Okay, so. I promised my bf I'd send him some of my private stuff. I only promised because he sort of forced me into promising but then I said it was no big deal. So I told him I would send it to him by the end of the day. But it turns out that things went wrong that day and I ran out of time to send it to him. I was gonna text him a sorry but then he called me a bitch for not sending it. How should I react!? (link)
you don't sound like a bitch to me. just sounds like he overreacted instead of being patient enough to ask you why you didn't send the private stuff. you didnt do anything wrong.


I was originally diagnosed with Depression a couple of years ago and had some therapy. In April this year I was prescribed antidepressants and my doctor upped my dose in November. I had a panic attack and a physiatric nurse told me that he thought it was unlikely that I was depressed and more likely that I had Anxiety Disorder. I went back to my doctor and she recommended that I continue taking the antidepressants and start a course of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in January.

Since then I have really been struggling to find any meaning or enjoyment in life. I'm feeling very lost and almost like I'm not really involved in my own life. I no longer feel sad all the time, just a constant sense of numbness and indifference.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to what I can do?

I am 22 and I also suffer from general anxiety disorder. I was on antidepressants during high school. then I moved in with my husband and got off of them. but shorty afterwards I got pregnant, had my baby, and started experiencing postpartum depression. no thoughts of hurting my baby but i did feel hopeless, like there was no meaning to my life. i had to get back on my antidepressants and pray like crazy. and then after six months of PPD I realized that I wasnt crazy and that everyone at some point in their young adult life asks that same question. does my life have any meaning at all? the answer is yes it does. your purpose may not be what you expected it to be when you were still a kid growing up, but you definitely have one. we all do. and it maybe 50 years before you ever figure out what that purpose is. my grandmother is in her 60's and she recently told me she is still looking for her purpose. but until then enjoy life one day at a time instead of worrying about what your future purpose holds. it will come with time. and stick with your therapy and medicine too. i wish i could go to therapy. i have to wait until i get my insurance next year. i hope this helped a little.


The same thing keeps happening when ever I get into a serious relationship
I'm a 19m by the way

We have sex and it consumes the relationship

I can't really talk to my friends about it

I have no reason to complain I have an above average sized "package" about 9" and I have sex atleast once a day I live the mans dream but it isn't a relationship and that's what I really want any advice would help (link)
There's nothing wrong with having sex atleast once a day. it doesn't necessarily mean your relationship is consumed with sex. Unless the only reason you are having sex is because that is the only thing you both have in common. otherwise it would become a problem. if that is the only thing you both have incommon then ya'll need to sit down and find another common ground. go out and do things together. but most of all, make sure you communicate. communication is the most important key in a relationship. communicating will keep you in a relationship a lot longer than sex will. and if you are still looking for another girl, then when you begin dating don't have sex for the first few dates atleast. Talk about each others hobbies and interests and really get to know each other. then you will have already achieved a common background and the rest will fall into place. Im 22 btw so i totally understand where you are coming from. hope this helps. good luck.


im 15 years old and I switched from a private school to a public school in the middle of the year because of bullying. I've been at my new school for about a month and a half at first things were alright but now i often skip my classes and my grades are really low, and I sleep A LOT. At least in my other school I had better grades even if I was bullied and at least I had some friends, I do try to get good grades but when i check them they are D's and F's. I'm wondering if I should switch back to my old school but I'm not sure because my parents worked really hard to get me out of that school and into my new one. Its so hard for me to get out of bed in the morning because it feels like there's nothing to look forward to and I've told my counselor this and she says it sounds like depression but what would help? I'm mostly concerned about my grades it seems i try so hard but I can't get them up? I thought public school would be easier then private . I just try to take it day by day and just try to get through each one at a time, I've only been going for a month and a half and it feels so long and I've even skipped a lot, In my other school I would never skip or anything bad the only problem was I was bullied. On the weekends I hangout with my old friends and it makes me really happy and the week easier, but on the weekends they are busy and they cant hangout then I find the next week of school very hard. I think part of the reason my grades are low is because I'm still trying to figure out public school and there systems work because I've gone to the same private school my whole life. I try to make friends by talking to people but they are just friendly to me not really friends....I want to go back to my other school but at the same times I don't. Some days are worse then others and I'm tired of it all. Everyday feels the same. I'm not interested in things i use to be interested in anymore. (link)
I went through something a little like you are when I was 15. 22 now. but mine was the other way around. i moved from a school where my friends were to be with a guy that i was dating at the time. only problem was that some boys began bullying me at my new school. bullying is no fun. it ruined two of my years at my new school. but you have escaped that now. you havent given your new school enough time. just have patience. you will make friends and your grades will get better but you have to stop skipping classes and get into gear mode. get yourself out of that rut of sleeping alot because that only makes things worse when you start sleeping all the time. you get lazy. start being more social and get into some extracurricular activities. youll make it. just try a little harder and get out of the rut your stuck in. :)

