I don't even know. I can't tell the difference anymore.Did you go into teaching because it is something you wanted to do or because other people said it was a good career for you?

I say, bullshit on the last statement.Because I wasn't mentally prepared to juggle 50 things at once, as a teacher of any level must do. I'm too much of a Type-A personality that can only focus on one thing at a time (which is why I also get stressed, upset, and emotional during finals time in university). I just clearly don't have what it takes to be a teacher.
I was wondering about this, too. There is a difference in treatment options between a psychologist and psychiatrist.Are you seeing doctors or therapists only?
CBT is great shit, if you can successfully change the way you can think.
I agree. CBT can be very helpful if you are willing to work on changing your way of thinking.
All four of my grandparents were cremated, and all were buried after a service in a Catholic church. No offense but some protestants really don't know what they're talking about when they claim the RCC is oh so conservative and aggressive and anti-people and whatnot.My wife's grandfather was not allowed to have his funeral in the church he was a member in for almost 70 years...because he was cremated.
So you're saying we weren't told that and that the whole thing was in our minds?All four of my grandparents were cremated, and all were buried after a service in a Catholic church.

Similar happened at my great-grandmother's funeral, and my little brother's.So. Just got back from my grandpa's funeral completely fucking furious. The pastor, who didn't know my pop, did a fucking fire and brimstone sermon in the middle of the service, citing Pascal's wager amongst other things and then going on about how non-believers leaving nothing but destruction in their wake and sadness and gobs of bullshit. My grandpa was basically as much an atheist as someone born on a farm in New Brunswick in the 20's could be. He all but preached to my family that my pops was in hell now.
So God damn furious about it.
Not you, they need to get their heads out of their asses. As in, the minister/priest/whatever refused the service. If it was a Catholic church, all the more reason he should be made to eat his words - the RCC does not condone refusing the last rites, funeral or burial on holy ground to people who choose to be cremated. It was the position of the RCC up until 1962, and was changed that year. Similar for suicide, euthanasia and that sort: not in the RCC until the late '90s (in that case), but changed. Priests who refuse service for those reasons are in flagrant violation of the Pope's edicts.So you're saying we weren't told that and that the whole thing was in our minds?
My wife's whole family is Catholic, including my wife's grandmother, who was very upset about the whole affair.
I wish more people would realize that funerals are for the friends and family, not the deceased.After my grandfather committed suicide we had friends and family members who let us know he would be burning in hell. His oldest sister refused to come to his services because of her beliefs along that line. My poor grandmother was beside herself.
First thing that came to my mind, too.Carpool with Dirona?
Dirona's moving way farther than I am. I'm only going half that distance, and the company is paying professional movers to do it for me. I'm not concerned about the move, it's just the fact I am probably moving :-|Carpool with Dirona?
Plus you'll miss out on Dirona's scintillating company during the move.I'm not concerned about the move, it's just the fact I am probably moving :-|
She and Eriol are both fun when they've had rum & eggnog and you turn the doomweasels loose!Plus you'll miss out on Dirona's scintillating company during the move.
