Life ruined. All hope is gone?
Question by Brian C: Life ruined. All hope is gone?
3 years ago my life was on an upward path. Work was going great. I was promoted and told I had a great future. I am from England and was asked to work for my company in California. This was a big deal. They send their best people to CA to learn more about the business and then the theory goes they get transferred back as senior managers. Ever since then everything has gone wrong. Work didn’t go great. I met this woman who was very beautiful but who was a complete liar – I was just too dumb to realize it. I fell in love with her she cleaned me out financially and left in the car I bought her with some guy she had been cheating on me with throughout our relationship. Work went worse after this. I thought about going home but was too embarrassed – everyone at work in England knows about how stupid I was and how badly I let her treat me.
Then my father was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in March of this year. I asked for a job at home and was offered my old job back. This might sound dumb but this hurts my pride very much. Its like I have wasted the last three years. People who were junior when I left are now my superior. Basically my career is ruined, I am ashamed and embarrassed for being so dumb with my “GF”, i owe a lot of money.
My father passed away 4 weeks ago. I thought that I would have been able to spend more time with him and I know this sounds selfish but now I regret moving back home. There will be no opportunity to transfer back to CA again.
To top all this off I bought a second hand car in a hurry with the last of my money and it has turned out to be a heap of junk.- has a check engine light already.
I never thought of suicide before but feel my life is completely ruined and that at 33 that I am trapped with nothing and that there is no point in going on.
Anyone have any ways to even begin to see a way out of this mess?

Answer by Areia
Every experience is an opportunity to grow and change. You spent three strange years of your life making bad decisions, but your life is not over. Your dad getting sick gave you an opportunity to change the direction your life was going and leave California. Now you have these intense memories and experiences. Even these painful experiences are special in their own way, and sometimes sadness and loss can be a very beautiful thing. Try writing your experiences down. You sound like you have an interesting story to tell. You have nothing to be ashamed of. You took a risk and experienced some crazy shit. Now you’re a different person who will arrive stronger than before. With confidence you can achieve anything.

Wow. Your life does seem to have taken many bad turns here. I wish there was more I could do to offer you as some sort of solution to this all, but I know I cannot. I do however embark to say that death is not the best answer. Your father is losing his life without his consent and you wish to throw yours away.
If it would be of any help, I extend my friendship. I am here and willing to talk.
Message me, you are not alone!

Q&A: Antibody Shrinks Tumors; New Hope for Cancer Treatment?
Question by : Antibody Shrinks Tumors; New Hope for Cancer Treatment?
Antibody Shrinks Tumors; New Hope for Cancer Treatment
by Teresa Neumann : Apr 2, 2012 : Staff – The Daily Mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2120520/Promising-new-treatment-seven-cancers-single-antibody-shrink-tumours-them.html?printingPage=true
If given early enough, the drug—which has minimal side effects—could also be a cancer cure.
A new drug, centered around a protein called CD47, has been shown in animal trials to help the immune system shrink cancerous tumors in breast, bowel, prostate, ovarian, brain, bladder and liver cancers.
Researchers are hoping it will be available for humans within two years, though a report in the Daily Mail notes that “extensive proof that the drug is safe as well as effective means that its widespread use is about a decade away.
Still, the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says that the drug “dramatically” increased survival rates in trials.
If given early enough, the drug—which has minimal side effects—could also be a cancer cure.

Q&A: What hope is there for a 17 year old socially stunted loser?
Question by : What hope is there for a 17 year old socially stunted loser?
I am miserable. And I have every reason to be. I’m a loser. The very definition of one, in fact. I have not one single good quality, and I mean nary a one.
Let’s first start with my personality. You know that weird kid in class who never talks, and is almost always alone for projects? The one that has to be basically forced to be in a group because no one wants to be partners with that freak? Yeah, that’s me. And it’s always been me, I don’t know why I keep having this slim hope that it won’t be me one day. I have, and have always had the social skill of some sort of feral child, without the benefit of being able to communicate with animals. I don’t know what happened to me to make me like this, I suspect something extremely traumatic in my childhood, but I’ve never been sure. The point is, I’m weird. I’m creepy. I’m bizarre. And not in a cute or quirky way. The type of weird that people avoid because it gives them that cold sick feeling tingling up their spine. That’s me.
Now let’s go on to my physical appearance. I’m ugly. There’s no use even trying to convince myself otherwise anymore. My face is physically unappealing, and my body looks like a sack of rotten potatoes. I try to use makeup, but honestly I just use it to show to people that I’m trying to be less ugly, and clearly failing at it. My eyes could fit a Mazda miata between them, and I have acne and blackheads galore. I get stared at so much I sometimes believe I may look like I have down syndrome or some other serious disease that affect the physical appearance of a person.
I’ve been rejected by every single guy I’ve even glanced at. Most guys wantonly call me hideous to my face. I’ve built up an immunity to it at this point. And unlike one person’s recommendation, I will not “switch teams”. I’m just a loner, who is just this way forever, ties back into my awful personality (see above). At school, I’m *the* lone,weird freak that helps make everyone feel a little bit more secure by comparison. I can’t even drive anywhere and I’m almost 18 years old. I don’t have a car.
Sometimes I feel as though suicide may be the only option for me. My situation is bad, my life is bad, I have no friends, I’m ugly and universally hated. No one will ever love me, I’m a disgusting, embarrassing sack of shit. What hope is there for me?
Also, here’s a picture of me but look at your own discretion. I strongly resemble a horse.

Join a gym, make yourself look more appealing if that bothers you. Find some friends and be more confident. Or just find something that will make you stand out. Like a snake, be the girl who carried a snake to school one day. We guys love girls who own reptiles.

Bah who cares. I’m a guy, but similar in that I never talk in class and can’t usually find partners for projects and the like. So what. If you’re forced to be with a group that doesn’t want you (I’ve become used to this) they’ll just have to fucking get over it. Find a group of people you’re comfertable with, or (I know many people will say this is a bad suggestion), if you can’t, just find an online/virtual community you can fit in with. I know that mmos/online forums helped me when I felt like shit in actual life, because people are less judging and I actually talk/communicate with people. Whatever it takes to get through the hellhole that is high school

euronews science – Research raises fresh hope for cancer sufferers
www.euronews.net From laboratories in Ljubljana, Slovenia comes fresh hope for cancer suffers. A team of researches, from Slovenia, Russia, Germany and the USA have developed a method of treating the disease based on a new drug delivery system. The results so far are encouraging. Researchers found that when using standard methods, the tumour size diminished to 40 percent of its original size ten days after application. When they used this new system the tumour diminished to 10 percent of its original size after 10 days.

I am really sorry but it doesn’t look good. Lung cancer has a very low survival rate at the best of times.
I really wish you and your family the best of luck.
For people in the 3A group 1 in 3 survive for 5 years if its group 3B less than 10% survive for 5 years.
