  • My friend is scared for me. It scares me that I've gotten to this point. Long but please read. Help?

    Friends - 7 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I'm depressed, I've been cutting, I hate my self, and I want to die well more of kill myself. I was in one-on-one therapy for a week but I cut myself again and had to go to the ER and they sent me to the Insitute of Living for the night and was there all last Tuesday and had one-on-one therapy on Wednesday. They set me up with group therapy. Yesturday, I had to go in the morning for like don't know how to put this into words but like introduction pretty much. I then had a horrible day at school included with crying a lot a lunch because I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to quit swim team and band (I'm a section leader in band and I worked hard for my position) and my best friend Alex comes over to sit and he says, 'Am I the only one not depressed here' I looked up and told him to shut up and he comes over to my side of the table and hugs me and talks to me about it, trying to make me feel better. So then on the bus, I get a text from my ex friend saying 'I Heard wat happened and i just wanted 2 say im srry' and I asked her who told her and she said Alex and when I asked Alex why he told her he said 'I told nikki cuz im scared for u... I dont want u to get even more messed up... And im bad at talking ppl out of stuff... Nikkis good at it... Terrance says hi.' And it just really freaked me out because a bunch of people are worried about me and I'm used to that but he's my best friend and he's SCARED for me. And this morning going to encore I passed him in the hallway and he asked if I was okay and I turned and shook my head no and he came up and hugged me and I just don't know what to do he's just so close to me that it hurts. And last week we had a friend in the Insitute of Living because she was planning suicide, so I'm pretty sure he also doesn't want me to end up at that point. But, he doesn't know that I know how I would kill my self I only talked about that this morning with Justin. And I haven't told Alex how hard it is just to get through the days now, and I just find everything so pointless, and that I'm just sick of being around. He does know that I wanted to switch schools. And I'm just so scared in myself because I've gotten to the point that he's scared for me. And I just don't know what to do.

  • My ex threatened to files charges against me with my human resources department?

    Marriage & Divorce - 8 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I dated her for 8 months and I broke the relationship up several months ago. She was fine with it and never came after me and didn't make a big deal at all at work. (We work in the same company, but in diff building, so we dont work together). I tried to be friends and would show up to say hi every so often. I'd ask her for lunch, but she declined. She never really reciprocated and once I asked for lunch again...she finally said no and asked for me to stop. She told me she had found emails that I had sent to my ex during the relationsh (true) and had no interest in pursuing any kind of relationship with me. She threatened to go to the human resources department if I insisted. I think i made the situation worse by trying to be nice. Am I missing something?

  • My Mother Is Quite Overbearing And Is A Very Negative Person?

    Family - 10 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I am 26 years old and I have recently moved back with my mother. I am not allowed to go out and socialise with my friends e.g go clubbing, to dinner or to movies after 9pm because my mum is scared that I would get murdered or someone would rape me.My mum also told me that friends who ask you to go socialising with them means that they are a bad influence. That means I wont be going to the two christmas parties I have been invited to. My mum also thinks that if I went on vacations with friends or my boyfriend, they are going to get up trouble like plant drugs in my suitcase. If I tell my mum I am grown up and can take responsiblity, she would say 'If you think like that, then you are going to get yourself into a lot of trouble, social norms are rubbish'. My mum feels that if you dont go out at night or socialise with friends it means you are a very sensible and mature person. I have three brothers and they are allowed to do whatever they like. I am in a process of looking for a job and when I have setlled down, I would save up for a place and move out. But my mum would want me to save and buy a flat, it would take me up to 2.5 years to save up. I can't do that because I am in debt of £7,000. I got a CCJ for getting into £2,000 and I would be focusing on that as soon as I get a job. I have every right to get myself a flat. My mum is 65 years old and thinks she is right all the time. When I tell her she is wrong, she would fight with me. Tony you are chatting crap
