Open Question: Is it ever a good idea to sever ties with your family?

Long story short, I unintentionally started a big battle in my family, and they are now every against me. My aunt told me something that was apparently in confidence {though she never said that to me}, and I told my mom because I was concerned. Like I said, this guide to a battle in my family, with my mom on my side and everyone hating me for it. The relax of my family members are saying I have ruined the family and that they wish I move away and never return. Right now, I'm feeling the same way. Should I just pack up and go, severing every ties with my family?

Open Question: Voldermort dream help? can zia lucia/ anyother great interpritator answer?

Voldermort dream interpritataion? hello, i have just woke from a really odd dream: The school (I don't know why I dreamed of this school, coz I have just left there to go to secondary) was below attack by dark forces (death eaters). the schools yr6 pupils were split into groups: the death eaters (the controlled ones who didn't know what they were doing) the free will death eaters (the ones that knew what they were doing) the ones that will stay to battle (me included) the ones that would escape and run away I was part of the ones that wanted to battle. about 200 people were in the terrapin which was our base. I was heart broken to look my crush in a black uniform with red trimmings (uncontrolled death eaters). I started sobbing because he killed a person I didn't know without mercy (he had a wand). we every went to attack, but Voldermort appeared and some people collapsed on the grass or the pavement. I was one of them. I remember falling on my wand, which was black, long with little ridges. be for the blackness took over, I passed out some weapons to my ex-bff who I fell out with years ago and have never talked to in a few years. i regret that now because she went to a diffrent secondry school and I wont look her again. she smiled at me when I gave her the stuff.when I woke up voldermorts white face and red eyes were over me. by then, I was so scared. he always scares me in my dreams because its almost inpossible for someone to be thta bad, but in my dreams, it intensifies. I looked around, and every of the people that had collapsed had gone hours ago. Voldermort explained that I was imperiused (controlled) to stay in my collapsed state. then he said: Voldermort: 'so, Krista... will you join forces with me?' me: Not In a Million Years! voldermort: very well... now bow to me' he flicked his wand and I didn't bow voldermort: BOW!' I felt myself bowing and it was suffocating; I couldn't breathe he did it a few times and was laughing at my pain and humiliation, his friends appeared from my school. It appeared my crush (James Humpleman not James Potter) was below the impearius curse, but he was fighting it. he looked at me with wide, sorry eyes, then his face went blank. there were these metal poles in a half moon shape. voldermort: touch them' he was holding his wand and i was holding mine. i slipped mine down my robes. I touched the poles. it was horrific, like an 1billion volt electric shock. every the death eaters started laughing except James. he made me do it again and again until I almost collapsed again. James broke through the curse and tried to help me up; Voldermort flicked his wand half way and when james grabbed me by the tops of the arms, he got me half way then threw me on the ground again. I got up. voldermort strapped me to the half moon poles using a Blue light, and it was like a magnet. It hurt so much at first, but the pain died down. voldermort was talking about killing me. he brought out a brown chicken and said it layed eggs with blood. it was horrible! then he said 'You have been good to me, James, but I have no use for you anymore...' and pulled out his wand and pointed it at me. then James ran forward and grabbed hold of Voldermorts arm and begged to kill him instead. the death eaters laughed. he pulled his wand out again. I broke free of the blue light and ran towards him. he fired and I jumped in front of James so that he wouldn't receive hit. I died/ or collapsed what did this mean? please tell me! krikky

Open Question: why don't they just leave me alone?

my mom, my older sister, little brother, and upstairs neighbor are always ganging up on me. my mom's been threatening to send me to a group home, and my older sister is always trying to find a way to receive me in trouble so she can speed up the process. my neighbor (who is friends with my sister) is helping her out and, this is nice of unrelated, for some reason has a key to our home. my little brother just annoys me the majority of the time and when i crack and yell at him to cease my mom is always there to chastise me for it. it seems like for every one thing shes ever done for me, she's gained 5 things to demoralize me about, and like she and my sister are always trying to battle me (her: mentally, verbally and physically. my sister verbally and physically). i also have the back-breaking stress of summer homework and on top of every that my birthday is in 3 days. why can't everyone just receive off my back and cease dick-riding me every the time? i try my best at everything i do but it never seems good enough. my whole family thinks i'm an ungrateful little bitch because that's basically what my moms been spreading around every time we have an argument (she runs and tells the whole family how she 'stuck it to the man' -.-) why can't they just live there possess lives and cease finding enjoyment in trying to kill mine? when will this end? how long will this last until they find a new toy to play with?

