  • What Can I do to stop negative thoughts?

    Lately, I have had many negative thoughts that just drain my energy.   Overall, my life is okay and I'm not sure why my thinking has become very negative.

    Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you for answering my questions.

  • Why do you think the other 3 stages Rest added to make up his 4-stage model ?

    Rest argues that “moral judgment, while important, is not the only, nor the most significant, influence on ethical decision making” (Lincoln & Holmes, 2011, p 57). Why do you think the other 3 stages Rest added to make up his 4-stage model are important both personally and professionally when it comes to ethical decision making?

  • Why does this happen?

    People say hi at work but they never want to have a conversation. I know saying hi is a polite thing to do but they will say hi almost everyday and I say hi back and then that's it. It feels so meaningless, so robotic. It even makes me feel lonely. Sometimes I think that perhaps they just say hi for attention not out of kindness and I'm just another person they seek attention from to validate their existence.

  • Im a single mom going through a spiritual awakening and feel so lost and depressed.?

    After two years on my awakening I feel like Ive discovered my potential. I took out 6 months to figure out what I wanted for my daughter and I. I also focused on giving my daughter more attention. I realised though that my mom didn't prepare me for life. She also gave up every easily when she got .m.s. She is little to no help because she's so negative. I have a plan to get myself in a happy place financial. But everyday I fail at going to apply for a new job( out of my comfort zone) Perhaps im afraid because for once im actually ready to be on my own but nobody in my family made it. however I have big plans on modeling. I know I have talent but I feel lonely. It feels like everything is so sensitive to me now and it effects my day. I have one best friend who i talk to occasionally but I feel like nobody understands me or can give me the right support. if not that then I feel they envy me or try to be nosey. To make it worse I chose to move in with my mom rent free to eventually save up for a house but its so eerry at our complex. I cleanse my space but still can't get comfortable. I know the solution is to get a job but I feel so burdened and tired. Ive accomplished so much that most couldn't but this time im taking on a bigger role and that's being a mom. Im only 23 my daughter is 3. Everyday I feel like im failing her because im so lost and depressed :(. On top of that Im surrendering to a twin flame. Who ive caused myself lots of stress due to being in this dark space!

  • What do I do with my life?

    Hi Yahoo Answers, my name is Leo. I’m 19 years old and I live in Indiana, USA. I did well in school as a kid, up until I developed some mental health issues that were worse than I knew at the time and at my age. I’m now taking steps to help myself and ease my mind, but through what feels like forever feeling exhausted or lonely or sad or empty I’ve found the most help in creating. For as long as I can remember, if someone were to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would say an actor. Or a comedian. My answers have always had a connection, and that is my desire to entertain. I love singing, I love writing. I love performing and when I have performed in the past (with my middle/high school’s show choirs) it has made me feel more alive than ever. I want nothing more than to sing and make it my full time life and career. It’s what I know I’m meant to do. The problem, as I’m sure you have guessed, is that it’s not an easy industry to enter and make a living off of. I know this, and so my question is what do I do? It is the only thing I could imagine doing.... I know I’m only 19 but I need to pick a path whether it be education in some field I’m settling for/not satisfied with or pursuing performing full on. Sorry for the long read...... and the heavy question.... I know it’s not an easy one to answer but I suppose that’s why I’m here.

    TL;DR: my one and only dream in life seems unrealistic to everyone around me even though I myself can visualize it. What do I do?

  • Why does my anxiety feel worse psychologically, but it isn't as bad physically... compared to years ago?

    From about the 5th or 6th grade my anxiety was literally constant. I've been asked if I have ever had panic attacks, and I would say no. Why? Because it was constant anxiety. I was always panicking...... and I never knew that until several years ago. Then about 8 years ago I started believing crazy sh*t (shapeshifters posed as what was, in my eyes, 80% of the world's population). Then about a year later, I go to jailbfor 6 months. I was on probation for a second time, and was arrested again.bso 6 month sentence. That 6 months was terrifying to me. I believed everyone in jailbwasban evilbshapeshifter spying on my thoughts. Then I began to believe they were condemning me for fun. Right before jail, a news anchor telepathically told me the shapeshifters were my "demonic torturers". And my brother claimed he had the power to condemn me (telepathically). Then jail. They telepathized a lot of scary sh*t to me. Then, I realized the truth about the world. That everyone around me is my omnipotent creator.

    Now, my anxiety comes and goes. When it comes it is severe mentally, but I don't shake and twitch and sweat profusely like I used to. Does anyone know why that might be?
