I am open, honest, truthful yet also insightful and understanding. I am a Strong woman with morals, belief, and character. I value life, myself and life of everything, everyone and all. I am mature, caring, giving, straight up and real!
I am not harsh, rude, or disrespectful but I am going to tell you the truth because you are asking for that. If you want a lie or support that you know is invalid because you question it yourself, please don't get mad at me for the truth because that is what sets us ALL free!! Peace, Venom
advice
I am a 17 year old girl, and ever since I was 14, I felt like I have been falling down a hill. It seems like it gets worse month by month. I feel bad about myself a lot, but I randomly feel better. But then a week later I am back where I started. I have no warning about when I will feel bad again. I want to know if so much pain is normal for a teenager.
I used to cut when I was 15, but I do it extremely rarely now. Starting this past March, I wasn't eating properly because I was trying to lose weight. I got down to eating between 500 and 1200 calories a day, depending on the day. When I was 16, I almost killed myself, and once this year I tried alcohol for the first time.
It just seems like I am falling and being so much worse than I ever was. I just want to know if feeling like this is normal (even if what I did isn't normal) or if I should get this checked out. (If that is the option, do you have any idea what might be wrong with me?)
Thank you for all your help in advance, and I look forward to reading your input.
I answered your email, please check your spam mail too if you don't see it in your inbox.
First, I am going to tell you that I am so sorry that you are going through this, girl and that I want to help you, as these should be the best friends of your life!
I am not able to say if it's normal or not, but I can say that I am seeing more of it on a daily basis. I really do think that you should get this checked out. Something is going on internally with you and I respect you for identifying it and seeking help even to the point of asking if you should get it checked out. This shows me strength within you! So, this tells me you can get through this thing, with help girlfriend. No one on this site can say what's wrong unless they are doctors, and see you. Most will say depression. I am not going to say depression, because it could be anger, frustration, confusion - all of these things help lead up to depression but without really knowing the real root of it,it's hard to say what it is. It could even be a mental disorder, requiring medication. It could be something hereditary even. I will say this, I will give you my email address,you can email me and tell me everything you want to get out, I don't care how long it is, I will read it and answer you, I promise you. Sophia_pettus@yahoo.com
My advice, is talking first with your parents to let them know that you're going through doing, asking them to make you an appointment for help. Next, you can send me an email message and let it out!! and we can talk from there too. I will be here for you cause you need someone there for you in addition to your parents, doctor and/or counselor.
I am also praying for you as soon as I post this response to you. Again, I am asking and supporting you in getting this checked out miss lady so that you can smile again and realize the world is yours and it's waiting on you to grab a hold of it!
okay well before you read this. i realy need help. so dont make fun or make rude comments. okay so i made a few fake myspaces just so i could talk to this boy whos older then me and better looking. ive been a fake for about a year without getting caught. i really like this guy now. hes like all i think about. and all i think about it the girl in the pictures and him being together. like fay dreaming. i would always stay up late to talk to him and not do my school work and miss school just to talk to him. now i have to go to summerschool because i failed 2 classes. he just found out i was a fake. but he doesnt know my real identity, which is good since i live in the same town as him and my life would be over if people found out it was me. but anyways i want to think normal again. and NOT think about him. like i forget what its like to be normal, think normal. i miss when i could jsut be ME and not some cyber fake chick. PLEASE HELP ME IM IN NEED OF GOOD ADVICE.
What you did is understandale. No one is perfect we all make mistakes and honestly, it takes maturity to realize a mistake, and admit it and desire to change it for the better. So, first I want to commend you for your question and honesty.
If you have missed school and failed classes, the first thing to do is what you are doing, correcting it. Great job on deciding to go to summer school. While going to school the focus has to be on that while concentrating on not failing again.
The second thing is living in a small community, people are MEAN and judgemental. I lived in one too. Next, because people are already mean and judgemental, they are going to judge you anyway at some point. Seriously. So, You shouldn't give a hoot about what anyone thinks of you, because whatever you do or decisions you make from now on should be about you, your life, and your happiness. With me so far?
