  1. Depression, Negative Thoughts and Drugs

    in Health and Exercise

    Posted

    Hi Hoosier, I'm another with clinical depression, I've been on medication for years, and have to advise you to let your physician know if one that you try isn't working for you, there are dozens of different anti depressants available.

    In addition to medication I have had counselling and have completed a course of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. There is a website thru which you can have CBT online, free of charge..CBT is very effective at turning your negative thoughts into positives, try it..let us know if you find it helps, but keep up with your current counselling as well.

    Good Luck

  2. Online "dating" etiquette

    in Single Adults

    Posted

    I find internet dating sites awkward too..I didn't used to, when I was drunk most of the time..it's really easy to strike up an 'interesting' conversation with enough alcohol in you, but now that I'm sober I like to say things that I really mean..so I avoid things like MSN/Yahoo messenger services nowadays, and prefer emailing.

    I have had a few emails from men on a couple of LDS dating sites, one was definitely too much..over the top with compliments, urging me to reply quickly and sounding a little off when I didn't respond quickly enough..the others were okay but didn't get beyond the 1st or 2nd email to each other..

    I have a low opinion of myself tho, and find new conversation difficult unless whoever I'm speaking/writing to mentions things that I can really relate to..so perhaps my emails get a little boring :(

    Also, I find it too expensive if there are fees for the dating sites, I have joined some that are free of charge but mostly get replies from men in the USA and I'm not in a position to visit that continent yet! (Is it a continent? lol)

  3. Gay marriage used to pave way for poligamy in canada

    Perhaps by legalising polygamy the problems associated with child abuse may be overcome, as in the marriages would have to be performed only for those people considered 'of age', adults? Maybe it's time for a british kind of marriage to take place, where a registrar is present in order for the government to be aware that those people getting married are of the correct age requirements?

    Great link Elphie, I'm gonna save that site to my favourites..

    I love to read the comments that usually appear following articles such as this, and am finding the comments to this article particularly amusing..trouble is there's tons!!

    Good example:

    STL Mo, zigra - Al Gore invented the internet just for this very purpose. This way we can all get together and ***** about each other. It allows a forum for guys like Bob to tell us we’re all haterz.

    It’s a form of evolution that you’re not taking into account. Instead of being the old fogey who gets mad when your football goes into his yard or being a loudmouth jerk at a game, you can come to the internet and get your ya-ya’s out by calling everyone who disagrees with you a *****.

    I don’t know about you, but instead of being repulsed by all of this, it just draws me in like a kitty skittering across a polished wood floor after a ball of yarn. I get evolutionary reminant goosebumps just thinking about it.' :)

  5. Marriage Acceptance Question for NON-LDS

    in Christian Beliefs Board

    Posted

    I was tring to ask, what state I would be regarded as by the RC church....I am merely a lapsed RC or a heretic for having been rebaptized? I presume I wouldn't have to get rebaptised but have to repent of my 2nd baptism? (Not planing to go back to Rome, just curious)

    I was wondering just the same thing the other day. I was raised and baptised RC and have recently been baptised LDS..

    I wondered if the RCC saw the LDS baptism as invalid, as it also sees non Church marriage as invalid (not sure if that is just non RCC marriages, or whether the same applies to marriages in churches other than RC) therefore you/we are still RC in their eyes, but that perhaps we need to be excommunicated for our actions?

  7. Changing my attitude

    in Advice Board

    Posted

    MorningStar, you took the words right out of my mouth..I was going to suggest she reply, 'Yeah, I may have done, but these shoes make me even taller..', hopefully your mum would get the message about you wearing the heels as well as the comfort of you approving of her comment.

    My daughter is now nearly 20. She has always had an independent streak and is currently trying to decide whether or not now is the time to move out and start her own household, either in a flat or small house, with or without a friend. Sometimes when she talks about her desires, and believe me I would support her in whichever way she went, and still be there for her if she felt the need to return home, she sometimes says things that hurt me, I know she doesn't realise they hurt me and I try not to say anything because I realise the turmoil she's going thru at this age, so as MorningStar also suggested, it may be a little of your hormones/aging process vs independent thought going on..

    Good Luck with your mum/daughter relationship... :)

    I sort of forced a decision on my ex husband, after we'd been together 6 years, we either think about getting married and settling down to start a family, or we break up and pursue other interests/people..the reasoning behind my call for us to do this was, we keep telling each other that we're in love, we talk about having a future together with kids, and, in my case, I was coming up for 23 and due to heart troubles was not advised to give birth to any children after I reached the age of 30, so we didn't have long to hang about thinking about it all. We'd also been engaged 3 years but that was about it..

    We made the decision that we were going to stay together, we found a house, moved in and were married within a few weeks. Ultimately, our marriage did not survive, although we were together 11 more years and had 2 children.

    My reason for telling you this is that I believe that only you and your partner (ex) can really think about how you feel about each other, and whether or not you really want to settle down together. It's good to take advice from others, but they don't know your relationship as intimately as you two do. Your relationship may progress to a successful or unsuccessful marriage, or you may split up and forever regret doing so, so think carefully..if you're missing your partner that much, and still have opportunities to meet to talk about the decision you've already made, then I suggest you start talking..seriously.

    Good Luck :)
