Someday you will admit to what you're missing
I'm already taking T3s so I highly doubt I can take more pain killers. It's gotten a bit better now.
Someday I'll make you stay

It sounds a bit like a tension headache or migraine. I have two suggestions, but none of which should be used if you have harsh hayfever or pollen, grass, daisy, or weed allergies. Both are different kinds of herbal infusions. Here are some tips for herbal infusions/teas:
Teas or herbal infusions should not be brewed rapidly. Ideally, the water should reach just before boiling or the point at which it starts to simmer. Any herbal infusion or tea should be covered while it is steeping or sitting, so that the oils in the plants do not evaporate (volatile oils). Herbal infusions usually steep for longer than actual teas (4-5 minutes instead of 3-4 minutes). If it sits any longer, a dark amber substance known as tannin will begin to steep and make the tea bitter.
If you suspect migraines:
Feverfew tea taken with peppermint or spearmint and lots of honey or raw (turbinado) sugar. Feverfew is already quite strong (nearly as bitter as strong, black coffee), so steep the mint first for 1-2 minutes with the natural sweetener and then add the feverfew and let it steep for another 2-3 minutes. Feverfew herbal infusions use the flowers, which are very similar and related to chamomile. Mint helps cover up the bitterness (because the tannins in mint are more tolerable than the amount in feverfew), and also aids nausea. A little bit of warm milk or a tiny amount of butter will make the infusion more smooth, and will also cover up a little of the bitterness.
If it is a tension headache or stress-induced migraine:
I recommend Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Extra. But if you can't find it, here's what's in it:
Chamomile flowers, Tillia estrella, Valerian root, Spearmint, West Indian Lemongrass, Hawthorn berries, and Orange blossoms.
This infusion shouldn't be allowed to steep longer than 3 minutes, but if you do steep it too long, you can add clover, orange blossom, or berry honey to it and a tiny bit of warm milk to conceal the tannins.
If you think you might be allergic to the above, try drinking an herbal infusion of Eleuthero (sp) or something with Valerian or Verbena.

I am so incredibly upset. Today someone told me my writing was "drivel" and I my application to join the Literate Roleplaying Guild was denied (with no explanation). I wanted to tell my boyfriend, and he wouldn't give me the time of day and made it worse. I feel so overwhelmed by the idea of getting a job and now I'm questioning the one thing I really want to do with my life. I'm also incredibly upset that none of my friends back home have made it a point to keep in touch with me at all. I know it's probably just an Anxiety flare-up, but it's really hard for me to stay calm about it. I just don't know what to do.

Why not pm the guild and ask for an explanation?
I know how it feels to have boyfriends that don't want to listen to you or don't seem to care at a time when you need them most. Just try and get him to realise you need him a lot at this point in time even if it's just for him to listen to you vent how you feel and such.
I know how you feel about the job as well I have to get one soon and I've never had one so it's just nerve wracking.
Your friends are probably just busy with Christmas coming up and such, you could try getting in touch with them.Maybe they're waiting for you to contact them just like you're waiting for them?
One thing to do is to try and stay calm and look at all sides of things and find someone to talk too about how you feel!
*hugs* I hope things get better for you
Someday I'll make you stay

Someday I'll make you stay No, my friends never called me when I lived back home. I'm usually the one to call everyone else. It gets pretty bad when they all have internet access and blow off hours playing on a mux but they can't spend 30 seconds to reply to one of my myspace comments/messages.

Someday you will admit to what you're missing
So here it is, it's already in the rules post but I'm going to make an announcement with it in it once it's been cleared one last time.
Paranormal Video/Picture/Recordings Vault ~ If you wanna share Paranormal videos, pictures or recordings it goes in here. If it has images or videos and has little information and discussion it goes here.
Supernatural Media (TV Shows, Movies, Radio, Books) ~ This is for topics to discuss Supernatural TV shows, movies, radio stations/shows, and books. If it has to do with any one of those it goes here, no excuses.
Psychic Phenomena (Psionics, etc.) ,Dreams, Future ~ This is for topics having anything to do with psionics and other powers, dreams, the future. These threads do not start as a help topic, they are simply a discussion, they can lead to help later in the topic.
Long Debates ~ If it's at least two paragraphs (consisting of at least 12 sentences) and has a debatable discussion then it belongs here.
Ufology, Cryptozoology ~ This is for everything and anything having to do with UFOs, aliens, ghosts, spirits, big foot, mermaids, etc.
Encyclopedia ~ This is strictly for informative, explanatory threads detailing specific topics. Please read the guidelines listed therein. The only discussion is to add onto the subject more.
Help & Questions ~ If you need help or have a question it goes here. Absolutely no exceptions! It must be legible and you must follow the guidelines posted in the forum.
Experiences/Stories ~ If you wanna share experiences or stories they go here only! It can be personal or something you heard elsewhere and wish to discuss. It is much like Gaia's GD (General Discussion)
So any corrections? If not this is the final product.
Someday I'll make you stay

I think that it should only apply to new and active threads, so those that haven't been posted in in over two weeks cant be held in account. but thats the only addition I would make.
I do hope you are feeling better now.

I'm much better after the surgery but I'm still slightly sick and my shin is killing me. When I was taking the T3s for my surgery pain I was walking normally on my shin instead of barely putting pressure on it for once and now that i don't take pain killers boy does my shin hurt. Stupid stress fracture!

I know what I'm going to do with help topics that aren't in the right place.... I'm going to post a "this doesn't belong here, please read the rules and try again" message and lock it down when I see them.

Looks like one short paragraph is the minimum length requirement that's leading so far. So how many sentences should the minimum be?
But what would we consider necessary aswell? Obviously periods, no netspeek, what else?
