The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

You have a VERY strong heart. You picked the prefect "Crew" to send your S.O.S to. You should be proud of yourself for admitting to you condition, that is the first step to get help....you are starting a new journey. Please remember everyone has good days and bad days. Do not be to hard on yourself when you have a bad day. You are a good person and really that is all that matters. I feel better when I help other people, maybe you could do a "Secret Pal" suprise for someone you care about. I live in Idaho, feel free to email me when ever you like. I will answer your emails! moosemayham@cox.net Good Luck! Dear Jimmy,

Ive been suffering from some very similar issues over the past few weeks and because of a lack of money stopped taking my anxiety meds. but Ill tell you what it has all made me so much stronger and so much more grateful for what I do have in my life as I know it will you. My mom always said what doesnt kill us will make us stronger and aint that the truth. This is great stuff and even though Im up late I dont feel the need to sleep in (and hide)tommorow..thanks to all of you. wow this stuff is amazing.. it truly shows you that life is amazing even when you are going through a hard time.I totaly randomly stumbled on all of this tonight .

As I read through all of this, I keep asking myself if you have "Accept Christ as my Savior" on that list? You guys demonstrate how much we as human beings can do on our own. But it is when Jimmy's questions come up that the hang in their, look at all the good you have, etc., etc., that the answers get tough. I am afraid that Jimmy is very much at the bottom and his was an effort to get help but in a way, he's just been told to do the same thing he's always tried to do on his own, which has probably gotten him where he is today. Jimmy, if you read this, man, turn to Christ, genuinely rely on Him, and I promise you, he will light your path. I can't tell you what that will LOOK like, but He will light your path in ways you can't imagine! Even in the hard stuff you're facing, he will undergird you! To help you with this, find a solid, Bible believing church that unapologetically preaches the Word of God, and you will be taking a step in the right direction. It is something we all need to do. No matter how much we accomplish, or mark off our list, it won't matter when we die. Maybe we should be asking "What am I going to be doing AFTER I die?" I'm going to be in Heaven! What about you?

Get busy Living or get busy Dying. Look at the people who you ask for help from and you might well find it! As for the finances...I am 4 Stadiums away from my goal of having every current Stadium for Major league Baseball and have been to a game at every Baseball Town but one(Denver next Spring!). I deliver pizza for a living and trust me, the pay stinks. I do not tell you this to toot a horn or something, just that more is possible than most people think can be done with little money.

In fact most of my friends and I suffered from low self esteem and anxiety. The important part is friends to me. We help each other though tough times and I’ve literally been saved and save friends lives before. 90% of my friends are extreme nerds, and very proud of it. We’re the kinds of people who sit around and talk physics for hours, watch anime, and play Dungeons and Dragons every chance we get. I can’t tell you how much those people have boosted my confidence in myself. In 2006 I ran for two office positions in my some of my high school’s clubs( 3D animation and computer culture) and in 2007 I founded my schools first Roleplaying Game club, which was massive(around 20 members the first week and 45 by years end). It drew all the nerds out of the woodworks and into our family. I couldn’t have done it without my friends at the time. I graduated that year and life is looking very up. My suggestion based on my life is, no matter what you like to do, find people that share your passion and people you can help and can help you. Who knows, maybe you’ll find some friends to travel the U.S. with and do fun things. Its always possible. Jimmy,
