Why do I feel like a failure...why am I being hard on myself

Why do I feel like a failure...why am I being hard on myself?
Today was one of the worst days I've had in a long time. I missed my flight to S. America in the morning. I've been playing this trip out for 6 months. I just graduated from nursing school and thought I'd give myself a travel gift for 6 years of hard work, sacrifice, and plain not having a life due to studying so much. I paid $3400 total including flight. I've never traveled before let alone been on an airplane. I planned this trip out for myself...a solo trip w/ a tour group. Couple of friends bailed out but that wasn't going to stop me from going. Well, since I wasn't too familiar w/ the rules I showed up 1 hr 40 min early and was turned away b/c I had to be 3 hrs early. My older brother wasn't too supportive...they said it is common sense...then how come they didn't tell me as they dropped me off the airport. It's easy to point the finger, but why didn't they speak up. I was ignorant of the rules. I don't know what happened but I started to be really hard on myself, was crying a lot throughout the day, and felt like a failure. Tried to find another flight but unsuccessful...there is one in a few days but I don't have the money to pay the difference in ticket...I honestly put my last dime on this trip so I had just the right amount. My parents are financially in a bind...they heard me sobbing over the phone but they could not help. Then I just started to pity myself...I hated myself for doing this today. I'm a beautiful inside/out as many people say but I'm alone b/c guys choose sluts over me....I'm "travel-less", and poor until I start work w/in the next month. Can't get a refund for my tour. Why was I so hard on myself? It's unlike me.

That sucks! You're clearly being so hard on yourself because this trip meant so much to you. I know you're feeling bad now, but it only just happened to you and you'll feel better later. Ignore your brother, don't take him so seriously. It is your fault, but don't beat yourself up about it, it's happened, and it's not the worst thing in world. You'll feel better tomorrow. Good luck

Hey, I would've done the same. Three hours seem excessive. Don't be pessimistic, maybe it happened for a reason? There's a lot of gang war happening down there anyways, wouldn't want to get caught up in that. Congrats on your degree though! (: Cheer up

i can understand where you are coming from but you are being a little too hard on yourself. and pls, you're not a failure. you just graduated from nursing, give yourself a pat in the back :) you'll earn that money in no time as a nurse

normally when a person goes into a nursing home and does not have the money to pay there way medicare will cover the first 30 days after that the state will take the ss check as payment and also attach any property in that person's name to be sold upon death to off set bills!!!
2 :
Sounds like the authorities stepped in to do what your mom would have never allowed you to do. Old, sick, folks get very belligerent sometimes and don't know what's best for them or their families. Don't fight it. Let her stay where she is. The nursing home will file proper paper work for getting her qualified for medicaid so that the nursing home bills can be paid. They have no such concern for you, and your mom is not homeless. You might be though. That means, if you don't want the lights turned off, find a job.

pardon big letters but GET HER ASSESTS FROZEN they can assign someoneoutside the family get a lawyer whateveryou call legal profession..been there done that good luck..

Forgive me, but the way your question is stated, it's a little hard to understand. I would suggest either spell check or stating a complete sentence. Questions like this need a lot of details. You do not state WHO put her in a nursing home, and with you having the power of attorney, this does not make sense. Unless she was not being taken care of correctly, adult protective services can step in at any time and take custody of her from you. Since you don't know where she was taken and what home she is currently in raises another red flag. You also state you were driving her 60 miles, but were you driving to her, or driving her to the doctor or? I just can't understand your question enough to give you proper answers. Again, it appears that Adult Protective Services has taken control. If you have Power of Attorney, you can contact an attorney and file proceedings to confirm control or her estate and her. If you fell apart and someone saw you do this, and you were reported to not be a good person or caregiver to take care of her, your rights could be taken away and courts will file to be in control of everything. You also do not state if you are an only child and hinted that relatives did this. Please supply more details - and see an attorney.

Hill's Prescription Diet A/D Question

Hill's Prescription Diet A/D Question ????
Hello everyone! I have tons of questions to ask!The other day I have found a stray that had kittens.This stray has been around, and she never looked pregnant.I remember seeing her around, and she seemed skinny.The stray is pretty young! I can tell because she is pretty small.Well looking at kittens they seem really tiny, and I am a little worried.Today I went to the pet store to buy food for the cat. The first thing I bought was kitten food by Schesir.Then the girl that worked at the counter told me to get Hill's Prescription Diet A/D (caned food), and Solo by DRN. The girl told me that this stuff is full of protein, and energy.I thought okay I will get it because it seems like what the stray needs.I know that I should ask the vet,but I decided to first ask here.How much food should I give to a young skinny nursing cat that lives outside?Should I give first the Hill's A/D,and then Solo?Plus how long should I give it to her, and can I give it to her with other food at the same time?

you need to mix the 2 foods together as you can't change food back and forth with animals as there digestive system can't handle it.

Hi What is true is that ad is a bit calorie intensive. What is also true is that it is horrible food and not necessarily good calories. This is not food a cat should eat I am glad it is canned food You do not need kitten foo eithe You didn't mention how old the kitten are, If under 6 weeks they need mothers miulk or special formula http://www.kittenrescue.org/handbook.htm If over 6 weeks they should all be eating the same thing. Quality canned foods Thank you so much for rescuing Here is some info and good links Nutrition since there are so many bad things out there is very important to your cat’s health Contrary to what you may have heard; dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat. Please read the label on what you are feeding? What are the ingredients? Do you know what they mean? Is the first ingrdiant a muscle meat like chicken or meal or other things? http://www.catinfo.org/#Learn_How_To_Read_a_Pet_Food_Ingredient_Label Dry foods are the number 1 cause of diabetes in cats as well as being a huge contributing factor to kidney disease, obesity, crystals, u.t.i’s and a host of other problems. Food allergies are very common when feeding dry foods. Rashes, scabs behind the tail and on the chin are all symptoms The problems associated with Dry food is that they are loaded with grfains and carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process them. Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but in Dry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and don't use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive. You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesn't have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all. Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods. Also, dry food is not proven to be better for teeth. Does a hard pretzel clean your teeth or do pieces of it get stuck? http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/bpo_ch4a.php Please read about cat nutrition. http://www.newdestiny.us/nutritionbasics.html http://www.catinfo.org/feline_obesity.htm http://maxshouse.com/feline_nutrition.htm#Dry_Food_vs_Canned_Food.__Which_is_reall
4 :
A/D is not suitable for long term feeding. Your best bet is high protein low carb non vet food, ranging from fancy feast up to wellness. For more info including a list of acceptable commercial foods, see www.catinfo.org