Open Question: I don't want to have any friends?

Ok, recently, I got into a argument with a so called "bff" and now we are no longer friends. Then I look at my other friends and I think from time to time how much they annoy me too. Also I think because I'm not friends with the so called "bff" anymore they'll treat me differently and I don't have time for that. My other pal is in adore with me and wants to be with me, but I don't want a boyfriend and he annoys me too. And this so called "bff" pushes everyone away. She pushed 3 people away and one of her so called "bffs" always battle. Its so stupid and she's so fake. Have you ever just wanted to be a loner? Not have any friends? Think its just too stressful? That's how I'm feeling at the moment and its like I don't give a fuck anymore, no sympathy at every. Advice?

Open Question: To finally be somebody? (long but please help. realism not idealism please)?

I have been thinking of changing my image forever. I am 17 and most girls I know, know me as a "sweet, good, nice guy". My best pal is what you can call a "bad ***". When we are together, we are both equally "bad ***" in what we do, but I tend to care a lot more for girls. I tend to be mysterious in my thought and actions, when my pal is both mysterious and honestly a "jerk". I would hear to a girls problems and help out, or give support. He wouldn't do anything like that. He seems to receive more "attention" though. I want some adore also. Now there is a girl ( my close pal) I adore,and I don't know what she thinks about me back. She isn't "popular" and has the same ring of friends I do. She wrote in my bday card, " I can't believe someone like me ever met someone like you". But according to my pal, That's just a trick for me to be a cushion to the girl for her problems and that she would use me and never look at me the way I want her to. I trust him because he has always been "successful" with girls. I was the straightedge, silly, "ok looking" , bad dancer, caring guy with good grades and he was the good-looking, party animal, good dancer, drinking,smoking doing drugs , treating girls badly, and failing classes. I wanted to be liked. I went to my pal for help. He grinned and promised to help me out with the girl I like. He said girls only like "badasses" and that to be loved we have to become one. His idea was that girls only like nice guys when they have had every their fun with 50 "badasses" and are no longer young and want to use the nice guy for financial security, not adore. He said " You don't want that do you? You actually want to be somebody right?". His explanations made so much sense to me. He helped me lose about 60 pounds, gaina 4 pack (working on six), learn how to battle, and started to treat girls terribly and lost my "straightedgeness" with drugs and alcohol. We would stay up til 3-4 am doing exercises and drilling exercises such where he retaught me etiquette toward girls . Many of the girls I used to be friends with missed me because I wasn't there to be the pal that I used to be. He said that he would be right and he was . Girls I never knew before started to like me. I felt bad for losing my morals and my identity, but I finally had the thing I wanted the most, some actual affection. Will doing every this stuff be better than me being the "good" guy that I used to be? I want dates,adore, and relationships now, I don't have the patience to wait until 15 years tardy, and be , according to my pal, "used" as a "financial scratchpost" and an "accessory" I have never had confidence in who I was. It seems like no girl likes me, and I never thought of myself as a "man". The girl who made me that card, I told her she is the most beautiful girl in the world and she was shocked. (she said her parents didn't even think that). I helped her out when she was unhappy and everything just because that's what i usually do, but I started to like her even more. I gave her compliments because she also has low -self esteem.My pal made it seem like "I am not good enough for any girl," so i started to say that every morning when i got up. When i fail at something, I beat myself up and have done that every day of my life because my pal (through his success with girls) showed me that I ain't worth s***

Open Question: Could Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos be competitive against men at 145?

K.J. Noons seems to believe she can. "I believe (male vs. female fights) wouldn't be that competitive, but every now and then there is a special athletic lady that can compete with men in fighting," said Noons. "I believe Cris is one of them. Can she be competitive if she fought in the WEC? Yes, she could. Would she be champ? If I knew the answer to that, I'd be a billionaire and I wouldn't be fighting." Noons said he's caught Santos getting the better of more than a few training partners during sparring and grappling drills around the gym. "When I look her battle other guys, she's usually beating them up or manhandling them," he said. "When I spar with her, we're just working; I'm giving her work. When she goes full speed on me, she definitely has the power of a man. She throws like a 145-pound man." Would that be the only way she gets challenged in a battle?

