<font color=red>What's making you so stressed? School? Work?Women? whats up hun?
Have you ever tried meditiation or keeping a journal? Lighting incense? just closing off your room and putting on soothing music that sooths you? These things may sound kinda lame but its what I do depending upon how stressed I am and whatnot, but it always helps.<center>

I can sort of relate to you through personal experience, Sciler.I've thought about committing suicide numerous times...I tried it once, but I couldn't bear it. I'm usually really cheerful and outgoing at school and in public, and people always expect me to be like that in private too, but I get really lonely at home. I have a sister, but she's 19 and moving out soon, so I really don't have anyone to talk to, and my emotions get pent up, so I end up releasing them all in one burst. I really overreact to small things, stuff that shouldn't get at me, like my parents telling me off and stuff.....but after months of not being good enough, I get fed up, you know? I almost took my father's crossbow to my head once....I took the safety off and everything....but you're right, you can't just stop living like that...I still have friends and family that care about me, and who I care about. I can't just think of myself all the time. But I sometimes let my anger or sadness out in unorthadox ways. I've never had a family member die, but I get very emotional when pets die, and so on. I'm also really stressed about school, I'm coming up to GCSE and I'm really having a hard time coping....well I'd better stop clogging up the board, have a nice day all, I'm out.

Yes, I have problems. Serious problems. Like why is my bellybutton so full of lint? I mean, it's so white I have to use a mini screwdriver to pick out the lint.
Eh sorry, I guess that is a bit distasteful, but that is how I deal with anything and everything; my default barrier to good, bad or just plain shitty things; humor.
Anyways, I'd like to go on the record stating that psychitrists suck. I went to one for a while and all the lady did was blab blab blab about her life while I just sat there and nodded and muttered "Uh huh." Then she kept telling me to do very gay things as if I were in some damn teeny bopper movie from hell. "Invite a friend over and cook some 'sgetti'" Argh. Gee, then after that we could have a pillow fight huh! God, that lady was a moron.
But onto my list of problems.
1. My father. It actually doesn't bother me anymore and I want nothing to do with him. He brought some damn whore into our home and then ran off with her. But as far as I am concerned, he doesn't exist.
2. Serious relationship problems. For starters I was with this girl for a while then we broke up and then I tried getting her back for like 9 months or more, all the while being treated like a giant sack of shit. Every night I would go to bed depressed and pissed off yet I always fell into the same cycle the next day. Now I just met a new friend and of course, stupid me went and fell in love with her. Problem is she had a bf, yet she still strung me along and pretended like she had an interest in me bc "she didnt want to hurt me". Well gee, it sure hurts a lot more when a girl tells you basically "You can't love me" than not stringing me along the whole damn time.
3. Social issues. I don't like people. That's pretty much it. A lot of people think it's unhealthy that I really don't have any friend and bla bla bla but it doesn't seem to bother me so I don't care much about this one.
That's pretty much all I would be willing to talk about. I'm just pretty bored right and theres not a damn thing on TV.

I know what you mean, I'd usually try to deal with situations like that using humour too, but after a while, I just get so depressed that the effort of using wit requires more effort than I can muster. Oh well.....I suppose the only thing you can do is deal with it, right? We all have different ways of dealing, but as long as they work, who cares, right? Problem is, mine doesn't. If I cry, or shout, or just sulk in my room, I'm acting 'like a little baby' or I'm taking things 'totally out of proportion'. Of course, when it's someone elses fault, I shouldn't criticise or accuse, I should take the blame myself. Best thing to do, right? That's what my father would suggest anyway. Don't get me wrong, it's not like he's an ogre or anything...I still love my parents very much, but I just wish they could be a little more sympathetic at times. Well, that's my guts spilled. See y'all later.

You know what I do in some situations. I know, this sounds really...stupid and just makes me sound like a complete idiot but punching stuff really helps. I mean, don't go around punching every Tom, Dick and Harry in the mouth. Just find some nice...punchable object and let loose. Probably not for everyone (or very many for that matter, dunno) but it definetly helps me a lot.

<font color=red>Well, heres a little on my background to explain why I think I can help people rather well compared to those people who get paid to say "uh huh, yeah" :
(warning the following may be a bit graphic or make some uncomfortable)
From teh age 9 to years before I can really remember too well (maybe age 5 or 6-9) i was sexually abused. He did everything but have actual sex with me because I was a child and he couldnt fit. But just about anything else sadly he did or made me do http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpb...icon_frown.gif He would tell me I would be taken away from my mom if I ever told anyone (my mom was my world you must understand) so I stayed quiet and did what I had to do stay with my mom. But one day when I was 9, i just had a breakdown, and spilled everything to her. She took me home, we got our stuff, when to my grandmoms and he was in jail within 2 weeks. I went to therapy/councelling for 2 yrs about and thankfully had a good person there to help me...thats how im able to talk about something like this so freely. So as im sure you can understand trusting guys completely was a very hard, and still is, a hard issue I deal with. Well, when I was 17, i met a guy whom i fell for, and opened myself up to him mind, body and soul. I trusted him completely to keep me safe from pain. Boy was I mistaken. He cheated on me 4 times, got into drugs halfway into our relationship, and left me for drugs after I couldnt take things as they were anymore. he took everything I gave him and completely crushed it. That hurt. But now Im on my feet again because dammit Im a fighter http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpb.../icon_wink.gif
That is just the big things that have happened to me, there are other small things that i didnt feel i needed to post right now. But because I was helped, i want to help others because I know how wonderful it is to overcome these things.
My point is tho that I can talk to anyone about anything. I am a very open person and I will try tohelp anyone who wants help. And I agree with your Breeze, your parents should be more understanding or sympathetic. I will always be here for anyone who needs someone to talk to. ANd yes Adam punching things is a good way to relieve stress, i use a punching bag quite a bit myself http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpb.../icon_wink.gif but just dont cause harm to yourself or otehrs of course. Anywho, now you guys know im not just some person who wants to hear problems, im someone who seriously wants to help if I can..<center>

Man, that's pretty rough Sciler. I'm glad that you eventually learnt to deal with that stuff. I wouldn't have the will power to, I know that.

<font face=times new roman color=red>Heh, what can you do? whats done is done, tehres no point in dwelling on it, its simply a matter of accepting and moving. The glass is always half full, i can find something positive out of just about anything sadly. but it works for me so i dun mind<center>
