Unwinding
Posted Monday August 28 2006, 12:52 pm
Whenever I've attempted to start my summer homework, I can't concentrate because I have 57354842349 different things running through my mind.
Can anyone offer ways to concentrate on a boring book or to calm my mind down? I don't want this problem to go on any longer!!
Thanks so much.

ok so lately whenever i look at the mirror i look at like every. single. thing. on my face. and i notice all the things wrong with it. it's really starting to annoy me because every day i notice more and more t hings that are wrong with my face and i never used to be like this! i used to just look in the mirror from like a foot away, for 10 seconds after i put on mascara and be like "i look nice today" and then be satisfied. now i have to pay attention more, and i just want to know how i can make myself not care as much. i still want to look nice but i just think that if i keep doing this my self esteem will definitely go down...and it's weird because im not girly at all or anything im just paranoid about ho...

Crying
Posted Wednesday August 23 2006, 4:01 am
Okay, so I have this issue. I tend to block out all negative emotions - or things I see as negative - and have developed a physical habit of stopping myself from crying.
I learned and believe that crying is a good emotional outlet...but it never has been for me. I wondered if it was because there was no one for me to cry to, and along those lines I realized something else.
The only person I'm comfortable crying to is my ex-boyfriend because he made me feel vulnerable, but it didn't scare me. He made me feel like I could cry and it would be okay.
I'm a control freak - I can't stand to feel like I'm not in control of my emotions - and that gets in the way.
I'm at a point now where I NEED to find an outlet becaus...

depression
Posted Tuesday August 22 2006, 9:53 pm
Alright, I really need advice on this question. I think I might have depression. You see, lately I have been feeling so bad about myself for no reason. I've been getting so upset over the most obscure things, getting so jealous of other people, and just disliking myself. I've been crying for no apparent reason, and I have the worst mood changes. It's like I'm really happy one minute and then I get really bummed out and start crying and idk why. I always feel like everyone's so much better than me and I suck at everything but deep down I know that's not true. I have extremely low self confidence and I have no clue why because I have a lot of loving friends and family. And I took a depression screening test online and it said I might have mod...

I'm Writing a Novel
Posted Tuesday August 22 2006, 7:47 pm
I am currently writing a novel. I have about 70-80 pages done, and will soon need a title. The novel focuses mainly around the topic of self-injury, more specifically, cutting. Do any of you have an idea for a title? If I use it, and make any money off of the book, I'd be willing to give you a portion of the money. Any ideas?

Why do girls get more depressed than guys?
Posted Monday August 21 2006, 9:20 pm
I'm a columnist on here and have been for about a year or so. I've noticed hundreds of questions dealing with depression. While I understand that it seems to be more common in teenagers now, why is it that it is mostly girls? Is it the way they are raised? Is it imprinted in DNA? I'm interested in the psychological aspect of it and hope to major in it someday, but I've looked it up everywhere online and can't find a reliable source. Anyone know the causes of this or where to find it? Thanks.

Can I Deal With My Depression On My Own Without Seeking Help
Posted Friday August 18 2006, 11:32 am
I think I may have depression. I don't know if it is temporary or not. I have shown several classic symptoms of depression for nearly three months now, and I am so afraid to ask for help. I feel like there shouldn't be anything wrong with me, and I can't talk to my family about it, because I don't want it to become a huge ordeal. My mom has three sisters - the way they gossip, my problems would be all over the family before the words even left my mouth. I really don't want to draw any attention to myself because I am ashamed that I can't shake this feeling. Are there tips for dealing with possible depression without seeking help? Should I just treat the symptoms as they appear?

I think i have depression, but im not for sure
Posted Wednesday August 16 2006, 12:03 pm
Alright, the reason why i think im depressed is because im sad and crying for no apparent reason, im extremely sensitive to what people say to me that are insults (even if its a joke), i do have some happy moments and days. The crying has last for almost a month, much longer than it was before, so im thinkin i need to see a doctor, but im not sure. Can you guys/girls help me out and tell me if im depressed or not?

Porn alert
Posted Wednesday August 16 2006, 4:37 am
I don't know what group to place it in, but it is mental I can tell you that. My boy friend was the best person you could have ever imagined. Even though he is only 14 [so am I, female] He was great. He has the potential to do anything he sets his mind to, music, school, great with kids & adults, wonderful. One of the ,main thing I was attracted to, was his childness-ish. He was funny, not in a dirty way either, didn't swear, proclaimed to be saved and was ever-so respectful.
After about a few months af dating I allowed french kissing and holding, sorta a low quality makeout.Then it grew and grew, now, we didn't get into sex or anything and stayed on top of clothes, but I noticed a difference in him, about two months ago....