Open Question: In your opinion, is he done with me or do I just need to give him space?

So your opinion..... Ive been dating this guy for 2 months now. In the beginning, everything was great. We talked and txt each other every the time. He always told me how much he loved me and he treated me like a queen! He works 6 days a week and at nite he's trying to receive a country band off the ground. He stays pretty busy. Things started to change suddenly. Not like another lady or anything like that. I was always at his home. It wasnt anything like that. We just lost the connection we used to have. Then about 3 weeks ago, we had our first battle. And it was BAD! We didnt talk to each other for 2 weeks. We gradually started talking again and I saw him for the first time since the battle last week. We both have not said if we are back together or not. He says we are not because he's to busy in his life for a girlfriend. That I can actually look though. He is very busy. But when we talk here recently, its like a new found spark. I had an accident a week ago today and had to be rushed to the hospital. He was right there by my side through it every. He came up and held my hand, kissed me on the forehead, called me baby constantly and wouldnt leave my side. I came home and he has my car because after the injury, I cant steer for awhile. He was supposed to bring it by because my purse is in it and theres paperwork I need. I've been telling him this for 3 days. He constantly tells me that he will let me know and never does. Yesterday, he told me if him and his roommate didnt go out last night, he would bring the stuff to me. I told him to call me and let me know either way what was going on. He said ok. He never did. Even now, I still havent heard from him today. He was supposed to arrive over wed night after work and I never heard from him. I know this sounds like high school crap. I'm just so confused. I dont know what to do. It's like one minute, I think he wants to work things out and just needs some time because he is so busy, and there are other times where I think he's just blowing me off completely. I just want to receive it from another guys point of view

Now they are both bears. And since global warming is making the polar bears hungry, they need to eat, and there is a finite amount of food since bears haven’t invented agriculture (yet). Also, bears eat meat. So they are both hungry and they want to receive fed and battle over the meat, and who would win? The polar bears are white and like the icy and the grizzly bears are brown and like trees and honey.

Open Question: Please help me understand this puzzle.....(especially, guys!!!)?

Almost 4 yrs back an old school pal of mine, whom I didn't even meet after school days...we started talking over the phone a lot and eventually, I loved him. He said he did too. We then, started having fights over the phone itself and he initiated the break-up and rudely sidelined me saying that this text was his last text to me. It was kinda depression for me as he was my first adore. And yes, I went thru hell recovering from the hurt but I still wished him well and blessed him and moved on................. After a year he sent me an email on every my email ids saying that - he was a jerk, BUT his adore was true"?????? and he asked me NOT TO answer and just wanted me to read that he was sorry. And wished me well!....I didn't answer as he said. As I didn't want to sound desperate, and I was hurt too so just ignored. Now, after 4 years....he sends me a mesg on fb saying that he tried to find me a lot to say sorry but wasnt sure I received his previous email dat he sent 2.5 yrs bck or not (I don't receive this point of his, if one doesn't answer...how wud he know dat I hav read ittt???) Now he says the same thing that he is sorry and .....copy pasted his entire email which he wrote 3 yrs back. At the end he says ...."NO NEED TO answer" , "NO NEED TO TALK TO ME". And gives me his good wishes. What does this mean....what does he want now....he used to say "past is past" many times in our convo. Then why is he coming back with the same thing. He was the one who initiated the break-up and I was the bearer of the pain! Is he trying to shed off a burden from his head that he hurt me once? Because a person who is genuinely sorry would not keep restrictions and wud "ask" for forgiveness, just like I did when I bid him adieu even when it was not my fault...... (ps: I am still hurt of the pain, I have moved on but I receive tears in my eyes when Im by chance reminded about that bad phase of my life when he left me and I have not replied to him since he "instructed" me not to contact him.) Please help me to understand ......what would you do in such a situation. I don't want to keep hearing this always because I am still hurt.,,,,,,What r his intentions? Especially guys.......plz help! (This was a long one....tks 4 ur patience)

Open Question: My girlfriend blamed me on a fight?

Last night me and my girlfriend went to a resteraunt ( it was a Chinese Buffet) so at the resteraunt, I take the last roll, and this other girl wanted it so I quickly walk over there before she gets it and she says " Hey what the **** ßitch I was going to take that".

