I think i need to eat this to kick my blues away, right?

Hi there Joannamarie, I think we should be friends, your a very positive person and very i dont quite know what the word is but you seem to be a very informative person (sorry am not really that good in your spoken language) anyway I feel like with your advises i can push myself not to waste my time on silly things and be all positive about it may it be hard, unattained goals or just entirely in a depressed moment. You read like a person that pushes another by example how to be in a well spirited mood. I like that. Your cool! Thanks joannamarie089...

Hey there ardoyo, How ya doin, well yeah eating is one way of relieving stress and at the same time you get nourished. Don't know much about the bodies mechanism regarding food and stress but i believe that the brain sends a signal of wanting to eat when in stress so that it will have enough nourishment to think of a solution and also for the body to be prepared for an kind of situation like moving when it has an answer that will require the body some energy.

hi Joannamarie and deodavid, thank you for the concern. i wanted to really think about what you have said but it is hard for me to really absorb it. yeah i have been living with my parents but i am not living life as it should be. i never got the chance to enjoy my childhood because i was physically and emotionally abused ever since i was small. i would go to school with all the bruises, wounds and broken wrist. i just graduated from college now, and i am a registered nurse now because i passed the exam just last year and i am in the process of getting my papers and license done. but i cannot work as a nurse yet because nurses here don't get paid unless you have completed the training and volunteer for several months and so i am planning to get a job as soon as i am done with my papers. a job that pays me for my hard work so i can finally afford my own place and be out of here. i can say i have been through a lot. and it would be selfish of me if i say the only person that makes me happy right now is my boyfriend and well also my nephew. but i think i can't take the blame if i feel that way because i don't feel happiness here at home. my father even wants me to leave my boyfriend, but why? he is not doing anything wrong and we have been together for almost 8 years now. but he is back in the states just 2 weeks ago and the only way we can communicate is through here on the internet. oh and yeah, i also cant make the most of it because i haven't been asking for money from my parents. i took the board exam without them knowing i was filing my papers to take it. i hope you understand what i am going through and i really appreciate all your advice. thank you

Hey there cherrish14, Well i guess i have nothing more to add, joannamarie seems to have gotten it all locked down from where im standing, it is really nice to learn independence very early on in life you become a complete person that way and tends to make you a person prepared for the world. But somethings in life does not need to be forced so soon check your situation picture yourself with a job and bills and alone caring for yourself in reality then think again if it is feasible, if not stay home for a couple of years save some cash for future independence or if you really wish to leave now get a job first, So you have some cash for an apartment or fare and food money before you head on for the journey of independence. Goodluck.

I'm guessing that you're under the age of 18, or may have just turned 18. I know its tough living with your parents, but its really not as bad as you think. Don't rush growing up. If you're 18 and out of high school, then yes I think its time to get a job and learn some responsibility. But otherwise, enjoy being able to have their support. It won't last forever. My senior year of high school I moved out of my mother's house. I worked two jobs and went to school, while living on couches of my friends and having everything I owned in a storage unit. When I turned 18 I was able to get my own place, but I had to pay my own bills and get by without help. I'm 22 now and have been on my own for six years. Its been tough. I had to grow up very fast. I feel like there's a lot about being a carefree youth that I missed out on. I wish I had taken that extra year, maybe two, and lived at home where I belonged. The world is a tough place and it will tear you apart if you're not prepared for it. Cherish what you have now and worry about being a grownup when you have to. Because you only get one chance to be a kid. (I don't mean this to sound like a lecture; I just wish I had this advice when I was younger).

Hey there mrswhitfeild, Me too i dont really know exactly what is the reason for me being down, i just know that i am and i think the closest reason would be my haste in getting results in my plan on changing my ways, you know trying to be a better person. But really, im not quite sure, last night I bought a choco bar and the endorphin jolt really kicked in fast, momentarily the blues went away. Today its back again, but im am more positive so no problemo.