I am a Christian. I have been all of my life.
Some people tell me that Christian's do not get depressed because they have found God's love. I know where they are coming from, but I feel myself fighting depression. I always feel alone.I keep having bad thoughts. I feel like my family will never understand what I am going through, I try telling them but then they feel bad because I am just acting negative and am not being thankful for the life that them and God has provided for me. We don't really have the money right now for conseling. I am not 100% sure what my question is,i guess i have a few. 1.) does anyone know free conseolors online?or free chat where you can instant messageanyone? 2.) are there any websites where I can havea chrsitian penpal? 3.) does it get any better (link)
first of all dont listen to other people. depression is a mental problem that even Christians sometimes have to take medicine for. i have a book on it that my grandfather gave me. in it the author and Christian psychologist "Dr. Archibald D. Hart" made a list titled " the ten most rediculous thing you can say to a person with anxiety." one of them is "if you had more faith, you would stop worrying" or "have you committed some sin that God is punishing you". the truth is that Christians more than anyone else have depression problems because of the world we live in. anyone else who isnt a christian has nothing to worry about becuase the devil doesnt have to bother them. they are already doomed. but Christians are an easy target for pain and suffering. the only anxiety that God is against is worrying about things you shouldnt when God is going to take care of those things anyways. and he is. you will get through this. I had to start taking antidepressants and praying more and i just had a child so ive really been goign through depression. my grandfather is one of the most christian men ive ever known and he suffers major depression. like i said it will get better and if you did decide to take medicine God would not put you down for it. just keep praying. ive tried finding counselors for free and ive had no luck. the only thing i can tell you to do in that case is find some counseling through the church. a preacher or someone. God bless you.


how do i get rid of somebody i love??? (link)
oh you can do it. women can do more than they give themselves credit for. if he doesnt care about you then drop him and find someone that does care. you will make it through i promise.


so I dated this girl for a month.(im a chick as well). We broke up but now are maybe getting back together. She said I was too clingy. We just started dating so we was hanging out a lot and I was staying. So how can I not be clingy this time around? (link)
if you are so clingy and she didnt like it then why is she wanting to get back together with you. it sounds like she likes you the way you are. so stay that way. thats just who you are.


So I might hang out with my friend (n) on friday and my other "friend" (g) is jealous I'm hanging out with n so g invited me over just to make sure we don't hang out. It pisses mi off how jealous she is. G drives me nuts, she even called my mom and texted her to see if it's ok to hang out. So now my ma said I should go and if n can hang out than g has to come. I'm super mad and don't want g because she always texts when we hang out. She never talks to me in school too! (link)
sounds like g is trying to just keep you from hanging out with n instead of actually being your friend. especially if she doesnt even talk to you at school. its just a jealousy thing. you shouldnt even waste your time with g. go hang with n.


So I have a crush on a kid I've only met once in person. It wasn't even a real conversation that we were having either, just a passing thing. Anyways, I've seen him in common areas at our school several times and we've caught each others eye, but I shy away like the school girl I am. I finally friended him on FB and I commented on a post of his, and then he went through my statuses and liked one from two days prior, and we talked on his post quickly. I've developed an embarrassing crush I suppose, since we've never had too many in person talks because we never have the same classes. But we both love the theater, fashion, movies, music, and other hobbies so it's not so completely out of the blue. The other thing is whenever I see him in person I kinda shy away still because I'm very self conscious. Ugh, is it stupid or should I try to work for it? (link)
I think you should go for it and not be embarrassed. it sounds like he likes you.


how do u know when u have a orgasm , im a girl and i never really known if i had 1 before sooo tell me how i know please? (link)
Oh you will know because it will feel like a BIG release and for a split second all your worries will go out the door. it is an amazing feeling. so if you arent sure if you have had one or not then you definately havent because when you do, you will know. hope that helps a little.