So when me and my girl walk outside the resteraunt. The other girl and her boy arrive walking out to. I'm walking towards the car which is parked pretty far because the resteraunt was packed.

Open Question: I made a promise to God?

NOTE: This is more of a question directed to Christians or other people who believe in God. If you are an atheist, feel free to answer. But please don't leave any negative or condescending comments. This is a very personal matter. I believein God and that's that. Thanks. Last night my mom had a heart attack. She was okay, thank God. While she was suffering the heart attack/chest pains/cardiac arrest (I'm not sure what it was but it was bad) and waiting for the ambulance, I prayed to God. I said "God, please keep her. If you keep her, I promise to be good to her and never yell at her or battle with her again, I won't have sex until I'm married, and I won't go to the concert". So God saved my mom. I will abstain from sex until I am married, I will be good to her, and help my mum. But the concert I was referring to is coming up in a month and I do want to go. I wasn't planning on doing anything bad. I was just going to go with a pal. The only problem is, I promised God I wouldn't, but I don't know why. Would it be bad or a sin if I went after promising God even though I am not going to do anything bad there? My mum didn't oppose the idea of the concert, so I wouldn't be hurting her. Thank you Chris. That was lovely :)

Open Question: Can State and local police arrest violators of any federal law legally in Arizona now?

Or across the country for that matter. Are bank robbers and murderers free to do whatever they want without fear of being arrested by local or state police. Should state and local law enforcement officers just ignore anybody who is breaking federal law now? So they can't ask for papers now? Should anybody be asked for their drivers license and registration when stopped for traffic violations. Is this judges thoughtless rush to act not a threat to the average Americans safety? I guess the feds don't need the people of this country's support anymore. Are we of the feds, for the feds, and by the feds. Let's look how they receive anything done without us. They don't want us, they don't need us, so cease paying for their reckless indignant dishonerable behaviors. They can't arrest us every. Just try it. They're screwing us, so screw them. Not every feds are necessarily corrupt. They just do what they're told. We need leaders to wake up and start actually using their brains. If they are going to insight lawlessness than they don't need are respect or our support. Keep up the good battle Arizona.

Open Question: 15 month old, Cry It Out?

I have a soon-to-be 16 month old daughter who we have always rocked/nursed/walked to snooze. She was very colicky, and we just got into that routine- and were fine with it until now- she will battle snooze when we are rocking/walking (she does not nurse any more). When I place her in her crib, she is ok! When I leave the room, she cries, hysterically! Questions: 1. I know it is quite tardy to start the sob-it-out method- but has anyone had success with this method at this age? For her afternoon nap, she cried for 5 minutes, then put herself to snooze. 2. She is going through some separation anxiety (which is leading to the crying when I leave, I assume). Does anyone have any experience with separation anxiety and what is the proper thing to do? Do I give in and hold her? Do I leave and let her sob through it, while going in and reassuring her every few minutes? Do I leave her alone, and wait for her to receive through the separation anxiety? I just do not want to make it work. Thanks in advance. Looking forward to getting some insight from moms/dads/caregivers who have been through similar situations.

Open Question: Illegal aliens DO NOT GET food stamps and a bunch of other government benefits?

