Hi, Half my holidays are gone and it just hit me today.I have to study to get good grades.when I say good grades I mean that my family expects me to top everytime.It gets really tough.I often buckle under this stress.Now I am tense as hell and if I could concentrate i could do it but i am so nervous that I am just walking about all day like someone high on drugs and get no study done. Can anyone help me?

I love my boyfriend, but I still get attracted to other people. This is okay, we have an open relationship, so this is allowed. But whenever I have the choice of being with him, or flirting with other people, I always seem to choose the latter, and feel like it would be boring to just go back and be with him. I know this is silly, because I really enjoy his company, he's anything but boring, no one else compares to him in terms of sex and kissing etc. I just seem to feel the need to be slutty and flirt with everyone in sight. Most of the time he doesn't mind this, but the other night i really hurt him - he came over when we were out at Rock Soc, I had spent the night flirting and making out with people, and he'd been djing, and he'd finished his set - he tried to get me to come and spend time with him, and I said something along the lines of 'I can spend time with you whenever I want' and went off to flirt some more. I feel really guilty.

I currently broke up with a girl that I dated since I met on the first day of college. We always had a great time, we never argued. I love her more then anything in the world. At first she really didn't talk to me much after we broke up because she was mad at me. I messed up because I was scared that I didn't know what I wanted. Now I have been dating another girl that I met at school for 5 months. The feelings that I have for this new girl do not even come close to what I feel for my ex. Lately my ex and I have been talking about getting back together because we think we can work things out and that I can be there for her and not get freaked out. I just don't know how to tell my current girlfriend how I feel without breaking her heart. Any sugestions?

Well, I got drunk for the second time in my life tonight, and the experience was the polar opposite of the last one. I only had four drinks, but I was going on no food all day, so I ended up throwing up, THREE times. I think I was pretty close to needing to be hospitalized at one point. If somebody wanted to assault me at that party there is nothing I could have done to stop it. Alcohol is dangerous. It's not cool, it's not funny, it's not okay. It's a poisonous drug that affects one's judgment and ability to reason. I am an intelligent and moral person, but you wouldn't know it judging by some of the decisions I made tonight. I am done with alcohol. It is not conducive to making a difference in the world, to loving, to being compassionate, to being spiritually aware. I don't need this negativity. Too bad I had to learn the hard way, but hey, at least I learned.

last year my car need some work doing on it so i borrowed my dads BMW because he was out of the country on business for a few months. i went to visit a friend and met his neighbour who is a single mum. i told her i was a banker and loads more lies convincing her i was rich. i used to bring her kids mcdonalds and her presents and stuff. she told me she loved me and that she was really lucky to find a guy like me. but i did all this just to sleep with her and when i did i never went round again my friend had moved by this time. i feel bad in a way but in another i don't care. if she didn't think i was rich the bitch wouldn't have looked twice at me.

Animal rights activists drive me up the wall!!! there forever whinging about animal testing in medicine and how it shouldn't be done ect. but the day they need medical treatment that was only made possible through the evils of animal testing they'll be queuing up like the rest of us, strangely silent when it is them directly benefiting.

Me and my girl broke up and Im not sure why I miss her so much, I mean I love her and all but I think that I just miss her company more than anything else shes my bestfriend and the physical attraction is still there so im kinda confused wether i should just move on and try to be with someone else Ive slept with other women since the break you know to try to take my mind off her but I still think about her and another thing is that we know alot of the same people girls mainly and she asked me not to talk to any of them and I told her I would think about it but theres this chick she used to work with that likes me and I wanna see where it can go I dont think Im wrong but thats becuase Im kinda selfish. well let me know your oppinions

While I'm admitting, I might as well mention that I'm also disgustingly vain. Really, it's embarrassing. Again, a quality that makes me want to puke when I see it in others, but I just can't help it. I am obsessed with my weight, and the fact that my illness and medication has slowed down my metabolism is driving me apeshit. I'm not obese by a longshot, but I feel like I might as well be. And I can't help but think that the reason I'm so bloody alone is because I'm too ugly to be bothered with. I'm even convinced the reason this 'friend' of mine just completely bailed on me is because he realised upon seeing me next to younger, prettier girls with better bodies, that he could do a lot better than me. And who could blame him? I'm not even 40 and already I look like a dumpy old lady, not to mention I'm probably going to be dead before I'm 37. Who the hell needs that?
