Health - 1 January 2007

I made up my mind to get some anti-depressants today. But I have some questions. Currently I am 16 years old and do you need to be 18 or 21 to purchase antidepressants? Do you also need permission from a doctor? I don't want to tell my parents (especially my dad) that I have been suffering with depression since I was 14. My dad would look at me differently when I confess (I know for sure). He thinks depressed people just want attention. I actually don't. I just want to enjoy life and stop worrying and being depressed. Thats why I want to buy anti-depresasants without telling my parents. I really need to get some medication for this aniexty/depression problem. I can't enjoy life constantly worrying about this girl, school, work, debts, etc. I know what my problems are and I don't need therapy

For example if I breathe onto my hand the air feels hot whereas if I blow onto my hand it feels cool. I think it might be similar to getting a cold draught when a door is closed but not feeling it when it is open.

I can't wear tube tops, halter tops, anything with an open blouse, nothing sexy. I feel miserable when I look at beautiful bra and pantie sets and nice corsets. I feel depressed when i think about them. HELP! I can't afford a breast reduction. So please don't say that. I hate myself because of this...

I don't want to know about the fighting part, just the training and diet parts....

Thanks!

Have noticed quite a few people asking how you can clean sex toys without damaging them. Well, soap is no good it dries them out and can cause irritation when used, water by itself does not clean them properly. I have found a site that sells proper, safe and effective sex toy cleaner. Take a look at http://www.sextoyshopping.co.uk/product/Sextoy_Cleaner_113ml/lt107

My brother says smoking cigars once in a while is fine and I want some websites that offer cold hard facts about the effects of "once in a while cigar smoking". Websites would be very nice, pictures very helpful because I'm putting together an essay to help scare him (and prove my point).

I am having a terrible time coping about a guy I was with for a year and half. When we were together he told me he wanted to commit suicide. It was an ongoing issue so I recommended he talk to a professional but he wanted to talk to only me. I tried my hardest to help him. Come to find out he kept a secret that he had a child he never met w/ a one night stand before we met. I helped him come to terms with it and when he finally met the child he ended our relaionship to pursue one with the mother of his child. I found all this out when I was in the hospital this past summer. I was pretty ill and the response I got was never to call him again. And there after he manipulated me into thinking I aided him into going back to the mother because I told him he should be a part of his child's life. They are not together anymore. But I am having an awful time dealing with how he treated me after I helped him with his serious threats of suicide. Ironically, i'm seeking prof. help b/of this:(
