about

heyy i'm brittany. i'm 13 years old and going into the 8th grade. i live in southern indiana, close to louisville,kentucky. i don't have a boyfriend.. but i've been in many bad relationships. i used to cut myself, i was suicidal, so i can help you with that. i do competitvie cheerleading, club volleyball, and golf. if you need fast advice just I.M. me at sixmilestogox or oxobroxo (both AIM). i'm normally online everyday. i guess that's all

advice

ok so i cut, so obviously im depressed. i cant decide if i should go to a psychologist and have them give me anti-depressants, or if i should just go to our family doctor and get some from him. what do you think? i dont want my parents in the same room as me if i went to the doctor, so how would i do that? id feel bad if i said i dont want my parents to come in, but is that what im supposed to do? is the doctor going to ask me questions? and would i have to show him my cuts? their really teeny and a little red, so they really arent that noticable, but would he still give me anti-depressants? im not wanting anti-depressants just for my cutting, i am depressed so i have other problems other than cutting. thank youuuu

hey. yeah i used to cut myself. i went to a physchologist and got help from him. one of my friends went to a doctor, and he sent her to a physchologist. i would go to a physchologist because he knows more about mental stuff then the doctor. and yeah you just ask your parents nicely to stay out in the waiting room or whatever. i don't know about the doctor, but the physhologist asks you a few questions about why you did it and how long and simple stuff like that. and my physchologist didn't give me anything but 3 weeks at a mental hospital. but mine were huge and right on my veins. i think you can ask for anti-depressants, just make sure you mention all of you're other reasons for being depressed. good luck.

i have serius issues on depression. i mean everyday for the past month ive been down. please dont make fun of me. i cant help it. i just lost a gr8 friend/boyfriend a couple of weeks ago and i havent been happy or the same since then. i dont want to take freakin pills cause it makes me feel unhuman. it lowers my self esteem. i havent had any self esteem in over a month. everybody told me to move on and find someone else to go out with but its not that simple to move on after a heartbreak. i have changed so much in the past month. Please help me. what the heck should i do? ill do anything if it works. ill rate high and ill write super great about you if you just help me. thanks and please hurry!

moving on is a process. you automatically do it when you are ready. i've been attatched to a guy for 2 years now. act like you are over him. then, once you show everyone that you are over him (even though you are really not), you will overcome this. you will find a day when you are sooo over him that you can scream, and you will feel soooo much better. that's one way it can happen. another way is that, you can find another guy that you like (we all know that's very hard.) once you find this guy, and get close to him, you will just forget this whole bad relationship thing and will be happy again. (sounds like a dream, but it happened to my sisters friend who was in a 6 year relationship, and was depressed for about a full year.) well i hopped that worked for ya! smile :)

I am a homeschooled girl, I'm turning 15 in about two months. I am doing this program for middle schoolers, where I go and pick up tons of work each month. Apparently, theres so much, that its hard cramming it all in a month, but I manage to get it done the very beggining of the next month, meaning I turn it in late. This happens, because either I didn't have parents take me because they were gone, or I wasn't done. Most of the time it was just not going on time. I expected a lot from myself when I was in public school, my grades were always in a high range. But now, I am failing three classes. Ever since I saw my grades, I have been feeling guilty for eating, sleeping, or doing anything I want because I shouldn't deserve to do what I want. I am so full of stress, I think that maybe another reason. I see a therapist that takes both of my parents sides, and my parents are divorced, but they still fight. But, I'm not going to drown myself in excuses because I've managed to do well in the past. There are lots of other stressful things going on, but I am just really scared that I'm going to get held back. I havn't finished the month of May, I tried to last night, but those thoughts of being a failure took over and kept me from concentrating. I have no idea what to do with the present work, but I do have goals for high school, I might be staying home again. Could anyone share some advice that could help me get my stress out and my future thoughts in?



I'll definetly rate because of the length of this question. It will be more than just thank you.

wow. that's complicated. find a way to make your homework your first priority. make yourself think that you are soo much butter then what your grades show. grades show nothing. think about your longterm goals. (ex: graduating from HS,college,etc.) think of all the good things that homework pays off for. & well your stress.. it will ease it's way away once you get ontop of your crapload of work.
