There will be a lot of comments here that you (or someone in this situation) may see. Some will be negative. But if you read just one comment here, please let it be this: a miscarriage was not your fault. You would have loved your baby unconditionally - whether you held it in your arms or asked someone else to raise it. The fact that you were scared and uncertain just means you are human - a kind, compassionate human. You will make an amazing mother one day. <3

I had a similar experience. I was pregnant and during daytime I was sort of looking forward to it but also had doubts. At night I would sweat with panic about what I had done [got pregnant] and that I really, really wasn't ready nor would I ever be. Despite loving the little thing, I couldn't see myself as a mum, ever. Two days later I found out that I had a molar pregnancy [were the DNA is all messed up, 1 in 3000 chance] and had to have a termination. I didn't feel bad, I was relived and we loved the 'understanding kid' even more. I am now past my menopause and never ever got pregnant again as I really never wanted children. Yet we still talk about 'him' and I am so grateful for setting me free, and hope he got reincarnated to a really child loving couple.

While I agree with everyone here who posted about leaving the toxic friends, let's remind ourselves that it's not always as easy. Life just throws people at you and you have to know how to deal with what you have, this is why we call them "social SKILLS". Maybe it's not so easy to get rid of those people because the situation pushes you together. Maybe those people are not really bad, but for some reason she's having some kind of anxiety, low self-esteem, and is not feeling deserving of their love. Maybe she calls acquaintances as friends, as everyone's concept of "friendship" is different.

Stop doing them favours and they will notice you. They will try to blame you, fight with you to bring you back (down) - don't listen to them! Instead focus on yourself, listen to your heart, do what YOU want and not what expected of you BY THEM. Find people in your life, who value you, not what you might give them. And stop blaming yourself, it's ok to make mistakes (it's not ok to judge, btw, which those people do; and also be sure, they make a lot of mistakes themself it's just they don't let you judge them I'm guessing). Be strong, begin to love and value yourself no matter how different of "not normal" you are. If you will struggle to recover yourself, seek professional help, talk to a psychologist. I've been in your shoes (far too long, unfortunately), now I'm recovering very slowly and working on all my problems and trying to raise my self-esteem. People like you and I are very emotional, compassionate, sacrificial. That's the qualities most people around us lacking. Best wishes.

This is how I feel at work. I went from being a graphic designer to being a receptionist. Due to circumstances I HAD to move out of the city to a small town and I'm slowly dying inside. I sit alone with no one around and the only time I have human interaction is when someone comes to me with s****y orders. To do the s****y admin they don't want to do themselves, because it's s****y. I hate my job, but with it being a small town, there isn't really many work opportunities. I was told to consider myself lucky to have gotten this "great" job in the first place. I used to feel so accomplished creating art. Now I'm invisible until someone needs something done which they don't want to do themselves.

My mom died from complications of rheumatoid arthritis. The biggies were congestive heart failure and severe emphysema. She had trouble remembering things due to not enough oxygen getting to her brain her last few months. I was hugely pregnant with 2nd son and last few times saw her she didn't remember I was pregnant. After watching her deteriorate so badly, couldn't stand to watch my dad have a lot of the same problems from CHF ten yrs later. So didn't go see him as often as should have. When he died, hadn't seen him for 3 wks. I know he loved me. He knew I loved him. Two days after he died, I realized why hadn't visited him. It still hurt but I felt better knowing why. I am sure Grma knew how much you loved her. Life means things happen unexpectedly. Forgive yourself and remember herr love and good times with her.

I can relate but not because of being lazy. My family and I live away from my grandmother and we were planning on visiting her in a week or so, the day we were looking at flights to book the trip, we got a call that she had passed away (just happened this past weekend on the 20th). I am sorry to hear of this person's loss and I too feel guilty we couldn't see my grandmother again before she left us, but we love her very much and she is very much so missed. I also regret not spending proper time with her when she was around when I was a teenager. People please make sure you teach your children to not take their grandparents for granted if they are fortunate enough to have them around regularly. RIP Nanima. I love you!!

She became very self-conscious and would follow me around to watch what I ate, and try to emulate me.

This made me smile. The amount of times I've had to do this very thing! Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. If it is any consolation - the poverty and struggle makes you stronger. It makes you appreciate everything you work for. I now live in a country where the people around me couldn't possibly understand the conditions I've often had to live in. Sometimes they seem unbearably spoilt and soft to me, but then I remind myself they just haven't had the same 'education' I've had. Then I appreciate even more that my son will never have to have that 'education' either.

Aren't imperfections around us are perfect in themselfes? ;-) Embrace your life, yourself and remember: "perfection" is just imaginary and different for everybody. You might think you are not perfect, but for me you may be perfect in every way. Or things you rate as perfect around you might be "not enough" for me. It's just the point of view, listen to your heart and accept your point of view not as the only one "right" way of looking at life, but as one of many different views, good and bad, right and wrong.

