I thought I would write a brief journal saying hi and telling everyone who I am. I'm a 48 year old male from West Virginia who is thankful a friend clued me on on this site because it's been helpful...

Today was a tremendously representative snapshot into my life, for two reasons. Last night I had a great night out with my friends. I got two very nice pieces of news and even without them it would...

This will likely be my last journal entry here because no one ever reads them, and I'm getting nothing from this site other than being entertained by the trolls. I've never been more frustrated than...

Am I being over sensitive here? I am feeling so lost when I interact with people. I blame it on my living condition at the moment, living with my parents. It's like the Twilight Zone. The newest...

I love movies and I often use them to escape the realities of the world. Last night it did not work out that way as I watched "The Blind side". If you have not seen it, the movie is the true story of...

No one ever reads journals on here, but maybe if I write this down it will help me deal with it. I've begun to realize I have a real problem with Social Anxiety Disorder and looking back to count the...

Rock and Roll was not invented as some people will say – it was discovered. A DJ may have take credit for coining the phase but that’s all semantics driven by destiny. Rock and Roll was...

I started smiling some about a week ago and today I was having a fun conversation with someone I care a lot about and all of a sudden I started wearing a big smile. In fact I've been smiling all day....

It's always easier for me to explain things in analogs and metaphors. Whether it's because I have a hard time expressing what I say, or just a fear that what I say will be misconstrued, I don't know....

Most people think of love as a concept – an intangible element that we spend our lives searching for, grasping like grains of sand but rarely holding tightly enough to fully experience. Some...

Most people have a day of the year when they reflect back on events and the people they shared them with. For most people it's New Years. Day and for some it may be their birthday. Possibly for the...

For a few weeks now I have been sinking deeper and deeper into depresion. A couple days ago I decided I should try to reach out. That did not go well. It was sort of like standing on a ledge of a...
