I am trying to pull myself and life together and make something of it.

Looks like you're doing a good job of it. (I think a cricket bat is better than a pan...in tight situations. )

Oh and is it any coincidence you used Font Georgia to post this?

And congratulations for your Dad.

Glad to hear things are going better. That is great that your dad is getting a job.

I always believed that you were able to pull off alone from your eat dissorder...Well, not alone. Anyone could do things alone. You are being supported by God, and this is not a minor helper, I think! I'm happy you searched a little help from our pastor. He could help you a great deal too.

I'm glad your dad is close to have a new job and that things seems to be improving in your life. We have some moments in our lives that all things seems to be wrong and then, little by little, they began to change from bad to good. Go ahead!!!! You are able to d whatever you want with God help.

Sorry stuff has been so bad.Good it's looking up now.Nice to see ya getting help and keeping trying. Good-luck,

So glad to hear that your dad may be getting the job with the police force!

As for the whole stressed-out-over-the-guys thing...Honestly, I think you're taking it way too seriously. Boys flirt (girls do, too - but that isn't the point right now) and if every girl took every boy's flirting seriously, they'd go crazy. And some boys are just really friendly, and it can come across as liking a girl if they aren't careful. Either way, I'd just relax, not worry about it, and enjoy being 16.

Any word on the Arby's position for you?

Oh! And borrow my pan any time you like.

I have to agree. I mean... this is the first time I hear of someone having panic attacks at night due to guys flirting with them. Really? Maybe it would be good to talk to your pastor so he can have a talk with all the 20 year olds in church that are after you. There is no need to suffer so much when you talk to the right people

On the other stuff, I'm glad you are doing better.

I agree with the wise ladies.

The pressures and stress has caused me to lose a lot of sleep, then to where I couldn't even sleep and would get panic attacks at night that were terrible. Now I am MAKING myself go to bed earlier, no matter how much I hate it. I try to get in bed around 11:00-11:30 PM.

I was meaning pressures of life, not the guys so much. Like the money issues.

I'm happy for you and your family that your dad may be getting this new job, Julia.

I agree with everything Savannah has said, and especially this.

Good said, Savannah. When one is a teen, sometimes we can mistake a simple request of friendship with a more serious thing. It's pretty common that boys of that age uses to flirt. If you takes every single flirt as a real request of love you'll be totally stressed about it!

Vanesa.

Haha, I totally understand about the flirting thing. I get that alot. Argh! But I have had many tell me they like me. But I that part is just like 10% of the stress issues. The rest are many other things. Like one big thing is that I am nervous about getting older and kind of miss being younger.

Being a teen can be a crazy and stressful time. I know my son gets stressed because so many changes are heading his way. I know it's difficult not to, but try not to stress about things such as the financial issues. We've been there, and the last thing I've wanted was for my kids to worry about it because their dad and I were handling it. It does get better. Some of my favorite memories are from my teen years, even though there were times I worried so much about everything changing.

Well, it's normal. Teen age is the moment in which you are always wandering about things, making up theories about life and worrying over petty things. I can say it, for I was this way when I was a teenager myself. I also used to wander if it was better to be older or younger...Hehehe. It's a typical thing!

Geeze I will trade you for all the male attention. I get none, lol.