If you accidentally hurt someone then own up to it and don't run away with the excuse that you love to hurt people. Don't accept your mistakes as who you are- they will become much worse and actually become who you are. Be strong!

The feeling I get after I've been awful to my naughty dog, Argo. He's an ambitious adolescent dog and I love him so much but my relatives say I'm a terrible owner. I was too harsh with him two days ago when he pulled his lead (he's smart and knows it's strictly forbidden) so hard that he nearly knocked me off. I pulled him impulsively back several times so hard that he was also nearly knocked off despite being with a harness, in order to teach him a good lesson. I felt so bad afterwards, I petted him for a few minutes before going to bed and I gave him a large treat as a peace offering but he didn't seem offended anyway! He's my first dog and I'm rather short-tempered teenager, I don't know how are we going to survive the next six months until he turns one year and grows up to be more obedient. I just hope he teaches me how to be a good owner, I'm obsessed with dogs and I need to know how to be nice with them!
Sarah White 8 years ago
Just work out what punishments and rewards work with your dog! And never do anything that makes them limp/whimper because that is a sign that they are genuinely hurt and you are abusing them. Just a light snack on the back/top of the head should teach them. Positive enforcement is also good!!! Give them treats when they do the right thing. Never let your anger fly off the handle. A harness is a good choice though! They are so much more comfortable than collars for dogs.

Thanks but, I am sure she/he knows. That's why they keep it secret.

C'mon start living by your means. These peeps only judge you, they can't make or break you.

U know, people despise rich people too. You're just trading in one hate for another. Don't bother.

Ditch the false image, sell the pieces you don't absolutely need, and start budgeting your hard-earned money! You might find that they respect you more for controlling your spending.

You don't need to impress anyone. The people who truly loves you will continue to love you even without all those expensive stuff.

Wow this is me. Funny thing is I don't even wear have the things I bought....I mainly shopped as coping for my depression. Definitely wasn't worth it. I thought I learned my lesson until my cousin kept talking about getting designer brands and I felt so bad I couldn't get them.

Please, just stop it. Things will get to own you. And then, you're doomed.

I got my drivers license but don't drive because of anxiety. It might just be better to not have your license. ;-)

Neither can I and I am 38, it is a running joke as I am the only one left. I just say it is because I am destined to be rich and have a driver! Joke about it yourself, lighten up, it is no big deal!!

Isn't it so ironic that the least guilty are more often likely to blame themselves for others terrible behavior. So sad. :(

I vote creepy and sad. Unless it's just a temporary phase.

You can be infatuated with someone you don't have a relationship with, but love requires reality. Remember that you see only a few facets of the singer; their real personality is unknown to you. Don't let this infatuation get bigger than a crush, or get help so that you can have a REAL love.

So quit being an a*s and see someone about your issues. People don't deserve being treated like that.

Honestly, do something about this... You'll feel better. And people around you too.

True life at its finest, everyone has their own demons and dealing with the Devil, we are all in the same game just different levels.

This is just SO WRONG!! Just because you are unsure about your own feelings, that does NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT to PLAY with other peoples feelings. When you do this, does it make you feel superior or happier?? Does it help you figure out you're feelings?? When you hurt other people, does that make your life any better?? Why do you want to HURT OTHER PEOPLE?? What did they ever do to you?? People don't deserve to be treated like that!!! You need to get some help...like right now. I, myself, have found a wonderful psychiatrist. It took a while to find someone who I actually trusted, but I am thankful every day that I have him. He actually listens, he doesn't use me as a guinea pig. Years ago he diagnosed me with a lot of things...I am bi-polar, which means I can go from deep depression to manic episodes in a heartbeat. I have OCD and PTSD, Paranoia, and I used to be a bit psychotic. But with the help of my Doctor and the meds he put me on, I have finally regained most of my old self.

Sometimes it's helpful to tell someone what you're going through even without trying to get help. I really hope these people overcome this.

@Hayley Lightcap Hey Hayley, this is a bit off-topic.... but I saw your comments in all the transgender-posts. You have a very good, informed stance on the topic. Spreading good information about transgender issues is something that is very important to me. I'd like to work together with someone to make the overal comment section on those posts better. If this is something you find interesting you can contact me via the info in my profile. (Sorry if this is awkward, but I saw you post often and thought I can give it a shot :O.)

Some of those are heart breaking, others make me feel warm inside... Or both two feelings at once! People are so complicated and it's amazing what you can find inside an average human being's mind.

I barely glanced at the illustrations. The words were very powerful, and looking at cartoons of people's backs didn't add anything to the experience.
