The best cheap ass wine comes from Fred Meyer. Just called House Wine, label looks like it was scribbled on with a Sharpie.

I was a temp, but this was a different job I had setup after that position ended (like it did on Monday). It seems that every single time I hit a job where I mesh properly with my boss and coworkers, and it's something I really want to do, someone just swoops in and takes it all away. This is the 4th time it's happened to me. I was so excited, i even went and got my hair done yesterday so i could go in this afternoon looking great, and it was all for nothing ![hmm](//assets.modelmayhem.com/images/smilies/hmm.png)

I'm just getting very overwhelmed again, I guess. I'm getting sucked down into those negative thoughts, and they keep feeding on themselves, growing. Just knowing that I have you all rooting for me helps. I will try to keep that in my mind when I get deep down into this dark place I am in. I don't mean to ignore anyone, I just isolate myself hardcore when I feel like this. I love you all edit: I just want to add that this now proves that this board helps. I posted here about how bad I am feeling, even while I am trying to hide it from everyone else. Who knows, if I did not have this place to do it, I may have continued to hold it all in, pretending everything was fine. Natasha, You know the whole gang is here for you. I know that you're going through a pretty tough low right now. You can pull through and out of it. I know you can. Gang, she's still having a rough time of it so please stick with Natasha right now.

I can't get a job, I'm hundreds of pounds in debt, I have a stupid amount of work for university. I don't have money to buy anything, not even food at the moment. I've got tins and pasta ect at least. I have to afford traveling to all these shoots I have planned but I don't know how on earth I'm going to do it. Most of my friends have moved abroad as part of the course we're doing, I'll be joining them in October but still. I'm really lonely and there aren't exactly many opportunities here for me to go out and make more friends. The few friends I do still have in North Wales are all, like me, working their asses off so we don't have a lot of time to hang out. I live alone with a crappy internet connection and almost no phone signal. My parents and brothers are 7-8 hours train/car ride away in Southern England, and the rest of my family are in Spain. I feel really cut off from everyone I love. I'm only at uni in North Wales because the stupid exam system I was on while in secondary school lost every single exam I had done from the ages of 17-18 and all evidence I had even taken any of these exams. I lost my place at Cardiff university, I was going to study Spanish and Japanese, they wouldn't take me on "predicted grades" so I had to go with my second choice which is here. I'm not happy, but i'm half way through finishing this degree and it would be an awful thing to transfer elsewhere at this stage. I just don't have the motivation to leave the house much anymore. I'm lonely, but at the same time I'm bringing it on myself. People call me stupid and ungrateful for sometimes complaining about getting to travel so much, but although I love doing it at the same time it's very very hard. My homes are in three different places, and next year I will be travelling between an additional 2 more places. This is a nice place to go to rant...

Seems like this thread has gone on a lot of tangents and I want to bring it back to the suicide topic. Just today my choir teacher informed the class that one of our fellows singers, a senior, hung herself last night and was found this morning. Just 2 days ago we were planning to be in Battle of the Bands at school and planning to hang out over break. Now she won't walk with us at graduation, and pursue her artistic dreams. It's a real shock, and hard to cope with. I've never had someone close to me die before, and it's even harder knowing she took her own life. In my county there has been so many high school suicides lately. record breaking. In January a popular football player was found dead; it was ruled a suicide today. A few weeks ago a sophomore and a junior ended their own lives. I'm not sure why suicide rates have increased in high schoolers, but it's becoming a serious issue here. Just had to share.

This is sad news. I have to question why it is that we are losing our teens to suicide. I had read an article recently that had identified your area as being one of the highest for such... kind of makes a person wonder what's going on, but we are here today to state it and hope that by keeping a dialog going that one day we may find out.

I hadn't read that statistic. It really is a tragedy and to strike home like this is horrible. I take a psychology course at my school and my teacher talked to us about all the recent suicides, but there have yet to be any answers.

A kid in my class killed himself our freshman year. Already as a freshman, he was a state champion wrestler. His big brother was a state champion as well, twice. He was one of the 'popular kids', who were mostly jerks, but he surprised people in that he wasn't really a jerk, and was actually a really nice guy. He killed himself the summer after he won his title. The most anyone could figure was that he couldn't handle the pressure he felt he was under to make his family proud or whatever. This was strongly evidenced when his father took his life shortly after. His big sister still went to our school. I was sympathetic to her once her family members killed themselves, but she was always a rather terrible person, before and after. Then she made some big overture of threatening suicide herself, and as she prepared to drive off in her car (she alerted pretty much everyone that she planned on doing it, so I'm pretty sure she had zero intention of actually doing it). When she got out to the parking lot, a lot of the guys in school gathered around the car, and in an attempt to stop her from driving off, lifted up the back end of the car. But it was a front wheel drive, and she just about drove over a few of them. Then my Spanish teacher, the badass that he was and tired of her shenanigans, kicked out the driver side window of her car, and snatched her keys. A cry for help is one thing, but I couldn't find that in any way excusable. She knew her brother's friends very well, and to think that she would put them through that sort of turmoil, knowing good and well what it was and why she was doing it, was appalling. No one else killed themselves while I was in high school, but three have since. One shot himself in the chest in his truck after having some fight with his girlfriend. He survived the shot, and stumbled back into the party, but it was too late to save him. He wanted to be saved. Another shot himself after coming home from the war. He had a child on the way. Another, while still in the military, was electrocuted by his radio in the bathtub. No one thinks it was an accident. Four if you count the one who OD'd on something. His daughter had just been born. These were people in a pretty narrow age range, in a very very small town. Seems like a lot for how few were actually in that town.

Yes, I saw the news report on military suicides too. Bad times put people over the edge. It's unfortunate because there is always help available. I know I get close sometimes so I can understand what they're thinking. When you get like that, sometimes you don't want help. You don't want anything.

None of that is ever easy, or ever really able to be able to "gotten over". Just try to honor them in the best way you can, and don't dwell.. (most of the time) no one would want that. If you ever need to talk, or just vent, send me a PM and i'll be happy to either listen through MM, or i can get you my cell phone number and will be available after my shoot tomorrow I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to think about suicide and how hard it must be on everyone. (not that I don't, for me mentally it's more of thinking--and knowing-- that i'm going to die early, so i live every day like i might not be here tomorrow)