Now, the word normal is the opposite of abnormal and you were never that,so let's remove that word from thought(it lowers self esteem)"smile". So, you want things to return to the way they previously were. Right? Now, previously you didn't like him the way you do now, and you have grown attached "to a certain sense" to the communication with him. This must be reversed in order to move forward. We are going to erase the things you want to erase and replace with permanent ink of the things you want to do to feel good about YOURSELF without thinking of what others think or will think of it. It's about YOU.
If you don't wish to be a cyber chic, then don't do the things that cyber chics do. Delete those pages and promise yourself that you done with that chapter of life. I would make NO contact with the guy you were communicating with either, regardless of what you feel. Close that chapter too, because it started off fake, and will end fake. Relationships tend to end the way they start, real talk. PLUS he may have a girl already from what you wrote in your question.
Good Luck and remember: NEW BEGINNINGS COME TO ALL WHO SEEK THEM. You can do it! make it a good one girl!

hey. for some reason ive felt lately that i dont "belong" anywhere. Like I do alot of activites, swim team, 4-H, ride horses, play violin, ski. But truth be told, im not like good enough at any of these things. Im good or ok, i do alot of activities but not really super good at any of them. Anyways, I have friends in each of like everything i do, but i always feel left out. At swim team, my friends like ignore me, in 4-H, im left out of what my best friends do together, in orchestra no one talks to me, and i try to bring up convos and such, im rele talkative. And skiing, same thing. I feel like really lonely. And there is only like one person i can tell anything too. But it seems like i dont belong anywhere. And I know i like attention, i was first born, so. I'm starting to think I dont even belong with my family. I guess it doesnt even matter. I have really low-self esteem when i talk about this stuff. And im not exactly happy with myself, im trying to lose weight and look better, i want to be a normal teen, even though there is no such thing as normal. I feel like no one in the world cares about me at times. I feel like an outcast...
You mentioned that you were first born and like attention - is the fact that you aren't being approached first or consulted with pertaining to opinions or certain subjects with your friends, part of feeling ignored? Or are you honestly being ignored? (you walk up, they walk off? you talk, they don't answer you.)I know you said you are real talkative, so what happens when you are talking? Are you talking about things they know about or subjects that require input or are you just talking?
I am asking you this because I was an only child and also was used to attention and being the center of attention without doing things to get it, when I got in high school, I realized that it wasn't like that anymore, and then I started doing things to get the attention, which caused people to outcast me, and ignore me - as I look back on it, I don't blame them, I would've ignored me too!
Something you said bothers me: You said-" im left out of what my best friends do together" - If this is the case, then why are they still considered as your best friends? Being that they USED TO BE your best friends, ask them what their deal is, and why the sudden change or has it always been this way and you are just noticing it? just because you consider someone your best friend, doesn't mean they consider you their best friend. Been there done that, and it hurt like hell, huh? I had to cut them off because they were making me question and feel bad about myself, like I wasn't good enough. I remember trying out for the cheerleading team one year with all of my so called friends. I didn't make the team, they did. They completely ignored me. I was devastated and considered a nerd, a loser and I wore their opinions and actions towards me on the outside. I tried to kill myself, honestly. Finally upon not succeeding, I came to this conclusion: I am who I am. I will be who I am and set goals for my future because I AM GOING TO BE HAPPY AND DAMNED ANYONE who tries to prevent it even unintentionally. I had to deal with self. I went to counseling, and I encourage you to seek counseling too, especially about the low self esteem thing.
You are a normal teen already! If you lose weight or wish to change your appearance, do it for yourself girl and not to fit in with some A holes who you think don't accept you. I am encouraging you to go on line and look for sites dealing with self motivation. Self encouragement, self improvement, how to increase self esteem. Time to take time out for self and STOP worrying about people who are ignoring you. If you are to attention, just as I was too, learn to give it to yourself. You will find it to be a beautiful thing to attend to self while learning to love who you are as a person.
Sure, you belong with your family. Why not suggest a family activity together? Family is your safe haven. Family is your confidant. My best friend today is my mom. I didn't realize it as a teen but as I went through BS of life, I realized how important family was and is. I thought I didn't fit, but it was my own personal issues that I had to face and address. It wasn't them not fitting into me, it was me not fitting into them because I was lost myself and didn't fit in with self.
