Turned Away Everyone I loved turned away Couldn't bring myself to stay My heart torn in tiny shreds As I started on this path I now tread Alone, with nothing but my own thoughts This is the result a moment of truth brought Everyone else turned away Like it was some sardonic play Used to be surrounde...

While this is a fairly new one of my poems, just want to be clear I'm not in crisis. Sometimes writing is my way of getting thoughts and feelings out is all. Losing My Shine Well, I once said that Stars Fall Too And I guess that's still true Because I'm losing my shine So much for this light of mine...

Hi you deserve to live. I dont know what you did, or think you did to this person. The truth is they made a choice. And unfortunately it wasn't to seek help. As bad as we miss them, as bad as we think we did, it was still their choice. You wouldn't have wished this on them. And even if you said some...

Hi Welcome to the forum. I've seen you around the room. I'm sorry that you deal with all that. I know what its like to live with chronic pain and the ptsd but I have bipolar. Anyways, just wanted to welcome you to the forum too.

Not sure why but thanks to those that report it so that we can remove them and keep it a safe place for all. The latest should be deleted.

Hi, it only shows that you've made one post with this name, and that this is it, under your profile. Not sure where you are seeing the other information.

Meh, on the board you want there should be a button that says new topic in the place above all the discussions. Usually towards the left. Hope this helps

Hi. I know you said you aren't a snitch, and that them doing drugs if they'd leave your friends alone, and keep it out of school wouldn't bother you. However even if they approached someone who is not your friend, that person is someone's friend. As you pointed out there could be so many complicatio...

Jones, I'm sorry you feel that way. There are a lot of good therapists out there that don't get paid nearly enough and still treat patients. Some might be in it for the money, or for some it might be a bonus. However there are others that have a real desire to help people because of their own experi...

Hi Pelion welcome to the forum.

Thanks for sharing your Haiku with us and introducing yourself.

If you wish to share more Haiku's or poetry the artwork section is a good place for it.

Look forward to reading more of your posts.

Hi Lasi welcome to the forum. Finding the right counselor can be hard and sometimes it can take more than one session to see if you think the counselor would be a good fit. I usually ask mine a series of what I call hypothetical questions to gauge how they will react to different things that might b...

I don't cry that often though lately I've been waking up feeling that I need to. I'm someone that pushes the need to cry back. Don't even like crying when I'm alone as I get mad at myself. When I really do need to cry and I can't seem to let myself somethings I try are: Watching a sad show or movie,...

I'm currently reading Bay of Sights Book two in the Guardians Trilogy by Nora Roberts. Just unfortunately going to have to wait another 6 months before the final one comes out.

Hi Alexis, I know you say that right now you don't even want help or to get better but a part of you must want to get better because you reached out to us. I believe you can get better it just takes time and effort. Don't give up. Talk here, talk in the chat room. Just each day try to do something e...

Hi GlassHeart I know in your post you said you don't think you will ever find love but I honestly believe that people find love at all stages and walks in their life. Maybe not as soon as we want it to but it's never too late. My grandma lost my grandpa after many years together, she's in her 70's o...
