:.Hey x3My name is Emily and blah blah blah.
:.I have a lot of personal, family, and friend issues of my own so a lot of times, I can probably relate to you a lot of times if you have personal, family, and/or friend issues.
:.I can offer a lot of information, help, and advice on family and friend relationships, love lives, depression, stretching/flexibility, weight loss, violin, being organized, dog training, forensics (public speaking), keeping up with school/extracurricular activities, eating disorders, writing (stories and poems), and probably a lot of other random stuff like what to drink when you eat something spicy and why.
:.Although I can help a lot of you guys on the above subjects, I don't tend to take my own advice so it can become quite an awkward/ironic/contradicting situation for me or make myself sound like a complete and utter hypocrite.
:.Hannah Whitall Smith once said, "The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right." I agree 100% of it. Advice is advice and it is given when asked for. I give it and I leave it at that. It's up to the questioner/advice seeker to take it.
:.That point leads onto my philosophies in advice giving:
1. Advice is given when asked and no time else, unless your friend is about to irritate a black bear, then you should definitely advice your friend to back away and run for his or her life.
2. Advice is not critical, not judgmental, and definitely not biased. Advice is advice and should remain neutral.
3. Advice is to help, not to get 5s on every answer. As a result, my advice ends up being quite blunt and frank with a hint of rambling mixed in.
If you have general questions on the topics I can be a lot of help in (as listed above), most likely, they will be in my FORUM
If it is not, you can inbox me to request me to put it up.
:.If you want to ask me a question directly...
a)if it is not urgent and can wait a week or so, inbox me.
b)if it is an urgent question such as "I'm being eaten by a shark! What do I do???" first of all, I'm quite amazed that you can type while being eaten and second of all, e-mail me at cancel.life@gmail.com. I will answer you by midnight of that day (or if it's 11:55PM, probably by 3PM the following day).
advice
Over the holidays, my mom popped pills. She is better now after 2 trips to the hospital, 1 in an ambulance and one in her bf's car. I couldn't help but cry during this whole ordeal. It felt like I was the mother and she was the teenager. But, I don't know what I will do if that happens again. I love my mom to death and she is the only family I have, besides my brother but he is autistic and my other brother is a drug addict and ran away from home. I don't want to live with my grandparents, and my dad won't let me live with him because he hates me and my autistic brother. He didn't even call us over the holidays! Anyways, what should I do if it happens again? I know coming to you would get me real answers because you give your answers straight-up, not sugar-coated. Well neither is life, so I'd appreciate if you answered soon.
Thanks!
Eryn, Happy New Year.
That is a horrible thing to happen on a holiday. So I'll start off by saying, "I'm sorry for what happened."
Do you know what the cause of your mother's actions were? Is it depression? Addiction?
There could be a few things happening here:
1. You will stay with your mother.
2. You can be placed with your father.
3. You can be placed with your grandparents.
Your mother seems unstable from what I'm reading. Right now, I think that the best you can do is just stay by her side and try and help her get through it. Help her out more than usual around the house. If this happens again, you might consider living with your grandparents or father. It may seem like a terrible advice but your mom just might need time for herself to get herself together. Even if you don't want to live with your grandparents, it may be the best choice for you, your mom, and your brother.
What about your mom's boyfriend? Is he responsible?
I really don't know how much I'm helping you but talking with your school counselor will help you.
I don't know how much I've helped but if you need someone to talk to, feel free to e-mail me at xethereal.imbalance@yahoo.com
Good luck and happy new years!
(Rating: 5) thank you, Rick is responsible, but he really doesn't care that much, We are going to move out after the lease is over.
