“there’s always a first time and there’s always a last! “
Hey, I don’t like the second part of your sentence..;)
I do read the other threads but haven’t seen your poem. Where is it?
I wanted to take part in this game
But to my utter shame
The word ‘portion’ came out lame:(
But before you go and blame
Look – you’ve done the same!
Why, there’s an ‘n’ in my name…:)
Tomorrow’s Torah potion we’ll be laining
aries… Ouch. Correct me if I’m wrong. But I didn’t see it that way. On the contrary. I thought that two mature adults who know the ins and outs of both AND are talmidei chacomim will CIVILY debate this issue. I figured we’ll nominate people who DO respect and tolerate others. I don’t think there’s anything wrong in debating without bashing or calling names. I thought it was a nice thing… But again, maybe I’m wrong.
Always runs: Just to give you some chizuk. My sister’s in-laws kids were terribly wild. Especially one boy. One day, he heard his neighbor telling his son, “don’t play with Moishy. I don’t want you befriending such a wild boy.” He was very hurt. Time passed. Little Moishy grew up and turned into a great masmid and talmid chacham. As a bochur, he got a phone call. It was bein hazmanim and that neighbor who told his son not to be friends with him, BEGGED him to learn with his son – he’ll even pay him!
My cousin was also terribly wild (threw out the window crytal glasses etc.) and is now a dayan.
May this be the tzar gidul banim for you!
I think mod 80, WIY and Daas Yochid all qualify to represent the UO.
And if I may vote for the MO (although I’m not MO), I think charliehall would do a good job.
Can’t wait for the debate to start… Seems pretty exciting!:)
Princess: Wow. How powerful. Glad to see you decided to post your poems:)
Thanks 80. I greatly appreciate your sensible post.
Absolutely, WIY. Which is why she didn’t name any of her kids that.:)
My cousin had a grandmother named “Gela Beechel”. She says it’s “yellow pages”:)(Yiddish)
I admire your strength. You seem to be a solid stable person. Perhaps SHE doesn’t deserve that. Hopefully, your right zivug will.
Wow, that’s very painful, MP. I agree with AYC. I think you should focus on moving on with life, instead of worrying about HER future (which is nice of you…TOO nice IMHO). Good luck!
“unfortunatly that is not the case…there are too many examples of child molestors that are “ehrliche”.”
That’s right. I take back my first statement. After hearing yet another story of an “ehrliche” molestor, I see that there’s absolutely NO ONE we can trust. SIGH.
Good! So happy to hear. You can definitely do it along with your other treatment. She simply guides you on how to think positively and she gives you the tools to deal with life. And this is THE cure. Their service is WONDERFUL. They treat you with such respect (they called me up after a while to ask how it’s going…) Please keep me posted. Thanks!
Have a wonderful, peaceful and great Shabbos!
I think it does make a difference. Simply because, this goes to show that an ehrliche yid wouldn’t do anything like that. I think it can somewhat restore a bit of our trust in ehrliche Yidden.
Wow, sounds like a major challenge. But I don’t think it’s worth dying for, don’t you think? Why do you think you’ve got NOTHING to live for? Who’ll keep this thread alive??:)
The program is for depression as well, although it might night be sufficient enough. Perhaps you’ll also need a coach. But I’d suggest you try the program first.
Good night! Thanks for sharing your problem with us. Good luck! Hatzlacha with your new job! (Who knows, maybe it’ll be even better than the original one..)
Oh, no. I’m so sorry to hear that. If you’re really serious, GET HELP FAST! Call up your therapist. DO SOMETHING! Please, please, for your sake and for all of us…Get help. I hope the program will help you. And PLEASE keep us posted. You’re getting me REALLY worried! Let us know if you calmed down. Thanks. Good night. Sweet dreams (and a sweet life)!
Thanks for responding. I was beginning to get a bit worried… I really hope things will get better for you.
Here’s the info: It’s called The Midwest Center for
Stress & Anxiety. The founder is Lucinda Bassett and the Medical Director and co-founder is Phillip H. Fisher. The cost isn’t $800 (my mistake), it’s around $300-$400. You can visit them at http://www.stresscenter.com, or phone them at 1-800-944-9460. IIRC, there’s a return policy if you aren’t satisfied.
Good luck. Hope things will work out for you. Please let me know if there’s any change and if you ordered the program. Thanks! Hatzlacha Rabba MEOD!!
Princess: You’re very welcome. Glad it helped you!
blabla: How’s it going? Hope things are better by now. Still davening for you!
blabla: Glad to hear you calmed down. Although I truly care and daven for you (had you in mind while davening shacharis), I’m all of 18 years old. I’m not a certified therapist who deals with issues like yours. B”H, I’m stable, but I still struggle a bit with the remnants of my anxiety.
