MakeorBrake -- thank you for the e-hugs! Candid -- hello again, I hope you are well. One other thing I am doing right now in the midst of everything is preparing for a quite aggressive and non-traditional treatment for the effects of my traumatic brain injury. It's too complicated to go into here, b...

My mother-in-law had a sudden heart attack and died, Her heart just couldn't deal with all the consequences of the brain hemorrhage. Just one more thing sucking the life out of me. She was actually relatively healthy until the medical system got a hold of her. Sorry I have not responded to anyone, I...

Adriana, Wow. I just read your response to my post and honestly, I began to cry. I haven’t done that in ahwile. All the stuff I have gone through has hardened me more than is probably healthy; it has made it tough to feel too much because if I did then I couldn’t function. But your post got to me an...

Candid -- I still can't PM.

Jim1 -- any ideas why I can't PM anyone yet?

And now talk about a self-fulfilling prophesy... I wanted to make 30 posts... and by making this post to say that I have indeed reached 30 posts, then I actually DID reach 30 posts! Positive thinking at its best.

I think nobody is replying to you because your subject line is about math. I teach math for a living so this caught my eye... but most people probably are going to pass. I can't say whether what you are dealing with is a medical issue or not -- only a doctor can do that -- but just FYI, I highly dou...

I get that too, which may well mean you and I feel obliged to keep rushing back and checking on each other when time could be more productively spent elsewhere. Let's make a pact NOT to, huh?

Deal! And in writing that I made my 28th post... two more to go.

Candid -- I will get back to you soon. I am dealing with something pretty intense and I do not think I will be able to write more until the weekend. I know that if I relayed personal things about myself as you did, and then somebody who said they wanted to talk about them suddenly became unavailable...

I'll write back soon -- I'm dealing with yet another life crisis!

I just read over this whole thread and want to throw in my two cents... which will be quick because all I want to say is that everything Richard said above is right on. You are 19 and your parents are way out of line to be telling you how to live your life to this degree. Maybe the relationship with...

Leo Volont -- I think your analysis of your army background coming into play was spot on. And I have no doubt that this is an effective approach for those who are in the army. But a 16 year old who is writing in an online forum is not going to respond the same way as a young man who has chosen to go...

Candid... OMG! I have never heard the term “gaslighting” before but this is EXACTLY what I have experienced. You just taught me something – thank you. I have so much I want to say about this (and other things you posted) but I don’t have time tonight because I am under a deadline for something relat...

To Leo Volont... I agree with bert_ernie’s assessment above and I would like to add a couple of my own comments. First of all, just FYI, I am in my mid-fifties so I do indeed have a fully developed brain. I just wanted to get that out of the way! I am a former college professor and have spent much o...

Thank you, Candid, for your heartfelt response. I too became curious about you from our interaction on the other thread and I read some of your other posts too. It is nice to see someone who speaks from wisdom and experience and has some content to what they say, as compared to quoting trite platitu...

If you think you are alone in having these kinds of crushes, go online and check out the videos of girls at Beatles concerts in the 60's. Or more of my era, girls at David Cassidy concerts. I assure you that you are not alone in your feelings. As Candid correctly pointed out, this is an age related ...
