    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!!!

    In 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!

    always runs with scissors- I know they weren’t only asking me. It was a question asked to each patient. And I almost gave that answer but was too nervous about the consequences lol.

    always runs with schissors- I’m seconding what deiyezooger said. 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!

    ummmm 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.

    I 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.

    Thanks 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.

    @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.

    I’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!

    I 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.

    Rednails, 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.

    I 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:(

    I 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.

    I 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.

    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:)

    Yossi, 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!!

    Jakyweb- “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.
