Is that really true though...or just something you've convinced yourself of? There are some people who are like that, but not everyone who wants to be your friend wants something other than your company and your love. Maybe you just haven't had that experience so you don't know it? But you...

Your boyfriend is a criminal...'nuff said. Seems like he lives his life in accordance with the principles of deception and denial. My brother is also a crim and he has no friends who aren't either gun dealers, drug dealers (like him) and backyard criminal thieves who sell off stolen goods. His...

Feeling better now, after I had this horrible bitch really ho into me on facebook just before. I fought to not let it get to me, as I've already been feeling really upset and burnt out and just making mistakes and not reading things carefully enough, and just having my head bitten off by someone...

Feeling calm and relaxed but there is a strange feeling in my stomach area that I am having trouble defining, and is uncomfortable. I feel content to some degree.

I feel weary and unsure about the future. I am safe here now. I feel uncertainty and my head is spinning from the day. Feeling so glad to not be in that situation anymore and home safe. I feel lucky. I feel relief. I feel rage. I feel twisted. I feel damaged, and numbed, I feel weird and a bit...

Is this when you take too much of it though? I never experienced any of these symptoms. Maybe slight nausea when drinking it with water, as it tastes terrible. If you take the recommended amount once or twice a day there should not be any side effects, unless of course you are on some psych...

You can buy L-tryptophan through the Happy Herb High company in Melbourne, though I think they are a chain and have stores all over. They cost around $25 for a container of the powder.

I've taken L-tryptophan. It's great for lifting your happy feelings up after a big night out. I took it for a while and felt like it did help and I have not been on meds for a few years now. I think some of us were discussing this on a thread a while ago. There is also 5 htp which is a similar...

I think that is totally valid violetclouds. Have you tried meditating on what your real name is? Maybe get quiet and ask inside for your real name to come to you. See if anything comes up...:) If you don't receive a name or hear anything, maybe start thinking about sounds you like or names you...

Yes, I'm not surprised about the suicide hotline fiasco...how terrible though! They are mostly volunteers who receive only the minimal amount of training, as not many people are willing to do the job. I'm sorry you had that experience, and I relate a lot to what you've said about being rejected...

I've started meeting new people who are empathic and who feel like they can trust me to speak about things openly but without both of us going too into our stuff, but still acknowledging each other. Today I reached out and asked a woman who asked me out for tea earlier if she ever needed an...

I had a lot of people dump their issues and problems onto me for the last half of my life, and that taught me to be considerate of others when it comes to me needing to discuss stuff going on for me. As well as that no one has ever really shown much interest in wanting to know so I prefer to...

I remember starting a thread years ago about a therapeutic exercise that involves re creating new memories out of old ones and giving them a happy ending, to create the positive emotion that would replace the negative one that comes from the real event. Everyone scoffed at me...but it actually...

Feeling very humbled to witness such a display of bravery, as well as the beautiful support and growth I see from others here who are in your corner and there with you. What a bunch of beautiful people. And no, you are not fake Laurie. You are being very real in this thread and that is appreciated.

Yeah, the criticism is something you will face if you are open about it, I won't lie. But I have to say there were also more people who were supportive and I even told about my family and they supported me even though they didnt fully get it or have the same opinions about it. One woman who was...

If you felt peace and hope at the thought of changing your name then I think it's a good idea to go ahead and do this. I did change my given name a couple of years back, as well as my surname. I did not get the feelings you spoke of thinking about it, but I did appreciate the sense that I was...

Thankyou Laurie...it was a huge relief that we got away all safe. We were all convinced something bad was about to happen.

I consider this a success and an accomplishment, as I did not react. I did not show fear and I did not allow the anger that came up in me to overwhelm and act aggressively when it was clear I and my friends were being very aggressively approached by two guys who were looking to start something...

I was gonna say that too Ms Spock. Sometimes chat can get hectic, and move very fast. Various characters may join in and it can get a bit messy so when things are moving fast, it's easy to miss someone new walking in half way through a conversation, when everyone is trying to keep up with the...

I love your presence in chat Ms Spock. :)

Thankyou Darren, I appreciate your advice here. I haven't let it push me back, though I did quit the job. :)

It's wholly possible something went wrong with the technology, as others have already stated. It's possible she was called away to a crisis situation or lost her phone? If she encouraged you to call her when you needed her then it's unlikely she is just ignoring you. It seems like you've...

I've tried 'radical honesty' in the past, writing out exactly what I wanted to say to the person, and not holding back in any way and it felt GREAT! I highly recommend anyone trying this method...as long as you don't show it to them. Do whatever you want with it later, but getting it out is...

I so agree with you there amethist. I had a 'friend' offline send me a text at 7 in the morning, waking me up, saying she didn't want to be here anymore, then couldn't be reached by phone and de-activated her facebook. I spent the whole day really upset and concerned after she wouldn't answer...

Great cathartic strategy. This is something I used to do and would love to remember to do more often when I am mistreated.
