That is certainly probably a good idea... so I guess I can stop making myself busy and try to buckle down.

Clough- Good to hear from you...

I reverted back to my comfort zone- made myself so busy that I couldn't think about it... I really need to cut that out... but that's easier said than done.

Do most song writers start with music first or lyrics first?

I have a nice 186 page document of lyrics I've written over the past 15 years...

I also have about 10-12 songs I've put together.

Sounds good Clough. I'm on the eastern time zone so I'm certainly looking forward to my 8 am conference call tomorrow morning... haha. However, staying up a little later than normal for some self...

Thank you Clough- I appreciate your extensive attention and assistance. I know there are many other things you could be doing right now... (such as sleep for example- I know its late)

So...

You are making the choices...

Have you ever lost a job where you were employed?
No (fortunately)

Have you ever applied for a job and then not gotten it?
Yes

Do you ever try to read...

Do you know why I broke up with my ex?

I broke up with her because she was a in a 6 year program in school and I was in a 4 year program in school and I didn't think I could handle a long distance...

I mean I'm still not over an ex-girlfriend that I feel I truly loved. I know this sounds foolish, especially since my wife really is just about perfect- nice, caring, great with kids, incredibly...

[QUOTE=Clough;1827043]Now you're beating yourself up. Why? What you say isn't true. I've done it many times myself. You haven't yet commented on the "choises" part I put in an earlier post. It...

Your probably going to laugh at this, but I've never asked anyone on a date either... haha I was always afraid to, so I just got every one to the point where the question was raised "so we're...

Thinking through this just makes me really realize how useless I really am... I really don't have a place, and I can't figure out what's wrong with me that I am unable to be a good friend and a good...

I've told it to two people before... but of course I'm very reserved because I don't handle rejection (or even thje belief of rejection even if it isn't real)

I guess I can go in a little more depth (I modified the post about the marriage if you haven't seen it)

I gave up on the idea of being in love with someone...

I couldn't handle the constant...

I've been married for 2 years now, although I am not sure how much longer it will last. Not sure how much details you want, but we actually get along great- we both just kind of feel like roomates...

Sorry- If I stay on the page it doesn't send me an email to tell me I have a response- I just now figured that out.

I am not living on my own, I have a wife who I am living with.

I'm sorry to hear about the bad things happening, but I am glad to hear you are working through them with supportive friends, and positive thinking. I certainly hope for the best in whatever those...

I echo the appology/comment on the same cynical statement I left with Clough.

Currently moving from upstate NY myself.

as far as characteristics, I'm not quite sure what I should be going...

No, it was from the Google search you sent. Storage facility doesn't open till 9 am tomorrow, so I can't grab mine until it does!

Thanks.

Sorry I don't mean to sound too cynical... and I do appologize for my comment.

I just mean the world is full of dissappointment- like you help a friend and they stab you in the back. You build a...

I want to believe What you say, but its hard to give of yourself when you don't feel there is value in humanity or nature, but I guess it is likely as you suggest, the value is not evident until you...

I would like to thank you for what you have offered, and would like to ask what your take is? What paths are worth exploring- is it worth looking into new counselors? Any suggestions on what...

I have a half decent keyboard.

Yes to all of the above... in fact, I always dreamed of being a musician... haha. I've written poetry and music lyrics for years, even won a few awards for poetry (nothing major, more like school...

Clough,

Presuming your activity is legitimate and legal, I'd certainly be interested in learning more/consider doing it.

Thanks.

I'm a marketing executive for a smaller product/services company, in addition to the consulting work I mentioned prior.

Thinking about life and myself comes to two conclusions, although I am...

Lifes fairly boring at the moment... I work from home most days, and do extra consulting work plus volunteering at the local business incubator just to give me something to do and to work with...

Early on it was tough for me to realize that counselors are just like any other profession- there's going to be great ones, and there's going to be terrible ones, so I'm trying to exercise resiliency...

1 year, 1 year, 6 mo, 3 mo and 1.5 yr spread over since 2001... although the two psychiatrists I saw were sparingly through psych/counselor referrals.

On the verge of giving up- I know, you hear it all the time...

I've seen so many counselors / psychiatrists / psychologists and it all seems useless. I've been down for a good 8-10 years . I got...

All right... Question 1, does she like me (thats the long one- sorry!) question 2, if she might, how to proceed with an Ex?

Here's the uncensored truth.

I left a girl for 4 years even though...

I actually think this is a good thing.

I'm a fairly rich guy, and my big fear when I'm with girls is that they only want me for my money. Because of that I have a strict 50/50 rule when it comes...

Marriage is surprisingly like sex.

If you do it before your ready, you'll regret it for life.
If you do it because your pressured, you'll lose self respect.
If you are consumed by it now it is...

I was in your same situation, except I am a guy, and I am a year younger than you are.

I saw a counselor because I was "unable" to have friends. Same issues you are mentioning!

Today I would...

I have to say...

Does it matter?

I met a girl and became obsessed with her instantly. She became obsessed with me. We hooked up that night- each of us had our "first one night stand".

First off, thank you all- I am really appreciating the time you are taking to read this and give me feedback.

So do you think this is the kind of thing I just need to work on "getting over" over...

I hated my mother when I was 14. 14-18 I told her I hoped she'd die and she ruins my life. I'd make her cry all the time and I really did hate her. In fact I went weeks where I'd completely avoid...

This is tough.

Big brothers big sisters. May not be the type of organization you think would help, but sometimes having another role model in their life is helpful- someone who isn't a parent.

I found similar answers- but typically they were teens. I'm pushing 30.

Does he not know or not care?

My first GF never once had an orgasm. She asked for it and I just didn't know what to do. She was too shy to give me details. I was probably as frusterated as she...

I also wanted to include that I have gone and visited her three times, and we had a blast each time- we did not have any real physical contact though.
