    Wednesday, July 29, 2009 | A Call For Help story

I am no longer suicidai but having this label put on me will destroy me, my family, my carreer & my life. I have been through hell for a long time with my own physcial issues, my mothers slow, painful death from ovarian...

  • Someone tell me what to do.

    Thursday, November 5, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    I know I haven't been on here in forever. I was doing pretty well until a couple of months ago. As I've talked about in previous journals I'm in graduate school. I'm getting a doctorate in clinical psychology. Part of my program involves completing practicums (they're like unpaid internships). My school places at our practicum sites which means we have no say over where we go ...

  • I hate my life

    Sunday, November 22, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    I try so hard yet all I do is cause myself more pain. I am tired of crying from the pain. I am terrified if I can't return to work that we will lose our house. I don't see things getting better although I am fighting for my life & the house. Why does God let people live in hell for such long peroids of time? We have been through so much but it appears the hell is not going to stop any...
