Whatever your problem is, chances are I have dealt with it- either directly of indirectly- at some point in my life. I've worked as a Social Worker (with issues like mental illness, addiction, disabilities, eating disorders, etc.)
I've also taught school (to teens!)and have experience mentoring them.
In addition to that, I've lived in 4 different countries, many different cities, and worked jobs in all different fields from Software Sales to Fashion Designer.
This diverse life experience has given me knowledge on a wide variety of topics- which I hope I can put to good use here. :-)
So go ahead- ask away!
PS- I do not judge people or speak to them in a condescending way. However, I will be honest and tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear.

What's going on is you have decided to put the problems of the world on your shoulders!
You are becoming a first class worry wart. In fact, you are worrying so much that now you can't even enjoy this upcoming trip because you're afraid of what 'could' happen. Yikes! That means you're worrying about things that HAVEN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET too!
Slooooooooooow down. Take a breather.
Go ahead. Breathe in.........Breathe out......Breathe in........Breathe out.
I think you are looking at the things going on around you and want to fix everything. You CAN'T. All you can change is yourself. You don't have the power to change other people. You may help to guide them or support them, but they have to make the changes on their own. We can do what we can to help others, but at the end of the day, each person is responsible for the choices that they make in their lives.
So please, give yourself a break, wonderwoman.
