OMG! How long did this take you to type? Well, it took me 0seconds to read it – coz I didnt…

I have developed a pretty bad form of anxiety within the last year or so.
I have had to adapt to many changes in my lifestyle this year. I met my boyfriend nearly a year ago and everything kicked off. It was rushed into something serious. Perfect at first, until we went abroad after 4 months, nothing has been right since.

My dad has passed and I never met him. My single working mother is depressed and has been on her own for years, we struggle to get along although it has improved somewhat but still not great. I rarely get to see my nan and I don’t see anyone else.

I am bullied at college because I am hardworking yet elsewhere I am called anything but mature and hardworking.

My boyfriend is nearly 21 and he still lives with his parents and sister.

I’m going to bullet point a few things:

My boyfriend has a job and a car – however he claims to be independant despite his parents still doing a lot for him. He never bought the car either or payed for his lessons. He still gets breakfast bought to him in bed and his lifestyle is work, go home and sleep and play games and go on nights out at the weekend. Sometimes we will see each other however this is not an everyday thing. We see each other weekends.

His friends are Lovely. His family are too. But his family are strange at times. His sister is attached and clingy with him but doesn’t expect physical affection from anyone else in the family. She gives him puppy stares none stop and I feel very left out if we spend time together as a 3. His mother is unemployed and brings out strange rules about needing breaks at the weekends despite it always being balanced. My mother works and she doesn’t. His dad gets hardly any attention. He has to cook for everyone and he gets nothing in return. He is nagged at as soon as he enters home. The women in my boyfriends family get more attention yet his mother is honestly lazy and his sister can be quite spoil ed sorry to say.

I am never jealous or possessive. I let my partner live his life and I let off my best friend flirting with him.I don’t get bothered from it, I am laid back in that sense because I know he loves me.

He does a lot for me and I return the favour, but sometimes I don’t like how he talks to me when I’m anxious. I don’t want to be told to shut up, I want to feel cared for. I talk to him about it loads but how can I help a guy that is struggling to deal with it?

All of these events put together have made me extremely anxious. I worry about my boyfriend loving other people much more than me, I worry that he does not have a good time with me but has more memorable moments with others. I am concerned he favours his mother and sister over his father.

I feel like a failure to my mother because I was unexpected and I am tired of being blamed for everything. My college classmates do not bring me down – I ignore or stick up for myself but I was bullied throughout school so I am used to shakyonstant worrying has affected my health. I am very skinny and I havereferral vomited from anxious attacks. I am shakey a lot and my heart beats fast over general things.

I am getting a referal soon and I want to know what to discuss with the Doctor? Please help, thank you :]

Aw mate. You say you’re laid back but what kind of a friend is going to flirt with your boyfriend? Isn’t that a little too laid back? I’d have really told her how unhappy I was about that. It doesn’t matter if you’re secure with him, the point is that she should respect you enough not to do that.

Also, you say, you don’t want to be told to ’shut up’. Well quite right! Who’s telling you to shut up? Him? That’s not fair and that’s disrespectful if he is talking to you like that.

It’s one thing being laid back but don’t be a pushover girl. You’re worth more than that. About seeing the psychiatrist, why don’t you get a notebook out and just start writing down your concerns and feelings and then read it back and make a list of the things that you really want the psychiatrist to know. I know they’re probably really expensive and cost a lot of money so make sure that you spend some time deciding what are the most important things that you need him (or her) to help you with and be sure to tell him/her. Write it down if it helps you decide what the most important things are.

Good luck

Well I consider myself a normal guy, but my friends don’t think so.

First off, I’m 19, I live in a studio apartment, and I have almost no furniture. I use bean bags for chairs, and instead of a normal bed I sleep on a blowup bed I bought from walmart for 60$. I don’t own a tv. I don’t even own a table.

The only food I buy is hot doggs, bread, coco, and condiments. I eat 3 hotdoggs for breakfast and 3 for dinner, and thats it. I drink water only from the tap, even though my city has been voted the worst water in california (even worse than la). In the morning I wake up, smoke a ciggerette, make a cup of hot coco, and listen to public radio . I don’t have a day job. I do odd jobs like building things for people.