The tax system collects its due, even from a class of workers with little likelihood of claiming a refund and no wish of drawing a Social Security check. Illegal immigrants are paying taxes to Uncle Sam, experts agree. Just how much they pay is difficult to determine because the federal government doesn't fully tally it. But the latest figures available indicate it will amount to billions of dollars in federal income, Social Security and Medicare taxes this year. One rough estimate puts the amount of Social Security taxes alone at around $9 billion per year. Paycheck withholding collects much of the federal tax from illegal workers, just as it does for legal workers, It's a mistake to think that no illegal immigrants pay taxes. They definitely do.. The Social Security Administration estimates that about three-quarters of illegal workers pay taxes that contribute to the overall solvency of Social Security and Medicare. The agency estimates that for 2005, the last year for which figures are available, about $9 billion in taxes was paid on about $75 billion in wages from illegal immigrants who drew paychecks below fake names and Social Security numbers.The impact on Social Security is significant, though, because most of that money is never claimed by the people who pay it but instead helps cover retirement checks to legal workers.illegal immigrants contributed $428 billion dollars to the nation's $13.6 trillion gross domestic product in 2006. tax contributions from illegal immigrants, including sales taxes, property taxes and excise taxes (such as the gas tax), are significant. Well, first off everyone who applied for Medicaid has to verify citizenship. Illegals with no paperwork, or who have not been here long enough do NOT receive medicaid. Yes, some illegals receive food stamps- not for themselves, but for their american born kids. The kids can’t apply and use the benefits for themselves, the adult does that. So there are instances where you might have an illegal immigrant mom who has a food stamp case, but the only people who are ISSUED the benefits are the legal immigrants and the citizens in the family. Illegal aliens DO NOT receive food stamps and a bunch of other government benefits, they just don’t have the right and legal paperwork to apply for it. Educate yourself about the subject before making ignorant assumptions.. Besides, it is nobody but your "possess" people the ones that hire illegals and than expect them to survive with $3 or $4 an hour and still complain when they go to a hospital during an emergencyWhat is done to the weakest in our society ought to be a measure of that society Such accusations confuse what is legal with what is moral. American history is filled with people who broke unjust laws and were morally justified in doing so. The American Revolution was fought by men and women who broke the laws of England and of King George III. Had they been arrested, they would have been hanged for treason to the Crown. If breaking the law makes one a criminal, then the Founding Fathers were every criminals. But no one still believes that today Some people adore the confrontation. They thrive on it. So here we are, a room full of freedom lovers, where it is safe to cheer for freedom and to denounce repression. Yet even in such a room of fellow travelers, there is one topic that is sure to stir up anxiety and even hostility. That's the topic of "immigration." Immigration can divide a room faster than almost any other topic. So when I receive nervous about addressing a group on the topic of immigration, I take courage from immigrants, themselves. I think of the amazing courage that it takes to flee oppression, to leave behind everything that is familiar, and to chance the hostility of a completely alien culture in order to find freedom, opportunity, and a better life. When I think of that courage, I am greatly emboldened. How much easier it is to talk to a friendly audience, than to risk one's life in a rickety boat facing storms, pirates, and sharks. Or to risk one's life by crawling below fences

Open Question: What are some good and very easy ball drills for my group of young girls?

I am a teen and i have a tiny class of 4 girls ages 6 to 9. They are beginners and the 6-year-old can barely even make contact with the ball. I have had them receive in line at the service line and hit a forehand, then go to the back of the line, and then i do the same thing with backhands, but two of the girls are sisters, and they battle a lot, and when they are waiting in line, they receive into arguments. i need a drill that isn't so tedious and boring, and it would be good for them to move around a little too. Thanks for every your ideas, i need them very soon!

Open Question: is this normal: niece & nephew?

So my best pal is 35. She has two sisters, who are 37 & 27. Her 37 year old sister lives about 8 states over so they don't look each other often and aren't very close. Her 27 year old sister just moved to where we live from Orlando, which is 2 hours away. Her sister's husband got a job here, and was given less than a week to move, so they picked up, left & are staying with my pal's parents. Her parents live about a 5 minute steer from her, and ever since her sister moved here she just complains about how much of a brat her sister is, and they got into some huge battle and havent seen each other in about a month. Her sister moved back around 5 weeks ago? Anyways she always babysits for her niece (who is 1), and her nephew (who is 3), and always says how her nephew is to wild and rowdy, and how her niece whines to much, requires to much attention, and will turn into a little brat when she is older. I know she is very close with both of her parents, and I think a little mad her sister is still there. My pal is single, never been married, and never had any kids of her possess. She's got strong values and believes in waiting until marriage, so she doesn't just go around and mess with guys. She is very pretty though, very silly, has a good sense of humor,and she's a teacher, and gets along fine with every of her students (they are older, not little kids), is very smart, she's like a sister to me pretty much. I just hear her complain about how her sister is a brat, how her nephew is high maintenenced, and how her niece is annoying & will soon turn into a little brat, and I was wondering if this is normal or not? I'm an only child, so I have no siblings, nieces, or nephews, and she treats my kids amazingly. She always asks to babysit, anytime she sees them she's just awesome with them. I'm confused!

Open Question: Should I accept this facebook friend request?

