Anonymous asked: I was sent home from college last semester because I was too depressed and suicidal to continue. Now my mother is holding me from going back because she's afraid it's going to happen again. The reality is that college was a very healthy place for me because my mother has severe moodswings and can be emotionally abusive when she is not being supportive. How do I convince her to allow me to go back? I'm miserable at home.

I can’t tell you exactly when I don’t know your mother, but try to tell her that you think it is best for you since it would be going forward? Try to explain to her that it would be a way for you to get back on track and help you rather than hurt you.

Anonymous asked: My mum may be dying. My dad tells me next to nothing except that, and he expects me to just deal with that on my own, and not show a sliver of emotion to my mum. It's tearing me up from the inside. Also, my dad has a heart condition. I have a little brother, and if anything was to happen to my parents, I'm all he's got. I'm terrified, and I don't know what to do. I tried explaining this to my father, but he just brushed me off. Just needed to tell someone. Thank you for being here <3

It’s probably that your father is afraid as well, especially if the woman if he lies may be dying. His form of coping could be to try and pretend it doesn’t exist. I’m sorry though, and hope for the best for you and your family.

Anonymous asked: None of my friends is available now, so I'm coming to you. My ex-boyfriend texted me last night, but I deleted his number and didn't know it was him, so I made the mistake of answering. He seems to have taken this as a sign that I actually want to talk to him despite the fact that it didn't end well. He wants to see me again and despite being a raging bitch to nearly everyone, I don't have the heart to tell him to fuck off. I just need someone to tell me not to see him. Thanks.

If you don’t want to see him, don’t see him. Better that than allow him to think you want to.

Anonymous asked: I really want to start cutting myself off from people. It would be so much easier if they didn't worry about me so much, and I didn't have to tell them things. I really wonder if I can maintain a friendship with them but pull all of problems out of it. I think it'd be healthier for me, but I don't know if I can pull it off.

If that makes you more comfortable, try telling them that. If they’re your friends, they should understand.

Anonymous asked: I would never actually voice my opinion. I...I'm much to shy for that, and I tend to always try to be nice to people--no matter what. Honestly, its more of the fact that I know she won't care about the kid. I mean, I've known her for a while and she's very self centered and never tried to do anything for anyone else. I just... I don't know. I shouldn't be so invested in this. I feel like a terrible person for even caring.

Don’t feel like a horrible person for caring. You can’t control what others do, as bad as those things may be, unfortunately.

Anonymous asked: So, I'm a freshman in High School. There's this girl who is 3 months pregnant. She just announced it, and the father is a Junior... besides the fact that it's illegal, is it completely wrong to be horrified? For one this she cheated on her girlfriend with him, and for another she's 15! She can't provide a stable home or anything. Everyone is saying congratulations and how strong she is, I feel like I'm the only one who just wants to knock some sense into her. Is it wrong to feel this way?

Well I can’t tell you it’s wrong, because that’s your own moral ground, but I would just not voice it if I were you. I know a lot of people my age or younger than me who already have children, and most of the time their parents will help them provide for the child. They are fully aware of what effect this is on their lives from now on, and they don’t need someone to tell them. Being non-judgmental and congratulating them makes them feel a bit better about the situation, which will be better for both them and their child.

Anonymous asked: Not here for any help today, but I want you to know that this blog here is wonderful. I love how you give people someone to talk to. I'd give you a hug, but I'm weird and awkward and even an internet hug is just too much human interaction for me.

I’m not a hugger myself, so that’s fine. Thank you. :D

If that anon needs someone to talk to (if they have the same fandoms too) I’m friendly. Awkward but friendly.

Anonymous asked: Thanks. It's just everytime I begin a conversation I talk about something like the weather or make a lame joke which leads to awkward silence. I read posts about people saying this fandom is so nice and this fandom takes care of its members, but all I've been is used and abused. I keep questioning why I can't fit in. I was shy in school and bullied. Online hasn't been much better, honestly. Thank you for listening to my problems.

Fandoms are cruel, much like cliques in school. You just have to try and find someone who is out of that bubble that you are comfortable with.
