Um, okay I did a bag thing and I did what I think I was supposed to, to right it and everything but I still feel terrible and I don't know how to deal with it. It's gotten so bad that even visiting the place it happened at pulls me into panic attacks.

[Faint]

This is going to sound stupid compared to the problems of others here, but I need to get it off my chest.

Okay, so I volunteer for a charity that utilises horse riding for people with physical and mental disabilities. Usually, it's a lot of fun, and I really enjoy it.

However, a few weeks ago, one of the ponies nipped me while I was leading him, and then later on the same day, another one stood on my foot (not deliberately). The thing is, both those incidents damaged my confidence a little bit. I still go, but just feel like I'm being held back by my fear that I'll get bitten or trodden on again. Or that something even worse will happen. Thing is, it's just really bothering me and reducing the enjoyment I get out of it.

It's a silly thing to be bothered over, I know, but I can't help it. I always worry over the tiniest things, and wish I didn't.

It is probably the fact that one of the ponies is playing or testing the limits. Such ponies will always exist and believe me they behave like this even with professional riders. So don't take it personally! You need to be confident and stern with them in order to lead them. Horses and animals in general can sense your feelings. If you do feel anxious do try to practise breathing techniques and don't visualise negative situations. If it helps you may want to spend time with that naughty pony (i.e grooming them) to learn about the patterns of behaviour they may have. To overcome that fear you have to face that fear - but remember you are doing a wonderful job helping people and helping charity. ;D

I feel so alone. Only have two, maybe three people to talk to.
My girlfriend hasn't mailed back in over a week. Almost two now. My best guy friend is always busy, and my best friend doesn't understand what I go through. She's a great listener and has a good heart but i don't want to drag her down all the time. I have some nice people on CS I can talk to sometimes but overall I'm still lonely. It's mostly the whole girlfriend thing. I'm sticking to the theory that maybe she's grounded and will mail back when she's ungrounded. But her being gone creates a big hole in my heart. Hope she comes back soon

Yesterday a relative found a black kitten under her hood on her engine. She was returning from her boyfriends when she had car trouble and pulled over. She grabbed the kitten and searched for anymore...but didn't find any. Last night after stopping at a friends the second kitten climbed out and she ran him over. She's heart broken, and so am I. He keeps crying for his sibling and his mom and it's heartbreaking because they aren't coming for him. With each cry he gets more desperate..ugh.
I love helping animals, but it's so heartbreaking at times.

Today a snake got into my pigeon-house and killed 3 babies and a quail. I am so upset and angry. If any snake EVER comes anywhere near them again, I am going to make its death 10x as painful as those four bird's. I usually not apt to make anything die painfully, but to that snake..

ugh ... i hate homeschool.
i have done half a page in two hours ..
what the heck is wrong with me? oh i know, i am a failure, who will never succeed in life.
i am dumb and stupid and i will never make my dad proud of me ..
how much is a plane ticket to somewhere besides here?

You are NOT dumb. You are NOT stupid. You are NOT a failure in life. You don't sound like you have anything wrong with you except not capitalizing your i's. I also don't know if your dad will be proud, but you can always try to make your mom proud or try harder to make your dad proud.

I'm sorry with what you're going through. I haven't seen my dad in seven-eight years. I know what you're going through ❤❤❤

I usually don't ask for help like this, but.. I really need some advice on a situation I've gotten myself into with a friend. Um.. if anyone's good with relationship advice and being able to talk about a sensitive subject, could you please send over a private message?

Basically.. I'm terrified of breaking someone's heart and need help with how to tell him that I just want to be friends, because I can't handle ruining another friendship. :(
