So, what's stopping you?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) August 14th, 2015

Will?
Ability?
Some physical barrier?

Are you still hopeful, or is it hopeless?

If you need something to get you over the hump, can we help?

Very little at this point. I’ve done a lot of work and a lot of growing in the past few years and now I am the agent of my own happiness. Just hoping for plenty of good time and good health to enjoy it.

Severe ED. I’m trying to get it to work, but it justs lies there.

My husband lost his job. Now, I’m in a holding pattern when I finally had the will to get back into my career. Sometimes I think I should ignore his job situation and just focus on me. It’s very complicated, but maybe it isn’t?

The other thing is wanting to lose weight. I just have not buckled down to do it. I think stress has really worked against me on this front for the last year and a half. Now, the possibility that I’m going to job hunt again soon should, hopefully, be enough to motivate me. We’ll see. I did start back exercising a few weeks ago.

Since the day I started my big plan I have met with many difficulties: more external workload, time crisis, my own self-doubt… I think the God wants to challenge my willpower to concentrate on finish tge work. And right now I haven’t given up yet.

@Mimishu1995 Don’t ever give up. You’re good at this.

~$100,000 would help me get back on my feet. Being able to narrow my educational/ career choices instead of going for a pH. D in general studies . Fluther can help by answering my general questions. Especially my time/astral travel questions. I need a goal other than to look after myself.

FEAR plain and simple.

The only thing that really can, me.

Money, plain and simple. Otherwise I am a pretty together person. Very non-neurotic, emotionally stable, mentally sound well, except for the depression brought on by the recession and losing it all. Yep, a couple hundred grand would set me right up again but that’s not going to happen so one day at a time.

Job stability. Seems like every five years or so, my wife and I have to scramble to reinvent ourselves. Ye olde, one step forward, two steps back routine.

Coloma's avatar

@cookieman I am too fucking tired to re-invent again. Mine was more like one giant leap forward and then a swan dive off a 100 foot cliff onto the rocks. lol

the eventual heat death of the universe.
I might have to turn many young girls into magical girls.
and once they become evil and turn into witches, they release vast amounts of energy which I can then harvest to fight off entropy.

Booze probably.
