^I'd prefer not to give you the details, but basically I ended up in hospital and now I have to see a bunch of psychs and stuff. Urgh, I'm just feeling so emotionally fragile right now, and I just wanted a place to vent. I'm sorry, everyone.

I've been there. Possibly not the same situation but from what you've said, fairly similar.

Hope everything gets o.k *hugs* Give the psychs a go, they might just help

Hi,

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this or not but I don’t know where else to post it. I don’t need support but I’m in need of advice

So yeah, I would like to meet new people but I don’t know how I can do that.

It’s not that I don’t like my friends but I’m kind of always around the same people. And also, if I don’t get to know new people I don’t know how I can ever get a boyfriend

And I have quite a few good friends but all separately, if you know what I mean. It’s not like I belong to a group of friends. Like, I get along with my friends but they don’t get along with each other. So when I see them it’s always just me and 1 or maybe 2 other persons. And then I have my friends from high school but they don’t know my friends from uni so we don’t hang out together.

And most of my friends have a boyfriend or girlfriend so I don’t want to be the third wheel. And most of the time when they have some free time they want to spend it with their boyfriend or girlfriend.

And now I want to make some new friends, but it’s not like you can just go to someone and say: “hi, I want to be your friend” And when I go out with my friends it would be weird to go to people you don’t know, right?

And I don’t really have friends that live in my town because most people who live here are elderly or tourists and our town never organises stuff for the younger people. In the village next to mine there are more younger people but I don’t know them.

And I have facebook but I don’t talk much on there, I prefer real life conversations/contact.

So yeah, do you guys know what I should do, or how I can meet new people?

(it’s really not that I don’t like my friends, I do like them, but yeah…)

does the next village organise anything for their young people? if so would you be able to go to one of those events.

Other option is join club or take a hobby where you will meet other people.

Thanks...I randomly feel like crying right about now. All I want is for this year to be over and for the rest of my life to begin.

I went through a rough patch during late 2006. I was diagnosed with a lifelong illness (not serious, but rather annoying), had people gossip about it in school (and I heard EVERYTHING), and my gran died from cancer. The first thing I said on New Years Eve was that 2007 was going to be better for me. I wasn't going to let anything or anyone get in my way. I became a stronger person. I didn't take any crap from anybody. And I think that's what you should aim at. Fight through whatever it is you are going through and try and have a good time. It helped me for the majority of 2007 (until I was back in hospital, but I couldn't do anything about that). And 2008 has been good for me.

I found Art a good thing for me. I was able to vent all my anger and problems onto a page. I think I got a few high grades for them as well.

It's difficult to say "Ok, I'm going to be strong about this and nothing can knock me down" because as soon as you say it, something is bound to happen that will knock you back. But get back up and try again. It's a tough thing to do, but it's very rewarding and you feel heaps better.

I don't know if that helps you, but I hope it does.

I'm beginning to spend far too much time on this board, but somehow just posting always makes me feel better. Anyway, quick recap so you know where i'm coming from: last christmas i got blindsided by two work friends who presented a list of things about me and my work that they had an issue with. Anyway, aside from the fact that i had a s**t christmas things got back on track.

Today however one of my friends was stressed at work and when i called her later to check everything was okay she said it was cause i'd kept interrupting her at work. I didn't realise i had been doing, but it was my first week back last week after four weeks off at home resting my foot, so i'm finding it difficult to stay sitting at my desk, but i didn't think i'd gone round there that much, although i know occassionally i was going for walks to stretch out my leg.

I'm kinda worried cause me interrupting her was one of the issues last time, and i think i'm just worried that it's all gonna happen again and i'm not sure i can go through that again.

I really don't know why I am posting this, I just feel so blahhh about the whole thing. About two weeks, I took a bad pain in my chest, I was diagnosed with Costochronditis (just inflamation between lungs and bone, nothing serious). Anyway I went to hospital and had to wait three hours to be seen, but thats all sorted. (Thats not my problem)

A few days ago I discovered my finger was infected, again this is no big deal. But by this stage my mum was a bit sick of hearing me complain about things.

So here's my real problem:

Ages ago, I found a small lump behind my jaw, where the Lymph nodes are. I didn't worry too much, thought it was just one of those things but lately it has become quite painful, and bigger. I mentioned it to my mum but of course she says I am turning into a hypochondriac, and I see her point, I am always complaining. I am just worried because I have heard so much about Lymphoma and I am sure it's not it but I am just worried. I have looked online and everything but I just can't find anything to put my mind at rest.

^^The only way you can really put your mind at rest is to go and have the lump checked out by a doctor. I can understand you not wanting your mum to complain again but wouldn't you rather be safer than sorry?

Go and see the doctor as soon as possible. I'm sure that the sooner you see someone the sooner you can stop worrying about this. I hope everything goes well.
