Chug, this is not the case! You are an incredible person, you're very loving and generous, and you will do well in school. You will not perish. You're not a fraud, and I can't stand hearing you talk about yourself like this. It breaks my heart.

Ok hon - you need to know, your in one of the WORST states in the US to try to GET a job. Seriously. My entire family lives up there. If you even HAD a job, you're doing better than my dad who hasn't had a job in 7 years or so. Hasn't been able to find one.

Not trying to discourage you, I'm just letting you know it is really rough up there. I have some connections though. How far you willing to travel for work? Message me if you like. I'm going to bed now, but will get it in the morning. Just let me know.

chug you are not a fraud you are a wonderful person and a job or a child does not change that fact one way or the other

You are not a fraud & are plenty smart. You can't be defining & guaging self esteem by things like how you do at school, y'know? Your intrinsic value goes deeper than that xx

u r not. Talk to me.

you are obviously reaching out just reach out a lil more

Hey Chug hon? I have no job, no children AND I flunked out of grad school! I'm one up on you! You're no fraud silly moo because then *I'd* be one and then I'd really hate you for calling me a fraud and we don't want that do we?

is he talking with anyone? have any of you heard from him?

hey jenmcd. I treid to get him to call me or someone but he wont

You are one of the more intelligent beings I know. I know you can make it through school, you are way smarter than half my psychiatrists -- and I have had a lot. And you are smarter than all my therapists except maybe one. And you are definitely smarter than ALL my teachers, lol. (By default guess that means you are smarter than me : )

Bloody hell I clicked on this cos I thought someone was writing about me.
You are not a fraud, don't judge yourself so harshly (I know its easier said than done). I know you're hurting but honestly it will pass.. keep talking to people

Chugg
Thanks for talking about your fear. Stateing how you feel is important. When ever you start something new. We all have doubts.

You may not make your goal.
You might not be the person you want to be.
Those are all doubts that we have.
So when we start something new. Our feelings may not lineup with waht you are doing.Ie the self doubt you are feeling.
I think that self doubt is only temporary.
I beleave that god will give you what ever experiance you want to have in life. Just keep chooseing the dream that you want even when you feel like giveing up. That means getting up every morining and stateing to god and the universe what you want to to. then pray to god an how to get it . Ask him for the suppoprt and what you need to get it to happen. then do it. the actions necesarry to go get your dream. Do the fucking work to get there.
Even when it seems the whole world is agianst you.
YOu are not the first pesron to embalrk on this journey.
That means you can ask peaple for help along the way. YOu are not alone and not the first person to go back to school.
I willpray for your success matt.

fear really keeps us back. Try school and see if you like it. Questioning your abilities is normal. I know I will not be able to handle kids and be functional. Some things are just harder for others but you will not perish. Find what makes you interested and follow it.
We are nowhere without dreams.

chugg, I know how you feel, but you've got to redine what success means to YOU and what makes you happy right now. This is simply a moment in time and it will pass. You will conquer today, and tommorow will worry about itself. Be still. Breath and only do the best you can right this moment. all the little moments add up to success. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, you'll get there.

Don't perish because be as fiona apple says an extrondinary machine. No matter what comes out of peoples mouths you can handle it .. pHUCK THEM CHUGGGS!!! your a hell of a man.. You probley so smart your ment for more than this stupid world. There is a reason your in it tho you should find out regardless of all the negativity and rejection from the people tht don't know your true talent.
