i'm 18. currently live in edinburgh and its a wonderful wonderful city. originally am from warsaw. in three days im starting a journalism course at uni. my life is currently the most hopeless hellhole. im in love with the most depressed weirdo emotional asshole on the planet, i can't let go of him and want to be there for him cos nobody will but he wont let me. i think my life used to be interesting but now i just cry and eat pills and am thinking about seeing a shrink. i don't believe in bad luck yet it decided to bash into me headfirst and kick my ass. oh yeah, and all my friends are moving away to uni tomorrow to cities all over the country and i won't see them for weeks. why does life have to suck so much?

You know Soma, it's just like picking, you have to make a conscious decision to not plan your life around this person. They are bringing you down and you don't need that. Take a stand, make some other, more positive healthy friends and go do something! You have to be the person that makes yourself better. Don't let them drag you down. Just know that you are loved by all of us!!!

hey sandybeach... thanks, that's really sweet of you to say... but thing is- i really care about this person and i know he's not a bad person, he's just got problems (not like they can be an excuse for everything, i know that) and i understand that its important for me to feel good, but he's a friend and matters a lot, so ive my mind set on helping him and i can't just leave it cause that would mean ive given up on a friend... agh it's so complicated... people are just so complicated, its scary... if only we could come to a clear understanding of what is and isn't and accept change and reality it would be so much easier... xxxxxxxxxx m

soma, i could not ignore this stuff about this friend you are talking about- i have been in EXACTLY the same situation. please hear this- it will save you so so much greif- this is very difficult to accept, but you have to realize you can never never never save anyone. period. no. you cant. of course thats different from being a friend. he is the only one who can help himself. you can love him you can listen to him you can be honest with him you can give your advice and opinions. but letting yourself be dragged down by HIS problems so that you are depressed and eat pills is NOT helping him. remember the more down you are, the less you will be able to be there for him. help yourself first and that will help him. no one will benefit from your desinegration. sorry i know im being really emphatic about this but i guess its cause ive been through it before and im here to tell you, when you try to be a savior and get lost in someone else's world boy it hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts. keep your chin up woman much love, rabbitmoon.

I love hanging with my friends by the pool having ice cold corona's on the weekends. My husband and my girls make me the happiest of all. They have stuck by me through thick and thin. Thanks and God Bless! *Sanctuary*

Hi Kids! CuseFan here, from good old Syracuse, NY! I have been an upstater for the majority of my life with a year stint in Boston, the city I really love. I am also very close with my family. I just got back out of the house after struggling to find a good job, and moved about 10 miles from my parents, who have been together for 30+ years. My sister, who is newely pregant and her husband live in Albany, and I CANT WAIT to be an Aunt. I have a bf of about 1 1/2 years but we have always been in a long distance relationship (he lives about 3 hours away). Until next month, when he MOVES IN WITH ME! Yikes. We are a little nevous to go from seeing eachother like 4 days in a row to all days, but we are quite confident it will be amazing and just a step in the right direction. I went to school in Rochester for Computer Animation, but grew sick of it after a 1 1/2 year senior thesis project! thats when I decided to teach myself the basics of web design, which i have been doing ever since. I enjoy rollerblading, and reading, and have a little stationary business on the side, SUMOInk. Basically I make wedding invites and such, but I have not persued it very much. Man, its hard to fit your life in one paragraph! I will stop blabbing. oh, I am 25! and i too love john mayer and others! -cuse

