That's actually very interesting, switching from chems to English! Im sorry that you had to stop, but yet I admire you, sound you were successful and happy.

About keeping my eyes on the prize, certainly will. Just another thing, I get the feeling that I'm offending some people for being here (and I have a good intuition). Im sure my situation may not seem horrible, but on the other hand, I am being quite vague about it. Im starting therapy in...

Talking about lab, I was studying Pharmacy last year and the labs were the best thing ever! Brave for going for chemistry though. I loved chemistry in highschool but once ai got to college things took quite a turn!

Thanks for the advise! I do agree with what most of you are saying - I think the best I can do for now is focusing on my future, and since I live on campus I spend most of my time away. This gave me time to work on some issues I had going on and gain some perpective, but somehow now its kind of...

It is, and i really wouldnt want to sabotage my future by messing with my grades, especially now that I switched to Dental Medicine! It still isnt quite what I wanted to do ( I wanted to go for a Medicine degree and study Psychiatry) but at this moment Im not sure if this will ever happen. Wow...

This. I grew up afraid of my father too, I still am. The signs are also so clear too. That look he had on him, that tone of voice. The shaking. To this day I still cant think of something that terrified me more. And the shouting, the screaming that never stopped and me feeling paralized, knowing...

It's hard to work full time when you're doing a college course! But I do work every summer to have my own money. Where did you work at?

@enough, actually, at 14 I wasn't legally allowed to work here! But I did start to work at 15 although it wasnt legal, to have some money of my own! It felt nice although I didnt quite know how to spend it well at the time. It seems you had a rough path but fought through it! I salute you. I...

Yeah Silver, that's exactly what I meant! Bad wording. Like I said, I never been diagnosed, because I never could afford theraphy, which is actually kind of a tabu around here at home. Depression and anxiety been my major issues but I started to think of ptsd couldnt be playing a role too? When...

I can't get a job because of my scholarship. (i already get the minium and if they find out im working they wont give me anything). But I will try to work during summer to save so money like I did last year. My dad is very attached to his money so I never ask him anything. My mom will always...

You are so right. I will try not to forget that.

My parents barely never tell me they love me. But I know my mom does because she shows it every way she can. Sometimes when I was little I asked her if she loved me and she always told me to not to ask silly questions. My dad..well that's a different story. Edit: I make sure I tell my younger...

Hello everyone. My name is Jenna (well not my real name, but you get it) and I wanted some advise. I'm 19 and for around 5 years now I've been dreaming to leave my home. My parents relationship has always been very rocky and my father has been verbally abusive to everyone in the family. I've...

Thank you so much! I'm studying dental medicine and I couldn't be happier about it. Still considering applying to med school though, but the fear of not being able to pay for it and wanting to move out the sooner I can kind of holds me back. My college does not offer counselling services, but I...

It's 1 am and I should be sleeping right now, having an important exam next week and all. But I simply can't because my mom confided me that my dad said he was tired of trying to change and we all just had to accept the way he is. That got me pretty concerned, since he started somehow getting...
