- just move on, trust me theres worst things than bob barker retiring, or not getting a coloring book. just live your life. maybe talk to your parents about it.
- im so0oooo sorry! what i would do is just think of the positives! 1. they are in a better place 2. they are still in your heart 3. you will see them again ... most likely!! lol! well you will! and now i g2g...... sorry i cant help more... trouble!
- Speaking with your doctor or your priest will help because its a horrible situation and you need to look for their help. Dont be afraid and tell them all the problems you have and you will feel alot better.
- I went through a similar worst period of my life. My mother died. then my dog died. then I got the crappiest job ever known to man that made me feel awful. That was years ago, and I am past it now. (I will not minimize your concerns. We come to "know" celebrities, and when we have known them all our lives, it IS distressing when they go away.) But let me say what you've heard before. Time is what it takes to make all this less intense and painful. That's the only thing that will. Best of luck to you.
- omg get over it my mom died when I was 8 in 1997 on Valintines Day because of aids. And my dad died this year on Easter because of suicide. My grandma died from my moms side 1 year after she died. My only aunt from my mom side died 1 year after my grandma died. And my grandpa from my dads side died as well
- If you know you have depression there is one and only one solution and that is to see your doctor and explain your symptoms and get the medicine they suggest... I have it and I don't take meds I take life!!! If you don't like the ups and downs then help yourself by the above. Life will not be a roller coaster anymore so be good to yourself and try it and start to live a happy balanced life!!!
- we have all been through tough stuff.. I think that you should not take this "like I don't care either", but, this is what I think ... I think that God sents stuff becaue he knows that we can handle it... you just need to get closer to him.. and look at things like "oh well, things happen", but !! do try to help others who are going through stuff like that.. my mother died when i was 12, my biological father was very very bad to us... i had to put up with him.. until I got out of the house .. my sisters and I would always fist fight.. my brother would torment and physically abuse us.. now, I have kids and I am a married and happy woman... family's are breaking apart.. and maybe you can do something about it.. but, you really have to put your head and most of all heart to it.. don't overstress ask god to lead you... don't be weak.. your mind is your most powerful tool.. and somewhere inside of you... there is a strong you who has lived and put up with everything that has happend to you... dig in there and be strong.. remember this.. there is a solution for everything for everything no matter how scary, or how angry the situation is.. find it you are smart.. as I can see you have been through difficult situations.. and I know that you definitely have learned from them.. good luck and God Bless!1
- I am sorry for the lose of your grandparents that really sucks. It is never an easy thing to get over. They are in a better place now is what I can say about that. As far as Bob Barker I mean him retiring yes sad in a way I guess but dont you think there are much worse things that could be happening right now. I mean come on he is a TV personality. I dont think it is the end of the world that he is leaving the show. The only thing I can tell you is that things could be alot worse then they are right now, alot worse trust me. Life is a rollercoaster man one minute u r up and then the next second you are down. But the universe always evens its self out. it may not seem like it but it does. Hang in there do soemthing positive something nice for someone that you have never done that will make you feel better or have a good laugh until you are crying.
- I'm not sure how old you are, but you say you're in school. Collage or Grade? Maybe you should have a talk with your parents about the way that you are feeling. If you don't think they are serious enough about your problems there is always the school counselor. People get old and no matter how dear they are to our heart, we can lose them and have to accept that. The best thing you have of your grandparents are memories, good times and bad times they are yours and yours alone. Bob has to move on too, he's been doing that gig for 35 years. Maybe you can write him a letter to tell him that you loved watching the show and going to miss him, it could help create an end for you, who knows maybe he'll write back. Chirstmas is hectic, maybe your parents didn't think it though before getting you a coloring book, it could of been a last minute thing, do don't be too bummed about chistmas.. It is best to not hide your feelings and to contront your parents about the way you feel in a serious manner. Sorry for your loses and hope you are able to cope with these issues soon. Good luck!
- last 2005 five i lost my dad he died of colon cancer...last year(2006) my brother had an acciednt and we had no money for his operation until now we are thinking how to have money coz he needs another operation...then just this january my granma died..and i'm only 17.... we just need to accept that things like that really happen... there are things in life we can't do anything about but to accept it... and we shou;d still be thankful of what we still have and cherish the moments left for them...always look at the brighter side of life....wellthere are also things that shouldn't be taken seriously...for example the gift you received..maybe next time you'll get a better one...be optimistic...stop thinking negatively...and hang out with ur good friends and enjoy life!!don't think much of the sad things...life is not always pleasing you know...that's the way life is..we have ups and downs..we face challenges not to fall but to be stronger!!so...be strong my friend!!! and try knowing Jesus Christ..faith helps a lot
- Sweetie, I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I'm so sorry about the lose of your grandmother too. Maybe you should do some activities like exercising. My family member suffers from depression too and she said that she walks, rides her bike, and does yoga. Studies show that exercise helps and it strengthens the spirit. Maybe you can also create a personal journal and write because writing really helps a lot. Maybe you can also do some activities that you are passionate about or try an activity that's new to you. Just ask yourself what activities make me feel good about myself and that are fun. If these depression symptoms seem to worsen, please seek a counselor and a psychiatrist. Also, talk to someone that is very close to you and that you feel like you can trust them. I hope you get better real soon and I hope the tears go away a little at a time! I will make sure to pray for you every night!
- It may sound cold and clinical but look into nutrition, especially the B vitamins. You know that the death of grand parents, the retiring of Bob Barker are events everyone contends with so there may be something weepy about your emotional equipment which might be remedied not by philosophy, religion or psychology but by nutrition. Also, if you have more energy you will go out and meet the world. The people of your past don't want you to freeze up on their account. You're supposed to build memories for people younger still to look up to! From all that you say there's really nothing at all wrong--look at it like that.
