happiestMember
B”H I went to my Dr today. He calmed me down a lot and I am now feeling a lot better and much more confident in myself. I am still not going back on my meds or to my therapist- we are going to give it a two week period to see how things go when I am distracted. If this doesn’t help then we will discuss going back to my therapist for a couple of weeks.
Anyway, just wanted to keep you updated and to thank everyone who gives me continued support through these somewhat shaky times!!!
happiestMemberIn the Country Yossi magazine there is an ad for a lawyer that specializes in immigration issues among other things. If you would like me to find you the number, just let me know.
Good luck!

happiestMemberatt, the blackberry torch. Battery life isn’t too great though.

Although, I did not mean what I said in jest I do realize now that it can be very hurtful for someone to say that. I am sooo sorry for saying it and wish I could take it back!!! Please forgive me!

I mean a real one. #781562happiestMemberummmm always runs with scissors- when I was in the hospital and they were distributing meds they would always ask us if we were seeing things that others couldn’t see or hearing things that others couldn’t hear. I’m pretty sure that your situation would fall under the seeing things that others can’t see and I’d get it checked out if I were you.
happiestMemberSorry mod, I was a little strong in my post (that I assume) caused the ‘why is it hidden’ thread to be closed. It is just something that I feel very strongly about. Didn’t mean to cause any issues!!!
Thanks for moding so carefully!!!
happiestMemberWell then adorable, we’re in competition cuz it looks like I’m winning:)
happiestMemberI am talking about child/ sexual abuse.
Daas, because one magazine wrote a series of articles about it and because there are ads in some newspapers doesn’t make it a KNOWN and talked about thing in our communities.
It is still hidden, parents still do not talk about it with their children. Many still do not believe their children when the children approach them with ‘situations’ that have happened to them. It is brushed off and thrown on a back burner.
happiestMemberpopa, I listened to the speech. It was very interesting! I now have many questions to ask Dr Sorotzkin and will try to contact him further.
Thanks!!
happiestMember@klach- please don’t joke about something like that. I know many people who really do suffer with suicidal thoughts and they do not find it amusing at all.
Thanks:)
happiestMemberThanks popa- you’ve given me something to think about. I am going to listen to that speech right now, iy”H.
I really do wonder which came first- the chemical imbalance or the “issue”?! It’s definitely an interesting thing to think about.
happiestMember@popa- interesting. I was under the impression (someone told me this, forgot who though) that if they would do a cat scan of my brain when I was deep in my mental health issues, before I was medicated, there would be some differences with my brain than with someone else who didn’t have these mental health issues brain.
What kind of traumas can you be talking about? I’m pretty sure that nothing traumatic has happened to me in my life, b”H. My parents are married… it’s an ok marriage. Yes, I’ll be the first to admit not amazing but definitely ok. We never had much money but I remember never being told no when it came to something that I needed… I’m wondering what other sort of trauma there could be in ones lifetime.
Thanks for answering btw.
happiestMember@klach- for real?!?!?!?
happiestMemberThanks klach. I definitely hear that they have an achrayus to the yeshiva!
@popa- I don’t have a therapist right now and am wary about going back to one but I am ok b”H, I will manage without one:)
happiestMember@klach- would they speak to a women too? Or do they only speak to the boys in the yeshiva?
happiestMemberI know someone who made a wedding in Yankee stadium… actually, I don’t know the person personally but I know someone who went to the wedding.
She said it was beautiful and very well done!!
happiestMemberI’ve spoken to numerous people. In hs I was very close with a teacher of mine. 2 or 3 years ago a Rabbi who is just a great person and knows a lot about life. He got very busy which made it hard for me to contact him. Recently, I spoke to a local Rav that many people recommended that I speak to. He is very down to earth (like wasn’t surprised by what I told him even though they were intense things) and did not make me uncomfortable. I am so thankful to all the people who have and still help me make the right choices in my life!
happiestMemberIt’s funny, I was a looker on back then, didn’t post but I remember all of the ‘old timers’.
happiestMemberThanks gefen… still debating whether I’d put up anything ‘major’ like that again but for now I will tell you that I feel much better right now. No, I am not having mood swings; I am just dealing better with my not amazing situation.
Thanks e/o for caring so much!! You can’t imagine how much it means to me!!!
happiestMemberI posted this in the wrong thread before…
Aren’t we the ones who complain about our young kollel couples that rely on us to pay for their needs on a daily basis? I think the answer to that would be to let the teens earn money and put it away for important times.
I worked since I was 12 or 13 so that I could pay for my year in seminary. It worked, I had enough saved up for that and spending money.
happiestMemberI would give as much as I could to (Jewish/frum) mental health organizations that are so helpful to many people.
happiestMemberTerrace on the Park, expensive though.
happiestMemberRednails, I am thinking that you can ask previous employees what it was like working there and from how they answer and what they answer you can usually get a clear picture of what is going on in a work setting. In general, I think you should ask around about it.
happiestMemberOh… sorry for the miscommunication (again). Seems like I’m doing a lot of that today:(
happiestMemberRednails- I could be wrong about this but if you’re already asking this question, are you sensing that there is a problem or something fishy going on?
happiestMemberThanks mod.
Just to clarify again- I am not stupid enough to rely on the cr (although I love you all:) for advice in a situation like this.
@klach, ur right!!happiestMemberThanks all.
