sympathy.

[be_happy]

this thread is so people can tell about something bad that happened to them and get all the sympathy and kindness they need. They can be really important like your parents are getting divorced or small problems like the fact that more and more people get on the last post game every day.

[Lookintoforever]

[darkestlight88]

um, i have a lot going on too, so i'll make it as short as i can...

my mom married some idiot in WA state and a year or two later, she asked for a divorce. he never gave her one and everytime my mom tried to pay it off er w/e, he payed more money. so by the time i was 2, she met my step-dad, but i never use the "step". he's like, THE best dad you could ever have. so, the Law ordered my mom to share custody w/ my birth father, but he was a jerk. no matter how hard my mom tried to gain custody over my brother and i, the judge always said no. so, 8 years later, we moved to NV and ive been living here for a few years now. up until recently, my mom went to PA for a job thing and we were all to move out there. but, we found out my mom had a new boyfriend there. so, dad's moving out and could never have custody over my brother and i uless my mom gave us to him, which she wont so i have to wait till im 18 (3 years to go) until i can move out of her house and into daddy's. my mom still cant marry because legally, she's still married. we dont know at all where my birth father is, so she can never marry again. i deal w/ depression too, but not the worst of situations, i could care less if i died tomorrow ya know? my life is not important to me at all. now, ive never commited suiced, and i dont intend on doing so, but i do not care at all if i did die. my family is not what you would call "rich" so we survive on food we can afford, mainly not the healthiest of foods, but it works. i have somewhere around 1-2 meals a day because i wake up in the middle of the afternoon, like, somewhere around 2 PM, like just now. i eat a lot of junk food, but somehow, im not fat in the least. lol! but, yeah, my life aint goin so hot, but i make do w/ it. im going to go to college, marry well, become a filmmaker (woot! skandar, here i come!!!) and possibley have children, then die. im all set for the future. lol! well, i hope you enjoyed my pathetic life story. :rolleyes: but, at the moment, im doing well. but im praying for all of you guys here!

Oh, goodness! It looks like you have a lot of stress that no one your age should have to go through! I will definately keep you in my prayers. I have an idea of how hard it must be to live with Anorexia- I did a posterboard on it once- and I can imagine what you're going through.

God Bless! :)

Please don't say that your life is not important! I know that God has a very special plan for your future. I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with stressful issues. Continue to pray, as I will for you! I'm sure there are TONS of people that love and care about you (including here, on the Dancing Lawn).

God Bless! :)

I don't really like the vibe of this thread. But there is nothing bad about it, just go along with it. I have had all the sympathy I deserve, sympathy has got me nowhere anyway.

Oh my goodness! Eating disorders, depression... I'll definately keep everybody here in my prayers.

Okay well, this isn't really a lot or even really important compared with other people's posts here but...

Nearly my whole life I have lived in the shadow of my older sister... it's been hard because she can't help it and it has been hard on our relationship... we are mending things so it is getting a tad better, I'm starting to have a better realtionship withh all my family members that I was having a hard time with and when I FINALLY get to jump out of the shadows by taking more voice lessons and working on MY pations as a vocalist I get accepted to this GREAT camp! All good right? Well, yeah if I didn't have $1700 dollars to earn in a VERY limited amount of time. I haven't turned down a job yet and I feel all stressed as I babysat nearly ever night last week and I am struggling in school, (Especially in Biology and Algebra) I am having these issues with guys I DON'T like that like me and then the one guy I THINK I like and I'm a PK in a new church that is really... I don't know it's just hard, and I struggle with my weight and a few insecurities and I... I guess I'm just really stressed right now... I get worried about my brothers. One is in the Navy and another still suffers from the long term effects of Chemo and Radiation theropy...
Okay I'm done... wow, that felt good to get all that out... it's like I can breathe again... maybe... just maybe it's not all that bad when I give it some thought... hmm... okay I'm going to stop babbling now.