I'm in college, and I used to babysit 2 kids- a 6 year old boy who was pretty well behaved but a handful at times (like any other normal child would be); and a 13 year old girl, his sister who was a nightmare. They live in a very wealthy area and in a huge home. The 13 year old had more clothes than I have ever had in my life, and gets her hair done every the time- very spoiled and self absorbed Things started out well for us which was great because the dad confided in me that they had been through many babysitters because his daughter has caused many to quit from her extreme behavior. She got along with me amazingly well the first couple of times because it was like we were friends, but once I had to be an authority (like break up a battle between her and her brother) she HATED me. She swung a baseball bat at me once and it almost hit me in the face, and she flung my arm and pretended it to be an accident. She even locked her brother and I out of the home and he had to use the bathroom. Her parents gave her the punishment, but they didn't want to continue with me because every time I came over they had to make sure she was out of the home and it was too difficult to do every the time. Now this 13 year old -well, now 14 since time has passed, has sent me a facebook pal request. Is she going to try and harass me or should I just forgive and forget?

Okay, so there is this guy that I like, but then there are these other 2 girls that like the same guy as me. I told both of them that I like this guy, but 1 of the girls doesn't know that the other girl likes him too. Well, anyways, I was texting the guy that I like & I asked him who he like. He told me that he like one of the other girls. The guy that liked her, to her that he liked her. Now that I know that they both like each other, should I just give up or keep on fighting the battle?? (P.S. The guy has a girlfriend already.) Help, Please....

Open Question: My life isn't that bad, right?

I think I've been feeling sorry for myself way too much lately. (Shooting 100 arrows a day at complaining, so to talk.) Usually I can just tell myself to snap out of it, but it's not working this time. So, I need someone to do it for me! I'm going to tell y'every my "sob story." In the end, please just let me HAVE it, because that might be enough to just snap out of this. I graduated last January, and I couldn't find the type of job that I really wanted. (The type of job that my friends who had graduated a few years before could receive.) Places just weren't hiring, or even letting people go. I'm in an engineering discipline that traditionally doesn't have such problems, so it was a pretty big letdown. I think I was looking for something very specific, though, so that's part of the problem. (I might need to completely revise my overall career goals.) In the mean time, I've moved to NYC for a short-term position that might help me find the job that I want later. I've never been one of those people who wanted to move to NYC, and neither is my husband. We're really struggling here, for some reason. There's human feces in the hallway of our building way more often than I would expect (well, I would expect never?) There's broken glass and trash every over the ground on the road. Things odor bad every the time. I have to walk 2 miles per day. I keep losing weight and can't gain it back, because I can't eat when I have stress. My job wasn't going so well here at first, but I think it might be better now. I still have a lot of anxiety, though. I tried to call a counselor to set up an appointment, but the ones approved by my insurance are full up for a long time. At any rate, I don't want to have to go to a counselor. I just want to snap out of it. I want to wake up not necessarily glad, but at least content enough to receive going without having to battle myself about it. Is that too much to expect from myself? Is life just a struggle most of the time, even though you might know that it's not really that bad? I keep saying to myself that I at least have a job. I have a good relationship. I have a good family. Every good thing comes with a "but" at the end, though. I have a job, but I don't feel like I'm really contributing to the world through it, and I'm not sure if I ever will be able to in the way I wanted. I have a good relationship, but my husband isn't glad here either, and I feel like he's sacrificing too much for me. I have a good family, but I was physically in the middle of moving when my grandmother passed away, and I couldn't work out a way to receive there for the funeral (even though I tried a lot.) I feel like I'll never be able to receive over that now. Anyway, please let me have it. I know it's not that bad, but I think hearing from other people that I'm just spoiled and obnoxious might be good for me. I just need a way to snap out of this and receive going with my life again! Sorry, I can't shorten it now! (It won't let me.) The jist is, I'm just another spoiled kid hitting the real world now. Just tell me to deal with it! I'm not sure what I'm expecting, but just thought I'd give this a shot.

Open Question: What's your definition of a true friend?

Mine is: A true pal is someone who never lets you down, doesn't steal your crushes, sticks up for you, keeps their promises, you can count on, and forgives you no matter what you say. Because if that person was really and truely your pal no matter how big of a battle you receive into you know that no battle is worth loosing that friendship.

Why do some friends do terrible things to you, then battle to receive you back after you've left? And is the best way to tutor a greedy pal a lesson becoming unavailable? As in if someone has taken you for granted, then you argue and pick to leave, do they regret their behaviour, and if they do why is this usually the case?

