Hi, I'm a young 50 year old father of three (two sons one 5 and one 21, and a daughter of 31) from Romford, England. I have a lot of experience of life from both the good and bad sides, the good side when I was singing in bands almost every night and my life was one long party, and the bad side having to admit I'm an alcoholic and doing a hard rehab/detox programme (sober for 10 years now) then having a heart attack and a broken marriage to deal with. I am now in a good place in my own mind and want to help others as much as I am able to.

I think that I might be becoming dyslexic. I'm not sure if that can happen so I'm debating on whether to tell my parents.


I've recently (starting about a year ago) started having trouble with reading and with reading numbers.


Say I try to give a number out and it's something like, 764-383-9827. If I try to read it off of something that it was written on it would probably come out something like, 764-833-9728. It's really agrivating because it doesn't matter how long I look at the number; whenever it comes out of my mouth, they are always flip flopped.


It also happen with words and reading; it was just easier to explain with numbers. Sometimes I even read things that aren't even on the paper I'm reading off of. Like, if the word was "with" I might read it as "when" or "what". Should I tell my parents about it?

It sounds like you might have Dyslexia, but I'm not sure that it's something that just comes on like that, it could be an unconscious concentration problem. By that I mean that although you don't realise it consciously your concentration level slips at times when you're reading or writing or talking to someone. Either way you really need to talk to your parents about it and get it checked out by a doctor. Dyslexia and concentration problems aren't a major problem as long as they are found and acted on quickly.

Hope this helps

This might sound a little whack, but I've been having these mad dreams. Let me explain...One night, I was working on myspace, and I saw this really cute guy that just "popped up". I was like, OMG! HE'S GORGEOUS! And that night, I had this dream where I was in the woods and this guy came up behind me, and it just just really romantic, and he surprised me by taking me to a water fall and eating lunch. Then we kissed behind it, and just...hung out. Then we starred into the sky and crap. Well, when I woke up, I saw this friend request from him, so I looked at his profile...and in his WHO I WANT TO MEET section, THAT'S WHAT WAS THERE. MY LITTLE FANTASY/DREAM. Almost exactly like it...and I got a little freaked out. I keep having dreams about ppl I don't know, and then I end up meeting them or tlaking to them...I don't know how anyone could help me, but it would ROCK if someone could. (link)
These dreams could just be nothing more than coinsidence, but it could also be that you have a gift for fore-sight. There are lots of people who believe in these kind of visions and indeed whole religions and belief systems are based around them. You can do research about these type of beliefs and visions, there should be lots of stuff on-line and also in libraries, but be careful not everyone believes in this kind of thing and sometimes people get very freaked out by someone who claims to be able to see the future. Also don't rush into anything with someone just because you've had a dream about them, as I said it COULD just be coinsidence.


Well I'm a 16 year old girl.

Ok. To be blunt, ever since I was about 6 I have been praying that my parents or someone would abuse me or give me a reason to run away and never come back. I am trying to end this cycle but nothing has helped so far. I guess ever since I was little I never felt good enough for someone to love me. When I was younger I was always causing trouble in order for them to get sick of me and tell me what I already believed was true. Is there something I can do to end this cycle? (link)
Life can be very difficult when you suffer from self loathing, which is what you sound like you are suffering from, I know that because I also suffer from it. It lead me to live a life almost entirely of lies and pretending to be things that I wasn't, and also lead to me ending up as an alcoholic. I got sober just over two years ago and have spent much of the last two years trying to come to terms with my self loathing, it has been very difficult and took me so far down that I even attempted suicide, and I'm not completely there yet as far as dealing with it is concerned but I feel that I'm through the worst of it. Please get some professional help and advice before this situation gets any worse, you have a lot of living ahead of you and you need to start to enjoy it.