[Lady Larien]

ok hi people i guess i am gonna post what i am going throughit is very long but i will try and make it short oh i have quite a few things i am going through but i will only post the most horrible

ok i was trying to explain to my friend what it is like being saved and just all of that stuff about being a christian and i told her that i am trying to help her and i am doing what God wants me to and all she said to that is "i don't need any help. nothing is wrong with me" so we got into this really big argument oh and we were at her dad's house well when my mum came to pick me up i told her that we would talk another time somewhere that i was more comfortable so on my way home my friend's dad's girlfriend called and asked to talk to me and then started going off on me saying that i am gonna go to hell cause i said that my friend was gonna go there but the thing is i never said that then my mum got on the phone with her and started going off on here i think my mum wanted to say some much worse words then what she did say ok so when we got home she talked to me and stuff then she called my friend's mum and they talked about it and all of that stuff now it has been a week and my mum called my friend's mum yesterday to see if my friend was ok and that is all that has happened since then well except me being all kinds of sad and depressed i also am writing her a long e-mail oh and just another thing that i am going through is that i am over weight and everytime i try and go on a diet it just gets ruined the next day cause my whole entire family is over weight so of course there is tons of junk food in the kitchen and it is like it is yelling at me to EAT IT!!!!!!!! but i know i shouldn't eat it but lately after i eat like cake and cookies i just feel like throwing up and i am scared cause it seems like everytime i eat i just want to throw up whatever i just ate and that is from what i heard a sign of anorexia and i can't get anorexia cause that is something i said i would never do cause i am not that stupid and my friend being like perfect doesn't help cause she can wear all of those awesome clothes and limited too that i have longed to wear but i can't so i just really need someone to talk to and i would like to talk to Sofia but she is always away on AIM and i really don't know anybody else i can talk to so i just really need some help and i am really scared to talk about it to my mum and i can't talk about it to my friend one reason because we aren't talking at the moment and another eason is that she says that i am not fat and i am and i know i am but i used to be fine with being over weight but now that i am getting older it has became worse and worse everyday and i have found out that i have to have a real problem well i keep talking on and on but it kinda feels good to let all of this out but if only by telling people it would go away

[Lookintoforever]

hmmm...pray. thats what you need to do...and about your friend sometimes people won't be receptive to you just telling them strait out-"you need Jesus." sometime the only way to witness to someone is to be an example and just show them Jesus by the way you live your life...all you can do is love them and pray for them..and be their friend.

[be_happy]

wow, i guess it just goes to show how many people could have worse issues than u and there's always someone to include in your prayers. i thought my problems were big.

A peice of advice to you all:

Non-christians tend not to like it when people try to convert them.

My story about that:

In seventh grade, we had a religion unit. We did everything, right? And while we were doing this, we took a tally. I was the only Agnostic/Atheist (because of my parents) in my class. After that day, I got pestered every day with "You're going to go to He** cause you don't believe in God." and questions as well. Things like "Do you worship Satan or something?" and all these hurtful questions. I also had people from my classes try to CONVERT me. That is just.. rude. Please don't do that to people. You might want us all to see the light you see, and there are cases where people can be converted, but it tends to get annoying and just plain wrong to us. Since then I have changed a lot and am now agnostic above all else, and Jewish and Roman Catholic by family.

And your thoughts on other things:

Sofi left for a clinic type thing earlier, and since I have never experienced that, I do not know what to do. For your friend though, I suggest you tell her sorry (even if you don't mean it) and that should help some things.

[WillsGirl]

Okay right now I just HAVE to vent!

My stomach has been bothering me ALL week and it's hurting right now, and I want to go driving with my mom, and I'm super pissed at this girl because I asked everyone to pray for a friend of mine who has been in the ICU since Tuesday and she claimed that one of her friends knows this friend of mine and said she wasn't a christian and that she wasn't letting God comfort her! She doesn't even know this girl and I DO, I KNOW she's a Christian!
She went WAY over the line and totally upset me to the point that I sent a livid e-mail to her and my mom and my mom sent that and a message to this girl's mom!
Peaopl in my church are so self righteous and self centered and there are jerks EVERYWHERE and I just seem to attract them and... I feel so fat and ugly all the time and stupid when I'm in school and I just want a break!

whew! That felt good. I feel so much better now! I love this thread!

