    bpt – why do you give $100 if the boy is working. I would give the opposite. The learning need the money much more. And besides, it might even be a mitzvah of supporting torah learning.

    I’m so sorry to hear how many people are going through this, right her in this coffee room especially.

    I strongly advise you all to read the books I recommended on my previous post. I honestly think it can do you a world of good. Hatzlacha. Know Hashem is with you and you can get out of it. Daven, Daven, Daven… that’s the key.

    I leaned, halachically since nowadays we are doing the mitzvah for other reasons, it does not have to be in a hefker place, if you think you will never be able to do this mitzvah again.

    It used to be people would eat the birds, and therefore it would have to be in a hefker place. In some places it is so hard for this mitzvah to come by, we are supposed to go according to the most lenient psak, which means in this case you would not have to make the area hefker.

    What it means when it says you have to chance upon it is: you cannot raise birds to lay eggs and then do the mitzvah of shiluach hakan. It has to be just found.

    Just a tip: make sure it’s the mother that your shooing away and not the father, otherwise you’re not yotzei the mitzvah. Some birds like the dove and pigeon to be exact, the father lays on them during the day, and the mother only comes at night.

    I hope I was of help to you, and if you have any other questions I will be happy to assist you if I can. (We learned these halachos in Great depth.) Tizku Lmitzvos.

    Blabla, I really fell for you. I suffered terribly from an eating disorder and it took a long and hard journey to get over it.

    The most important part of my recovery process was having a mentor, a nutrionist whom i felt comfortable with, and a psychologist whom I liked very much as well.

    I believe you have the strength to do what it takes. Hang in there darling.I have some psychologists and nutritionists which I feel can be of help if I knew the area you lived in. It would also be my pleasure to help you myself if you can get in touch with me.

    I feel all your pain, and hope you get out of this rut real soon.

    Just two books I strongly recommend which helped me tremendously are:

    1- Life without Ed – how one woman declared independence from her eating disorder and how you can too. written by Jenni Schaefer

    2 – The rules of normal eating. written by Karen R. Koenig
