If you are willing to stand by him and help him through it then I think you should try once more. Send him a text apologizing and just explain to him that you didn't know anything about it and you...

I think you should go out with your friends every once In a while.. Tell them to invite people they know so you can work on your people skills (meeting new people) Talk to a counselor about these...
I am officially done being unemployed! I went into my interview and they hired me on the spot.. It feels good that they accepted and so quickly. I'm really sick though which is putting me in a bad...

Thank you for the idea, my school counselor isn't that great she just types on her computer the whole time. Also, I'm a religious person so it's important to me to see a faith-based counselor Thank...
Thank you for your ideas, ill try some out and I understand what you mean when your parents think it is a reflection on them, mine are the same exact way. I understand I can't change them but I do...
That's a good idea but my therapist is giving me troubles (i talk about him in previous posts) Basically he doesn't let me talk much and he is a one-session kind of person (since he's faith-based he...
I am so sorry all of y'all went through similar situations.. Horrible as it sounds, I'm glad you guys understand even though I would never wish this on anyone My family believes in absolutely no...
I'm sorry you had to go through something similar.. My entire family has medical background, but they don't understand it. It seems the people who should understand don't- and the ones that...
Jamie, I haven't been here long and I already know how hard you're working and how far you've come You've been through so much and I'm proud of you (and I don't even know the half of it) Keep it up!...
It's hard sitting there watching your dad cry while he's telling you that you're the reason he's crying.. My depression has taken a toll on him and he told me he can't handle it and that I have no...
Wow! These are great ideas! I'm so glad your feeling well.. Keep it up you seem like you really have a hold on this...
I am currently going through that-just one day at a time.....
You have to trust her. She's seen many patients and many of them probably go through what you're feeling now.. And she's also seen them get through that Have faith! And don't doubt- doubting makes...
Try expressing these feelings to your therapist. Are you on any medications? Just be patient with this.. The road to healing is very frustrating but it's easier if you keep a positive and determined...
You should keep going to your therapist.. I agree with BnotAfraid it's going to take some time You need to work on separating reality from fantasy and have a realistic view of yourself.. Your self...
Thank you all for your advice! He seems to be a very one-session-get-better-immediately kind of guy and I need more than that.. We pay per session (not sure if everyone does) and finances are hard...
I'm excited that you're excited! Since you have trouble reading posts would it be better for us to still use caps when replying to you?...
The methods my counselor gave me don't seem to be working well.. I know I need to give it time but for future refrence: Should I tell him? I go to a faith-based counselor and the methods involve alot...
That's awesome!!!! No more caps for you! :P...
GOOD IDEAS! WHAT WORKS FOR ME: WALKS, MARATHONS, MUSIC, FRIENDS, SINGING/WRITING, WORKING (CRAZY RIGHT?), HEALINGWELL, THERAPY, PRAYER, SORTING THOUGHTS...
Thanks! He's known me since I was a baby so it was kind of sad for him to see me like this But he's amazing and thank you for the encouragement...

THANKS JAMIE, I HOPE ALL GOES WELL ON MONDAY... KEEP HEALTHY!...
Hi all, Just got back from my first therapy session. A little intimidating and it was alot to take in but I'm hoping for the best. Because of my age, were trying all other methods to help with...
Good luck!! That's such a wonderful goal to accomplish, I wish you all the best...
Scary that I've heard this before... It just doesn't seem "police-worthy", I feel if I get the police involved it'll be very overdramatic and exaggerating the situation He's only hurt me twice...
My friend saw he played it off as an accident and maybe it was I was asking for it.....
I do have to come in contact with him everyday I have a class in which I Sit next to him and we do assigned partner work alot and he sits with my group of friends at lunch I have in fact told him...
That's really great advice. I've tried doing that before but he came up to me and started tickling me and tried getting me to break I think I'll try that again but this time I won't give in no matter...
I have a huge soft spot for him. He acts like he wants me back and I completely fall for it. I've already cut contact with him but once he finds out he's going to spread rumours about me again... He...
It may be a combination of both making you feel this way.. Also the holidays are a hard time for anyone with depression Talk to your psychiatrist/counselor about healthy ways of coping, they usually...
