    Feeling like no one can help

    I'm certainly not looking for people on the forum to solve my depression, and I'm sorry if I gave that impression. I just have found 'professional' help to be less than helpful, as I mentioned ... and often question whether I can be helped at all ... which I expect other people on the forums...

    Feeling like no one can help

    For the past several years I've had greater and greater depression and anxiety and feel like I'm constantly struggling with the same problems over and over again, never able to find solutions or find a way to successfully function without trying to address them. In November I started to really...

    I really need help

    You've gotten a lot of good advice here, so I'm not sure what I have to say that might contribute, but let me point out one thing I saw ... maybe it will be helpful. As mentioned by others there are a few logical fallacies here, but one thing I didn't see mentioned is that it is common for...

    Inability to form close relationships

    Thank you for the replies. It is good to know that I am not alone in this. As I mentioned, I'm not sure it bothers me. Sometimes I feel like it should, like I'm a bad person because I don't get upset about things like family members dying. Mostly, though, its just a curiosity ... it seems like...

    Inability to form close relationships

    Have you ever watched a television show or movie that features a story about the loss of a friend or loved one and feel baffled by it. I was just watching Grey's Anatomy and on the show a firefighter died and all of the firefighter's co-workers were crying and broken up and super distraught like...

    Do you ever worry people will think you're hitting on them when you're not?

    I've met a small number of people I think I can really trust ... others I can trust as much as our interests overlap ... and then many I just don't really trust at all ... particularly after the past year and half has revealed just how selfish and hateful people can be. I definitely want to...

    Do you ever worry people will think you're hitting on them when you're not?

    Thank you everyone for all these wonderful responses. I really appreciate you guys taking the time and it is nice to know that other people struggle with these things too. I did find it interesting that most people focused on the idea that my concern was that if he thought I was flirting with...

    Do you ever worry people will think you're hitting on them when you're not?

    I had a situation today where I was talking to a friend who has been helping me look for a new job and I really appreciated his help ... most people I know over the past year haven't been helpful at all ... particularly since I've spent the past few weeks fighting with my existing co-workers and...

    “Women aren’t just for relationships.”

    I recognize that some of what I'm about to say might be a little harsh, but I don't necessarily mean it to be. I would like to help you. First, please clarify what this thread is about? When I read the title, "women are for more than relationships" I presumed it was about women being valuable...

    Hi ... I'm scarlet

    I'm in the middle of work at the moment - just taking a break - but I'll look at this later. Is there a specific section you want? I might be able edit the video for you and get you the edited version using google docs or something if you would like.

    Hi ... I'm scarlet

    I wasn't exactly sure what was happening ... It just seemed like there was some level of miscommunication ... and when I encounter that, I tend to go over everything just to make sure there isn't confusion. I wasn't angry or anything either ... although I realize that it can sometimes seem like...

    Adult Diagnosis and re-evaluating everything

    Did your diagnosis change your faith or how you saw your faith ... political views ... etc? Did getting diagnosed make your situation harder? In some ways getting diagnosed has impacted how I see my own faith ... I sometimes wonder if the reason I believe what I believe has to do with the way...

    Struggling with change at work

    We had another meeting about it today and I almost had a melt down in the middle of the meeting. It took everything I had to keep myself from expressing how insanely upset and angry I was. They revealed a new part of the plan today and now they are moving into the realm of doing things I...

    Struggling with change at work

    Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate you taking the time and telling me what you think. For @Judge and @Aspychata's question ... I know what's going on. This company is 25 years old and most of that time we've only had a handful of people. When I started 10 years ago, there was almost...

    Struggling with change at work

    The past few weeks, the company I contract for has been introducing their plan to completely overhaul how we interact with customers and track our work and I've been going crazy over all these changes. I have been largely been left alone for years ... allowed to come up with my own system for...
