Hi all. As you know we all have problems, small, big, scary, whatever. Facing these problems can be very hard and difficult. Whether it is friends, family or just your own, it need to be solved. Now when you have to face a really scary problem which cannot be solved and can eventually cause a death, what will you do and how will you handle it?

Life can be cruel in alot of ways. But how we are raised to handle adversity shows how we handle life when it throws a curve at us. I'm sure most have been taught the phrase "man up", or "get up, dust yourself off and keep going". Well that's some of the things i was told growing up. But at the same time, if something is too much for one to handle on his/her own they should be able to ask for help or guidence to see them throught the situation. I may still be a lil young but i've learned that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.

Getting up is not the problem sweetie, it is trying to stay up after that. Thanx. TATA.

Oh dear Saphy! This is scary. What is it that causes you to fear so much? I have a few fears of my own. They may or may not happen. Chances are 50:50. But I do waste a lot of time thinking about them. :) Share it, find a good friend, and do something about it. I definitely will not bottle up.

Hi Saphy~ You are not sick are you? Is someone in your family ill? Can I help you? Do you need to talk? When I am facing stuff, I come here to my friends, as I think you have seen already! I talk to my friends at home or I just freak out myself, which is when I'm really terrified. I'm sure I'm not helping at all. Since I'm responding from email I have no idea what's going on, which is typical for me! Hugs and blessings, Opal

Every problem has a solution---no matter what----you would find a way out.One big line drawn infront of the current line(your serious problem) would make it smaller.So use your brains and give it your best short and leave your fear behind

hi dear...no jokes this time from me.. i've been in a situation that was real scary too. we do know that everybody is different at handling things and everybody's situation is different. but during that scary time for me, the only advise that kept me sane was: 1. don't handle it alone. two is always stronger than one. 2. always keep a straight head. decisions made while emotional are often regrettable. 3. there is always someone who you know right now who loves you for you. find that someone, and stay anchored. hope it makes sense. it did for me, and it helped me keep a handle of things through some terribly difficult times..

Hi there saph! Let me say welcome back! It seems like you were not around for the last couple of days. You know, everyone of us has a problem. It is just a matter of how we are going to face it. Of course we should do something to solve it. When the problem is too big or too complicated, it's not advisable to keep it just to yourself, it should be shared and told to people whom you were trusted, like family, close friends and relatives. It's good to hear other opinions and suggestions regarding your problem. Don't just keep and handle it alone coz your mind is too stressed and you might end up to a bad decision. I am not a good adviser but I suggest you to seek other's advise. Hey saph, you can do it, you are a very tough girl. Just stay calm and analyze the problem well and make an effective and fair decision. Good luck to you and I really hope that your problem will be solved. Take care!
