So Sorry for your loss

Quote From: macaronicheese

Well yeah I just wanted to let everyone know I am in really need of support. My grandpa passed away last month so this will be my first year of Christmas without him. So yeah today was a very long day for me at school and very emotional cause I miss him and since it is the holidays. Well yeah that is why. But yeah please give me any support that would be awesome!!!

Hi,  I am so sorry for the loss of your Grandfather. Many people just hide their feelings and shove them so to speak under a rug..I am so glad that you can not only have feelings inside of you and express them, but also to ask for help is, as you say awesome!!  First of all in my opinion I would speak to the people that are closest to you such as you Mom and Dad sisters and brothers a school counsellor. I know there are also grief counsellors that can help you through your grief. I know from my own experience with emotional pain not necessarily grief that if you don't deal with your pain now it will come back later in life in a negative way..such as over drinking alcohol, drugs, maybe overeating  etc.  I wish you all the best

Car crash.

I was wondering if everyone could please pray for me and my 2 friends. One of my friends was driving today like around 12:30 and he was driving on the gravel and the car like swirved and he went to try to correct it or whatever and his car went in the ditch. Me and my 2 friends were all in the car. We all had our seat belts on which was good. But yeah I was suppose to go to the doctor but since I have organ problems and stuff they wanted me to go to the hospital so I had to go to the Emergancy room and yeah my head was hurting but they took a cat scan of my head and brain and it was fine but I had a huge head ache. My organs are okay to. But yeah my friends car and he was the one who was driving and yeah his car span like 3 times or something then it flipped over 4 times but we all got out okay and we all survived. The cop said if we wouldn't of had our seat belts on we would of been dead. He said he didn't expect 3 people to be breathing at the scene when he got there. But yeah we are lucky to be alive tonight and I thank god that  we are all 3 okay!!! Please pray for me and my 2 friends and there families. Today was a very long day but i'm glad god was watching over us tonight. Please comment me.

Stop Babbling

Quote From: tlemdetp

 

thanks for your response.  I do find comfort in it.

I think that being gay/lesbian/bisexual is slowly becoming less stigmatized.  Its a shame that so many people

have to be made to feel guilty for their desires.  No one can control who they are attracted to.  It would help

if the 'straight' people of the world would understand that asking somebody to be 'not gay' is the same

as someone asking them(the straight people) to no longer be attracted to their spouse or lover.

Its simply not something that you can turn on or off.  and it definitely sucks to be attracted to people

who are wrong for you or who belittle you or otherwise don't treat you with respect.  I get very little

respect.  Thats the reason I'm alone.  The saying 'I don't need this' comes to mind.

 

Have a great day, everyone!

 

 

 

Hi Babble,  Hey stop bruding and get on with your life.  You have to make life what it is and you can be HAPPY just stop being so depressed and life your life the way you want to and to HELL with what everyone else thinks.  Keesha   keeshablueeyes@hotmail.com

Whitney my daughter Shanda was in a roll over accident this last summer.  When the car was rolling over she some how "fell" out of the window.  She was sore and tired, but alive..  

God Bless you all, for being spared.
