Hi MsKye, I understand how it feels to be afraid of the future. I am almost 40 and recently life has forced me to give up my career and start completely over! It's been very scary and I too have major fears about failure. The other day my husband came home from work and shared with me something he h...

Hi Martha, you're friend/boyfriend kind of sounds like a jerk. I'm sure there is a lot more to to him than just this story, but just be careful in how you let someone, who supposedly loves you, treat you! I know, I was married to a very abusive man years ago and it's easy to make excuses for them so...

Although I have many things in my life right now I could complain about, today I wanted to share a great break through I had a couple days ago. I've gotten some great advice from people here and it's important to me I don't just take from this group, but also give back. So here goes... My husband to...

Hi ontheverge, I'm glad I was helpful. It surprises me as well, that there's still such a prejudice about such things, but there is. I guess that's part of everyone being different and everyone has a right to their own opinion. Just don't let that shape you. I learned a long time ago, what might be ...

Thanks Paisleegreen for the update. And MrCleveland, your right it might upset your parents to let them know how you feel, but it would also upset them to know how they're making you feel, they probably don't want that! Sometimes when we break those communication barriers with the ones we love allow...

You're here because you DON'T want to end it all, but believe me I know how it feels...I was in your shoes not even a week ago! Again, I am so sorry about your dog...but why do you have to cater to your dads every whim? Why do you have to answer the phone? You are an adult right? You're Dad needs to...

Hi CG822, I'm sorry you feel so lonely, especially during this time of year! I remember years ago, right after a divorce, I felt very much the same. I refused to allow myself to be alone, so I went to the local homeless shelter and thought I'd volunteer to serve food. They had so many helpers alread...

Sweetpassion3, I agree with you about getting ahead. After reading your other post I realized I don't quite have the program all figured out yet. I didn't realize until a couple days ago, that you were suppose to do 1 cd a week. I have an appt. with a coach tomorrow, I'm sure will help me along even...

Sweetpassion3, I think it's ok for you to sometimes allow yourself a day of no motivation. It's normal to have good and bad days. You said you were still listening to the cd's which I think is a good thing. Are you writing down your negative thoughts and counteracting them with positive ones? Don't ...

thanks so much for the encouragement and not thinking I was a complete nut! Well, you might have been thinking that, so thanks for not saying so! ha! Paislee- thanks for sharing your haircut story. I'm feeling much better about it and have gotten many compliments on it, including my husband. I don't...
