Anthony,

First of all, please don't be afraid of the "mental illness" tag in  
seeking help because everyone hits a low point at some time in their  
life.  It's the healthiest ones who seek help for it.

Secondly, make sure that you go to a therapist you choose, not your  
parents.  That can make all the difference in the world.

Thirdly, please realise that it's normal to argue with people as long  
as you're willing to cool down afterwards and reconcile your  
differences.  That is the stuff of families and relationships.

Mike,

I know this may sound funny coming from a guy who sometimes appears  
to have
everything moving in a positive direction with working, living  
independently
and enjoying weight lifting, but I sometimes too feel forced into a
lifestyle which my parents say is bull, and their tired having me  
complain
about feeling forced into something.  My suggestion for you is to  
move on,
it's your life, why not enjoy it, start seeing this gal before time runs
out.

Back to myself, I had another blow out with my parents, brother, his  
fiancé,
and her parents happened to be there to witness it, and were shock  
since I'm
supposed to be a intelligent individual very respected in  
augmentative and
alternative communication (a field I love).  After blowing up, I  
requested
to be driven home where my comfort zone is, so my father brought me  
home and
left me to cool down.  This morning we talked by telephone, and  
everybody
thinks I should get help with my emotions, and probably some  
medicine.  My
mom says this is 15 years late because I can be good for months and than
just snap.   I'm going to get help because I'm tired of the after  
feeling,
today I feel physically tired, and I have things to prepare for.  I'm  
just
scared of the therapist saying I can't work (something I definitely  
enjoy,
and am one of the better technicians at PRC for working out whatever).
Another concern is the mental illness label, I don't want that  
effecting the
way I'm seen by the company and our customers, I want to figure out  
their
future communication devices, something I'm good at.

Bobby always said this list was caring, and I definitely need  
guidance now.


Thanks,
Anthony

Who is preventing you from seeing this woman?  I assume you are both

I have been prevented from seeing a woman I've known for years on  the
assumption that she'll end up pregnant.  I would love to have a  =
committed
relationship, but it just hasn't happened yet.

Walk away  before I finish what you started. Face to face I will put  
you =
in
your place. End  this game before I finish what you started. Face to =
face
everything will  change.
