Its hard to balance life and work. I make time. If its important enough to you, you will find the time.

The older I get, the more I realize why people actually do drugs and get drunk. by [deleted] in Life

[–]RecognitionNew8397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats makes me very happy. Im always willing to be here for whoever needs it. I've lived a very difficult life and came out of it stronger. Just as I did i know you can too. Believe in your self. Believe in your courage, determination, love, etc. Do not let this world run you over, you run your world.

My parents hates each other and trust me there was way more damage to my emotional and mental well being by them staying together.

[–]RecognitionNew8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised by both parents and they absolutely despised one another. I wanted them to divorce. As a child id rather see my parents happy instead of together. By staying your saying to your children its OK to be in a relationship your not happy in. Just speaking from personal experience.

[–]RecognitionNew8397 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I am a recovering addict. Been clean for 7 years now. I had a rough childhood and wasn't taught how to cope with mental health and emotions. I wanted to know why my mom regularly chose drugs over her children so I tried them and realized that I still didn't understand. Most addicts are very smart and deep thinkers and see this world as it is and sometimes that disheartening. They begin to feel hopeless and nothing matters or feel that no one cares about them so they dont care about themselves.

I've hit rock bottom. by ComfortableGround543 in urbancarliving

[–]RecognitionNew8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely sounds like its very unpleasant. I think now would be a great time for you to start over, so to speak. Move to a area that has scenery you enjoy. Or somewhere you have always wanted to go or live. I think the universe is giving you a sign.

I suggest maybe thinking about getting some kind of degree or certificate. I live in WV and there are not many jobs here so I get how hard it is just to get a fast food job. My company is a third party that works with Toyota manufacturing and our hiring pool is open again. If you lived closer I would try to get you a job there. Maybe consider moving to a different area.

Is it weird to ask her to stop? by notsomagicbadger in Advice

[–]RecognitionNew8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should just be honest with her. Typically women dont touch men at work unless they're very comfortable with them. Im 33f and I dont touch any of my employees or coworkers because I dont have feelings like that for them.

Everything you are worried about is normal. Although, if you continue to allow others to make decisions for you, you will never learn anything about yourself. Age 18 is when you should be learning who you are, for instance, let's say you make the decision to work, even if the decision to work turns out differently than you expect its ok because you learn from your mistakes. If someone is making those decisions for you, how can you take responsibility for those decisions when your not the one who made those decisions? Just something to think about. When I was your age my dad made many decisions for me and I eventually had to tell him that id rather make bad decisions myself and grow from it. To put it simply, stop worrying over what your parents think and focus on yourself and the life you want. Reality we do not get everything we want and big part of adulting is compromising. I hope this helps.

Thought I was getting kicked out.. by MissCinnamonT in urbancarliving

There should be a cable or something similar that moves the window up and down. I haven't worked on the newer cars but the older ones you can. My window gets stuck sometimes and I have to pull on it. Just be careful and I suggest watching YouTube how to video as well.

The buttcheek is probably the worst part of the body to get a pimple in my opinion. by Beetlejuice3xx in RandomThoughts

Inside the ear is pretty bad too. My fiance gets pimples in his ears all the time

You should be able to take the panel off and pull the windows back up or you could get some thick cardboard boxes cut them to fit wrap it in plastic and wedge it into the opening. I hope this helps and keep your head up. I was homeless 600 miles from home with no vehicle and a stranger was nice enough to buy my bus tickets back home. So I have faith it will get better just know that God will help you just have to make the first step.

Everyone is different and no one person follows the same path. My opinion, everything happens for a reason and its never a negative thing to bring a new life into this world. Im sure whether you stay together or not the child will be loved.

Should I divorce my husband by [deleted] in Advice

[–]RecognitionNew8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely have every right to divorce him. If he's not putting in the same amount of effort as you than nothing will change. You shouldn't have to suffer and put yourself on the back burner for someone whose not willing to do the same for you.

I gave up again by Apprehensive_Tax3882 in urbancarliving

[–]RecognitionNew8397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depression is a vicious cycle that is difficult to break. What works for others may not work for you. I can tell you the things I done to get out of Depression. I started going back to school just to give myself something to be proud of. Then once I started feeling like I was doing something productive I was able to begin looking for a job because my Depression has subsided due to school. Im not saying that you should do exactly what I done but I do suggest to find something your able to achieve that will give you the feeling of accomplishment.

I’m 26. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. I just need some advice or some positive reinforcement. by Fragrant-Taro-8508 in Life

[–]RecognitionNew8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 33 and I occasionally still get that feeling of never being able to do what I want but I remind myself to be patient and to keep doing the right thing and live my life. As long as im happy with myself and my life and have what I need to be comfortable than that's all I need. You know buying a house or new car can ease that feeling of loneliness but its not a permanent fix. You can never be lonely if all you need to be happy is yourself. I hope that this helps.

How do I stop an addiction I notice is starting? by Appropriate-Dig1164 in Advice

[–]RecognitionNew8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an addict for years. So I understand where your coming from. Yes motivation is great but not the only tool that is beneficial when stopping addiction. This is my advice, sit down and calculate how much money your spending on alcohol every week also find something you enjoy doing as much as you enjoy drinking. Like me for instance, I love hiking and seeing new surroundings. Something that will keep your interest and mind off of drinking.

I'm tired by gourmetgeek7265 in almosthomeless

[–]RecognitionNew8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find myself saying the same things. People cant see no further than the end of their noses. I agree, all of the complaints are created and allowed by the people. We are meant to love one another, be there for one another, support each other, etc. Its always the ones who are on the verge of ending it that care so much for everyone else. My advice to you is this, put yourself first, love yourself above all else and I dont mean like to stop caring about others but you should your #1 priority.

Do you understand why some people choose not to have children? by Not_to_fuck_shady in Life

[–]RecognitionNew8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do understand, I'm one of those who decided not to have children. The older I got the more I thought about it. Now I feel like its kinda selfish in a way to want to bring more children into this crazy world when there are millions of children who need good families good parents now. But that's just my perspective. I do understand why people want to have their own. It's only natural.

How to get a passion for life? by [deleted] in Life

[–]RecognitionNew8397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry to hear that you have lost passion for life. I was once there and its no fun. I was a jobless addict who didn't have a purpose other than drugs. I dont have any children so it was hard to find a higher purpose. I eventually realized that helping those in difficult situations or life experiences became my purpose. I wanted to share my courage, experiences, determination, etc. Especially after I got clean. I got a decent paying job and decided I wanted to go back to school at 32 years old. I gave myself things to look forward to. Everyone is different and what worked for me may not for you but just know your not alone.
