I think I have the potential to be smart, quick witted, pretty, kind, generous & loveable. But, lack the ambition. I am overly sensitive and care how others view me. I tend to take things too seriously and feel them too deeply. I'm overly empathetic and try to block out painful emotions with humor and self-deprecation. I am a giver and a pleaser. I have pride in myself and sometimes consider myself above average, although I constantly suffer from low self esteem. My current life is like a vinyl record with the needle stuck...playing static over and over. I can't get over being a JW and I'm tired of being an ExJW. I feel like I am waiting for someone to hand me another life. I sometimes think subconsciously, my JW self is sabotaging things. I wasn't disfellowshipped but, I feel like I have disfellowshipped myself. The dissapointment, finger-pointing and judgemental attitude that my former friends showed toward me leaving has effected me a lot. I have tried "letting loose" ... becoming "worldly" or "heathenistic" but, there is alway some sort of old jw restraint warring in my head.

In trying to answer the question (What Do You Think About Yourself???)..I just realized that I probably could write pages of incoherient drivel that no one cares about anyway.

Either I would be thinking too much of myself or not enough about myself. I also realize that I am totally miserable when my focus turns inward and contentedly happy when my focus turns outward towards others. My codependent nature was sickly satiated as a witness. Until I find another dysfunctional person or group to latch onto I will continue to wallow in my self-pity... searching for someone or something else to define me.

Scared of what will happen..

by theredhead in

even though i have been reasured that they are both very common, i am still scared.

i am having a laparoscopy and a leep.

the leep is to remove cervical cancer, and the lap is to look at my repoductive organs and all the stuff.

Ms. Whip

Hi red,

My thoughts are with you. I have had both of those done around your age too. Although, I was nervous too everything turned ok. Try not to dwell on anything negative, I know it's difficult. Everything will be fine. I took 800mg of Ibuprofen before the procedure (ask your nurse or doctor). Try relaxing breathing if you are nervous. Become informed as to why you are having this done and what exactly they will do. That will lesson the anxiety. The positive things are that you are very young and that you are being taken care of. If you are told you need a hysterectomy (as I was) get a second and third opinion. If your pelvic pain is caused by fibroids just know that as much as 80% of all women have uterine fibroids. Your abnormal pap smear could indicate that you have HPV (human papillomavirus) which is a virus that as much as 75% of sexually active men and women have or have had in their lifetime. The procedures you are having are to find out what is causing the cell changes in your cervix and the pain in your pelvis. You may have some discharge afterwards and some cramping. This is normal. As far as getting back to work that shouldn't be a problem. Just don't overdo anything.

Here's a little information about the procedure:

Do you REALLY want to know?

by serendipity in

is it important for you to know how many sexual partners your love interest had before you would consider him/her for a long term relationship, leading to marriage?

why would that info be important to you?.

that's a question i don't think i'd ask, or answer.

Ms. Whip

No, it's not really important for me to know how many sexual partners someone has had before we dated. But, for a committed relationship...honesty is important. For me to open up and trust someone completely....they would have to feel they could trust me completely. If they felt they had to hide that part of themselves from me, I don't think I could handle that. I guess it comes partly from feeling betrayed by the witnesses. I just don't want anything hidden. Lay all your cards on the table and let me decide whether or not I want to take the hand. You can hide the details or how they made you feel. But, be straight & open with me. I can take it...plus, I'll feel more at ease to do the same.

my first choice from her first audition was miss katherine mcphee. she is drop dead gorgeous. she could pose for playboy in a heartbeat. her singing is flawless. it seems being perfect comes easy for her...she doesn't have to try hard. that's her downfall. she doesn't have any flaws. without flaws there doesn't seem to be character...without character we lose interest. except when she's on screen of course lol.

america likes to vote for the underdog. so we keep bucky & kevin. for a little while.

but, in the end...we want to look cool.

I thought Taylor was very strong and would sweep it. Taylor slipped last night.

Chris has been consistent. I think he has taken over the competition.

america is tired of wimpy idols. we got soul & we are ready to rock.

my prediction. chris & taylor...top two.
