I'm 15, female. I used to be an outgoing, bubbly cheerleader .. I got along great with everyone! I was confident in who I was. Lately, I'm not sure whats happened. I've limited myself to a few friends and my boyfriend. I barely trust anyone, and I always think of the negative side. No matter how hard I try to stay positive, things get to me and break me down. I'm not near as happy as I used to be, I get jealous so easily.
I want to get back to my oldself, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I've tried "just being myself" or talking to old friends but it always ends up me alone again. What should I do? I miss my perky and fun life. Help.

Next try to come to terms that things change, and people change and there's nothing you can do about it. (That's going to help with the trust issue) Trust is such a hard thing to re-establish. You need to realize that there's many different people out there, who are loyal and even disloyal. It'll take time to repair that aspect of your life. Give it time, things will change for you. Stay positive though, many times you'll just get such a personality change from that alone.
There's books out there like Self-Help books that might be able to help. One I'm reading is Nobody's Perfect. It's like short stories and poems and such. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

1.When I was around your age, I changed alot kinda like you but in different ways: I was scared of people, I use to think I was sucidal (scary but true), I was a nervous wreck. And finally I got help. The reason for all this was beacuse I was growing up and there was a imbalance in my body. This happens to everyone and could be happening to you. It took me 6 months to get back to my normal self, and if this is what is happeneing to you, Do not worry at all! It is normal and will pass by itself. But rember one thing, there was a study a while back and it showed people who talked more with other people became healthier people. So the quickest way to get better, is talking to someone you trust: your family, your priest, anyone. about what is happeneing to you.