Fortunately, there are many, many good therapists out there who do know how to deal with this. All I can offer is chizuk, advice based on my experience, encouragement and compliment on your beautiful poems:)
What I WOULD suggest though is that you order the Program for Attacking Anxiety and Depression. It isn’t that expensive ($800) and it really really helps you get out of the depression – but you have to be willing to make a lot of changes and work real hard. If the CDs in itself don’t help, they can provide a coach. I can give you more info if you’re interested. Meanwhile, keep posting and keep strong!
blabla, I’m really off to bed now, but I had to respond to your poem. Firstly, it’s beautifully written (as are the others you wrote). Second, please remember that Hashem has NEVER and never will abandon you c”v. You’re his precious daughter who for some reason which we cannot fathom has to go through some hardship. Third, please get yourself the right tools to deal with the pain and your struggles. Listen to CDs that are comforting, empowering and soothing (I think you can get a heter to listen to music if it calms you). I listen to Lucinda Bassett director of the Midwest Center for attacking anxiety and depression whenever I’m stressed out or experiencing anxiety symptoms. (I will listen to them tonight since I had a small incident which made me really edgy. Thanks to her, I have the right tools to deal with everyday challenges.)
And last but not least, please do continue trusting people! Don’t follow everyone blindly, of course, but BELIEVE IN HUMANITY. Most people are nice and caring – just look at the comments above! Just because one rav betrayed you (not that I know what the matter is, so I can’t really judge) doesn’t mean you can’t trust ANYONE.
Good night, hope sleep will calm you somewhat…:) Hatzlacha rabba meod! Layla Tov.
Yeah, I meant this thread. I know what you mean about having a hard time writing when there’s a whole lot of emotions twirling around… Hope they’re joyous and happy emotions! At first, I didn’t either feel comfortable sharing my writing with people I don’t know, but being that I feel even MORE uncomfortable sharing it with people I DO know, I decided to put up my writing. So far, I didn’t regret it. Hope you change your mind!
blabla: Since I haven’t a clue as to what happened, all we can give you is support. But I think you should try getting guidance. Ask for help. I don’t just mean going to your therapist. Ask someone you truly trust what you should DO. Take action. Sitting over it makes you feel worse and makes the situation even more painful and helpless. I really hope things will get better. Please do let us know. I’ll continue davening for you.
Middle: Unbelievable. So encouraging! I wish I knew the tune… Thanks for posting this!
Thanks Princess:) I always loved poetry and never really left this thread – I always had to check out the new ones:)
I don’t really have the time to write although I do from time to time when I’m overflowing with emotions. How ’bout you? Haven’t seen you writing in here for some time…
CallMeDave: Amazing. I love the rhyming. Powerful.
Wow, ICOT. How inspiring. Thanks.
It sounds like you’re really lost. Why don’t you talk to a friend, mentor or anyone who cares with whom you can share your terrible “incident” (for lack of a better word)?
I don’t see why you can’t write another letter to Hashem. Write how absolutely mad you are. But please look for a solution to solve your problem. Meanwhile, I’ll daven for you. Hatzlacha.
Glad you’re back! Hope you’ll continue visiting the cr.
Okay then… I guess I don’t understand. But Hashem’s our Father, and He definitely understands your pain. Why don’t you write a letter to Him? I know it sounds crazy, but I did it when I felt no one understood. Write to Him how frustrated you are. Tell Him how upset and confused you are. Ask Him why He’s doing this. Just get it out of you. Good luck!
No. We should prevent anti-seimitism by making a kiddush Hashem by following the laws of the country and show that we are loyal and grateful to our malchus shel chessed.
And of course, use our powerful weapon: tefilla.
Hang in there, blabla. I know what it’s like… Please hold on tight! It’ll pass, believe me. You’re a sensitive, caring and good person. Keep strong. Hope things get better – SOON!
We’re in galus. We’re not allowed to revolt against the goyim. All we can do is daven and better ourselves so that moshiach should come.
Yossi, do you remember “ames”? If so, do you also remember why all of her posts were deleted?
huh?
Adorable, we miss you in here. Hope everything’s ok…(Any good news coming up?)
No one special: Good question. I stopped reading the texting on shabbos thread since I think it borders on apikorsus. I don’t really comment too often anymore, simply because the crowd in here has veered to the left and there really aren’t too many people who are part of the “Yeshiva World” anymore. (Most of them either left or are lurking.)
Quark: There’s something I don’t really understand. Why do you have the urge to get the approval of us frummies? Why do you post your views time and again hoping we will approve of your way of thinking? I, for one don’t need your approval. Which is why I refrained from contradicting you and try to “prove” that my point of view is right. But now, I’m just curious. Why do you care what we think or do? Why are you desperately trying to get us to tell you you’re right?
BTW, It’s amazing how the abnormal, unhappy, twisted frummies write with such dignity and respect while you seem to enjoy bashing them and calling names.
And for the record, I wasn’t always one of the “frummies”. And I can tell you it was THEN when I was unhappy, twisted and abnormal.
Don’t bother chein. It’s a waste of time. I’m sure there are more sensible people out there who appreciate your comments.
(btw, are you new here? Seems so, since looks like you don’t really know how things work in here:))
