I really love giving advice, even if I'm not very good at it sometimes.. I still try!
Having experienced severe depression when I was younger, my best category would have to be mental health. I also do a lot of research on mental health, because honestly, it just really interests me. I've been thinking about becoming a social worker someday, to help others like me :) Giving advice here will probably be a good start for me ^-^
Well, I guess that's it. Have a nice day! :)

"Mental Health" probably isnt the right category. My subject pretty much sums it up. Sometimes, right when Im on the edge between sleep and consciousness, right smack between two different places, I swear I can hear someone say my name just faintly, but because of the weird state Im in, it really catches my attention. I dont know where it comes from. Its like it comes from the sleep and sounds in the sleep and in the wake, like it echos or something, its hard to explain, but you probably know what Im getting at. Im just really curious about it. I want to know what it is, why, and why I hear it and only when Im in that state. Also, because it's so faint and brief, I can't distinguish characteristics such as sex or whether I know the voice or not. If you have any ideas or actually know something or have had a similar experience, pleas leave a response, and thanks very much in advance! :)
You know... the same thing actually happens to me (or similar anyway). For me, it's usually somebody I know. I have been 'hearing' my best friend say some crazy stuff for a while now... It's strange. I can literally hear her voice, although I know it's just my imagination. Sometimes other people talk to me too. Usually they just say 'hi' or something. I find it almost comforting. As long as this voice isn't scaring you or anything, it's just fine. I'm perfectly fine, so you probably don't need to worry about it.
I have been depressed and have had sucidal thoughts and have self harmed for a while now. I really feel like I need to tell one of my friend but I don't know how please help!
This has happened to me before, so I know how you feel. I was eventually able to get over it on my own (Without telling anyone), but the feeling never really went away. I don't recommend just letting it go away, as it may come back later on in life. One thing you could do is go to your best friend (The one you can trust, that understands you and won't call you a crazy lunatic or something.), and say to them, "{Friend's name}, I need to talk to you about something...". Go to a private location and tell them how you're feeling. If they're a good friend, they'll care and want to help. Just talking to someone might make the pain go away. You could also tell your parents, siblings (This one is a maybe, it depends on what kind of siblings you have, if any), psychiatrist, or school counselor about your problems, whatever they may be. They're always there to help! No matter how unloved and unwanted you feel, there will always be someone in the world that needs you, even if it doesn't always feel that way. Best of luck. :)
18/f Now this may seem weird to most people but I don't like sunny weather at all. The thing is that whenever the sun is out I get really depressed and sad. At the beginning of spring I sometimes start crying for no reason, because I feel so uncomfortable. Then after a while I get used to the sun but I still don't like it.
I suppose I'm not the only one who dislikes sunny weather but why do I get so extremely depressed?
I just can't stand feeling so sad :( The sun is shining again today and I'm sitting here nearly crying .. what is wrong with me? And please don't make fun of me ._.
Maybe the sun is too bright for you? I always get migraines when the sun is out because it's so bright. It could also just be an irrational thing, that you're 'scared' of sunshine. You may just get over it eventually, but if you don't, try talking to a friend, family member, doctor, or other trusted person about it. Maybe they could help you.Good luck (:
