Hey everybody: I just wanted to let you all know. We all have issues. We all have needs, but it would be *ss backwards to constantly be thinking of what someone is going to think of you. If you have something to say to someone say it. Let your feelings out. Be brave don't settle. Give yourself permission to try to be happy. If want you want does not work out or the person you love does not love you....MOVE ON! Life is to short to be f*cked up about things or people are not good for you. Be safe. Don't do harm to others or yourselves. Everything is going to be okay in the end. Have Faith:)

If it was as easy as "just do it" -- don't you think we would?
For thousands of years people have self medicated (opiums, peyote), formed support groups, ranted, chanted and raged against their troubles and obsessions. People have been committing suicide for this long as well.
The evidence that human beings need help and support to get through hard times seems apparent. Why is it that getting support, in any form, is considered worse than pushing yourself to "just do it?"

If it was all that easy, I don't think this board would exist.

I’m guessing wildly that you have been through some tough times. And if that’s the case, I’m glad you’re giving yourself permission to try to be happy and to move on.I suppose I’m not quite in a position yet to accept that a person I love doesn’t love me. I’d like to move on, but it seems to be taking more time than I ever thought possible. I expect that everything is going to be OK in the end, but really having faith… that’s the hard part!
I’m glad, though, that you’re feeling optimistic.

Well, I think I just found my bootstraps! I'll give them a good yank and see what happens.:-)

Yeah, come to think of it, I've tried that method lately.
Results: they both broke off in my hand, throwing me off balance, I fell down and still haven't gotten even close to getting all the way back up.
And I like myself less than before I grabbed ahold of the darn things.
Ain't gonna work - for me.
