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.

Okay so theres this boy and he is real nice and all and I've been crushing on him forever and my friend was planning to tell him and if he finds out he will like me thats what always happens so I'm not sure if I should go through with this because he would give me is sweater and buy me candy and sit by me but the problem is that I'm shy I mean real shy and I know if we were together I shouldn't be so shy but I don't think thats me. What do I do?
Would it help if you told him you were shy? I know that probably sounds hard, but it would be a big relief, I bet.
Being with him, because you like him and it sounds like you really care about him, might even help you get over some of your shyness. I'm sure it won't make it go away entirely (unfortunately, I know!), but he might give you some new confidence.
Take a chance, if you can bring yourself to do it. Take it a moment at a time and tell yourself that you're doing just fine and you're accepted and okay.
It probably sounds like a load of crock, but it's how I've started to get past my social awkwardness--a slightly different problem, but similar enough. Push yourself just beyond your comfort zone, not to far, and not for too long. It doesn't even have to be with him. Start by smiling at someone you don't know. Once you master that, if you see someone you know, but not well, ask them how they're doing. Offer answers in class.
Don't rush yourself. You can do it.