There is a such thing as normal. The opposite of normal is abnormal and you are not that, which makes you normal! Try making new friends, try joining new clubs, try going new places! go on chat lines and meet people your age to see what you all have in common. Start being more selective with who you consider as a friend, especially a best friend! If no one talks to you in orchestra, talk to them! if they don't wish to talk to you, cool. talk to someone in Algebra or Trig! You do belong somewhere, you just have to experiment and try out new things to determine which piece fits the puzzle perfectly. Before doing anything, first please learn to get happy with self by loving self first and foremost.
should you feel that you want to talk to someone, you may email me at anytime you want. sophia_pettus@yahoo.com
so i dont know really know what my problem is exactly. i have just been feel really "empty" lately. i don't know why this is happening, but i just feel like my life has no meaning right now. i mean i go through my day smiling and laughing, acting all happy. and then night brings this feeling of complete emptiness and i dont know what to do about it. i feel like i am missing something, like there is something important taht i need to be doing but i just feel blahh. i feel like i am always on the verge of tears no matter how happy i look. there has been talk of moving in my family, and it hasnt really been bothering me... but do you think maybe like subconsiously i am worried and that is what is making me so down? if not, what is going on with me? and how can i get out of this funk that I am in?
any advice is much apprectiated. thanks!
It all starts with loving yourself and yes, it does involve INTERNAL CHANGE. Based on some past questions and histories, I have honestly identified some reasons as to why this is happening to you. Emptiness comes from always emptying your vessel and not filling it up. What happens if I have a cup of sugar and I keep pouring it out without filling it back up? It gets empty. You feel that you are missing something because you haven't yet begin to search for anything and you won't open up to receive anything internally. If you don't stand for something, you fall for anything and to fall is to be held down, lowered. The talk of moving in your family HAS been bothering you, so why are you saying it hasn't been bothering you? GIRL,LOOK You are going to have to accept, acknowledge and admit or you will not get the help you need because of your refusal to help your self and I AM REALLY TRYING HERE! I am not going to beat you down or point fingers at you, I want to build you up and encourage you while supporting you. You are lost, ALL of your questions asked display that and I have been where you are (with just about all of your questions in some way or another). The first step of getting out of this funk is to reach out and grab the hand that is trying to help you, IF you really want to be helped. I am done with it. I have given you my contact information and again, I am here. I will wait until you are ready.
I am just going to give you my email address, once again dear heart.
sophia_pettus@yahoo.com
I am alone in home for more than 12 hrs. I would like to know how to utilize this leisure time usefully?
utilize this time for self improvement. I love improving self more and learning more about self.
Read, internet surf different columns supporting and advising how to accomplish and acheive more out of life so that you can be happy. The fact that you are claiming to be lonely tells me up front that you have some internal issues that you are dealing with and not mentioning. Start working on those issues causing loneliness.
Introduce yourself to different types of music. Think of some interest and hobbies, and do them. Think of some things that you really want to do and do them - swimming lessons, dance classes, social groups, writing poetry, songs, books of experiences. I wish I had 12 hours in the day that I could do anything I wanted to do - but since I don't and you do, why not make the best out of it.
Try getting a job. I am not sure of our age, but that's an option. hope this helped. If you want talk about something that you didn't want to post here since I am feeling like more is going on than you have shared with us, feel free to email me. sophia_pettus@yahoo.com
How can you Love Yourself....but NOT be conceited?
Loving self and conceited are two different definitions all together. The differences are internal and external.
To love yourself is to cherish, respect, honor, appreciate, encourage, challenge, motivate, succeed, push yourself to the limits.. POSITIVE THINGS. Making sure that you look good to feel good internally about self is not being conceited,it's loving yourself. Not giving a D about anything or anyone else but how you look is conceited.
Thinking that no one in this world looks better than you is conceited and it's vain. Loving yourself is a beautiful thing but praising yourself is conceited.
I have added some links to show you how to love yourself- check em' out.. It's very interesting and upon doing this, you will see the difference in loving self and not being conceited.

