Hello
im also too a new user here... just figured it out awhile ago... its all in our head... what was just happened to that girl who was killed is her fate... Fate of forceful death... im not scaring you though... just try to imagine... i too have irrational imaginations just like yours... i also have hard time sleeping... and i always think of the FAR FAR FUTURE... this just might help... do have any thought of how healthy you are??? you have complete body... 2 arms 2 legs 2 eyes... and im very sure your not blind... just imagine little kids who were born incomplete... what i mean is the people who where blind, amputated... people with no limbs but yet they live their lives... think of those people who where mentally ill since the day they were born... think of them... for once twice a day look at yourself in a mirror and try to compare yourself to them...^^, Take Care Good Luck!

BTW im Male 22.... near to be a DAD in FEB
