As a woman who has gained a lot of weight in the last several years, I wouldn't ask that question to begin with, BUT if I did ask, I would want the person to tell me that there was no chemistry/connection between us. That is still being honest, but no need to mention sensitive body image...

I'm really concerned and hoping someone can help me with this issue. I've been reading many articles lately and am strongly convinced that we can lose our salvation. I know it says no one can snatch us out of God's hands once we are saved, but the way I now understand it, this means that we...

Thanks for the encouragement! I love your beautiful husky icon. :)

I don't know which sub-forum to post this in, but I desperately need my marriage to be restored. Please pray for me and B. I know it takes two to tango and I pray for insight about how I can change more, but I am very concerned about my husband. He acts really manic. It's so hard to me to...

God has been breaking me down to reveal His will for my life lately and I welcome His guidance, although I am struggling in many areas of my life and tears are coming to the surface. I'm in a transitional point in my life right now and it's been a long time coming, but I knew this would come...

My mother-in-law only calls my husband and me when she wants money or a favor. We usually don't take her calls because when we do, we end up having to drive her somewhere (she doesn't work or have a car), give her money for things like getting her nails done, or having her come over here to use...

I feel extremely depressed and anxious today and don't even really know why. I have a demanding (though only 2 hour!) job and my boss is even willing to accommodate me since I spoke up about the unreasonableness of her expectations. But why do I continually feel this anxious and depressed? I've...

Feeling depressed more than anxious, but both. I've had so many jobs that I've lost count and today I begin 2 more that I am absolutely NOT looking forward to. Both jobs involve elements that I am extremely averse to, but I HAVE to take these jobs because we need money and I can't have my...

Yes, it is anxiety and/or panic. I have it too. It really does make life hard to function in, but go places you can relax!

I am feeling ok. My counseling appointment was super short because I didn't bring enough money for parking, so I only got to fill out one paper, but I was honest on the paper and didn't downplay or exaggerate as I have in the past. Sometimes I base my truth on my feelings of the day/moment and...

I see that you wrote this in Feb., so it may be too late. It is VERY hard for me to work full-time, but I did it for a year (and nearly fell apart/committed suicide). I tried full-time work again and became extremely anxious to the point where I HAD to escape (I mean, if I didn't escape I would...

Here are my small accomplishments: --I used to not be able to take pills because I was afraid of choking, but now I can make myself swallow them. --I was afraid to drive and had no one to teach me, so I hired someone to give me lessons and got my driver's license. Now I've been driving for...

Sometimes it feels like we aren't where we want to be in life/others are "better: than us. But it's not about where we are in life. It's about where we are going. What have you accomplished that you struggled with before? List these things here. Others--don't compare yourselves to anything...

People say I'm insightful and understanding. Even if it originated from me being overly self-focused, I guess it's a good thing because I can be empathic, even if I have trouble expressing it.

Todd Talbot ("Matt Walker") of Nickelodeon's first teen saga/soap opera, FIFTEEN (otherwise known as HILLSIDE) was my first, as a pre-teen. Other huge crushes at that age were Luke Perry of Beverly Hills 90210 and Andrew Shue of Melrose Place.
