I have heard somewhere that other people's negativity can transfer to you and make you feel awful. Sometimes, my hubby and coworkers are negative. What can I do in an instant to "block" the negativity without insulting people? I always try to keep a positive frame of mind and even say something opposite in my head.... Should I try to inspire others with my point of view or just let them vent?

How do I get over teen depresion? I use to cut my self but now that my mom know she checks my whole body so i cant do that. I already see a counciler and its not working. I also found that i am being a bit of a *****. For example, my friend was being annoying so i bashed her three days before her grandfathers funeral. This is not like me at all, and she knows this so she is not mad at me (or appears not to be). Its almost like something inside is taking over me. I also have been thinking alot about taking drugs and alcohole. But i am only 13 and dont want to ruin my life. What can i do to get rid of the depresion and get controlle of my self again?

I was feeling bummed out one day at school and my friend was talking about a previous class and how they were talking about suicide. Then I said I would never do that and some boy told me that he wished i would die. i took it very offensive and got very angry about it because I already have told my friends that I don't think I should be on this earth and I'm a waste of skin and bones but decided the day before I should try harder to live a better life. But after he said that I got kind of hurt and started to think back to my ways. Whenever he would ask me a question i would say to him "I didn't think you could get an answer from a dead person"
and he would go away. It's been a few months and I haven't talked to him. Should I just let the grudge go on or say something to him?

I need to know what its like to be on an anti depressent. I've had too much anxiety and nothing is helping, I've been seeing a theripest and reading self-help books, but I fear the only way is through medication. Is the medication the only reason your happy? I just need to know more about it and the results of taking it.

Years ago, I used to go to 12-step (SAA) meetings for addiction to Playboy-type videos. I tried a few different groups, and all of them included a lot of garbage that was worse than useless to me. Things like mislead tough love, obvious recovery addiction on the part of some of the leaders of the groups, incorrect attributions and a demand that I find a higher power all drove me away from the program. My sex addiction is a non-issue now, but I'm feeling dependent on alcohol. I may need to get help with my drinking, but I'm not open to many of the views and approaches of 12-step programs and what I've seen with therapists (Dr. Drew) that specialize in addiction. Are there alternative approaches, or do I need to shop carefully?

My University gave me a second chance instead of dropping me they put me on academic probation. I went last semester and made no friends and failed 3 classes its time to make some serious changes. I want to make at least one good friend, participate more in class (although being a little shy inhibits me), and get straight A's this semester. Does anyone have any plans that can help me achieve these goals because apparently my way is not working?

In the past two weeks, I haven't slept for more than 7 straight hours. I usually sleep though my lunch break (about an hour), and get between 2-4 hours in the afternoon. I know I'm tired, but I can't sleep. Oh, and what could cause insomia? Thanks for the help.
