Post by: Ceric on June 26, 2006, 07:09:30 PM
Anybody Know of a good place to go when you just need to talk.  Things have gone from the regular bad to worse for me and I need someone to talk to that's not my wife and I can't afford a shrink.

Some form of self-help group?

Here in BC (or it might be Canada wide) there's some sort of free help phone thingy.  They advertise it a lot on the radio.  Check your phonebook and see if there's anything like that in your area.

Do you have a best friend that you can confide in?

You can always visit your local bar, have a few drinks and open up to whomever sits next to you.

The pub?

If you're not old enough to get into a pub you can always ring 1800 55 1800 to get the Kid's Help Line

Or hey, why not talk about it at the Planet Gamecube Forums. I hear it's where PGC readers go to bitch about everything.

I say call Unclebob, I'm pretty sure he's willing to listen since he put his e-mail and ph # in every post he has made for who knows how many years.

Thanks.

Getting frustrated at how no matter what I seem to be doing its not enough.  I'm on my 5th activish job and Calculus 2.  Calculus keeps beating me every year like a psycho with a 2 by 4.  1 of my jobs is only once a week and 1 is however many hours I want to work (newest one), one has a none fix schedule that is always in the right place to mess things up, the other two just don't have any work for me like they said they would.   The newest one pays better then my other consistent job but I can't quit my other one because I have to make sure that I'll have enough hours come Fall when budgets change.  Not to mention my Mom claimed me as a depended and so even though last year I made below the poverty line Uncle Sam had me pay taxes this year.  I was going to get a refund till my changed her tune and claimed me as a dependent.  I haven't lived at home for years now it's getting old.  I'm 1 in major class away from graduating, yay, but I am 3 Math courses away, including Calc2, boo.  Which is frustrating.  There is no major like mine so switching at this point would be like starting over with a minor.  My new Wife is out of School and works at Walmart.  She said she fine a second job or better job to help out but hasn't yet.  It's been over half a year.  I pay almost all the common bills, she pays for cable.  The idea was she pay off her credit cards and then take more responsibility.  That hasn't happened at all.  She never has any money even though she has almost always made more.  Whats up with that?

I'm also frustrated because F-Zero, MP2, and Battalion Wars doesn't work right on my  Cube and the Trap of Madness in GoW is terrible you have to be at the certian magical point after doing a repetive task to make a jump type of thing.  These are minor compared to above but it all adds up.

Calculus is a bitch...I've been through Calc twice now and STILL don't understand what I'm doing. ... I mean, I'd love to help... just need a textbook and a scanner first.

Maybe w should start a Wii fund for him, not a GC one though?

Aww, that sucks.  I used to know calculus, but real life hasn't demanded very much of it from me, so I'm afraid I'm not much help there.

Actually the only reason I haven't responded is that I didn't know what to say.  Thank you all for your support.  Also I've gotten a few days off and have been a little under the weather which is why I've been around more.  Though the downside is that my last 2 quizzes in Calc 2 has been 50's because I can't seem to concentrate.  Uncle Sam now wants 22 more dollars.  For goodness sake why can't they just stop.  I've just totally lost control of the situation.  Well I've got a week to get things in line for my midterm, which it works out that I actually have my days off at Sears those days .  So things are falling to place to become "Manageable" or less overwhelming.  I asked my Boss at my flexible job if he could guarentee me 20hrs a week during fall.  If he can then I'm dropping Sears and that will help a lot.  As I said thanks for the support.  I really appreciate it.

Edit:  I just got a 100 on my last quiz.  I'm on the road to recovery.  Hallelujah!

Good job with the quiz man!

You know I decided not to go to college and things are working out pretty well for me so I can't relate too much on that front. But when really bad things do happen to me, it always helps me to remember that I could have it much much worse. You see those specials on the discovery channel about the poor kids all around the world who barely have anything to eat, and death is right around the corner. I see alot of "make a wish" kids every day, and it breaks my heart to know that most wont live to see there next birthday. Me and you Ceric, we have big money problems every now and then. But you know what, we can get right up and move on from there, cause unless your dead or missing all your limbs theres always a way!

My life seems to go super well most of the time, and  I figure if one is super good to everyone around them(even the jerks) and not amazingly picky about whats in their life, fortune will follow you left and right.