Hope this helps
On May 22 I was given devistating news that after an 18 month battle with cancer my 9 year old cousin would die in any where from 2 days to 2 weeks. This news devistated me and left me not only depressed but i found myself isolating myself from others. Images ranging from him laying in bed paralized (he became paralized from teh waste down) to him laying there thinking (his organs began shutting downa nd week 2 he was not responding to anything) On June 4 he passed away which just sent me more into a down hill sprial. More images poured into my head and again more after his funearl on June 7. Now i find myself seeing his face every time i close my eyes-- pictures of him in his casket or burning in fire ( he was cremated after his viewing & service)
now i'm stuck.. trying to start a new beginging without him in ym life but with no help
i wnot talk to anyone but my boyfriend about it- and he seems to avoid the topic because he doesnt know waht to say.
so what do i do?
hwo do i move on with life?
how do i wake up every morning withotu first thinking if it was a terrible dream?
life has to go on, the world wont stop for me.. so what now?
i need to learn to "move on"
i'll never forget his strength, his courage, or his smile
but im afraid that if i move on, i'll forget
and i just can't let it be tru ein my head
so now what?
i just need help..
experiences, spiritual guidence- anything
please help!
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin. My heart truly goes out to you, as I have been there.
I understand completely. My grandmother passed away in 1998.It is now 2008 and I still hurt the way I did when the family found someone bold enough to tell me. I was very close with her. I used to live with her, and she was like my mother, more of a mother figure to me than my real mother.
Celebrate his birthday, every year. I let balloons go for my grandmother's birthday and I light candles all over the house. Her birthday is a spiritual ritual for me that will never be broken, because my 3 children also do this and will continue once I have passed. Also, why not start up a fund for children with cancer or help get donations to make a large one to funds or charities already started on his behalf?
Why not start a group for people to chat or talk about the ones they love so dearly and have passed away? Don't forget his life and let not his death be in vain - seriously.
Moving on is something that has to be done, as life moves on you must move with it, in order to sustain and achieve things in life that your cousin would've looked up to you for doing, but now he is looking down on you from above as you do it.
I have come to learn that those who leave us physically haven't left us spiritually or mentally. remember that. As a matter of fact, I still talk to my grandmother in my mind, in my dreams and when I do it, I can feel her right there. I have gone through some hell since she has passed, but as I go through it and come out of it there is a strength there combined with God's and I feel that it is her.
Part of the reason I chose to help others is because she helped me and others so much and I refuse to allow her death be in vain. Death is viewed as negative because of the pain involved, and that's so understandable. There is also a positive within it to. The first positive is that there is no more suffering, sickness or pain. The second positive is that you have the ability to help others who are going through this. As you help others heal, you are also healing yourself too. The dreams that you are having, really compels me to encourage you to seek counseling now rather than later.
I am praying for your strength to carry this tremendous load up the mountain placed before you. Keep climbing, you are going to reach the top one day. Never forget his life because he will live on inside of your heart, soul and mind. Remember the good times and look forward to better times! my email address is sophia_pettus@yahoo.com. FEEL FREE to email me at any time.
lets say youre in this situation. (its also mine..)
from grade 1 to 9, you had nearly straight As. you were an overachiever. your parents were proud of you. stress never got to you.
in the 10th grade, you were SOO tired of always getting the straight As and the stress got to you so much, that you just completely let yourself go. you always felt like sleeping, you would go days without eating..and days where you ate too much. you never felt like doing homework anymore and felt the need to look at the mirror and look perfect for a boyfriend more than doing work in school. you've found that you're losing friends and your grades slip slowly...to a point where you're getting Cs instead of the As you thought you would get in certain subjects. you only do what is easy for you and you dont even study for tests. you finished the year off...normally. average. not as the overachiever straight A for final grade person you used to be.
would you think this is depression? why would this happen to a person who has never done bad in anything..? all of a sudden? it just doesnt make any sense to me! I'm slowly getting better and hopefully will get back on track by next year. But I don't know what happened to me. What would you think?
16/f.
yep, I think it is depression. I can identify with being an over achiever. I did the same thing when I was in highschool. I was depressed because I was bored in life and got tired of being classified as a nerd, or a geek. I had little friends and so I went into a serious depression,too. First think about what has happened that has caused you go into depression.
I hope that you honestly sit and analyze what the problem could be, only you know what has changed in your life, to cause you to change your habits of eating, studying and making good grades. Most people go through changes every 7 years of their lives, the changes do effect their mental stability, causing depression from the chemicals released just as it does their physical state. .
Once you've identified when the changes started and what was going on at the time of the change, email me at sophia_pettus@yahoo.com. I think I can help you. I went through it as a teenager and my 16 year old son and 15 year old daugher did too.
