TOO MANY TO LIST?
If I could spend only one night with one person I would choose Mahatma Gandhi. Such a seemingly simple person who taught millions of people how to be free and peaceful.

I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
viuuiuvy, I find your outlook much, much too negative. The people of our world will not treat you any differently than we treat everyone else. When I lived in a "health unit" -- assuming a health unit is a psychiatric unit -- I believed the world was out to get me and if I gave them the ch...

Re: I'm sick of this help soon
Concerning the exclamation of suicide, no one ever believed me either, save for a shrink I am currently seeing. My first suicide attempt was when I was 15. Tried again at 22. Tried again at 29. I was never hospitalized for mental illness and when I would try to talk about suicide it was always expla...

Re: Somebody who has battled with depression please help.
You're experiencing first hand what every important loving and loved contributor to my life experienced. When depression takes over me I can't admit to loving people because to do so would make me too vulnerable when I need all my energy to hold on to sanity. Those I love the most I curse the loudes...

Re: Just me
Hi Wiltedlily. I don't know what you're going through. I do know many illnesses really suck! My "problems" run a gambit and effect my mind mostly. When anyone asks me how I am I very rudely tell them they can't begin to comprehend what its like to "feel" like me so back off and d...

Re: Always losing interest
Boy can I relate! On some days I can't be bothered to bathe or even sleep - I have gone up to three days without proper sleep. My solution? Haven't found one. Even my shrink -- who is great -- can't find even a partial solution. He has suggested there are drugs which may help but no assurances and I...

KNU, 10+ years ago I stopped abusing booze and other drugs. It wasn't easy but it wasn't all that hard once I realized being straight was something I had to do for me. Saying I was working to be straight for my wife, daughter, etc. was counter productive for me because I drank and shot-up for me in ...

REALITY IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH OF US
I firmly believe we build our personal realities on our interpretations of our passed experiences. For example, I hate to touch or be touched by humans. As a developing child I was denied the love and attention needed. Therefore, part of my "touching" issue is the fault of my upbringing. T...

IMPROVE YOUR SKILL SET
Hawke, I worked in and around your field for much of my career (long time retired now). My success required excellent communications skills and technical certification in various computer languages and applications (Microsoft, being the major one). Maybe the state of local gov't can assist you with ...

SPEAK UP
Social discomfit is quite common. I did a lot of public speaking when I was working and always remembered Helen Hayes (GREAT American stage actress) saying she was so nervous before each play she had to throw-up.

TWO FEET ON THE GROUND
I too fear flying but I also fear riding in any vehicle. For me, the fear is based on giving up control. If I could drive the vehicle then all is good. Of course there is fear of flying and "Fear of Flying" (by Erica Jong). I have developed a very strong fear of human contact, another long...
