I have a strong, albeit unusual spiritual life. I love it when I can help someone. If we could all live in unconditional love and acceptance, ppl would finally be contented. I enjoy dancing, quiet debates, walking in warm rain, love camping, etc...Like most, I'm very complex. I am alone, and sometimes lonely, I want a life partner, and wonder if that will ever happen for me. I have 2 kids, 25 and 23. I stay crazy to keep from going insane. I'm 50 and could swear I'm somewhere between 20-30 inside. I believe in the paranormal. I am psychic. It's not something I try to advance in, it's just there. I believe in aliens and ufo's. I'm a very open-minded person. I'm fluent in American Sign Language, it's so beautiful and expressive. I used to be an interpreter, I hated it. I used to teach it, and loved it. I love to cook if I have someone to cook for. I'm rusty now, but with a little oil, I'm a very good cook. I'm a homebody. I love to make my home...well...homey, welcoming.

  • I've been incestually molested and abused all my life.I supressed it most of my life allowing me to function.

    I have many disorders, including multiple personalities. I'm 50 now. Therapy taught me to know how abuse feels. To avoid any more pain, I kicked every abuser out of my life. Now I am a hermit. An extensive study was done to explain this wide spread event. They put 100 women in a room this included only 3 abuse victims.Then they added 1 abusive person.These perpetrators knew exactly who the 3 women were, never even one mistake. This is what allows them to choose who the easy prey are. This is why I am a hermit, I can't take any more pain. I think I would explode! I'm 50 now. I've been depressed and suicidal all my life. I've been trying to deal all my life. l have so many disorders, it's hard to survive, let alone live. My way of coping has become disorders. I don't know if I'm capable of sustaining any relationship. If I don't want to be with me, how can I ask anyone else to? How do I start to embrace life instead of just surviving? I've racked my brain, and still have no answer. Help!

  • I think I'm going to die, and I'm scared?

    I have growth up and down my spine. I don't know if it's cancer or not, and won't until the end of the month. I have no family around, no friends. I've been a hermit for a long time, except for on here. I don't want answers, just support, and maybe an email or two. I'm all alone, and I'm in serious pain, and I'm terrified. I know the people on here are caring, and I need some of that.

    peace

  • spinal tumors and masses?

    Does anyone know where I can get help for general care aid? I have no money, no friends, no family, in short I am all alone. So does anyone know of an organization that will help me out. There is almost no chance for recovery. However it's moving pretty slow, so I have time to search. Any ideas?

  • Sparing you the long backstory. Except that I have post traumatatic stress disorder. My son who is 25?

    is a rapist. Unfortunately I have enough proof to break through my denial. Now I need to know how to live with this knowledge. I have disowned him, but I hurt so horribly, I don't know how to survive it. I'm on meds, but this is just too much. I can't even really get my head around it. I don't want to believe it, but there is too much proof right in front of me. My daughter told me he molested her when she was young. Now I have so much more proof from others who are afraid to press charges. My hands are tied and I can't stop him, or warn others who will not listen. He also has an std he is knowingly passing out. I know I need therapy, but do any of you have something that can help me until I can get help elsewhere?

    Thank you in advance.

  • I've had to kick my son out of my life?

    I can't go into details here, except to say that he is truly evil. I guess I never really believed in evil, not real evil, but he is. He's done things that are worse than cruel and he thinks it's funny. Hurting people is fun to him. Rape is fun to him. The problem is he is still my son and regardless of what he's done I still love him. Anyone have any idea how to get over the knowledge that I can never let him into my life again. I'm in mourning, but must stay strong as he keeps trying to call me. I don't answer, but it's painful. Is there nothing I can do but go through this pain? Thank you in advance for your answers.

  • Wiccans I need some help!?

    I believe in Wicca, but have natural psychic power, so I have never had need of a spell. Do any of you know of a safe, easy protection spell I can cast to keep a particular person away from me? I don't want to hurt him of course, just keep him away.

    Thank you in advance.

  • Why is it that love itself is not enough to keep two people together?

    It seems that being in love would be enough. However, it seems to be just one requirement for a relationship. How do we get our partner to understand that there needs to be relationship upkeep. It feels like allowing myself to love again is just asking for pain. Why can't love be enough?

  • Is there any way to get over someone who died while trying to get over you?

    When I went to his funeral, everyone from his mom to his sister told me over and over how much he still loved me. I should have taken him back when he asked me, but I didn't think he could handle taking care of my new baby with me. (not his) Now I know I should have taken him back, but he died. I was told by his family that he was using too much, and drinking too much trying to forget me. I feel like I killed someone I really did love. Still do, feelings like that don't go away. How do I put that in the past where it belongs. It's been over 20 years ago now, but it won't stay there. It doesn't help that part of Grand Funk Railroad was family, and their music pops up when I least expect it.

