Please get out of this situation as soon as possible.

If you are in the U.S/Canada/Europe call the cops first and they will guide you to government/family agencies and shelters that would help you get out.

Sorry to say this but your husband is a wimp or he is in some kind of shady arrangement with this friend.

God bless !

Hi Didi,

There is Nothing wrong with you !

You have identified your issue: “I have no self-esteem”. Low self-esteem usually develops in childhood when we are not given enough love/attention !!

Please read these 2 articles:

Inky, hats off to you – you have openly stated what everyone else knows about kids but will never say it!

Goona, you have come to a stage in life where your soul is demanding an “evaluation” – of where you have been and where you want to go next. You need to take some time off by yourself and think about this.

Also, here is the link to an article that might give you some insight:

Hi Irene,

I understand what you are feeling. Sometimes life can be hard and feel very heavy – we try to get ourselves up but fall down under the weight again!

Please know that these are tough phases of life that come upon some of us and seem to last forever. However, they do end! The key is not to give up on yourself!!

Also, being tired of living is a sign of major depression – here is the link to a short and simple article that will help:

Finally, here is the link to a song by Meredith Andrews that helped me – please listen it to it:

Hi N,

Please DO NOT even think about taking out an insurance policy/harming yourself for 3 simple reasons:

1) As Jasmine said, you do not know if you will end up in a worse place !
2) You do not want to put your parents through a traumatic event like that – the death of a child is the most traumatic experience for a parent. I have seen it up close and it destroys the parents completely !
3) I do not even want to state this but just to give you all the facts: Even if you took out an insurance policy, almost all insurance companies have a legal clause that they do not pay out money if they find out it was intentional.

I do not know how old you are but it does not matter – there have been people that went through hell and picked up the pieces and began a happy life at a late age. One of them is Louise Hay and she achieved success after age 50 after going through tough personal situations. She has a great book called ‘You can heal your life’ – here is the link to her website: http://www.louisehay.com/about-louise/

Also, here are two websites that have excellent information that can help with your parents:

I pray your Angels guide your way forward. GOD Bless !

Hi Switch,

Anxiety strikes at any age and is usually triggered by a life event/stressor. The good news is that lessens as time goes by and even goes away completely !

However, we have to take positive steps to deal with it. Here is a website that should help you:
