I'm angry today because.. ok, I'm not angry today and that makes me SOOOO, not angry. I wanted to be part of this thread but I don't have anything to be angry about and THAT MAKES ME SOOOOOO, yeah, not angry. There's a financial lesson I learned a long time ago, even before I accepted Christ, that I've always been blessed with the ability to apply, and I think if you can catch it, anyone can apply it, "Whatever you focus on, expands." Then it meant if you focus on your debt, it gets bigger, if you focus on your wealth, it gets bigger. So if you focus on your anger, it gets bigger. Focus on what brings you joy (if it's legal and moral I guess would be the caution here) and you will experience the release from your negative emotions. Ok, so I'm part of the thread, even though I'm an illegal here, I'm still here!

Someone in my family gave out my address to my Step mum who has ignored me and my family for the past 17 years and she thought it would be a good idea to send a card. Now I know this is the time for forgiveness but unfortunately there are some things in life that can't be forgiven and I am not ready for that step yet. So I hope whoever it was owns up and realises the upset they have caused.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us? (sorry to barge in here)

I can relate too. Years ago I was extremely laid back. People could talk to me about their problems, and my own seemed to not faze me at all; like they just bounced right off. In reality, I was storing it all away, and now I am pretty much full. My family and my faith help me, but I still have issues sometimes. I talked to a professional for a while, and that helped, but when I started feeling better about things I quit going to see her, now I regret it. Sometimes I feel weak and worthless, other times I feel like the king of the world. Much love to all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Oh I can relate - I feel unworthy all the time. I think I'm under spiritual attack at times, and that freaks me out, but it's kind of comforting to know it could be an outside force and not really that I'm unworthy. I am soooo melancholy this time of year.

I am angry today because I feel like no matter how I beg and plead to God to help me to where my knees hurt and I can't get up, nothing ever changes no matter how hard I try. I am angry today because so many ****ty things happened to me and even when I tried to think positive and go on everything came back to me like a kick in the head. Like life is reminding me that I can't have a moments peace ever and I have to get my head out of the clouds and come back to my life. I am angry today because my family tells me to stay with them as long as I want but they don't care how what they do hurts me and how something that happens to me they get angry at me. I am angry today because when I tell my boyfriend about my problems he makes it all about him like feels upset.

Yes I know I need therapy and YES I have done all that I can to change my life I'm not sitting waiting for it to change but I guess I'm not trying hard enough or not praying hard enough. Or maybe in my 21 years of life I did something really bad to deserve all the let downs and discouragement life has to offer.

I'm so sorry you are having such struggles. I know it's just words, but hang tough. The wind always changes.

When at your age I felt at my lowest, I just tried being kind/helpful/useful to someone else. It didn't have to be someone I knew, in fact it was often better when it was a stranger... but it helped, it made me feel better about myself and all that had come before... it also helped me to get outside of my own head.
I know it is a blastardly difficult thing to hear (and accept) but the late teens and early twenties are an awfully self-centered stage and I don't mean that cruelly... at all. It will take for you to get out of this age group to start to feel better and to understand that the world is so much larger than what you have experienced so far... thinking about others really does help us to put our own lives into perspective.
In the mean time, talk to someone you can trust... (but try to do this in person if possible, there is nothing like it for giving and receiving comfort) and also try to do something enjoyable every single day--you don't need finances to do this, trust me on that. :)

Things will get better. (((KR))) :)

Life throws us lots of curve balls. But we must strive to get through them. We all struggle but manage to get through it. We are here with you even if your tuff times.really sorry things are making you so angry.

Here's a little Marilyn Manson funny for you! My daughter was about 3 or 4 when I was into MM, and one day in the car she said "Mom, I want to hear that song The Beautiful Meatballs'". Forever more that's how I sing it in my head.

This need to be a thread HG - i am now singing it in my head, and know i will haunt me now!

Thanks! :facepalm:

Just a little annoyed. More and more, I'm running into roadblocks on websites that are requiring me to have a facebook account to participate in the comment section. Why is this? I don't have a facebook account and honestly, I barely know what facebook is. I love leaving comments on sites like ESPN but I can't now because I don't have a facebook account. I don't know why I should have to have a facebook account to leave a comment.

Do I sound like an old fuddy-duddy?

Nope, and I don't FB either. My local newspaper went this route and I miss being able to post comments for all my friends and neighbors to laugh at. Or bitch about......LOL

You are not an old fuddy-duddy. I do not do FB either. When local newspaper did away with comment section- I resorted to dinosaur age- hand written letter to editor. Technology can be good, but let us not all be placed in the FB pool tank in order to express ourselves.

No, FlJoe you don't sound old. Some companies don't permit their employees to post anything on Facebook, and frankly it can be a big time waster. I like to keep in touch with friends, but don't need to hear all of the nonsensical babble that gets posted in 'emergency alerts'... So and so farted, person b responds to the fart, person c chimes in that she hasn't been able to fart lately, and person d responds that he no longer can fart, causing 'the originator' to post selfies of himself lighting farts and catching britches on fire.... Everyone responding to all ..lol...

I don't like signing up for things (and giving out tons of info) I don't need or use. Why give out more info than I already do?
The sad and scary thing is all our info.is most likely out there already and being monitored. :flat: I've always prided myself on not posting personal information online. Imagine my horror when I discovered my mother-in-law had posted all my vital statistics at Anscestor.com for the whole world to see.
