Native english speakers, 10 points (part 3)?

Those all sound perfect! You even used the comma correctly in the last sentence. Most Americans can't even do that. The only thing wrong is that "video games" is two words.

Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with someone who is schizophrenic?

I got an ex who suffers with the mental illness and I began dealing with him again only to deal with the negative symptoms of the illness that affects him, I recently said some rude things to him now feeling bad because i forgotten that he once told me that he was dealing with the illness... I texted him and gotten no response back so I take it that this is his withdrawn stage... He continues to lie about little things like being employed and I always believe the BS and help him out when i can by giving him money and then i would catch an attitude when he doesn't live up to his promises... I know it isn't right for me to be acting as such but his deceptive personality grinds my gears...

My depression is crippling?

My mother died last Nov. Since then I've been getting very ill, depressed, and no one understands. Don't get along with family, there's a lot of dysfunction there, can't depend on them. Husband withdraws when I am in trouble, the worse the trouble, the more he withdraws, or wants to help with tough love. I have exhausted all help from the community, no one can do any more for me. Meds don't help. I have multiple chronic conditions that cause lots of pain, which have worsened since mom died. I feel all alone. No one to understand, no one that I can go to for help. I feel like my only alternative is assisted suicide in Switzerland.

Serious college troubles! Please help me!?

For this semester I have been taking this advanced English 1130 class along with a Math class while being on Academic probation. The English 1130 class can prepare anyone for University and I've been told by many at my campus that it is a very difficult course to pass. However, I have no intention of going to University and I have all the requirements of the Early Childhood education program that I want to apply for in September. I have been working to the best of my effort and studying hard but I have been getting "C-'s" and got one F on an assignment. I also took the midterm exam and don't know what mark I got for that yet. Today, I found out from my dad that he finally admitted to me that the only reason he wanted me in the English 1130 class is for me to get out of the house all day so that he and my mom won't have to deal with me. I got real angry and stressed about that. I have not told my parents about my academic probation and since the withdrawal date is coming up I'm seriously thinking of withdrawing from English 1130. The odds for me to pass this course seems very slim and if I don't withdraw I could very well risk failing the course and end up in Academic Suspension for a whole semester and I don't want that. Even if I do withdraw from the class, I can possibly avoid suspension but also have to tell my parents about the withdrawal. I told my Dad about the marks I've been getting in my assignments and he says to me to just keep going; try my best with the course and even if I don't pass I can still learn something from it. But that won't cut it with the campus administration and registrar's office if I failed the course because they will still suspend me. I've also talked with an academic advisor and a counsellor about this and they are no help. I even get help from the learning centre and still get these crappy grades in the class. With my campus, it seems that the right hand does not know what the left is doing so I'm getting mixed messages from everyone. I know this is long but can someone (ANYONE) help me with this difficult situation that I'm in? Please note, I'm 21 also and have a severe learning disability; ADHD; asperger syndrome which makes it difficult for me to understand things so that is a real real setback for me and I'm under a time limit with my parents saying to me that we will be moving from the house in 2 more years and once those 2 years are up, we will move and they will not let me live with them in the new place wherever we are going to live. Can anyone please help me??

A question for fantasy/romance writers?

I know I spend more time on Planet Fiction than I do on Planet Realty... but I love reading realistic fiction because I at least know somebody out there has the same thoughts and feelings as i do- and I think that makes everybody feel like they;re not a loser. But some people enjoy fiction over realistic fiction... if the fiction is entirely new, and 110% original... and not some stupid emo love story revolving around vampires, then I'd look into it.
