> > ell I am deffinately a newbie to this whole thing and to be quite honest i am quite lost in this world... its almost as if i am standing still and the rest of the world is in fastforward mode... kinda crazy... In the past few weeks i have gone crazy it seems doing things i would have never done, saying things i would have never even thought about saying and then acting upon those things, and then to make it better i am getting upset over the smallest things like someone eating dried cereal next to me... the sound drove me nuts its freaking cereal for gods sake... that shouldn't piss someone off should it?? Well i think that this is all for now...

> Hey Ally,Hey, sweetie: So EXCITED to :"meet" someone from back home! Did you know there is a website for us exilers? yup....www.exiles.com.....makes me SO homesick, and I have been here (Michigan) much...longer than I was growing up. Joined the army right out of high school.
Imagine---from Maine (totally innocent and naive) to San Francisco! Culture shock!
Trust me, no one has a perfect family, matter of fact, I think most families are dysfunctional (in SOMe ways).
I've been counseling abused women for the past 10 years (because of a lifetime of abuse, and extensive research).
If you want to, you can read the "Reader's Digest Version" of my life (I was published with the Ph.D's! what a shock) www.psychiatricjournal.com, entitled: The Transcendent Child on Overcoming Verbal and Spiritual Abuse
i could KILL for a lobstah roll, deah fellow New Englanduh! Hugs and Love, I am definitely wicked bad, LOl, LOL Grins, Ally
> Yes Portland (ME) does have a significance to me, it was where i was born and basically spent my formative years growing up, but now i am currrently clear accross the country going to school.. About the post... i didn't really honestly think that anyone would actually reply so i didn't put that much information into it... but i was wrong... and i am quite thankful for that too!! I don't think that it was the cereal that was really bothering me i think that it was the fact that i have had absolutely no control over my life since september and i have no clue why and all anyone can tell me is that i am depressed, and if i am, my family will freak, thats not allowed to happen in our family. our family is supposed to be normal and happy and the perfect family, but i have taken some online tests and they have all consistantly told me that i might have an anxiety disorder, cingulate system hyperactivity, limbic system hyperactivity, and also depression, so i did call the school psychological services to see someone but i still can't get in untill the 21st of this month and thats only an intake so i am kinda getting really nervous about all this... is any of this making any sense?? well I am off to class... have a great day and thanks for everything...
