When I was younger, I grew up in a war called &quot;home&quot; and I suppressed my emotions, I always had a smile on, was always making others laugh, pretending pain was not reality. It was reality alright, I broke at the tender age of 14, but I never wanted to die. I had harmed myself in order to understand the feelings others would get from cutting, but I could never seem to find the pleasure through it, it hurt! I did this a few times until I said &quot;enough is enough there must be another way!&quot;-- And truthfully the only way was simply getting my life together, it all starts from within. I learned to deal with pain on my own, no help. I&#039;ve been through a lot and have made plenty of mistakes, but I believe and KNOW my past does NOT define the strong woman I am today. <br /><br />I&#039;ve always wanted to serve my country, I&#039;ve been a protector since a child, the fuel to the fire actually started at home protecting my mother and sister from my father, then I proceeded behind the doors of my homes, such as protecting ones from bullies. I want to enlist with the Air Force in a year, do a bit more college before hand, and I want to major in psychology. I&#039;d love to help anyone in general, from my personal experiences I have helped many, and I will not stop being there for others, guiding them, showing them there is a way. I feel there&#039;s too many people that go into professions that give service onto others simply for the money, instead of doing it because it comes from the heart, because they genuinely care, and want to help. <br /><br />I&#039;ve seen positive and negative thoughts over my past and how it can disqualify me, I will still try my best and give it my all, but what is your thoughts on this? And even if I do get disqualified, I&#039;m gonna continue my studies towards becoming a psychologist. I can still become one, right? It would be a shame to know all years I&#039;d put into something I love I&#039;d be denied from because of my past mistakes. <br /><br />Thank you!';

I was just going through my email and happen to see it i know it wasnt me because that was the night he was using my phone while i stayed at my mom&#039;s house amd some of the things he was messaging to these girls was really upsetting I confronted him about it at first he insisted he didnt remember ever doing it Then he said he might have had a moment of weakness. Then he kept insisting on how We changed in a good way because while he did that he said he realized he loves me amd I&#039;m the only girl in his life and that he only wants me. And. What really bother me is that this happened not even a week after he proposed and altogether We been together almost three years and We have a baby on the way in less than two months. Before all this I would find porn on his phone Where he would watch it or download videos or pictures and it really makes me feel like crap. I mean I know I&#039;m nothing really to look at I put on thirty pounds while being pregnant and sometimes it&#039;s like he don&#039;t want to touch me like he is completely discusted by me and it&#039;s always like he wants some super skinny girl that he can wrap his arMs around and have sex with all night I mean We don&#039;t even have sex like We used to it seems like he is watching the TVs more than he is even looking at me I can&#039;t really lose weight right now being pregnant and all. I don&#039;t have the pretty face or the perky boobs that he wants I just wish I could magically change how I look completely. I Love him so much I would spend all the money in the world to be the completely sexy girl he wants. D&#039;:';

She has depression and anxiety, but I&#039;m not the kind of person who&#039;s patient and understanding enough to deal with someone who gets angry at constructive criticisms and isn&#039;t willing to help herself. She asked me if I only befriended her out of pity, and I said &quot;yeah a little&quot; because I&#039;m a very straightforward person and I&#039;m not a very &quot;empathetic&quot; person per say, and yes that&#039;s a horrible thing to say, but I wanted out of the friendship that made me so anxious and unhappy all the time. Our friendship lasted for about 2 years, which was rather long considering that I only befriended her out of pity. It ended unhappily, with her telling me that I was selfish, but I know I couldn&#039;t put up a fake front anymore and I feel more liberated than sorry. Can someone tell me if what I did was right? Ending the friendship? I wanted to be a more understanding friend as well and attempted to make it last, but she really made me lose my head, any advice on that?';

		data[4]['blog_message'] = 'I&#039;ve been having pure o OCD for a long time. I was never properly diagnosed, but I&#039;ve been having obsessions ever since 3rd grade. Lately I started to obsessing over my sexuality, even though I&#039;ve already had a crush on a boy in my school. I got over my HOCD, and after a day of pure relief, when I was scrolling through YouTube, I found a video about a trans. Immediately a thought popped in my head, &quot;What if I am transgender?&quot; I started to obsess over that. I am tomboy-I had a lot of the character traits and humor of boys, my voice sounded slightly deeper than other girls, I was different than other girly girls, I hate pink, my childhood toys were cars, and I even looked kind of like a boy. However, I always loved being a girl. I felt quite comfortable in my body-and I&#039;ve never disliked being called &#039;her&#039; and &#039;she&#039;. I&#039;ve had a lot of fantasies and daydreams, all of which I was a girl. I imagined myself growing old as a girl. I&#039;ve always believed/identified I was female, and that was what I told myself when I first started to obsess. As time worn on, I became less sure. Every time I look in the mirror, I felt ugly and boyish. I don&#039;t want to be transgender. I keep on having unwanted thoughts m=of y=myself as a boy-I don&#039;t want to think about what it ould be like to be male because I&#039;m scared I might like it. I dont know if I&#039;m actually trans in denial or just TOCD. Please help!<br /> <img src="https://www.psychforums.com/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" />';