It was a mistake of me to post this here. I was getting too comfortable with posting.
Thanks mod for the reassurance.
I will try not to post anything of the sensitive kind here.
Thanks again and I apologize!!
happiestMemberbtw- it’s not this site that is the issue. It’s a completely diff site.
happiestMemberSorry folks. Didn’t realize that it would be an issue posting that here. Will ask for the mods to remove it immediately.
happiestMemberI don’t know if this is the same thing but I have a really guilty conscience. I feel bad for people who don’t deserve to be felt bad for. Like I had to work really hard to not feel bad for Anthony Wiener, that he caused it upon himself etc. I have to work hard not to feel bad for people who deservedly are in jail (murderers) and then I go thru this feeling guilty stage that they are in jail. It’s pretty sad on my part:(
June 21, 2011 12:57 am at 12:57 am in reply to: Which large appliance dealers are reasonable with good cust service? #778765happiestMemberThere’s a place in the 5towns- maybe it’s called 5towns appliance. Have never used them but I’m assuming they’re good.
happiestMemberHaaa, deiyezooger- I am so not talented like that. I am not creative at all like that. I always wished I could open a really good thread after I see the threads that posters open here but I don’t know. They never seem to dawn on me until it’s dawned on someone else first lol.
But you def have gotten me to laugh tonight so thanks!!
happiestMemberThanks icot! In a couple of days the rest of my family will be off so I will be distracted by other people being around. I’m actually fighting the real problem. I think I have a problem with meds but don’t want to have the problem so am just trying to ignore it. Hopefully, that’ll help and it’s really just boredom. (I know this post makes no sense- my mind is in shambles)
happiestMemberThanks. You’re all right, it’s a hard day. Not a bad day.
It was just hard cuz I let my brain rot away today. I don’t have work at the moment (for the next 2 wks) so it will be a little hard not doing anything with my time.
I’m ok though!!!
Thanks!
happiestMemberI totally don’t mean this in a negative or ridiculing way. I am asking it out of being naive or just not understanding.
What is wrong with going into a public library? Because there are people who aren’t dressed according to halacha (which you will get in any supermarket or mostly any store for that matter) or is it that there can be inappropriate books there? If that is the reason, why can’t you just skip looking at those books and stick with the appropriate ones? Again, I am asking this question out of not understanding, not out of ridiculing.
happiestMemberI think feeling emb or ashamed to eat in public is so eating disordered thinking. I had an eating disorder a buncha years ago and they say once you have one you can never really get rid of it. Well, I see it is very true when it comes time for me to eat in public. It is still hard for me to, I do do it at times but I still get emb doing it.
June 19, 2011 2:09 am at 2:09 am in reply to: Are you allowed to buy cut up fruits in a non jewish store? #778550happiestMemberI was told that I was not allowed to buy cut up fruit from a store without a hechsher because there is always the possibility of the person cutting the fruit to use that same knife on his ham sandwich too.
happiestMemberThank you everyone for commenting. E/t you all have said means the world to me. It amazes me to know that people that I’ve never met care so much about me and my situation.
Hashem should bless each and every single one of you with an abundance of brachos and tova!!
Thank you again:)
happiestMember@pascha bchochma and deiyezooger- thank you!!
@smartcookie- thanks for telling me that. I love hearing of ‘success stories’. It makes me realize that it really is possible for me to get there one day, iy”H.
I’ve also learned a great deal about myself from my experiences. One thing that I just realized I learned was that I’ve become very very thankful for so many things around me. I’ve come to appreciate things so much more than before. It is such a good feeling:)
happiestMemberThank you for fixing the app. It now looks normal again.
Gut shabbos!
happiestMemberIs anyone else having the problem of the headlines being cut off or starting mid sentence and having random lines in the middle of the headlines or parenthesis everywhere on the homepage of ywn app?
It’s happened since last night and I can’t seem to correct it with redownloading the app.
Anyone?
happiestMemberI have this problem too. I don’t think there is anything to do about it!
happiestMemberWait, Yossi. I’m so confused. Where you going all of a sudden? I hope e/t is ok!!
happiestMemberTry Bayswater. That’s where you’ll for sure find in your pricerange!!
happiestMemberYossi, there are 2 Beach 12th’s. Beach 11th is off the Beach 12th that is NOT by Neilson. Actually, it’s off Plainview and Seagirt but rt near the 2nd Beach 12th.
Here’s the issue. I’m assuming that the landlord is asking more than that since he just upped all the rents on the block by a pretty penny.
I don’t have his number but I’ll give you his name. He lives in Brooklyn if that helps at all, his name is Rabbi Jacob Savitsky.
Another drawback is that he eventually wants to sell the entire block but he’s having trouble selling the one house he put up for sale. This is a drawback because all of the people living on the block don’t know what their fate is; whether he will evict them in 2 months or 2 years is the question.
I’m going to ask around and find out about more rentals for you though. I’ll post when I hear! GOODLUCK!!
happiestMemberTry on Beach 11th Street and also, sign up for the 5towns yahoo group. They’re are always advertisements on there!
happiestMemberyossi, move to Far Rock. We have the ‘A’ train here. It’s not to cheap though but there are def apartments and basements around. Good luck!
happiestMemberRabbaim, there’s a place in Lawrence although if you’re saying that Hewlett is inconvenient then Lawrence is probably too.
happiestMemberJakyweb- “Next women are not allowed near the gravesite when their loved ones are being buried.”- this is a chassidish minhag. I wasn’t supposed to go to the kevura of my grandfather, a”h but we ended up going anyway, we got special permission to go but not everyone goes because of minhagim, not necessarily tznius reasons.
