    Severly Depressed

    Sawtooth, don't give up on a psychologist just because you didn't find the right one. You have to shop around, there are a lot of shrinks that don't know anything and they are in the business for the money. Care about yourself and be persistent in that area. You have to find the right one...

    suicide is for me

    Nowisthetime, the problem may be twofold, with a need for cognitive psychotherapy and also treatment of a biochemical imbalance of brain chemistry, from what you describe. It is a difficult place to be, needing professional treatment with no money. When I was a lot younger I was in a similar...

    Struggling horribly - apology in advance

    You could say I'm a "depression veteran", I sure know what it is like. I can tell you that if you seek treatment it improves with age, little by little. Keep as healthy as you can, etc. I'm sure you've heard everything by now. I'd like to say that if you need medication, I sincerely hope you...

    Let's settle this "Islam is terrorism" nonsense once and for all

    It really doesn't, and the whole world situation isn't painting a very comforting picture at the moment. I aim to do what I can to try to calm some things down if possible, and cut through the emotionalism. I'm really trying to see what the real issues are and what is really going on. I hope...

    Let's settle this "Islam is terrorism" nonsense once and for all

    You're obviously far more knowledgable about the forum/site than I am, so I must accept what you say at face value. I would say, however, that those who would be willing to impose Sharia probably don't know what they would really be getting into.

    Let's settle this "Islam is terrorism" nonsense once and for all

    I know for a fact that the majority of Muslims are not in favor of sharia. For example, as a Christian, I would oppose the establishment of a theocracy unless it was from Jesus Christ himself.

    Let's settle this "Islam is terrorism" nonsense once and for all

    It's a good point Secundulus, but keep in mind your own statement that there is no central authority. Some Islamic scholars incite violence, others do not. As far as radicalism, let's not forget the crusades. There was plently of justification going around at that time. It's a complex...

    Need help with being Nervous...

    I'm a little late seeing this, but I thought it worth a reply. I had the same basic problem. The only cure is to PERFORM again and again, making mistakes along the way and discovering that the world doesn't end, etc. So you hit a wrong note, so what? I've gone into wrong keys, played the...

    I need help with a music forum...

    I agree that this is a very excellent idea as well. I also agree with Sanctifi3d - how you target your audience in the beginning stages is CRITICAL. You should really be specific, and just to get started, I would suggest being rather narrow. I say this because you would want things as simple...

    I'd appreciate some honest critiques...

    When I heard your track, I was quite moved. For a ballad I think you have a refreshing sense of accent - most of them were excellently placed. I agree with jochanaan in spirit - that is, check your vocal rhythm by speaking the vocals (as if you were reciting a poem), and see if you like the...
