Um over the counter?
Posted Tuesday February 26 2008, 5:46 pm
Hi ... this is probably stupid but I need to ask.
Can anyone just go into a drug store and buy the "over the counter" brands like cold/headache medicine? Or do you have to be a certain age.
Because if anyone can buy stuff just like that, wouldn't it be extremely easy for people to purchase stuff but then use it to get high?
Thanks if anyone answers. :)

Depression
Posted Monday February 25 2008, 10:42 pm
I don't understand why, and I dont want to have to consult another adult. But every so often I get extremly depressed and I stop eating for like a day or so and it scares me because what if it gets worse and I stop eating alltogether? I think it has to do with my dancing, because I'm the biggest girl out of all of them and when we get measured and such I am always really embarissed. And I always feel like I'm leftout a bit while I'm dancing but then other days I'm having a blast at dance with everyone. I also play 3 different intruments, sing, and do theatre, french immersion, and a smart people math. Is getting myself into all of this trigging off something? I dont really ever feel stressed but am I actually? Please help!

pretty much want to die...
Posted Monday February 25 2008, 1:24 pm
I'm completely miserable and pretty much want to die now. I can't stand the winter weather anymore. I can't sleep anymore. I'm really sick with a sore throat and fever that won't go away. Things with my boyfriend which were going perfectly, my family loved him and he was living at my house are totally ruined because my dad walked in on us having sex and kicked him out and he's "not welcome in our home anymore". So things are awkward between me and my whole family and him now. I'm doing badly in school and still fighting with my sister. I hate my job. I'm completely miserable. So should I just say f*** it and like kill myself or something?

Depression And Pregnancy
Posted Thursday February 21 2008, 10:33 pm
I've got problems with anxiety and depression and I am currently medicated for both. I've done well for quite a long time now. My husband and I would dearly love to have children together. I have recently seen a psychiatrist that pretty much scolded me for even considering to have children... I was hurt and shocked because I had never been treated like a handicapped person that shouldn't breed before. Are other people aware of this issue? If you are... what are your thoughts? Am I nuts for wanting children? Should I completely forget about it because of my problems? Any input of any opinion is welcome.

Perfectionist...!
Posted Wednesday February 20 2008, 10:06 pm
I'm a perfectionist I guess you could say. But I don't have like OCD and things don't have to be in the right spot..etc. However, on like tests and stuff, I study so hard and when I get the test back to find I got a 93%, I freak, beating myself up and things. The biggest problem is in school. If I don't get a 98-100% I tend to give myself a HARD time. How do I get over this? This happens in sports too. If I do one thing wrong (bad pass, miss a layup, etc.) that's all I think about the whole game, which causes me to mess up more.
Pleeeaassse... any help is welcome! Thanks!

Does depression come in waves?
Posted Wednesday February 20 2008, 9:20 pm
I am seeing a therapist soon, so I know I can ask there... but I was just wondering...
If someone feels depressed for a few weeks, then all the sudden back to happy (seemingly out of nowhere?) is that a symptom of depression?

mood swings
Posted Saturday February 16 2008, 11:48 pm
as long as i can remember ive been the really outgoing happy peppy girl. but just like last year i started to get major mood swings, and sometimes i would be super depressed an then like the next minute i could be bouncing off the walls and absolutely as happy as ever. sometimes i think about things way to much and overanalyze, and then other times i just dont care about anything and am the most optimistic person ever. ive been struggling with my grades and my love life has been a rollercoaster the past year so that might have to do with it. i also have 3 siblings all under 7 and im 16 so i was just wondering if this is normal? is there anyway i cant more control when i feel down? because i hate how it affects my friends sometimes. i fe...

I am having doubts on my sexuality
Posted Saturday February 16 2008, 11:17 pm
Ok I'm a 15 year old guy, ever since i was 8 I have always like girls,I asked my dad to let me see naked girls, I even whent on the internet once to see em because I was so curious.. I have in fact said that girls in my class were hott and have told them that... untill recently when I wasn't getting aroused by any girl... I looked at porn seeing if it may help I sat there and thought of naked women it didn't work.... I am postive I'm straight and I have never even thought I was gay, I never have liked men , I have friends come over all the time we don't do anything odd we usually hang out and play video games. Lately it has freaked me out the fact that I'm not being aroused by women.
What does this mean?
Also does stressing out over something like this make me gay?

Needing someone to talk to....
Posted Thursday February 14 2008, 9:23 pm
