  1. Interesting to know. I'm going to look that up as I do need to stregthen my core body.
  2. Success is attaining whatever goals you have set for yourself and finding new ones to work towards. It's having solid fulfilling relationship or marriage (generally you get along and are working towards similar goals in life and supporting each others goals). Happy, well-adjusted children. Active in the community through church, volunteering, or whatever brings you some personal satisfaction. Close friends, and good relationships with family members. Good question. I'm a point in life where figuring out what would make me feel most successful is key. I love home ownership it's always been a goal of mine (which is why it's so hard to let go of). College is another goal and if it's the last thing on earth I do I will complete my degree. Being married and having 3 children was something I once wanted (2 boys and a girl). Becoming a mom was important to me, but I guess I thought I'd have more support in that respect and didn't realize how challenging it really was. Most of my goals I have attained yet that feeling of success is elusive. So perhaps success is more than achievement or maybe I was working towards goals that were drilled into me rather than what I truly wanted in life.
  3. I agree with stratguy here. You need to get the police involved in this, she is in serious danger. This guy will kill her if something isn't done. I've been in an abusive relationship and this guy is way worse than what I experienced (and he threatened to kill me). She needs help NOW.
  4. I wish I had a wonderful answer for you but I relate a lot to what you are saying. Perhaps you just haven't found the right counselor for you. I know it takes a while for them to figure out the person, and it could just be you haven't worked with him/her long enough. Usually around session 10 is when they start to give workable feedback (I've since learned). I read a lot of self-help books, I really try to use positive affirmations and the like to help me through very trying situations. There are good times in life just as there are bad times. Attitude has a lot to do with coping though the challenges to reach the better times. One thing that helps me is setting attainable goals. Perhaps you should focus on activities you could involve yourself in, and that would bring some joy to your life. Bad things happen. What I've learned is that we won't forget but we can make sure they don't control us or our life. Release the pain, forgive the person (it's for your benefit not theirs), and focus on what you can do to make things better. You'll be hurt more than once in life, some degrees worse than others, but hanging onto the hurt only attracts more. What you focus on you create.
  5. Yes it's too much house for me. But I'm really having a hard time letting it go. I love the view of the pond. Letting go of all the projects I had in mind is difficult. I find it strange that I'm so attached to this house, but I am. It's harder for me to let go of the house than it is him.
  6. I don't know you're story. But it sounds like you are both benefitting from this break-up. It also sounds like you both really love each other, and I don't know what your reasons for breaking up were or why you say you can't ever be together again. But if you both want to work something out in the future I don't see why you couldn't make it happen.
  7. It's not being a teenager. It's just the way some people are wired. You'll meet the right guy when it's the right time. For now focus on education because without it life is a lot harder and boys will be around in one way or another for a very long time.
  8. You can speak with your doctor and ask for some medication. It has side affects but really I didn't know how anxious I felt until I took Zoloft. But then I basically went into a feel nothing and was really too calm so I quit taking it. I'm still feeling pretty calm, but am moodier so that's probably withdrawls.
  9. Well here is what my mom says about the afterlife. She had an out of body experience and asked questions during it one had to do with suicides. God is very distant towards those who commit suicide she said. We've agreed to come here for specific reasons and when we end it prematurely it creates problems for numerous souls. She was led to a room that was devoid of God's loving light (she wanted out immediately it was awful). Those souls are left to feel all the pain their death has inflicted on others and remain there until they reach the time when they were supposed to die (either via accident or natural causes). Suicide is really not the answer. It doesn't mean I haven't contimplated it myself, but it sounds to me like your soul or higher self is very against you ending things (that is why your dad woke). You really should seek counseling and/or medication to help you through this period.
  10. Well I prefer guys with some hair. I don't care for the gorilla look but hairless guys are a turn off for me. I mean guys should have some hair (IMO).
  11. If he's married let it go. It may or may not work out but holding out hope is only wasting your life. Move on.

    Woo

    Totally agree with natural remedies. I'm may look into that but right now I'm enjoying my happy self.
  13. Aside from I don't feel that way for you anymore, there really isn't much else to say. Try the break-up board for ideas.
  14. I'm me again! I quit anti-depressants because they were making me angry and well nuetral. Tonight I didn't take my pill and I'm already feeling better. Music wasn't even reaching me like it used to. Now I'm moving to the music! Oh man I just can't go that route again no matter what people think or say. I'm just meant to be a little wacky! Gosh it sucked being desensitized. WOO!!! I'm me again! Just had to share!
  15. It's because you're very young and what you had was infatuation. It feels like love but it fades very quickly. The way to know infatuation vs. love is with infatuation out of sight is out of mind. With love they're always on your mind.
  16. Maybe you are trying to hard to find love. Just live life. I know it sucks, believe me I HATE being alone! But love will come when it comes. That girl that sparks an interest will arrive when you least expect it. I know people say it a lot and that's not the answer you're looking for but they say it because it's true. Here's my other little tidbit. Make a list of what you're ideal mate would have, and then soon that person will appear. Be careful what you wish for you do get it.
  17. Ah man. Sex talk, just when I'm not getting any!? Well I do prefer the musk scent on a man. I'm getting riled just thinking about it.
  18. That's a bit more retail therapy than usual, but yeah I like to go that route once in a while myself.
  19. DN really handled it but here's another perspective. You are 20 years old not 15. Yes she made bad choices, but she has two children and really would need a separate living space from the family. And maybe they are doing too much for her but they're thinking about the grandchildren, and also thinking if given a chance she can turn things around. You could choose to live on campus if it really bothers you. I know it sucks being uprooted but at 20 you're often uprooted because that's just the age. She was smart once, she can smarten up again. Some people just hit a rough path (you aren't done living yet, you'll have your periods). Try to be a bit more understanding because you just don't know where you're life will lead.
  20. They're worried because he's divorced twice and only 24 years old. Something isn't right if these woman are leaving him. It's a red flag, especially for a mother of twins to divorce. Something isn't right here.
  21. Thanks for the responses. It was starting to bug me but your takes helped.
  22. I've been told everything having a dark cloud over my head to being cursed. The most recent remark was that I have the worst luck of anyone they know. Now I don't feel this way but now that it's being brought up I'm really starting to wonder if maybe there is something to these remarks. I was in a car accident Wednesday and my car is likely totalled. The cops are surprised I survived. I wasn't wearing a seat belt. So to me that's lucky. The fact I was in the car accident wasn't, but still you have to see the good in the bad. Maybe I'm just so used to the bad that I've adapted, or forced myself to find good. I mean I could dwell on the car loss thing (kind of am) or I could push through. Okay so maybe my luck may not be as grand as anothers but I still see luck in the unlikely situations. Lord knows it could always be worse. Sure I have whiplash and a few scrapes and bruises. But my daughter wasn't with me, the car didn't flip (shocking the cops) and I walked away. Now whose lucky?
  23. She may be trying to look busy so peak your interest. Why not get her number from her and ask her out! I'm in a small town too and the game thing sucks! I hear this guy likes me but he sure doesn't act like it.