Hello, I am 29 years old, and a stay at home mom, (who doesn't stay home very often). We own our home, and my husband owns and operates a small dealership which is right below our house. I do the paperwork and books for our business, and we make just enough money to pay the bills, and keep me home with the kids. I spend much time stressing over money, and in the last three months have been trying to change my attitude to a more positive less stressed one. We live in Gaston, OR which has about 600 people living here. I have a 13 year old stepson who we have had full custody of for four years now. He came to live with us in the fourth grade at a first grade level, and is ADHD, and so I spend alot of time up at the school working with his teachers to try to catch him up. Then there is the doctor appointments to check on his medicine. My daughter is four and loves to dance. I take her to dance class once a week. My youngest son just turned a year, and is taking his first steps. We have three dogs, two dachshunds, and one stray we took in. We live about 10 miles from all my side of the family. Most of my husbands side is about 45 minutes away, with a few that are about 4-5 hours away. I spend alot of time with my Grandparents, as they are ageing, and I help them out around their house. I want for my kids to know and remember them always because they are wonderfull people. I am usually a happy person, and love my family very much! Amy

Hi everyone. I'm 42 years old and I am also a stay at home mom. Well, I don't really need to be a stay at home mom any more since my daughters have all graduated but I enjoy home life and love taking care of things around here. I've been happily married for 22 years and have a daughter getting married next spring. I have a retired racing greyhound, two cats and a parakeet. It's been nice reading about all of you.

Hi all! My name is Andrea. I just turned 24 years old (on 9/11 to be exact - I know, I know, sucks to have that birthday). I live in Drexel Hill, PA. I am a legal secretary for a small law firm, but I am planning on going to nursing school next fall. It's always been a dream of mine, and now I finally have the time and the money to do it. I just bought my first house and I am getting married in May (so excited!!!). I live in my brand new house with my fiance and my cat Ralph who is knocking everything he can find on the desk onto the floor. Well, I better go so I can yell at him.

Hi! I'm Sarah, a 19 year old Textiles and Merchandising major at the university of Wyoming. I love horses, star wars (fanatically), sewing, drawing, designing web pages, and listening to people. I work for Time Warner Cable (even though I'm in Wyoming ) And I love my job, but I never want to do this all my life. I just got out of a really special relationship and things have been going really bad for me. So I've had some pretty rough days. Was in the hospital last week for trying to kill myself and was committed for a few days. (Not fun). But things are getting better to deal with, even though I'm currently of the opinion that all men are bastards. I've got two sisters and a brother, I am the oldest, so I learned to put up with a lot, especially as an army brat. I moved all over the world so I got to see a lot. And Soma, I've been addicted to all kinds of drugs before, just take it one day at a time. Being there for your guy takes a lot out of you. Remember that you are a beautiful special person that deserves to be loved to. So take some time out of taking care of him to take care of yourself. And if you need to talk, just drop me a line.

Hi, my name's Meia (as in Maya Angelou, not Mia Farrow). I'm 28 and live in Boise, Idaho. I just got married in October and moved into a nice rental house with my husband, who was from New York City but came out here to be with me. And we're both unemployed...anybody hiring??
My dad suffers from severe depression, and I was raised around him having nervous breakdowns and often not being able to work. I have no brothers or sisters, and grew up kind of a loner. My husband and I were both raised in the same high control religion which we just broke free of around the time of our wedding...and are being shunned by most of our family and friends that we grew up around. We're trying to make new friends and go on with our lives but it's hard and we get lonely a lot. He's a wonderful, supportive guy. I suffer from depression off and on, and he suffers from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and all-around adorable geekiness.
My interests lie mainly in emotional healing, also in art, poetry, writing, reading, cooking, theater, the arts, etc.
I think that's me in a nutshell! (Help, help, I'm in a nutshell...) It was great reading about all of you. Thanks for the wonderful site, Kathy.

My name's Tina (if you hadn't guessed already!) and i live in the UK (am i the only Brit here?!) i'm an 18 year old girl and i'm studying medicine at Cambridge University - it's really hard work and quite stressful but i'm really enjoying it too, it has a lovely atmosphere and i've made loadsa great friends here. i really want to qualify as a paediatrician eventually cos i love working with kids (i think it's something about my maturity level... ) i'm pretty close to my two younger sisters and parents, and love just chilling out with friends or playing sport or going out - just having fun! right, next one up! take care everyone, love Tina xxx
