    Christmas

    Oh my.... Yes, I totally understand this. I'm not good with this sort of thing either. It's not that I wouldn't want to see my friends or family, but I have to, sort of, prepare myself. Also, I understand the shock aspect, I get sort of quiet, introverted. At the grocery store the other day...

    Anger For No Reason

And then he...

    Only took 50 years to deal with my abuse.

    Yes, yes... I'm sorry you're having to go through this, that you are having to fight through this. It is very hard. You are working very hard and obstacles can be overwhelming, but you're doing so well. :)

    Only took 50 years to deal with my abuse.

    I still think you are brave. :) Have your adult, determined self take your young self to therapy tonight. Tell your younger self he is a knight and to take courage, he's battling, but not alone. You will be with him and so will "T". He has a lot of people lifting him up. He will never be...

    Dramatics

    Did you ever think maybe he got a concussion? And maybe he's telling you it's no big deal because he doesn't want to worry you? A head injury is nothing to play around with. He needs to see a doctor.

    Exercise and depression

    I don't go to the gym. I either swim in the warmer months or walk 3+ miles a day. Sometimes I'll do both. I can't run anymore because of an accident that ripped up the back of my left thigh. I still try though :) but after about 50 feet, I'm limping all day, so I shouldn't do it. But I...

    Introduce your stuffed animals

    My babies are bunny and pinky. They have been with me forever. I got bunny from my sister when I was 6. Bunny was hers, but when she got married she knew how much I needed her and she said I could take care of her. She eventually said I could have her. Her fur has been loved off. She is...

    Relationship Unsure? Lost cause, or cause to wait. . . ?

    I'm sorry for what both of you are going through. It sounds like she has so much she is dealing with. I can only tell you how I have felt at desperate times in my life. First, she needs to be able to trust you. That is huge, AND even though she can, she might not feel like she can and what I...

    Anger For No Reason

    Hi @Dubiousraves I get it. I know. When I'm like that I can feel the anger in every inch of my body. I'm furious at absolutely nothing and everything at the same time. Can you scream and yell into a pillow and kick the bed? It helps me. The more I can get it out, the faster I can get out...
