are you on medication? Do you see an therapist? What are you doing to help yourself feel better?

• I know this is really stupid, but right now I feel lonely.
  

  I am more then happy to reply. I definitely know what it is like to feel lonely and just want someone to talk to.
  
  So, did you move to Germany for your job?
  
  I visited a couple of countries where I barely knew the language. It was very difficult even though I was only in each place two weeks. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live somewhere and not know the language.
  
  My mom was in the hospital a lot, and she sometimes thought it would upset me to talk to her or to visit her while she was sick, but it was important to me and I called her and visited her anyway. You might want to think about whether it is more upsetting for you to not be talking to her. If that is the case, let her know.

• I’m upset.
  

  Even if he’s having second thoughts, why would you want to be back with him. He’s ignored you and doesn’t seem to care too much about your feelings just based on what you wrote. It sounds like he’s moved on and you should too. I agree with sunxfyre, just avoid him and let yourself get over him.

  It doesn’t sound completely ridiculous for you to feel lonely at all. It sounds very normal considering the situation you are in. Have you made many friends since you have moved to Germany?

• preganant and have no where to go any ideas where or what shelters are available and where?
  

  Look up places like the Alpha Center or other pregnancy care centers. They don’t provide you with lodging, but they can give you information on where you can go and help you get the things you need.
