Moop answered Monday January 17 2005, 2:57 pm: with your counselor group in school, do you ever tell them about your family problems? If you express that it's truly as terrible as it affects you then the adult leader(s) or whatnot of the counselor group should tell your parents something and they should try to remedy the situation. In addition to that, everyone is a "fake" at some point. If you look at the psychology of Carl Jung he says that everyone has a shadow bag which is pure creative energy that society represses. If we didn't have personas (the brain's compromise between the shadow bag and society), everything will fall to pieces in the world between those who were "fakes" and those who restrain themselves too much. If you've ever seen Fight Club, it's a good illustration of all of it. [ Moop's advice column | Ask Moop A Question ]
S_C answered Monday January 17 2005, 2:56 pm: I hate to say it but I know how you feel. So like when you say you're in a councilor group at school does that mean that you see a councilor? If so does he/she know how you're feeling. I can give you 101 ways to cope with stress if you want. Just leave one in my inbox saying What are 101 ways to cope with stress or something like that. Is there a particular reason that you're unhappy? Like has a friend recently passed away, or have you been on drugs? Like do you think you're depressed and you need to be medicated? If so then tell that to a councilor or try talking to your parents. Are you just stressed because of grades? You didn't leave me much detail so it makes it hard to help. Like maybe if I knew your situation at home, or your age/grade. Are you new at your school? Have you just moved. Do you know why you are unhappy? I know the feeling of wanting to kill yourself because I've gotten that feeling before, but no matter how much you want to you have to get past it. Things may look bad now, you might feel like you're drowning, but it can't rain forever. If those times at school are the only times that make you happy then try to find a way to do something that makes you happy there at home. Try to let a teacher or someone know how you feel. When I had thoughts of suicide the 1st person I turned to was my favorite teacher, and she was of some help obviously seeing that I'm still here. I mean I can't say that life is perfect, or even that life is great or anything like that because it isn't, but you have to be happy with what you have. Like with this advice thing, I know that there are some people out there that haven't liked my advice, or that took my advice and had a bad outcome, but I have to get past that and realize I can't give perfect advice to everyone, all I can do is try my hardest and hope that everything works out for the better. Now if you want to either put another post in my inbox or e-mail me at Bull_Dawg_Babii@yahoo.com then feel free. My bull_dawg e-mail adress is for advice related stuff only, but if you want to just talk then e-mail me at Maniac_Munchkin@yahoo.com that's for ANYTHING!!! Good luck, I'm sorry that you're unhappy with things. Oh, do you want any websites that help people realize suicide isn't the answer? Or would you like the TEEN TALK number to call? If so the teen talk number is in my column profile, and if you want ANYTHING, no matter what, e-mail or drop one. If I can't help I'll find someone that can!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck :-) [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
BeautifulMadness answered Monday January 17 2005, 2:09 pm: Aww, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad :( All I can really suggest you do is make a list or focus on all the good things in the day, every day. It'll help you to be happier by focusing on the positive :) It's really great that your counsellor group is good - are there any other people in it you could make friends with and talk to? Either way, you should get how you're feeling out - maybe in a diary if there's no-one to talk to? I reckon you should also try and figure out what's making you unhappy - is it just your parents, your home life in general, little things mounting up...?
I know how you feel about your parents. Mine are the same. Sometimes we just have to stick with it and we come out better people because of it. Besides, if you ever have kids, you'll know exactly how to be a brilliant parent because you'll know exactly what to not do! Just remember that you can get out of your house in a matter of years, and it'll make living in your own house extra special!
I really, really hope things get better for you soon, and you can always email me at mitzirox1986@hotmail.com if you ever want to rant! :)
Blessed Be,