I drive a rv as my only auto-mobie. I even spray painted the words "the weed mobile" on the side of it, and a middle finger on the top so helecopters can have a good laugh.

Ok, now heres where it gets interesting. I don’t believe in god, yet I believe in almost every conspiracy theory on the planet. I believe aliens mixed their dna with cave men to create modern humans. My dream is to someday live in a cave in some far off with nothing but my bear hands. And I would love to do this. I also would prefer to go to prison than to be a bum. Infact, if I was in prison I would do something horrible just so they would put me in solitary confindment.

Well these are just a few things I do and believe, you be the judge?

i am glad you are not my neighbor, guys who want to do weird things to stay in prison, there are a few screws looser here, and the middle finger, i am glad as i said you are not my neighbor, i would not trust you in a cave by yourself,

you don,t have to believe in God, but you might make an effort, it is better than "pushing it" and wanting to be in solitary,

(who wants you to build things for them, this makes one wonder) coco and sigarettes, another weirdo, yeah, it is weird that you shop in walmart,

as for the hot dogs, i seem to have read somewhere, in some philosopical book someplace, "it’s so nice not to eat a hot dog"

but you are not beyond hope, perhaps you can apply these words to do some of your living by, "stay out of burning windmills, stay away from crazed villagers, and listen to blind men play the violin once in awhile"

considering what california has to offer i guess you can be considered run of the mill. take some time to find out about God

Here is the prompt if it matters:
1. Identify the person you want as your valentine. Indicate when, where and how you met. I chose my mom.
2. Describe how you would spend it. Justify activites.
3. Briefly discuss how it will impact you as a person and how it will enhance your relationship.

My essay:
Out of the three-hundred and sixty five days in a year, people have one day to show someone they love them by presenting them with materialistic gifts. Unfortunately, many people celebrate this pointless holiday and spend money on a typical box of chocolates and store bought cards dripping with sentiments. This holiday mostly benefits those greeting card companies and stores that sell chocolate. Do people really need to buy gifts and take their loved ones out to dinner to prove they love one another? If people stopped contributing to this commercialized holiday, they would realize that doing small things throughout the year and saying I love you would be enough. Even though Valentine’s Day is meant for couples, anyone who has a loved one should be able to celebrate too. After all it is a day about love, so why specify it to couples only. If I did celebrate Valentine’s Day, my mother would be my Valentine because she means the world to me and I know I would enjoy spending a day with her that will improve our mother-daughter relationship.

When someone asks who your Valentine is, most people would say “my boyfriend/girlfriend.” If one doesn’t have a girlfriend or boyfriend they engage in the practice of asking out their person of interest. In my case, Valentine’s Day would be a family holiday, not a romantic one. A word more important than love is thanks. A word many mothers don’t hear too often. This Valentine’s day, I want to not only show, but tell my mother how thankful I am for what she has done for me for eighteen years. She is my best friend and the nicest person I have known. The small things make me appreciate her even more. She deserves more than I can give her, that’s why this day will be a special day. A mother-daughter day rather than Valentine’s Day.

Our mother-daughter day would be simple and fun but special. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, will be cooked and served by myself. The cliché breakfast in bed. I would serve her favorites; eggs, hummus, falafel, Manakish (dough topped with thyme), and a nice hot cup of tea. After breakfast we would take a nice walk in our favorite park in the cool, February morning air. We head back home to begin our favorite TV show marathons. Starting with The Little House on the Prairie, my mom’s favorite classic. Finishing with a Gilmore Girls marathon, a show about the perfect mother-daughter relationship. Later that evening we set off to dinner at our favorite restaurant called, Heider Baba. My mom loves it because it serves the best Middle Eastern food in Southern California. Stuffed bellies and smiles on our faces, we drive over to the Griffith Park Observatory, our favorite spot in all of L.A. In the chilly night air, we would watch the twinkling city lights outshine the stars.

