I turn to music. Does anyone else do this? I sing it out, dance it out. Right now I want to smash a few of my guitars...but then I would have to replace them. Anyways, music for me is an outlet. It seems to block out the barrage of emotions running through my brain...for a little while anyways. On a flip note, it's also sometimes a way to release pent up emotions, energy or whatever ...

does anyone feel like they're an empathetic person but come off as insensitive and nonchalant to people? i really try to be empathetic, it frustrates me.

Hi everyone,

I'm very worried about my daughter at the moment. There seems to be this pattern with friendships she makes... they are always the 'best friends she has ever had' and they think the world of her, but then, quite suddenly, without any warning, they seem to back away from her.

She has had a group of around 8 friends for a few months now (all quite a bit older than her), they were ...

I decided to make this thread to share things we've written, and to discuss what is shared. Let's try and keep it 2-4 stories/poems talked about at a time, just so no one is left with no responses and feels ignored and left out. :3

Instead all these ###$ online are telling me what to do & making me feel like I'm sort of idiot & evil person. Shut the ###$ up! I'm allowed to buy a ######6 ...

What was I doing?
Well another 'hoover' yesterday, this one a very definite one, I sorta knew it was coming because I hadn't heard from him since last Friday.
He sent me a text message saying, 'How about a weekend of hot sex". I was at work and it was probably a hour later that I checked my phone and noticed the text. A part of me was excited, a part of me felt a ...

Seriously. Information overload. I want to run. I've had some success. I'm keeping up on that. I can't keep up with the rest. All the medical terms and all conditions/symptoms/issues. I can relate with most of them and I don't like it. I know that if I manage/conquer one of them, there's another not far behind. In the words spoken from my daughters mouth, "Awwwww, this takes effort".
