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.

I am a teen victim of domestic violence. I am 15 years old and I live in the state of Florida, Volusia County. I really dont have the authority to do much. I dont have a job and my mother is taking her boyfriend (the abuser)s side over me. In my situation I was completely respectful until the abuser got up into my face and physically placed his hands on me. I then yelled and left the house. I tried to go back and talk to my mom about getting an injunction on him but she wont because she wants to be with him and says 'he' is in control because 'he' has "the money", supposedly my mom cannot live on her own without him. I am placed in the middle of this because I am her responsibility and I need help. I want to get him out of the house so I can move back in. I dont have family I can goto and I dont have many friends at all. If anyone has any information on this it would be greatly appriciated. ASAP
I think you need to talk to your school guidance counsellor. What your mother is doing is unacceptable, and it's not a situation you should be in. A guidance counsellor will have ideas of what to do and will be able to help you.
If you don't have a guidance counsellor to talk to, try a teacher that you trust, or another adult.
You shouldn't have to live somewhere you don't feel comfortable.
