Are You a Depressed JC'er?

where are you guys going after prom?

 

I do not know. Probably taking her home.

 

Do something romantic. Flowers, make a homade card, maybe record her a mix tape of just words from various songs asking her out (make a sentence out of them). Ask her.

I know it's hard, but you'll kick yourself later if you don't. Trust me.

Well in high School 6 months may seem like a long time but over all it is not. Look forward not backward. Take this chic out and have a good time. Nothing cures a heartache quicker than a good time with a new chic!

 

Depressed; no.

I do find getting <4 hours of sleep on some nights, and less than 6 most weeknights extremely annoying though.

Bad study habits (aka T3H 1NT4RN3T!!)

 

The other night, I was in the shower. And I've been really overwhelmed with some things lately. I feel to my knees and started crying. It didn't take long for me to start beating my fists and head on the bottom of the tub. I felt like screaming, as well, but I would have woken everyone up.

I feel really alone right now. I can't get anyone to understand that. I keep getting told, "You have friends that care about you and worry about you." And apparently, that's supposed to make me feel better. But it doesn't. It only makes me feel worse. My friends aren't here to look me in the eye and tell me that it's going to be alright. My friends aren't here to hug me when I feel sad and lonely. They just aren't here.

 

KAst, i think carosal and hitmbig are right.

hitmbig, i miss your amy allen icon.

Other person whose user name i don't remember, what's going on that's making you upset?

 

I took personal psychology last semester when I was a psych major. And I spoke with my professor for a bit. Here's what she had to say. Along with what I asked.


I finally found my psych paper that you commented on. Yes, I've been looking for it for a while. I do have to respond to the depression comment if anything else. I've thought about this and I've come to the conclusion that I may have a form of depression. But I refuse to take anti-depressants for it as I feel that would be denying myself emotions I should be feeling. I take it as gaining perspective on my life. Sure I hate it sometimes, well, most of the time when it happens, but it helps me with my writing. I do want help for it, though, because I fall for women too easily, and it usually triggers the depression. Well that's all I have to say for now.

----------------------------------------------

Dear [name removed, like it's a big secret ] - Although it is a surprise to many people, antidepressants do not "deny a person the feelings they should be feeling" but have the exact opposite effect. When a person has a clinical depression that is the result of the brain's chemistry (which is what severe depression is), there is a biological and often genetic basis for the depression and anti-depressants bring those neurotransmitter's chemicals back into proper balance. A person can then BETTER feel their feelings and figure out what's going on in their life (whether dealing with grief or other stressors or circumstances) because the imbalance gets in the way of that. Please trust that I know what I'm talking about and that I care about you. Only a medical doctor can prescribe one of these medicines - a family doctor or (preferably) a psychiatrist since they specialize in diagnosing and treating mood disturbances and are up to date on the best antidepressant to use with which individuals.

I hope this helps and I hope you'll take a second look at the situation as regards medicine. Antidepressants truly do HELP people strengthen their NORMAL functioning, feeling, thinking and problem solving. Often counseling along with the medicine is what helps best of all.

All good wishes to you, John. Sincerely, Dr. Stearns

 

What is wrong with me?

Why can't I stop crying?

As I'm not religious, this is what helps me when I cry. Which I do often It cleans you kind of. Takes all the hate and sins away.

I'm not depressed but i'm "under the weather." I think i'm just overly pissed at my friend. She has a really nice guy who loves her a whole lot but she goes for some idiotic cheating guy. ( As I know this isn't the love thread this is where it kicks in...) He's really suicidal. I didn't know until he told me recently. He told me life wasnt worth living and that he was seriously thinking about taking his life. He's only a friend to me, but I care about him and about him taking his life.

Is there anything I should do?

 

fire, thanks for posting that note from your professor, that is an excellent explanation of what anti-depressent drugs do.

moose, what's going on that's making you upset?

emily, Just be supportive. Ask him how he is, and keep in touch with him. Alos urge him to get professional help.

 

NJOfan: just life really. The same old problems over and over again.

Back down again. Yesterday was the local Cockoo faire, a village thing that's usually fun, no one got me up so I could go to it though. It's not like I have any money though, so I couldn't have done anything had I gone.

 

well that sucks.

I'm currently have some problems with my family. My mother is really psycho, and she does nothing to help herself. She takes all of herproblems out on me. I hate that. I try not to hate her, but it's hard not to.

 

Been there NJO. I have the same problem. My mom's crazy a lot of the times. But I just think about how great she's actually made my life. And I know I'll always love her

 

I'm taking a dip back down, this time over the size of my boobs. They're so small it's like I don't have any.

 

Personality always trumps boob size.

 

Not when you have no boobs and you look like a man.

 

small boobs aren't bad, if you're a small girl or an athetic person. I dated a dancer that had very small boobs, but she had a really nice body, and was a cool person in general. Also, some would argue that it isn't so much what you have, as it is your ability to use what you have.

BTW: Shane's boobs are small, but she does ok for herself. She does have nipple confidence which might be part of the reason.

 

Wow, school has barely started for the spring semester and I've already been dealt a blow to my side. The girl I liked last term, who didn't like me but pretended to stay friends even though she ignored me for weeks has struck again. So we're choosing groups for group projects and in the morning the girl wasn't in class and I had an almost perfect group set up, but I had to be an idiot and open my (not-so-due-to-jaw-problems) big mouth and say can we just wait till she shows up otherwise she might not have a group she likes. Well, when she shows up, the groups got re-arranged and now I don't have a proper group because she decided to join this other one.

If I'd just kept my friggin' mouth shut and not gave a crap about her, I could have had a proper group. Why must I be so stupid? ARGH!!!!

Positive side of things: I'm getting paid $600 to work on submitting a report of mine to a journal. So the day's not a total write-off.

 

Wow, defiance, nice to see you around again. Bleep her. Just ignore her, and try to go after some other girls. Also congrats on your journal submission.

 

small boobs aren't bad, if you're a small girl or an athetic person.

I'm neither. I'm nearlly 6' tall and I'm a geek, but I do have a high metabolic rate (w00t) so I'm only 8 stone 8 (about 120lbs).

 

you're skiny, that's good.

 

Argh... this term's just getting worse and worse. I bought tickets to see ROTS, but 12 AM was sold out. No problem, they had 12:30 still. So I ordered that. And then I find out it's 12:30 PM, while I have class and it's non-refundable. I hate this term. Everything sucks so much.

I'm trying to meet up with new people but I can't make a connection with any of them. Maybe it's supposed to take time, but it's like I want to move on quick and get this all over with. Plus being unattractive does not help. And there's a whole story there about how I can't improve my appearance because of stupid physical ailments. Argh....

Someone please shoot me. I'll be post-humously grateful. Just wait till after I skip my two lectures on May 19th.

 

And now my dog's going to die too. What the hell is this? Nothing good has happened for the past 5 years and it's just been getting worse and worse all the time. And now this?
