Shaving.
Posted Monday April 14 2008, 6:50 pm
So I just trimmed my umm. hair down there Yesterday. I just took my Razor and just shaved the ends. So it was shorter. I don't expect to have sex any time soon. I just felt uncomfortable on how long it was growing. So I did what I did.
But why is it like poking me and hurting and itching a bit?
Also, Will just trimming it with my Razor make it grow back faster? And more off it?
Sorry If it is in the wrong catagory

Depression?
Posted Monday April 7 2008, 10:20 pm
Well, for the past year I've been feeling more and more depressed.
I criticise everything I do/say/think - no matter how small - which almost always makes me feel like a horrible person and a failure. Looking back on the things I have done/said/thought (again, no matter how insignificant they might be), I want to smash my head against a wall or somehow erase it all.
Most days, I wake up morning and I just sit there. I feel I have no reason whatsoever to get out of bed. Whats the point when it all means nothing anyway.
My grades are falling. I have no energy, even after sleep, or desire for the things I used to like.
I find it hard to concentrate and everything seems blurry.

Winter Blues
Posted Saturday April 5 2008, 4:22 pm
In the winter time I get really depressed. The winter is just so dreary and cold, and dark. However, in summer when its warm and bright outside, i feel really happy and energetic again. I think there's a condition for this, but i'm not sure what it's called. i live in new york, so if you live here too, you know how the weather is in the winter. do you know what i could do to stop feeling so depressed in the winter? i heard something about light exposure therapy, maybe you can explain that. thanks

Over analytical
Posted Saturday April 5 2008, 12:45 pm
Sorry that I probably spelled that incorrectly. Long story short, I think too much. If something good happens, I think about it so much that I can turn it into a bad thing, and I think about bad things so much it eats me up inside and it's making me feel horrible, and not many people I know do this, or the ones that do, I'm not comfortable bearing it all to. I replay low moments in my life as long I have nothing way better to do. Basically, when I'm not talking, I'm mentally shooting down myself, I lower my self esteem about my personality and apperance and other things. Nowadays though, I don't have much of a life, so I can't really find other things to do to take my mind off bad things. All I have is my computer phone, and tv, because I'm...