[~Rogue~]

I'm gonna move this thread to another forum where it is more suitable.

Oh, Willsgirl...*hugs* Your not fat and your not ugly for one thing, :) and for another thing, life throws things at you that arent fun, you just have to work with it and know that it will get better.

I'm praying for ya, hon. :o

Okay, is it my turn now? :rolleyes:

Well...lets see...

I had a VERY VERY bad summer a couple years ago. My best friend started going out with my cousin...and I really didn't like it, but, I didn't want to tell her that, because I didn't want to make her mad. So, I fought through it...getting more hurt and depressed everyday it occured. Then when my cousin went back to hawaii where he lived at the time, he cheated on her and stuff and they broke up. Of course, I had to take my friends side, and I didn't talk to my cousin for 3 months. My friend used me to get to him all the time, and I did all I could to just take it. Not knowing that it was just, killing me inside. They did alot of stuff together too, alot of bad stuff. Then she got involved with this drug addict, and it just spiraled. She understands more of what she did and how wrong it was now, but I feel it's always going to scar me inside.
During this time period, I also turned to alcohol ( I'm only 14...this happened when I was 12-13) I'd drink in secret, and hide it from my parents... I'd never drink enough to get drunk, of course, but it still happened. I was in a severe bout of depression as well, not wanting to do anything with anyone, and hiding everything from my friends and family. I had, almost a mask that I'd wear. In school, my friends assumed I was perfectly fine, and they had no reason to believe otherwise. My friend Ruthie suspected something, but she didn't know half as much as she should have. On New Years eve of that year, I'll never forget. My parents we're gone, and i was baby-sitting my little brother and his friend. I had a bottle of smirnoff Ice, and I drank it all. Then I had this, realization. What was I doing? How could i do this to myself? I threw the bottle away from me, and was so disgusted with myself. I couldn't believe what I was doing, I was just, completely out of it. I vowed that night to never drink anything like that again, which I have been trying to keep since then. That same night, after I made my vow, I went upstairs where my brother and his friend was and wrestled them. I let them beat me up. I let them win every time, kicking me, punching me, scratching me. i deserved it, I needed it. The temptations to drink lately are very strong...more so then I ever would want. But I always remember that night and get so disgusted with myself that it steers me clear. However I can't know how long it will work...and I pray every night that I will never do it again.
That was also the year my friend Kyle died...he was in a car accident, and I didn't even know until a week after his funeral. We weren't 'best' friends, but we hung out, and talked. He got picked on alot, and I always would try to hang out with him if he needed somebody. He was 12, and he had a twin, Kody. His brother still goes to my school, and they were identical twins, so everytime I see Kody, I remember Kyle.
Same year my grandmother died.
A couple months ago, We we're on the freeway, and this car was on the side of the road, with police cars around it. well, being the brown nosers that we all are, my mom slowed down and we looked to see what happened. There was a man, slumped in the front seat with blood everywhere. He was shot in the head. My mom didn't see it, only I did. And it should have scared me, but it didn't. I, I don't know how to explain it...but If I we're to die right now...I don't think I would care. I almost, expect myself to die...I don't know why...I get good grades...I play sports very well...I have alot of friends but I have this ever lingering feeling like I'm supposed to die...

Now that I look at what I posted, I am scaring myself... :(

[Danielsky]

I'll pray you for all of you...just try not to think about death...you are yong and you have all your life ahead. I'm sure that everyone has a task given by God.

Just Tolkien says "all you have to decide is what to do with the time is given to you". And remember also Eowyn's loneliness...and what Faramir says. "This shadow will not last long". I know it's very difficult to overcome certain terrible moments but we have to try, and we know that we are not alone.

If we do anything wrong we have in every moment the oppotunity to be forgiven...we "only" have to recognise our mistakes and ask for God's help.

So, i know it's difficult, let's try to think that we have a life ahed and that is is a great adventure that's given to us...and try to help one another! :)
