Take a breath. The greater good for who? The greater good for you, for your family, for someone that you promised to help? Whatever decision you make, will you be able to look at yourself in the mirror next week and be proud of it? If you can, go do something else right now that has nothing to do with what's getting you down. Put on some headphones and dance around, do some dishes, take a bath, do 15 jumping jacks, 10 push-ups, and one lap around your living room. Bake something just for yourself. Watch something funny. If it's not a decision that you have to make right now, if it's something that you do not have to do right now, then it can wait until you can make the best decision for you. If it's something that can't wait and you need to do an action right now, make the decision that feels right to you and that causes the least harm. I hope this helps.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. You make me laugh, so that's good.
I cry so much don't know how I'm able to see out of my eyes. I appreciate this. I am full of so much anger right now.
I love to bake and I have my son to think about, plus my heart is struggling to act bad, this is why I reach out for help.
In a time of stress, It is hard when your struggling and you can't reach out to people and friends who you know and you would have been their time of need. Now I really know how it feels.
When I was making my decisions! I was told not to and when you associate yourself with people who admire values and asset it's hard to communicate with them when you are downsizing.
You just have to do what you need to do and pray that they will have your back. Just hold you or even a phone call to say it will be ok or to tell you don't give up, don't commit a crime cause honestly nobody knows what they will do until their in an situation. And even though you need to stay strong and you know that sometimes hearing it helps
At least this trial can show you who's really in your corner and who cares. (Just remember that sometimes when we're down, others are going through trials of their own and honestly can't do anything else other than listen.) As for being in a tough situation, usually the consequences of a crime aren't worth it in the long run. I can't say I haven't been tempted (I COULD but then I'd be a liar). Remember, do what you won't regret. If it all turns sour, at least you'll have that going for you. And, you'll be able to proudly look your son in the eye. Good luck @althea!
I'm happy to have made you laugh! I'm sorry that you are crying so much. Will confronting who/what is angering you help? Sometimes, it's best to face "things" head on and others it's best to cool down. Also, a warm bath and a few slices of cucumbers over your eyes feels fantastic. Take a break and take care of yourself!
If you're feeling helpless and alone and you need to talk to somebody, go out and talk to people. I'm not even talking crisis centers, although those are wonderful for when people feel overwhelmed and hanging by a thread. You can go to one of of those, there are so many loving hearts ready to listen in those places. Or, go to a gas station and strike up a silly conversation about weird gas station foods, candy or silly lottery trivia just to get your mind off what is eating at it and to have a frivolous conversation with another person. We are social creatures and just interacting with others can reduce the stress we feel.
I was having difficulties and I sold my car to invest in my business and get an apartment near to work. after I pay for the apartment I found out the owner is taking other people money for the same apartment.
The law in my country state they can't do anything as lock him up I have to take him to court thats like in two months. I need the money now!
That's awful! Can somebody you know recommend an inexpensive place to live or perhaps you could work (housekeeping, painting, cooking, etc) for rent? Do you have a receipt for the payment you made for the apartment? Does your town court have information/resources for people who've been victims of theft? Have you begun the process of taking the owner to court? There are many out there with good hearts willing to help those in need. It's embarrasing and frustrating, but sometimes people will hold out a hand when it's needed. Just remember to pay it forward when you can.
When I went to the police station one officer gave me 5 seconds to speak. I smile at him, I then said really then I explain so fast.
I told them they need to investigate he said not until someone else complain about it.
When I call him he run me off the phone boisterously!
Now either I start my own investigation to get other victims to report him or wait until court day.
I do start the court proceedings but that won't end this year.
I sold my car because I don't want to fornicate, beg, or take a loan I was ready to downsize to start a new.
My friends told me don't sell your car.
At least your friends cared enough to give advice. Maybe they will have other ideas? Where I live, the police have a limit to what they can do. They can stop a theft in progress, but after the fact it's up to the courts. Will a bank give you a deferred loan if you show the receipt and give them a copy of the court papers? Could you do some baking on the side to supplement your income? Fornication and begging aren't going to help you in the long run but maybe trading work for rent will. Asking for help and being willing to work it off is NOT begging. You won't be asking for something for nothing. Keep your strength!
THANKS ALOT. I WILL LOOK INTO SOME OF WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME. I WILL
READING BACK MY OWN POST AND YOUR COMMENTS ALSO GIVE ME IDEA'S HONESTLY YOU REALLY HELP ME AND I APPRECIATE THIS ALOT.
I KNOW MY FRIENDS LOVE ME IN THEIR OWN WAY, BUT ALL I HAVE BEING GETTING FROM THEM YOU NEED A MAN, YOU TOO SOFT AFTER THE WHOLE ARDEAL, SO AGAIN THANKS FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT.
ALSO I NOTICE WHILE I'M READING WHAT YOU SAID MY FOCUS SHIFT OFF BEING SAD OBTAINING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IN THE COMMENTS.
I'm happy that I was able to give you ideas. Wishing you the best @althea!
I see that the order of our replies are mixed up. Guess we found another glitch with the system.
yes I have a receipt
Hi Pretty Lady! How are you? Have the last couple of days been kind to you?
Yes not bad at all, I found a new shop and I started putting some of my energy into my youtube video's hoping I can get some views so I can start making money. I also have some healthy topics that I'm researching to post on steamit. Thank you so much for caring means alot to me. I red most of your post and i love them
It's good to hear from you! I'll head over and check out your videos in a bit. Nice work with using all that angry energy on something productive. Congratulations on finding a new shop! I hope you have success with that and your Steemit posts! I'm honestly happy to have been here when you needed an ear.
Thanks for your kind words regarding my writing. (I made a weird noise and hopped in place a bit. I'm as emotionally expressive as a golden retriever sometimes.) I also appreciate you re-steeming my post. I hope that you have a wonderful day!
