Very technical if you know little or nothing of chinese meds but one of the most repected practitioners and has been for years. I know he has formula medicine in pill form although probably not on the blog page but a little more googling should get you to a site that sells them .

I'm sick of of feeling inferior to everyone else?him in particular. I'm sick of my dependence on others and knowing that I'm not good enough. I'm sick of being dragged through hell and having to go about it quietly. I'm sick of life and I really don't care to experience anymore. I didn't ask for this life and I won't ask to keep it. Not anymore. Not that there's a way out, anyway.

I made one self-deprecating joke about my weight, (it was in context of a conversation, I didn't bring up the topic of weight) and my mother takes it as a invitation to tell me everything I'm doing wrong (In HER opinion. Most of it is stuff I can't can't control, like my sleep issues.), what I should be doing instead (stuff I'm not capable of, and stuff I don't have the spoons for) and generally make me feel like sh*t. It's useless to standup for myself, though I tried my best. She doesn't want to listen. She has no idea how vile she is.

I'm sorry to hear this difficulty. Have you tried writing her a letter about your issues and how hurtful her behavior is? I find many subjects easier to write out than to speak.
Best wishes

I'm no good at reading maps or giving directions. If I'm in the car with someone and I know the destination well I can guide well. I just got back from an outing where I was asked to navigate even though my family knows I can't read a map. They insist its easy but I don't see it.

No, but I've told her over and over. She doesn't care. She thinks she does no wrong. It's the type of situation where there is no hope but to cut off contact, but I have no where to go, so I'm stuck here.

I JUST FREAKING HATE IT THAT HE DOESN'T LIKE ME.
I've been crying for 15 minutes now. He's got his arrows pointed at someone else.

Unrequited love can be rather painful. *offers virtual hug*
It may be that he will come to like you in time; if not, then know that better things and brighter days await you.

I hope that you can find somewhere to go or someone else to depend on soon. You deserve better than to be consistently put down and made to feel worthless, and some people are just so rooted in their style of communication, however cruel it may be to others, that changing how they interact with you can be like changing how a Category 5 hurricane interacts with a mobile home.
But I know how it is: my father is somewhat similar to your mother in terms of how vicious he can be (I was just crying a few minutes ago, in fact, because he cursed me out for having my glasses folded beside me on my bed instead of on the counter or in their case. I can see his concern--he didn't want me to roll over the glasses and break them, and he is the one who pays for the glasses--but I get near-narcoleptic when I get tired, and, like your mother, saying "Hey, you yelling at me makes me deeply frazzled and afraid" is of no avail). Leaving a parent, both physically and emotionally, can be much harder than one would anticipate: I swore that I would almost never see my father after I went to college, but I still visited him nearly every single weekend, and I stayed at his house this entire summer.

I don't understand all these f#cking awareness campaigns. ALS, autism, breast cancer..
Okay, we're now aware but to what point??? To what benefit to anyone??? I guess I feel that you should put your money where your mouth is, or STFU. Awareness is meaningless without a corresponding action.
These campaigns make me mad. On a personal note for autism awareness, the f# ck you are in truth.

Rant over.

I feel the same way, usually. My mom's been breast cancer-free for five few years and I lost my grandma to ALS about three years ago. I don't believe my mom is bothered by 'breast cancer awareness', but you can find rants all over the Internet about how overly-commercialized it is and how little help certain 'non-profit' organizations really offer. I personally think I lot of companies manufacture pink products just because everyone else is doing it and they want to look good. "Oh, see, our Coke cans have pink on them now! Yeah, breast cancer awareness all the way! For every five million cans sold, we'll donate one cent to some non-profit organization, which may or may not use our donation to actually further cancer research!"

Last year, my high school football team wore pink socks to one game, the cheerleaders used pink pom-poms, and those of us in the band were forced to wear pink gloves in the stands. What does this do for breast cancer? Heck if I know. Apparently the whole 'awareness' campaign is supposed to remind women to get mammograms regularly, though I didn't know that until last October; none of the helpful advice mixed into the campaign reached me because it was drowned out by all the pretentious pink slacktivism going on. Buying a pink lanyard or an 'I love boobies' bracelet is not going to save anyone from breast cancer.

As for the ice water challenge, I definitely thought it was another stupid slacktivist trend, but then I found out that it actually was raising a lot of money. That's great and all, but I still wish more people would choose the money option. My dad did, and if someone challenged me, I'd probably give my parents my money and tell them to donate it for me, since I'm not sure how to personally go through with that.

But then of course Autism $peaks ruined the whole 'autism awareness' thing, so now everyone thinks autistics are tragic and helpless.

am fed up of this f*****g mental distress, am taking a break from the internet.

He is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute. And he didn't even like her!! !! But then that 19 year old tramp started talking to him and he started liking her.

I'm afraid I will never fall in love again

been a limerent for over 2 years. it just gets worse every day. she's 18, i'm 17.
i'll never forget that summer i spent with her.

unrequited love is a b***h aint it.

I know what you mean. And where does it end? We're now at a point where you'd have to be blind, deaf, and living under a rock to not be "AWARE" of breast cancer and all this other stuff. So can we stop dressing football players in bright pink now? PLEASE?! And like you said, does awareness really matter? What matters is whether we can help these people. My aunt and both of my grandmothers have had breast cancer so I'm not insensitive, I'm just tired of the crass and empty commercialism that passes for national discourse in this country. It's like we've forgotten how to care, so we just advertise.

I don't get Autism Speaks myself--I don't want to be advocated for, just left alone. But their site does say: "Autism statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identify around 1 in 68 American children as on the autism spectrum?a ten-fold increase in prevalence in 40 years. Careful research shows that this increase is only partly explained by improved diagnosis and awareness." So what else might explain it? All the crazy forms of media we are exposed to from the first days of our lives? It sounds like an old-fashioned theory, but maybe the increase in autism is due to overstimulation and more childrens' brains not being able to handle all this.