I find myself constantly trying to be happy instead of just being happy. Everytime I do feel a sense of happiness and accomplishment, I let the following small bad thing bring me down.
Apparently, I'm not clinically depressed, or bipolar (I checked), so I'm just wondering, are there tips to meditate or let go, or just exercises to basically help me feel as confident as I was as a younger person?
Seriously, I'm open to anything at this point.
I went through the same thing as a teenager and an adult. Honestly, I go through it about every 5 years. I am not bi-polar or clinically depressed either. The term is called maturity. It's time to set futuristic goals, and accomplish them in yearly intervals. You make mention of accomplishment - happiness is maintained in measurement as is achievement. To have the ability of looking back on something you set as a goal, and reach it, feels great. Create a journal, listing the things that you want to obtain, receive, or accomplish within one year - as you do it, cross it out and go the next goal or plan. Whenever you begin questioning self of feel like you are self-challenging yourself (which nurtures temporary happiness only and not complete consistent happiness), pick up that journal and remember the things you have done. I will share the things that really helped me and still help me.
I believe in self-improving web sites and books. I believe in attending motivational seminars. I have been blessed of having the opportunity of working with people in my church to encourage happiness, and self worth with them - self love, self worth, knowledge of self is also a key to happiness.
I also have an interest in Yoga, in which I always recommend for the spirit, mental and physical aspects of being. It allows peace and serenity to enter inside of your being as a person. Welcome it and go for it. I feels great.
I also recommend lots of reading. I read all of the time. I have found that motivational books of encouragement while listening to relaxing music instead of rap all the time. The type of music listened to has much encouraging and discouraging factors within the lyrics. I am motivated by Jill Scott, Goapele, Erykah Badu, Floetry.. these type of artist are classified as neo-soul. Also watch the type of people you hang around with. They too have specific areas in your life that can help contribute to happiness or unhappiness. I found that out the hard way - they were honestly contributing to a major unbalance in my life - being unbalanced in any realm of your existence makes you unsure of how you feel (mad, sad, happy, unhappy, appreciative, unappreciative - you get the point of what I am saying)
So, there ya go my sweet, I hope this helps and congrads on choosing to have consistent happiness instead of temporary, some timey happiness!

im going to a party with drinking then to a thing with my family and friends after, if i get drunk what do i do to make it any better or my hangover the next day better?
Catch it before you get a hangover! Take 2 Aleve before you drink.. and before you go to bed, regardless of how you may be feeling, take some pepto bismol... have fun, be careful and most importantly be safe..
I think that I am over-analytical, and I dont let anything go. And I always look for a deeper answer, because to me, no one does something "just because". If someone asks me a question, my first thoughts are "why would they want to know that, what are they trying to get at?" I cant just simply leave it at maybe they are curious, or just have a general interest in what ever the topic is. Same principal for actions, like if someone does something for me. While I dont say anything out loud, I dwell on many things that possibly have no deeper side.
Am I paranoid or something?
This is a great question! I am the same way. I am always told that I am too analytical or that I think too much.
It isn't weird at all. It is detailed, and intellectual to have the ability to go deep. Have you ever taken a personality test or psychological evaluation? I have and it showed me that people think differently, they respond, and react differently. I am a very analytical person, and detailed oriented. I like detailed explanation and questions answered with depthtivity. I will say this, it is annoying when I am unable to communicate with people effectively - they seem to get annoyed with me by my questions or my answers. as I get annoyed with them for their simplicity. I am always told that I am too complicated or complex. I have heard it for years and I still hear it today - so that means that this is who you are, how you are and it must be accepted. I find NOTHING negative about being this way at all. I am actually glad to see someone else is the same way because it is very rare and odd to come across people that are gifted as such.
I have found that it does cause barriers within a relationship if the person you are communicating with isn't on the same level as you may be. I have found that it has prevented me from getting jobs too, it has caused me to basically be set apart, and considered as different because it's out of the norm. I love the way I am and I love the person I am, and have no intent of changing and I hope you don't either, because we aren't paranoid, we are in tune with our mental and have the ability to tastefully express it, acknowledge it,and intellectually think it. Be proud that you have the ability to go there!