  • My son is 25, but way too immature to care for a baby. However his sperm didn't care. Now he has someone who

    isn't even really a friend pregnant, 2 months worth. Her and I have become good friends, and the from the very first time I heard about the baby, I love her or him with all my heart. I feel as strong about this baby as I did my own. Maybe even stronger. Well she is having a really hard time. She quit taking meds for a brain tumor and for emotional problems, her mother has thrown her out of the house, and my son is staying with me. I have no way to get to her, as I have no money, nor car. My mom to be has had cramping and light bleeding, but so far the baby seems fine. Just in danger. My mom keeps telling me that some babies just aren't meant to be, and maybe it would be a blessing if the baby didn't make it. My son has made the same type of remarks. I love this little tadpole I would do anything for it to survive, and thrive. Do you think I should not feel so strong about my own grandbaby regardless of the circumstances. Am I being over emotional about it??

  • I injured my knee 2 months ago. No one could figure out what was wrong. Finally they discovered a?

    hematoma under my patella. According to my surgeon, removing it is not an option, as it will just come back. He wants to wait for my body to absorb it. Does anyone know how long this takes? My patella looks like a tennis ball instead of a knee cap. It's been 2 months already. How much longer will it take? Anyone know for sure, or have an educated guess?

    Thanks

  • Over the slapping of his thighs, a voice is heard “George! HOW can we stop the hellish war among our ppl?

    A sing-song voice replies “Well Bob, we’re using the time honored coin toss! Heads for those with no faith. Tails for those with faith! Coin is up!” Twinkling silver slices the air! FLASH! The coin disappears! It’s hidden from sight! Just as ritual prescribes! “This is it!” Gasping, Bob shows the coin. It’s right on its edge! "All are guilty of judging, anger, hate and so much more, each to their own! George! Tell them what they’ve won!” A baritone voice replies, “For each, a designer chair, made just for them. All on the front line of this intolerable pit of Prejudice and intolerance. If those who now own a chair are honest, they know the "sins" they honor: Judgment, false pride, rage and hate, among many, many other wrongnesses. All are dipping. ”There is but one rule. For the faithful: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as you love yourself. For unbelievers, only one rule: Unconditionally Love Each Other!

    What do you think?

  • I've had a cat for over 5 years she never, ever lets me hold her. Last night she kept putting her front paws

    on my lap crying. Every time I follow her, she usually leads me to her problem. Finally she took me to her litter. She strained with her whole tiny body. Nothing. Next time she came to me she was howling, very much in pain. When I checked, she had a little blood coming out of her, she's been fixed. I couldn't hold her down to see up close. I went down the hall to get an animal lover for help, not home. She let me hold her, not at all like her, as long as I left her hind end alone. She was very quiet, just mewling a little. I couldn't figure out any way to help her. Soon, she was quiet and pretty limp. I don't drive, I couldn't go to the Vet. Hosp. Sobbing hard and scared to death, all I could do was hold her and try to give her comfort. I was terrified she would die in my arms. After about an hour, she took me to her litter. She finally went a little, and slowly returned to normal self. I'll add oil to her food now. Is there anything else, or more I could have done do you think?

  • This is her son, I'm 25 yrs old, I work in the music industry promoting bands. A good friend of mine is the

    the drummer of a very popular band in this state. He has a g/f who I met last week. There have been many issues in the past between us as we keep attracting the same women. my g/fs will chase him and vice versa. Before we just kinda got pissed off at each other, quit talking for a while, then move on. His new g/f and I spent lots of time at the last show. He was gone acting like a rockstar. The next couple days I stayed with him & his singers house. His g/f was there too, and we really clicked. She is an amazing girl with lots to offer anyone. All he's done is ignore her. We've ended up coming onto each other a lot. I know he's using her as a sugar mama. The local music industry doesn't pay much, and she is wealthy. He wants her money, I really care about her. We talk everyday . I really want to be with her but I don't want to lose his friendship or his band as a client they are on they're way up and we are planning a tour with a national act, what to do, what to do?

  • Getting medicaid to foot the bill. I have a badly injured knee that really neeeds anit-inflamatory medication

    I cannot take any of them due to stomach problems. There is only one anti-inflamatory medication that does not pass through the stomach called Toridol. It is an inter muscular injection. My doctor knows I can give myself the shot, and gave me a prescription for it. However Medicaid won't cover it. I'm guessing that's because there are so many out there that do not have to be injected, and it's not a usual medication to take home. Its really more than I can afford with my income. Does anyone know how to appeal their decision? My body will not allow me to anything else. Nothing else will do what this med does. Even using 2 vicoden es every 4 hours do not work well without an anti-inflamatory medication as well. I really need this as I have been in constant pain since the 7th of June. I'm still waiting to see what kind of surgery they want to do. I won't see the surgeon until the 26th of this month. Help!
