Mods- thanks for the subtitle:)
Should I be nervous to ask for a subtitle? Who knows what the mods think of me and therefore will give me?!?!
Ummmm, not sure. I’d give you an email address (that doesn’t have my name attached) but doubt the mods would let something like that through…
I don’t know how much longer I can stand it:(
omg- I feel the exact same way!!! It is so so so hard!!!
Does anyone know why Chofetz Chaim boys generally wear colored shirts as opposed to white shirts?
DISCLAIMER- I am not knocking anyone for doing this or not doing this, I am just curious!
I recently started to appreciate myself. I don’t know if I can say loved yet but def appreciate and if I must say so myself, I do not think that I’m a self absorbed person. (Ha ha, you will not be able to tell that from this post since there are a lot of “I”‘s written here but in reality…)
gumball- I completely agree with you. It is none of anyone elses business what I or anyone does with my children. It does not mean I don’t love my child because I don’t want someone else telling me how to parent my child. It means I (notice the IIII here) love my child and you aren’t meant to- so please leave my child and myself alone.
This is all my opinion though:)
I am grateful that I can now wake up every morning and really appreciate and enjoy life. It’s a miracle!!! B”H
So sad:( I just posted a HUGE list of shadchanim (haven’t heard of most of them) but I guess the mods didn’t want to let it through. I’m sorry!
PS- who calls the shadchanim for you; you or a parent? I call for myself but I’m wondering what to do if it’s a male shadchan. Can I call anyway?
Just found this list on a diff website. Don’t know if it’s useful or not… Don’t know what #’s are current and what’s not but worth a try. Hatzlacha!

Does anyone have Rav Appelbaums phone number or contact information?
Thanks!
I’ve had such bad tooth pain. I know I have some root canal work that needs to be done but my newest pain I think is sinus related. I’m pretty sure that I have a sinus infection right now but I don’t have a cold- weird!
Thanks for giving the directions to change it. I’ve been wanting to know forever but could never find out.
Thanks again!
Having a hard couple of days in this department.
Want so much to find my bashert (or zivug or whatever you wanna call him). There is nothing even on the horizon right now, I don’t know who to call since I feel like I’ve called everyone already. I’m going crazy!!!!
Yes. Do you know any breathing techniques? If you do, try them. They’ll probably help you relax a little.
Student- I hate to say this to you but you and all the parents that complain about not having school use school as a free babysitting agency. When we have school on some days when we really shouldn’t be, the reason is because YOU (and others) need a free babysitting agency.
yogiboboo- I know the person you are talking about and her father put on a black hat recently because he was a “high” member in the shul and felt that it was necessary. Turns out this girls new husband very rarely wears a black hat and when I was talking to her about it she said to me- I never thought it would be me saying this but it doesn’t matter to me if he wears it or not…
Cum laude- when I was a month into this period of doing so well I did get discouraged from having a “down” day but now I can usually assume that it’s going to pass. Yes, I still do get anxious from it because I really never wanna go back there but I can safely assume that I’m going to be ok.
It’s scary to think of not doing well again. I went through sooo many medications before I found the right mix. I don’t know what I’d do if they c”v started not working.
A relative of mine got married while her father was sitting shiva. Both uncles and aunts were told that they were allowed to go to their nieces wedding even though they were in middle of shiva. They were allowed to go for the chupa and then had to leave afterwards.
Another relative of mine got up from shiva 2 days before her wedding. The wedding was not pushed off and e/t went on as normal. I don’t know about the siblings of the kallah though, what their limitations were.
tbt- I agree with you. I saw a psychologist first and then was told to see a psychiatrist after my therapist recommended I see one.
I think it’s also important to see someone who knows what they’re doing. Unfortunately, I suffered through seeing some not so good therapists… b”H I found the right one now!
Wow, thanks everyone for caring so much!
B”H I’m doing much better. It was just a passing mood that I didn’t let pass on into the next day.
Cum laude- I am clinically depressed unfortunately. I am not using the word freely, wish I was though.
It’s amazing that I’m doing well again!!!! B”H!!
So weird!
I’ve been doing well for about 6 months but tonight I’m in such a bad mood. I’m hoping it’s not my depression creeping up on me again. I’m so nervous that it is though.
I keep telling myself that EVERYONE is allowed to have a bad day/nite and this is mine. I hope telling myself that works. I can’t go back to that time in my life when I was so miserable!!
Try your local bikur cholim. Mine helps many people out with paying for Drs, including mental health workers.
Yogibooboo- I think by turning their boiler down low you have stooped down to their leven, if not lower than theirs.
If there is a problem send a note (that is borderline nasty) but playing around with their boiler is pure chutzpa!
What would you like to know. I probably can answer most of your questions. I am currently a court reporting student.
bpt- I think your post shows that you’re a little naive. Blabla is on meds, this shows that she has a chemical imbalance. It doesn’t mean that she isn’t trying to enjoy life (although at this point she may not be trying anymore since she might have given up)
This does not mean that people who are depressed aren’t happy with what they have or are “bad” people because of this depression. For many it’s a chemical imbalance. Nothing but meds and therapy can help that. Take it from someone who has been there done that. I am currently on meds, seeing a therapist and b”H THRILLED with life. I remember being miserable, being so distracted by my depression and guess what, my therapist told me that many people are like this…
My guess would be that the boy carries on the family name whereas the girl does not.
That’s why I iy”H want a son, he doesn’t have to be my bechor but I like knowing that there is someone to carry on the family name.
I have a mental health issue and I spoke to a rav a number of months ago and was told that I should not tell until the third date and that my references do not have to say anything unless specifically asked BUT that is with me telling the boy on date three so nothing will be withheld when iy”H going into a marriage. I was told that the references can not lie for me!!
Also, so my references wouldn’t feel uncomfortable about what to say, I coached them (with the ravs guidance). They feel much better about being my references and I feel confident going into my dates!
Just want to add that I spoke to a rav a number of months ago and was told that I should not tell until the third date and that my references do not have to say anything unless specifically asked BUT that is with me telling the boy on date three so nothing will be withheld when iy”H going into a marriage.

rebbetzin- I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder but am doing so well that my drs are ready to lower my medication and decrease my therapy. I am also dating again b”H! So yes, in answer to your question, it is considered a mental health issue; unfortunately.
