About Daimeera
Hello there!
I'm a 21 year old female from Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm not as active on this site as I once was, but I will almost certainly reply to private questions sent to me.
Let's see, about me. I've been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Clinical Depression, as well as some other related mental and physical illnesses. Despite this, I'm happier now than I can ever remember being.
I've been a vegan since August 2007. In other words, I do my best not to consume anything of animal origin, ranging from the obvious (meat), to the somewhat obvious (eggs and dairy), to the not-so-obvious (honey, wool, silk, and more). I love this life. I have so much more appreciation for everything and everyone around me, and I feel so at peace with myself and the world. I wake up everyday and know that I'm making a difference. It's been a huge turning point in my life.
I recently graduated from high school after an extra three years due to my illness. It was a long road, but it felt amazing to walk across that stage. An added bonus was having the 15th highest average (over my high school career) out of 258 students!
I intend to pursue a career in psychology, first obtaining my BA, and then attending graduate school in order to study for my PhD. It's a little daunting at times, but I know it will be worth it. I want to help people, plain and simple. I want to make a difference. I want to change the world. And I believe I can, if only in a small way.
I think that's me in a nutshell. I also enjoy writing, knitting, multiple other artistic endeavors (including drawing, photography, music, and more), web design, and many other things. So, feel free to drop me a message if you think there's something I can help with.
Psst, guess what? I, like everyone else, have my very own message board! You can visit it here.

Sorry it took me so long to rate you. I was really stupid back then and you were right about everything I SO wish I would have listened to you! I don't know if you will see this cause it looks like you have been gone a while, but I hope so! This site NEEDS you!

Thanks! And yeah, I realize that sixteen is young, but I don't think it's impossible that we will last. If I did, I wouldn't be dating him at all. Besides, my parents have been dating since they were fifteen, and they are still going strong. So, I've seen examples of young relationships actually working out, and I want what's best for mine. I also don't think my emotions are "lying to me" - but I do think I don't understand them. Which makes me believe that you are right - I must be insecure about myself as opposed to my relationship per se. Thank you so much for your help. =)

oh ok well like when i watched it i mean yeah people were screaming but like not everyone seemed all that freaked out and scared like he kid John and his dad i mean he was trying to stop people from going in the school but still didnt seemed as freaked out as most people would have been idk but i liked the movie but i didnt like how the whole movie was about planning it and the actualy shoot down was only like 10 ins i think they should have spent most the time planning it but a little more time on the shoot down too

Thank you so much! I like your suggestions I will try them. The distracting myself is a good one. It's controlling my impulsive decisions in the moment that gets hard, but reasoning sounds like a good idea. That made me think of other stuff like stepping away from the situation to gather myself when I know I'm not in a rational stake of mind(eg. going to the bathroom where it's quiet or saying "I need a moment to think") Thanks again.
Awesome advice! Thumbs up!

Thank you so much! My mom actually died of cancer, and I know it's a disease that's possible to inherit, so I'm so glad someone else was able to reassure me. Your advice really calmed me down, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Thank you.

It's not from depression. She's really pissy that she didn't get her way and that's that. She just gets mad at everyone

thanks lots. i was seeing a therapist- he is great but is quite expensive ($95/hr). i know, that isn't lots for tools, and better mental health. plan on buying a book called, getting the love you want.
right now it is hard for me not to call. i met a girl the other night...we touched upon our experiences w/ commitmentphobes and vegetarianism. i called her today but am not sure if this is wise meaning may be focusing on her so i don't think about my love who pushed me away.
i see flaws in my reasoning and plan to work on one problem at a time. thank you for your help.
best,
dd
ps: i just read your response again- maybe i'll give my therapist a call. thanks again.