Open Question: On the verge of suicide... please please help.?

This is going to be a lengthy post. Forgive me… I don't know were else to turn. I'm just about on the verge of suicide, I'm really coming here as a last resort… I really need some answers. Somebody help me. 3 months ago I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. Followed by some depersonalization. I went though bouts of being a hypochondriac after this. I thought I had; brain damage, brain cancer, I was mentally retarded, I was deformed, the list goes on. ( This is where my real question comes in ) 3 weeks ago something sparked the fear in me that " what if I'm gay " Even though I had NEVER been gay or question if I was gay before, I started obsessing over it and actually started feeling an attraction to men. I started picking out EVERY piece of evidence to back this up. I had convinced myself that I was gay for almost a week. After I talked to my therapist and explained the situation, she stated that she really didn't think I was gay and I was just worried about it so much that the symptoms started to occur. Before I go any further, let me clarify some things. 1. I have been evaluated for; schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, and OCD. I do not have any of them. 2. I had a bad experience with Marijuana, which triggered my depression/anxiety/depersonalization. Now, here is the part that makes me want to take my life. I'm so very close to committing suicide, I had held the gun in my hand last night, and really gave it thought. I need some serious advice. I'm 19 years old. Male. Grew up in a pretty healthy environment. My mom and dad split when I was 5. There was A LOT of verbal fighting between my mom and I until I was about 18. Along with my brother, who him and I used to physically battle very often. ( It was more of I beating him up ) Not to an extent of blood, but pushing and hitting on the arms Well, now I'm afraid that " what if I turn into a murder or a pedophile " This thought scares me so bad, that I'm willing take take my life to prevent becoming a monster. Let me provide some evidence to help you better form and opinion. First off, my view on pedophiles is of complete and utter disgust. They're scum and and horrid people that commit unspeakable acts upon pre-pubescent kids. I guess that could be categorized as being a child molester too, which is even WORSE. It's a sicking act which below NO circumstances should ever be committed. when I was younger, around 13 or 14, I was becoming interested in pornography, of women. I have heard and read that porn can be a warning sign. Although, I know A LOT of men that watch pornography. I used to look up 13 - 16 year-old videos when I was younger and around that age, not often, but it did occur . I don't know if this would be normal or not. Let me clarify that the though of becoming a Pedophile and having the characteristics of one makes me so sick to my stomach, that I'm on the verge of vomiting right now. Those type of people are truly bad. They destroy the lives of kids, if they're molesters, and turn into a type of person that cannot be a part of functioning society. Anyway. After work my pal and I ( who's 23 ) Were having a conversation about girls that look older than they actually are. He stated that he had seen a girl who looked older than she was, and was attracted to her, only to find out she was 16. He said things like that worried him because they're going to receive him into unwanted trouble. Then he said something about his younger sister acting that way, and being 11 or 12 and wearing clothes that an 18 year old should be wearing. It sparked some interest in me and Imaged it for a second, and I immediately started having an anxiety attack, only to start putting past experiences similar to this together. Forming the fear of " what if I'm a pedophile, or might turn into one " This is something that I could never live with. I never had any fantasies about kids before. My sex dreams have always been about girls my age, and that I liked. I've never seen a child in public or anywhere else and gotten aroused. I feel so HORRIBLE about watching underage videos when I was around 13 and 14. This worries me beyond belief. Please... are any of these things normal in young boys ( early teenage years ) ?? I can't bring myself to even bring the subject up to anybody else... I just want these horrid thoughts to cease. And now, I'm so worried about it and so worried that I am these things, or turning into these things, that sick. horrible thoughts are starting to manifest… like they did when I convinced myself I was gay, or when I convinced myself that my pot was laced ( when it wasn't ) Could this be the depression/anxiety/depersonalization? or could an actual problem be rising it's ugly head here? I do not ever want to become any of those things, and if there is a PS. I'm not addicted to porn. I only watch it every 3 or 4 days, then only once at a time. Also, I had a girlfriend that lasted for about 1 1/2. I was very attracted to her. The last line didn't finish. If there is ANY chance that I am/will become a pedophile, or have ANY attracting to a child. I will take my life. I'm not being facetious. Another thing, I stopped worrying about being gay. And the symptoms went away. Just to clarify
