Sunday Confessional: I Hurt Her, But She Won't Let It Go
About two years ago, I entered a bleak time in my life and fell into a depression. Fortunately, I was able to make it through, and I feel much stronger today. However, at the time it was difficult to just leave the house, and I really distanced myself from many of my friends.
Do Tell: Have You Ever Been Used?
I’ve been fortunate enough to build a strong group of friends over the years, but in the process, I’ve encountered my fair share of people who were only out for their own gain. Of course as I’ve gotten older, it’s rare that I find myself in the position of being used by someone, but I’d be lying if I said it’s never happened before. And it’s always an unpleasant realization.

Group Therapy: I Got Dumped Over Email
I had been dating a guy for two months and I couldn't have asked for a better relationship; other than the fact that he was too career-oriented and ambitious and always put his work first. I have a very demanding career as well so I made it clear to him that it was OK if we didn't meet up every night after work. When it came down to it, he felt too pressured to spend time with me, so he dumped me over email and blocked me on Facebook, IM, and all other technologies.
