That's a good think to know but never practice. Kind of like knowing how to pick a lock.

No problem buddy... we all hit weird rough patches. Usually things end up evening themselves out, hopefully sooner than later.

I'm sorry man that sounds terrible. Sometimes when I feel like I'm losing control, I like to just stop, step out of it all, and reassess the situation and how I got there. It kinda helps me see where I'm going. Seclusion works for me as well.

How'd she break your hand???

Why is it that parents have an overarching tendency to be dismissive towards their children? It's freakin' frustrating.

I'm sorry about that man...

It's always nice to know you're family has got your back.

Sorry guy.

First off, what are you getting your Masters in? Personally, I think that's pretty cool.

Run away? Like Maniac Magee? Maybe you'll learn some important race-relations lessons from it all

I do know what you mean about your family not understanding who you are and your friends not really being there. It's tough when the only thing you can lean on is yourself. Someone on this site gave me a pretty valuable quote that really applies in situations like these (it's what I use): "you are your own best champion."

Basically, just keep plugging along, rely on no one to move your life along for you. I might even go so far as to say don't rely on anyone more than you have to. People tend to disappoint.

Wow. I felt exactly this way a couple of years ago. I can identify with everything you've said. I had a miserable time of things, but I do feel better these days and I feel like I have more meaningful relationships. I don't know if that makes you feel any better.

Anyway, I discovered that people were disappointing me because I was expecting things from them that they just weren't capable of giving. I dropped a lot of people, friends and romantic interests, out of my life because I realized they couldn't give me what I wanted. And I'm still working on accepting that the family I have is not the caring family I wanted or deserved. But I'm much more comfortable with newer people I have in my life, and I'm happier with everything I'm doing.

The most important thing for you to know is this: you have every right to feel frustrated, angry, and sad, and you deserve to feel better.

i'll keep an eye out for ya...

sounds like a fun job!!

have you been hanging out inside my head? cuz i've been running the same train of thought for a couple weeks now...

it does suck... especially when there's no definitive end in sight. it's like wading through thick darkness without a guide rope.

I've been there, for sure.
