Thanks everyone for your support. I don't have much time to answer as I'm getting ready to go to BJD meet tomorrow. Maybe tonight I will get some sleep. Last night I only managed to sleep for 4 hours. Dad's anger is calming down,so all will be well until next time I do something wrong.

@perla. sending you hugs. i agree with what everyone else is saying. noone has the right to lay a hand on you and harm you. there has to be some help for you somewhere. wish there was something i could do.

Perla sweetie, seriously, you deserve better. There are ways to make it stop, they do require courage, but I'm putting it as hard as it is - it is your decision either way: Either you talk to someone (grandparents, teacher, counselor, even the police) and get yourself out of the situation, or you decide to stay and let him carry on. You can't make him change, but you - and only you! - can take yourself out of there and change YOUR life. You've got every right to be your own person, and be left in peace and healthy and whole. And if people intrude upon that, it's your right to walk out on them.

Bought the wrong stuff in an instruction PDF. *headdesk* maybe it'll still work or be useful somewhere else...

I would appreciate prayers and good thoughts.

My teenage daughter, Joy, suffers from anxiety and depression and she is really distraught right now, on the verge of a panic attack. She was suppose to go out of town for the week to visit friends in central FL, but that was just canceled on her. She has been looking forward to this trip since one of her friends there had to cancel his trip up here after Christmas because his step-mother unexpectedly passed away. She was expecting to visit him and another friend (they are roommates) who just had a heart transplant. Only now Becca isn't doing so great and it looks like she might be transferred to a difference hospital. So Joy is very worried about her and concerned about her other friend since he just lost his step-mom.

We had an appointment today with a new psychiatrist and she was prescribed a new medication. One that can be crushed since she can't seem to swallow pills anymore. Only it will take 2-4 weeks for the meds to start making a significant difference.

As typical, Joy is holding everything in when she should be able to cry about being so terribly disappointed and worried. She has no real friends here. The few she does have seem to have little time for her one on one. They are fine being FB friends and texting, but for some reason when it comes to face to face time, it rarely happens.

So I'm worried for her.

i'm so sorry to hear that Kirahfaye. Joy will be in my thoughts and I send you and your family good luck. I know how tough it can be when someone close to you has anxiety and depression. Switching medication is always a difficult transition too.

I applied for what should have been a perfect job for me - admissions rep at an art school. I was called in for a preliminary information/screening interview yesterday. I thought I did well, but apparently I didn't as today I got an email saying basically "thanks, but no thanks".

back to phase one....

Something minor compared to what evryone else is going through, but I just cut the tip of my left index finger with an x-acto knife

It hurts an incredible amount for such a tiny little stab wound... (makes typing awkward now...)

@Kirahfay: I can imagine how worried you must be as I am a mother of 3 and its hard te tell from the outside whats happening from the inside if they don't talk jet you know somethings wrong. I have a depression myself and the thing that helps me cope is having something to look forward to. I usually am more depressed AFTER a meeting because then the thing I was looking forward to is gone. So maybe if there is a chance of her having a new apointment with her friends or even someone else to do something fun or anything, that might help her a bit. She will be worried about her friends still but at the same time she has something to look forward to which will help her own mental state.
I hope the medication will work soon. Its such a pain that a medication for something like that takes SO long to work.

My friend who just lost her mom just found out her family can't afford the funeral.

I feel awful for her...I don't know what the hell I can do to help her...My mom said it's not my issue to worry about...But I do want to do something...I'm contemplating asking if at the registers at the local big lots if a jar can be set up to collect change/cash maybe even set up a paypal account for online donations...This is something my friend who's only seventeen shouldn't have to worry about...I'm not asking for hand outs no way am I hinting at that. I just...I'm just mad I wish I could help...

NOTE: Before anything I even attempt I need to talk it over with my mom...I don't know I'm just musing here...
