I know asking for quick methods gets no answers, so instead what are good reasons to live? The bad things in my life outweigh the good things and I don't want to fight through them to see how worse life will get<br /><br />I&#039;m sorry that you&#039;re having a rough time. The hope is that the bad things in your life outweigh the bad... ONLY IN THIS MOMENT IN TIME. If we&#039;re lucky, we can look forward to a long, good life. This present time may wind up being only a blip on the radar of your life. ...

Don&#039;t be so proud of yourself. Sun, 13 Sep 2009 18:27:07 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7725930 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7725917 Im 16, & lost my virginity when i was 13. This may seem like alot and really bad, but ive had sex with 13 people , does that make me a whore?<br /><br />Listen to me. It doesn&#039;t matter what people would call you. You have an opportunity at any time to stop what you&#039;re doing. People do foolish things when they are young. It sounds to me like you think that by being sexual with this number of boys that you&#039;ve been foolish too....

In the meantime, look for boys more your own age.

What I would do is speak with the brother or sister you are closest to, and ask that they be your advocate and explain to your mom that you&#039;re feeling left out, and what your desires are. Maybe that would help.

That there&#039;s never a day where you can or should say, &quot;okay, I&#039;ve arrived!!&quot; Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:19:56 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7709923 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/7708748 Do you think jumping from a tall building would be a fun way to do yourself in or a scary way?<br /><br />What a sad question to ask only a day before 9-11, where we remember almost 3,000 deaths, and HUNDREDS of deaths by those who had to jump from their building because there was no way to rescue. It must have been absolutely terrifying.

I'm not suicidal, although I'm sure it seems that way, but I am curious. I've already gotten available help (therapy and such). It's just a question that bothers me.<br /><br />Your curiosity worries me. Is there someone new you can talk to? The problem with drug quantities is that everyone is different. What can kill one person can &quot;just&quot; put another in a perpetual coma, or do other extreme damage and not kill them. I believe that your curiosity is...

I have experienced suicide by people close to me twice in my lifetime, once as a child and once as an adult. What I&#039;ve come away with is that those people were being very shortsighted,...

Now I'm trying desperately to call him because I feel like I never got a chance to speak. He just won't pick up his phone. Is it wise for me to keep trying, for my own mental state?<br /><br />I think that if you need closure, if you need to be heard out, then write him a letter and mail it. You won&#039;t know for sure whether or not he will actually read it (he probably will) but I think that writing it out could be very therapeutic for you.

My boyfriend often laughs at me when I cry and says it is comical and that I act like a child. Is this inappropriate, especially to someone he loves?<br /><br />I think you both need to learn how to communicate better. I don&#039;t think that you should make a blanket statement about being sensitive. Many people are sensitive without crying all the time. I think you need to try to learn how to put those tears into words so that you can be viewed as an...

It means that you are declaring, publicly, that your heart is one with the Lord and that it&#039;s your desire to be a new creation in Him. It was a thrilling day for me, getting up before the congregation, giving my testimony...

A lady or A Man?<br /><br />I think it depends upon the individual. I know many men who seem &quot;extra&quot; sensitive, and I know women who are very unemotional. I doubt there&#039;s any corner on sensitivity.

Ive been back and forth to the doctors and antibiotics help for a couple days then the pain gradually comes back.<br /><br />Sounds like a kidney infection. Do you have any fever? The breast pain sounds like a symptom unrelated to all of the others.

I see it every day at the office. So many cracked teeth! If you find yourself COMPULSIVELY chewing on ice cubes instead of just &quot;wanting to&quot;, you may have what I had, and that was an iron deficiency (anemia).

He said : I can't talk with you and I need somebody who i can talk with??? Is this normal?<br /><br />Nope this isn&#039;t normal. You are supposed to be the &quot;somebody&quot; he can talk to. I think it&#039;s just easier for him to think that they are able to hear him better, since they don&#039;t have the day to day stresses that you both have, as a married couple.

Your boyfriend sounds very overwhelmed. This doesn&#039;t mean that he doesn&#039;t love you. I think it may be best that you not fight for this relationship right now, and give him the time he needs to get his act together. He may actually be giving you quite a...

I did love him once, but we grew apart. no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fix it. Now, I'm seeing someone else - and he's calling me begging me to come back. I feel bad, is that normal?<br /><br />Oh yes, it&#039;s definitely normal. I think it would be rather heartless for you NOT to feel badly, you know? That said, as you already know, all because you feel badly doesn&#039;t mean that you should go back to him if it&#039;s a relationship that you feel has no future. Be strong and...

I recently got it again but have forgotten what to do about it. It is very painful and itches like crazy. Can anyone help me with this?<br /><br />Sounds as if you MIGHT have a reaction to latex. I believe that an allergist can test you for it.

What works is medicated powder, like Lotrimin. NOT the ointment. My understanding is that it is one of the symptoms of a thyroid issue, and I do have hypothyroidism. You might, too.

I barely have any wrinkles yet (thank you, genetics!) and I&#039;m told that I look a good ten years younger. I&#039;m sure it will catch up with me, but for now that&#039;s my answer, LOL.

Are there times when you are ready to tell those you help to go screw themselves?<br /><br />No, and I&#039;ll tell you why. I never allow myself to get forced into helping. I help when I can, and as I can. I don&#039;t let people guilt-trip me into doing more than I want or am capable of.

I hear you saying that you want to &quot;fight&quot; (and win) your depressive symptoms. I think that great and sometimes it&#039;s not enough.

I&#039;m almost 50 now (::whispering:: and sometimes, I still do!). I think we just want to be loved, and validated and appreciated.

As a basis for comparison, could a mother describe an experience that was as or more painful than giving birth?<br /><br />I stepped on a rake with a heavy wooden handle and smashed myself on the side of my face and under my chin. That hurt more than having a baby, for me. The lump on my chin was about the SIZE of my newborn, though, LOL!!

I love her more than I have ever loved anyone before. After a month she kicked me to the curb. Now I am alone, sad, and heartbroken. Any great advice for a dumb ass?<br /><br />I don&#039;t think you need advice, you made a bad choice and now you are reaping the consequences. Just be a great Dad, and in time maybe you will meet a new woman who you can find love with, again.

Jesus took the sheet from me, the baby disappeared, and Jesus was upset. What could this mean?<br /><br />Wow, that&#039;s some dream! Are you having any inclination toward religion? I always think of babies being representative of a &quot;giving birth&quot; to something new. I just would guess that you were giving birth to the idea of believing in Jesus yet you feel undeserving, so He takes the...

My question for you is, why does &quot;everyone&quot; hate you? That&#039;s a rather sweeping statement. And what sort of abuse are we talking about? Sexual abuse should be reported to the authorities.

He gets home to find the menu has changed. Hubby gets pissed because he had his taste set for first selection. Wife gets pissed because she feel hubby is not appreciative. What do you think?<br /><br />I think in a perfect world, hubby would come home and eat dinner without whining, and then after dinner, casually ask if his wife could make the first dinner selection the following night, that he was looking forward to it.
