My dad is very ill, and there isn't much I can do other than visit him at the hospital which is very stressful.

i'm sorry to hear about that. i hope all turns out well for your father, be sure to spend as much time with him during this troubling time. i understand the hospital is very stressful, but i'm sure it would mean the world to him if you gave him your company, at least for a bit. the hospital will take good care of him.

I slept pretty well last night but all day today I been so tired.. I literally slept almost all day except at 10:30 I had to do my swimming but as soon as I got home at 12 I slept again.. is there something wrong.. I don't wanna keep sleeping and not actually sleep tonight..

no, this happens to everyone. we all have those days where our sleep schedule is complete whack. give yourself a break. you shouldn't over-think this! instead, go take a rest. if you're tired, you deserve sleep. i would set an alarm to wake yourself up later, though, and then go back to sleep during the night. you could also set an alarm for morning to wake yourself up early, which would make you tired the entire day, but in the end your sleep schedule would be back to normal in no time.

So... I was making a new friend and they just asked me to do something that goes against my beliefs... and now I feel bad because I told them I wouldn't do it. And I'm not sure if I made the right choice or not.

despite the fact that you didn't share what they requested from you, i'm almost certain that you made the right decision. if something goes against your beliefs, then you just shouldn't do it. if someone you just met is requesting things you feel goes against your beliefs, you are more than welcomed to tell them that. if they understand, that's good, and if not, then that's on them, and they are probably not the best friend for you. don't feel bad because you told them no, you can do that! there's nothing wrong with telling someone no, in fact it's a nice step toward standing up for your beliefs c:

My first really serious relationship was with this guy who I was friends with for a long time first. I found out after many, many years of knowing and loving him that he was married and in an open polyamorous relationship.

He never told me he was poly or that he was married. I knew he had 2 kids (I met him before his kids were born) but he never spoke about their mother, and I always assumed it was from a relationship that didn't work out before we started getting serious. It's the only relationship I ever had where I said I love you to him, we talked about moving in together, and I had even come to terms with the fact that he was a group package deal because of his son and daughter. When I found out he was poly I was super devastated, and this was after 5+ years of an on again off again relationship with this guy. So I had invested a lot of my heart into the idea of us.

I didn't immediately break up with him. I let the relationship fizzle back to just friendship and that's where it's been stagnate for the past few years. Last year he flew out to where I live to hang out with me, I know he wanted to rekindle our relationship, but I made up tons of excuses and only really spent one evening with him in a very public situation and refused to let him get me alone for anything romantic to happen. I could tell he was disappointed. We haven't spoken a whole lot since then. I know he doesn't know why I'm kind of cold with him now. I know in his head he doesn't see what he did as cheating since he's poly, but I really feel like I was the "other" person for the entirety of our romantic relationship. And since I never told him the reason we aren't together anymore is because of his wife, I doubt he even knows why I seem uninterested.

I still love him and probably will always love him. No one has ever made me feel so positive about myself, and whenever we talked it made me smile. I do NOT want a relationship with him, as I am not poly. I'm not angry about what happened either, to be honest, I'm just hurt. Trying to date now, I just compare everyone to him. I'm starting to think I'm happier alone.

Anyway here's the more current tangible issue. We are Facebook friends, and while we don't talk as often as we used to, it sort of triggers my emotions every time I see him post something. He recently (like just this past year) came out to all of his Facebook frinds as poly and started talking more openly about his wife. I really don't want to see that stuff anymore.

I can't decide if I want to unfriend him on facebook or if I should just deal with it in order to keep the remaining shreds of our friendship? Like... would it be good for me to cut him out of my life?

I really want to talk about my feelings with him but I know that would accomplish nothing. We'd only be worse off than we are now I guess.

I'm going to regret this sincerely. I'm going to sit here, wish everything was as perfect as it was a year ago, wish you were still part of my life. I'm going to curse the fact you went to college - even though I know you're happier now - which is going to cause me to feel guilty. You found someone new, completely forgot about me in the process. I'm going to lie to myself and tell me those days I skipped school for you, the several hours we spent talking together, all those messages.. I'm going to tell myself it's worth it.

Yet, I've been though the traumatic experience of my best friend's death. I've watched my grandmother slowly die of cancer. I've been though my first ultrasounds. I'm seeing my own specialist soon after they found lumps in my breast. I've been through surgery. Second and third digree burns. I've been to hell and back...

And yet... This hurts more than all of that combined.

Hi, can someone please PM me? Thanks for any help. <3

It's nearly 4 AM. I can only lay here listening to music wondering where in the hell I went wrong. I'm beginning to fear for myself. I'm not sleeping as well as I used to. Not eating like I should be. Not socializing as I need to. I'm wasting away staring in the dark.. every night the same thing for months. I've become so disconnected.

[redhorizon]

Oh god, I'm having a huge panic attack and I'm worried to death. I got sick last night at about 10:40ish and was throwing up all night until maybe 6ish. I got my mom sick as well and she started throwing up at 3-4ish. I feel really bad for getting her sick since she's on like, 20-30 different dangerous meds that she HAS to take and she can't keep anything down. She hasn't been able to get any water in her and she's been throwing up and having diarrhea for 4ish hours, so she's super dehydrated. She started getting loopy and almost passed out 3 or 4 times. She started drifting and my stepdad was getting her ready to go to the hospital and put her coat on her and not even a minute later she asked why her coat was on. We called an ambulance and about 5-10 minutes ago my mom was wheeled away and my stepdad left my sister and I (Me being still slightly sick) to go take care of her. I'm really scared. She was saying her chest and stomach were hurting and she couldn't stand up and now I'm anxiously awaiting a call from my stepdad to tell me everything will be alright and that she's fine. But I'm scared that call won't be coming.

I could really use a PM.

Sometimes, all will be calm, No tears, no voices.
Then all hell breaks lose.

When I was little, I was born with no ability to see as normal as everyone else, I am stereoblind. Sadly, not even another surgery could fix it. I was also told I had been born cross-eyed, I have had three surgeries to fix it, but that's not what I'm going at.
I found out the reason I have so many health problems, Is because when my mom was pregnant with me, she couldn't control her want to smoke, I don't know how many times, and I don't want to know. But, because of her, I can't run a lot like I want to, I can't play sports, I have bad stomach pains monthly, I can barely see out of one eye, I hate this.
My legs are weak and its killing me to know I won't ever be able to live like everyone else in my school, they play sports, I can't, they can run, I can't.
Why am I so messed up?
I guess all of that is the reason why my mom likes to point out my flaws, tell me I'm wrong when I'm right, yell at me, side with my brother, even if he's wrong.
My mental health is getting so bad, I have had so many mental breakdowns, I have been bullied, at home and at school and online! It never ends! Sometimes, I let the voices ramble, it kinda calms me down, listening to my own flaws.
Sometimes, I repeat what they say, over and over.
Then my anxiety kicks in, then my fears send me into overdrive.
I wish life could have spared me.

I have even more metal and health issues I'd rather not say unless by PMs.
