  3. And then the dreaded car shopping started. Thought the last time I did this was rough now I have to have someone else test drive everything for me... Alwell getting a new car seems pretty awesome even though I'm sad mine is gone.

      so I guess there's a good feeling even though there's also a sadness that the old car is gone. That's amazing, to see different parts  and allowing yourself to feel happy about the good part!

  4. Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.

  7. Do not let the memories of your past limit the potential of your future. There are no limits to what you can achieve on your journey through life, except in your mind.

      I really needed to hear this right now. I've been considering just dropping everything and living out of my car or I don't even know what. Life is just crazy right now and I can't really see what is in the future or if there even is one for me. You know? Thank you.

      sometimes I wish I could run but i'm paralyzed

  9. Guess I am going to make this a public announcement as well.  It is with a heavy heart I have decided to step down from NST/ AS staff to focus on my personal life.  I will still be here on AS and available to listen to anyone should you need a shoulder to cry on, I just need to step down and do some other things at this time.  I want to support and encourage anyone that would like to step up and help out here at AS, to volunteer and do so. It has been an incredible journey. This was a very difficult thing to do. Big warm hugs, and warm wishes to all.

  10. Healing comes in waves and maybe today the waves hit the rocks. And that's ok thats ok, Darling.

    Your still healing, your still healing.

    ~Ljeoma Umebinyuo, be gentle with yourself~

  11. Healing is a slow process but quitting won t speed it up any.

  14. I don't know where to go

    I don't know what to feel

    I don't know what to do

    I don't know who I am

    I am just that scared sometimes.

      Hi, I know how hard it is to be in that place. You are brave to share your feeling. And also to continue therapy even when you don't see the light at the end. You're not alone. We're all here hoping for you that you will get better. 

    4. BraveOne

      @robynpi thanks for understanding

      @elisand thanks for dropping by. Just had an eerie thought that you wpuld have had to be in therapy with me yesterday to know that about the light at the end of the tunnel not being there yet but then again I'm sure some of my other post lately may have lead to that too not real sure. Apperciate the support and everything

  15. I may not be having a good day but I'm learning that if I stand up to the fear and dread of doing things I usually enjoy myself and find there was nothing to be scared of. I am stronger then I believe I am

  17. I will breathe

    I will figure my problems out

    I will not let my worries trouble me

    I will not let my stress break me

    I will just breathe and it will be ok cause I don't quit.

  18. I will remember and recover,

    Not forgive and forget

      Wow that is truly gorgeous, love the pictures. 

  23. It’s official I got accepted got all my stuff in for school now to figure out how to pay for everything. Support and advise would be greatly appreciated.

      Congratulations!!!  :throb:

      I'm in the same boat.  I just filled out my FAFSA this afternoon.  It's never too early to do that if you haven't already.  Also, look into state grants and other means of getting some financial assistance. :)  Sometimes they want you to have filled out your FAFSA first, so that's a good place to start.  Wishing you all the luck in the world on your collegiate journey!

      Yay congrats! 

      I echo what Capulet said.  You also may be able to find some small scholarships online.  If your school has a financial aide person, you can also try talking to them; they may have some information on how to get additional funding. 

    3. MeBeMary

      MeBeMary

      You got some good advice above, so all I have to say is... :yahoo: 

  24. Its not selfish to love and take care of yourself and to make your happiness a priority, its a necessity
