I went through the same thing. I'd try and tell my parents to get help, but it was useless. Since you're in college now, you're an adult. Go talk to someone. Talk to your general practitioner about your symptoms. Are you more depressed in the winter at all? If so, there's something called seasonal effective disorder. If this is the case with you, you could try light therapy. It's been very helpful to me. You may be opposed to medications, but they truly do wonders for some people. Have you considered going on an anti-depressant?

i see your point. i was just throwing out random ideas. sorry.
-
Yes, I see she's 14....but when I was her age, the doctor was more than willing to give me that just to get me to quit... I suppose it is illegal though...
-
what did your mother have to say about this? Are you still in therapy?
-
you need to take control. it's your life. you're the only one who can truly choose your own outcome. It sounds a lot easier than it is. I know. I was raped too and that caused so much of my depression. There are a lot of people who care about you. Are you suicidal or more along the lines of experimenting with cutting?
-
I'm really sorry to hear that... was this reported? Have you tried counseling?
-
if you're willing to talk to a doctor, they could prescribe to you these little things that act as cigarettes. they don't smoke, but when you feel the need for a cigarette, you puff on them and they release nicotine. Or, you could try the gum? Or the patch? Do your parents know what's going on?
-
If you're willing to tell me, I'm wondering what is the cause for all of this self-harm? Was there any sort of physical or sexual abuse? Verbal abuse?
-
Because smoking is more of a 2-part addiction, which do you feel is hardest for you, the chemical addiction (i.e. nicotine) or the physical/mental addiction (i.e. the movement of your hand to your mouth)?
-
Is there anyone you can talk to about this? Self-injury is a very bad habit to get into. Are you able to talk to any of your close friends? I remember being 14. I was the same way you are now. I smoked, I cut... I was miserable. Just k now you're not alone. If you need to talk, please feel free to PM me anytime
-
you started smoking when you were 12? And you're from michigan? I am too and I know how depressing it can get in the winter time. I can also guarantee that if you quit now (or at least cut back), it will be a million times easier for you than if you try and quit 10 years from now. Edit: I just realized that didn't come out as nice as I meant to... I mean you no disrespect, just trying to better understand your situation
-
Yeah, I agree. You do look attractive in your profile photo. I also agree to get out more, go to a club. What kind of hobbies and such are you interested in? Possibly find a group of people with similar interests.
-
I was about to say the same things as flower... What about YOUR children? How does your wife treat them? What I mean is, does she try to get them motivated (I know you said theyre great in school and everything), but does she treat all three kids equally?

a 1 or 2.... totally awkward... back of his parents' van in the middle of the night... both of us were virgins... eek...

Ex now getting married to my ex best friend
jengh replied to Fallback guy's topic in Healing After Break Up or Divorce
I'm not really sure on what to say. I know nothing I say will make it better. But I will say that I'm truly sorry for all of your losses. I can't imagine how awful just ONE of those things would be, let alone having all of them pile up at once. Hang in there. -
I'm sure you've heard this a million times, but wash your face twice a day! Morning and right before bed. It's such a simple thing that many people just don't take the time to do. I've mentioned this before, but I use crabtree and evelyn's rosewater glycerine soap. It's amazing. Dries things right up

Doc found a lump in my breast.. im 22
jengh replied to Katiebaby's topic in Health: Body, Mind and Spirit
yes, me too... it freaked me out though... I was a mess until I had tests done. I'm sure it'll all work out just fine. Just stay positive -
Yes, I can't remember exactly what the name of it was. It took 3 different shots. 2 of which were 10x stronger than morphine. Guess I couldn't have gotten rid of that on my own
-
Thanks so much for everyone's responses. I wound up going to the ER. My roommie was at her boyfriend's house, but came home immediately to drive me in. I spent 4 hours in that hospital. It turns out I also have something else wrong with me (it's really embarrassing...scabies) so it's a great thing I went in. But yeah, thanks again. Just figured I'd update
-
excellent. Thank you. I'd appreciate it.
-
I take the pills. They usually do the trick. The last time I tried the shot, it didn't work for me for some reason. I just moved downstate so I don't have a doctor here yet. And I have no idea where the ER is. Plus, Im not sure if I'd have to pay anything up-front. I have insurance, but someplaces want the co-pay immediately.

I get migraines 2-3 times per week. The one I have now is incapacitating. Light kills me, I've been vomiting. I can't get rid of the thing! I take Imitrex for them, however, I'm out and can't refill until the 24th. I've tried Excederin, didn't help. I tried an ice pack, didn't help. I tried a shower, didn't help. I'm running out of ideas here... Does anyone have any tricks? I've also tried sleeping it off
-
thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
-
I told him today that she has a "serious" boyfriend and loves him. I also told him that she doesn't like him. He seemed crushed. In a twisted way, it made me feel really good
-
thanks, flower... The guy just showed up to talk to me... he was a complete jerk about it. Saying how what little we had meant absolutely nothing to him. He said how I was acting like he was my possession. He said they were telling each other how much they liked one another. Then he wouldn't leave. I asked him, please just go away. He wouldn't. Kept badgering me. Finally, though he did leave. It was all I could do to keep from crying. So I called my friend and she said that is not what she said, she said she liked him as a friend. I dont know if she was sincere or not. Ughhhhh