Its mainly the members of my family, its like I just dont want to be around any of them, and I am constantly annoyed at nearly everything they do. My mother and father are split up, and I spend the weekend with my dad, and the week with my mom. And occasionally I visit my grandparents. Its like im the secret keeper, each "branch" (my mother/step-dad, father/step-mother, grandparents) of my family tell me negative things about one another, and tell me not to tell them. And I cant talk to anyone in my family about it because im afraid Ill just spill everything ive been told and everyone will start fighting. I have my own problems without being a therapist to my entire family!
Tell each one of them how you feel and how they have made you feel by telling you all of things they continue telling you. Let them know that you don't appreciate it and that it has to stop. Let them know that you have other things on your mind and don't have room for the things they are telling you and that you refuse to allow them to make you have a mental breakdown as each one of them seem to be having, and who knows it could be due to someone doing the same thing to them. A family counselor would also help and do wonders because there are some issues and concerns that need to be addressed within your family so that they can keep you out of it and let you enjoy your life!
FYI- Normally jacked up things that go on within families are generational curses, which mean that they have always gone on even before you were born and if someone doesn't break it now, it will continue to go on even after you are no longer here..
Good Luck! and I do commend your strength for dealing with this the way you have been now. It'll get better once you voice your true inner feelings!
i don't know what to do anymore.i dont really want to go into details but i can't stand it where i live anymore.
i can't stand living at the moment.i didnt realize until resently,but i dont really enjoy the things i usually do.I see a counceler,only because they thought i might need one after a natural disaster.Honestly that didn't effect me at all,but im soo tired of it all,the phycologist,my parents constantly reminding me of my mistakes,and on top of it i resently lost my best friend
it just feels like my life doesn't have meaning anymore.
please dont take this the wrong way,im not going to kill myself or anything,but i just dont know what to do,im not old enough to live on my own,my parents wont move,i dont know,but if i stsay here much longer i know i will grow insane
Dearheart,
I am so sorry to read this. Do you want to feel better or do you like feeling this way? I am asking you this because it is you who has control of your life and your feelings, so take owner ship and control over it. I understand that you recently lost your best friend and it seems really tough right now. I will say this, we go through things as people, because we are being given an opportunity to grow and mature while gaining wisdom. It will go on for the rest of your life, but it's not about what's going on, it's about how you handle it. First of all, if you feel that you are going to grow insane and you still live with your parents, imagine how life is going to be when you are out on your own. You didn't really go into detail so it's kind of hard to really talk to you as deeply as I would like.
Life may have no meaning to you because you haven't yet defined what life is to you yet. Without definition or direction "goals" there is no meaning.
If you do wish to talk to me you may email me at sophia_pettus@yahoo.com. I will read it no matter how long and yes, I will answer it. I want to share something with you: I didn't understand why so many things happened to me in my life at such a young age or why things continued happening to me as I got older - now I know why, it was to help others through whatever they are going through and so, I give myself 100% to the best of my ability. Your life too has a purpose, it is up to you to open your eyes to realize what that purpose is and once you see it, realize it, accept it, live it and share it - you will be happier far beyond the place you are in now in your life. Shut that door, lock it and open up another window to visualize your new door to open. You may not be able to open a door to a new place as you speak of, but open a new door to your life and what you can accomplish.
When my friend first started her birth control her doctor checked everything to make sure all her baby making stuff was okay and in the right shape?
Mine didn't she just handed it to me?
Should I have gotten a full scan on my "stuff" to see if I am okay before starting?
Is it normal not to have a checkups on that stuff before going on birth control?
The first time I was put on birth control pills, I wasn't checked either. I was given several sample packs to see how they would work out and how my body would react to them. You will have to go to the doctor in one year for a pap smear. At that time, they will check everything to see how the pills are working, and check with you regarding side effects such as nausea, headache, weight gain/loss, anxiety, depression, skin breakouts, period breakthroughs etc. If you aren't expereincing any of these symptoms then it's all good.
Dr's don't normally do checks before giving birth controls pills unless there's a reason for prescribing them differing from prevention. Some people are given birth conrol to help control menustration flow, abnormal periods, and cramps. Now, if that's the reason of a Dr. suggesting birth control, then Yes, you would have to be checked.
Hope this helps....