Gazing at the stars made me realize that nothing lasts forever. It’s important not to take her for granted, because she won’t be here forever. Time fades, but my love for her won’t. Not only that but it would make me a better person. My mother is kind to anyone, whether or not they were kind to her. She never forgets, but she always forgives. My mother is my role model. If I grow up to resemble my mother, I truly am a successful person.

Emotional or not, this day is meant to express feelings of love, happiness and appreciation. Whether it’s to a boyfriend or girlfriend or a mother, father, brother or a best friend. It also gives people a chance to think about someone else for a day. So many of us, especially in today’s society, are caught up in our own lives. We sometimes forget the people around us. Valentine’s Day is a good reminder for people to think about someone other than their selves for a change. Not only is Valentine’s Day a day to show my mother how much I love her, but how thankful and grateful I am to have her as my mother. Thank her for the guidance and love she has given me that no one else would. More importantly, she gave me love and guidance without expecting anything in return.

Great essay, don’t think there needs to be any editing. I think it was beautifully written. Most people take their family for granted, without even realizing it. Without our family (most of us) wouldn’t be who we are today.

use to be a teen star with a famous producer dad and now I struggle with my husband and child to run a bed and breakfast. Who am I ??

I’d like to help out in managing its cash flow and financial reports. Is there a computer software I can buy (and modify) to tailor the needs of a small hotel?

Quickbooks Pro. It can easily be modified to your business.

I am planning to use it for accounting of my bed and breakfast business.

I’ve used both and even taken classes on both as part of my accounting degree, and I personally prefer Quickbooks. Better software layout and more intuitive menu commands. Seems like I always had to search around on Peachtree for commands that should have been easy to find, which was frustrating, to say the least.

Some people claim that QB is ‘buggy’, i.e. has lots of software glitches. I personally have never had any problem with it. It’s always been a stable and reliable program for me – and I’ve been using it for over 20 years (through various upgrades).

Today is just another day filled with sorrow at the struggles orphanage. I don’t get why my parents sent me here when i was just a newborn baby. I know they’re out there somewhere and I know they love me and always have. But at least I have my diary, the only thing I have left from REAL home. But when I think about it, living with people who love you and care for you, it just seems like a ridiculous fairytale. I lay down in a bed labeled, ”Child 107.Sofie.” My name is Sofia,not sofie! these people don’t bother caring! I clasp my hands together and pray. Then before you know it, I drift off to sleep.

"WAKE UP 107!" snapped Hilga, the mean lady who works at the orphanage. "I’m up!" I say.I moan and rub my eyes.Then a shoot up out of my bed and go eat today’s breakfast: Slop Surprise. I pick at my green goo and slowly eat it, one chunk at a time. Once I finally finish, I go into the room full of labeled beds and write in my diary.
Dear diary, My mom and dad regret sending me here. I know it… Love, sofia.
Then a decide that after curfew. I’m GOING TO FIND my real parents. Once it turned 7:00, I jumped through the window and walked MILES to the collage my Big Sister had always planned of going to, that I remember. And by then its morning.I ask the lady for Ami, and she says the gym. SO i walk to the gym and I ask the coach for Ami.
”Hey ami!” "Do i know you? "its me sofia!" Tears roll in her eyes. "OH GOD!!! HAVE YOU SEEN MOM YET!?" "No. Thats why I’m here." So she takes me to a huge house. She knocks on the door. "Ami, who is this?" a lady asks. "mom, this is Sofia." "oh my gosh!" she hugs me and starts to cry. I finally felt safe and sound. at home.

It seemed so right.

DO YOU LIKE IT!?
DUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i WOULD HAVE SPACED RIGHT BUT YAHOO DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE

As a first draft, It’s really good. Forget what they say about it being terrible. Some rules you need to remember are:
1.) Each time a new speaker has something to say, you skip a line. It helps the spacing.
and
2.) Things felt a bit rushed near the end. Try adding the mystery of figuring out where her sisters dorm is, or tell how Sophia got to the campus on her own.
Other than that, keep writing, and never give up! I know you can do it.
