EMERGENCY
Posted Thursday September 7 2006, 8:00 pm
okay heres the problem each year when I made a friend the next year that "friend" would not talk to me or anything we would "move on". so in 8th grade I became really good friends with this girl named renee and we were all cool and everything but when it hit summer i called her but the problem was she didn't call me back. How do I get over this? I feel hurt and I always well not always but I do think about the things we used to do etc etc. So what do I do?

Self esteem?
Posted Wednesday September 6 2006, 8:31 pm
If you wanna just skip all this and get to the question, Then look at the very bottom.
Okay, I really didn't know what category to put all this under, because it's a variety of issues I'm having, yet it basically all comes down to one thing, Self-esteem.
This might be long, so I'm sorry, in advance, if you get a little confused. But to me there is no way for me to make this any less complicated unless I type out the WHOLE thing.

I need a mental health "wellness coach"
Posted Wednesday September 6 2006, 12:56 am
I have gone thru a lot of very difficult times this year--academically and socially. I moved to new york last year. I have few friends here, and the friends I do have i'm not really compatible with on an intellectual or interest-level. i.e., I enjoy reading about current events, the NYT, and ballet/jazz/classical whereas they enjoy clubbing/partying, hate discussing current events, and hate classical music, ballet, jazz, and in general, none of them have a similar type of intellectual curiosity as I do.

sleeping isn't all that bad; when all you do is cry
Posted Wednesday August 30 2006, 3:00 pm
i sleep a lot. like it's all i want to do lately. sleep. because if i dont sleep; i cry.
there's nothing i can do to make it better.. im depressed. and i refuse to talk to a counselor or what not, i refuse to take pills. so my quesion is, how do i make myself start eating and staying awake again? because my parents are beginning to worry..and if they get to worried they're gonna go to my school and talk to my teachers, which will just embarress me..so no thank you! so what can i do to look like im not depressed?
