• (1 vote) no help for my depression.
  

  [quote abnormalogic][quote e_d1]I think that until you have discussed these feelings with a professional, like a doctor or a psychiatrist, and until you are feeling better, you should trust the opinions of your majority support here, and seek help. don’t “get out of your comfort zone” just yet - you aren’t ready.[/quote]
  
  i wouldnt be so sure, what has “modern” psychiatry done other than tell people they have a “disease” and need to take lots of pills…… i am alive and happy now finally after getting away from years of “therapist” (pill pushers, clinically retarded, useless souls)[/quote]
  
  They give you advice. They listen to you. They are someone you can trust. They are there for you when you need them. They don’t always diagnose you with anything and they don’t always prescribe pills.

  [quote linuxya][quote MandaDarlin’]I know this isn’t exactly modern day[/quote]
  Did your grandmother go to university?[/quote]
  
  Yes. She did, actually.
  
  [quote linuxya]
  Was she expected to be able to have a career and look after herself her whole life if need be?[/quote]
  
  Maybe not, but she did have a career in order to make ends meet. She was a magazine journalist and an author.
  
  [quote linuxya]
  Was she facing a 50% divorce rate and a similar likelihood of becoming a single mom if she had kids?[/quote]
  
  Not quite, but she still faced a 15% divorce rate. Matriarchy (fatherlessness) also began rising in the 1940s.
  
  [quote linuxya]Did she live in an era where men and women must work in a couple to make ends meet because “family wages” are no longer the norm for men?[/quote]
  
  No. It was a double income family because they would not have been able to afford it otherwise.
  
  [quote linuxya]Did she live in an era where she had the opportunity to have any career she dreamed of if she worked for it?[/quote]
  
  Maybe not quite, but she did get the career of her dreams: journalism.
  
  [quote linuxya]So many things are different including the absence here of pressure to honour a “man going off to war”.[/quote]
  
  Not really… Humans are humans no matter what decade they live in. And she wasn’t with him because he went off to war. There’s actually a story of a time while he was away where she actually considered breaking off the romance. She didn’t, but the thought was there.

• Today i found out that i have to drop two of my classes.
  

  Your GPA would only be ruined if you are already failing the other two classes. Your GPA will remain the same with just two classes. And there is nothing wrong with being a part-time student. Besides, have you looked into Financial Aid?

  No… Punching you would be violent. Spanking a child would be violent. Shooting a gun at the president would be violent. Telling someone to be quiet is not.

  No, it’s not. ****, ****, and **** might be strong language. But I was simply sternly telling you to hush.

  Oh, shut up. Although, you’re absolutely right in my religion and where I live. I’m just here to help guide people in the right direction. Not encourage them to do something they’ll regret.
