  • do you think maybe people who try to help people are doing the wrong thing?

    obviously, this is a loaded question. I consider myself the opposite of self seeking, most of the time- in the sense that I am readily available to anyone who needs help,and I am glad to help...or at least I was.. but lately I feel that my help is now expected.. and when i don't offer my services, which I have started to do lately, due to the fact I am so busy helping the people nearest to me, that I am now being considered rude or even nasty.. I have never asked anyone for help or sought it.. I am self sufficient- but i've realised lately that people who are always rude and selfish get appreciated for doing small guestures of selflessness...and I wonder maybe if I was a bit more selfish and pursued my own thing If I might achieve much more and be valued more.. any thoughts?

  • How come england always are high ranked by fifa even though they lose to anyone half decent?

    England always seem to be placed in qualifying groups with rubbish sides like montenegro or poland as their toughest opponents.. Because they are high ranked by fifa but when they play anyone in the top 20 they struggle really badly and get beat or play really bad and fluke a goal in..and they only play friendly matches at home

  • Why is my mother so nosy?

    Long story short, i had to move back home a few years ago after a breakup, and losing my job. I was out one day and came home to find my mum "cleaning" my room.. I'm 32 years old! My room didn't need cleaned.. I found a pile of personal letters i had stashed away were sitting on the bed- being "sorted". What the hell is this about? Do mothers just enjoy invading your private space any chance tgey get or what?

  • My mum is depressed and its making me extremely stressed out...?

    I like my own space. I have always been that way. The only time I really hang around friends is on the weekend, and I like to occasionally call them up on the phone, but not that often- I am a guy, if thats not obvious lol.

    Anyway, my mum has been stressed at work for a long period of time.. about 6 years.. I have been advising her to switch jobs from virtually the first day she started- as it was clear she was going to hate working there- and that she was getting herself stressed out.. I've done stressful jobs myself but If I feel its going to take a toll on my health, I get out and do something else.. but mum is worried about not having the money, I keep telling her the money comes second to your health..and anyway,I could help her out in the meantime, you could put a transfer in or go for a different job, but she wouldn't listen.. and now she is suffering from depression, and has had to leave her job. I got her to go to councelling but she has given up on it. She is still taking her medication though. But i've ended up losing my job because of tiredness from the stress of trying to take care of her.. She wakes me up very early in the morning to tell me she is depressed and doesn't want to be alone by herself, and yet wont go to the councelling and doesn't feel any joy from any encouragement, I have spent weeks reading about depression on the internet and showing her ways people deal with it, and she has appreciated some of the things I have shown her.. I take her out every day for walks, and I let her do anything she wants to do- unfortunately, this can mean I spend all day and evening in her company- and I can't get the time to apply for work, and actually don't know if it is worth bothering applying since I wont have the mindset to work- as I will be too exhausted- I also don't want to leave her alone at home. Its stressing me out so much not being able to do what I want to do- for 90% of the day. I have no relatives to fall back on- and I offloaded a bit of my grief to my friends but I don't want to turn them away.. I am worried that I may become depressed due to this stress.. Its not like leaving a job, I can't just walk away and try something else. I am keeping myself upbeat a lot of the time, since I am getting little positive feedback from my mum.. I've never been a worrier, I am an extremely upbeat person- but I feel like she is sucking all the joy out of me..I go to bed now and expect to wake up to her crying in my room, and i'm getting extremely tired and drained by it. I love her and don't want anything bad to happen to her, and I do everything I can every day to help her, but I worry my personal life is quickly disapearing. I don't do what I normally used to- no more gym, no more pool matches- and lately I am not going out with friends- although I desperately want to, because I am afraid she will take her own life. My dad died about 17 years ago, from suicide, and my mum was in shock and sad for a few years after that, but she got back on her feet, between me, and counceling, and some of her friends.. I was devastated too, of course, but did a lot of soul searching and got on with my life.. but now she told me she has had suicidal thoughts and that the only reason she hasn't killed herself is because she wouldn't want to put me through it.

    I know this isn't really a question, I'm just looking advice or reassurance i guess!

  • My mum has told me and my brother she is depressed and?

    She was in a car accident not long ago, but it wasn't serious, but now she has explained it wasn't an accident- at all, something told her to crash and she acted within a split second.

    My dad killed himself 14 years ago (i was 13 at the time).. My mum explained her attempt to us because she was terrified that she could've killed herself and put us through that pain again..and has said she will never do it, but she has been acting oddly. She saw the doctor and is going to get councelling, and the doctor has given her antidepressants but she is ashamed to use them no matter how much i reassure her that they aren't anything to be ashamed off- just like taking flu medicine if you have the flu.. I am worried deeply, and can't seem to be much help, i have spent 7-8 hours talking to her every day for the last 4 days, trying to be upbeat and helping her, and reading up on depression and trying to encourage her but i feel like i'm getting ill myself now.. And i don't know if she will go to councellung even if i go with her.. Feel pretty helpless! Any advice anyone?

  • are we all insignificant insects?

    was just sitting thinking about this today. not in a snobby way. I am not an intellectual by any means.

    But I just sort of thought of all my problems and thought, you know what, I am actually just a little insect and anything I ever did or do wouldn't matter that much. All the famous people I idolised as a kid I barely have any feeling for now.. because they are similarly insects. I just feel like nothing can bother me now.. tell me your own feelings about this,sorry if this sounds super lame to you- it would normally, to me,, give me some of your own philosophy- and make sure its your own!!! :)

  • going to a barbeque with mumsie?

    So I am going to a barbeque with my mum and my aunt and uncle are going to be there- and cousins who are a lot younger than me, but not too young that they arent adults (around 20-22) who will be bringing lots of their friends, around the same age. I will be the only one there who is 31, and arriving with my mother.This has the potential to be so crap and awkward. Also I think I may have kissed one of my cousins friends a few months ago. Any advice? I do want to enjoy myself, but i'm not concerned about making friends or anything like that.

  • bought a six pack of beer tonight, one was half empty?

    ok, so i bought a six pack of beer.. one of the beers was noticably a lot lighter than the rest... I mean, it weighed hardly anything, and when i shook it, it was clear it was basically only a can that had been filled a fifth or so of the way, roughly. What do I do about this? I have checked, and there is no sign of damage, or leakage.

  • my grandad has Alzheimer's.. I sat with him today, and I want to help him what do i do?

    I had to sit with my grandad today as my mum couldn't, due to work.

    I don't know him too well.. I never knew him too well, we barely talked.. I was just a kid for all the years I knew him, and all i remember is him taking out his false teeth and chasing me (in a nice funny way lol)..but today I done my mums shift and was aware he was trying to reach out.. He would say something and then forget.. but he smiled so much that I was there, i felt so strongly that I want to help him.. I looked up about alzheimers online.. to get a better idea of it.. i don't think my mums family care too much about his condition.. because he is quiet, and untroublesome.. but he looks so sad, and like he wants to say something..i think he was always aloof when he was younger..he enjoyed his own privacy, and i reckon he doesn't want to have the attention that has been thrust on him.. I would love a bit of advice!.. i'd like to help him see out his final days in a joyful way.
