Im 18 & have 2 months left in high school but starting to think i never really lived it enough. I was well liked & things looked good all the way thru 8th grade, but then once a fresh everyone kinda was thrown into the mix, & i distanced myself from a lot of people (mainly girls) who went for upperclass guys particularly a girl i liked who didnt like me & i held grudges on her & some of her friends.) I still played soccer, basketball, & baseball & had many friends/happy. Soph yr i lost a lot more self conf cause got sick of basketball after being cut, then the LAST ONE cut from baseball. I became more stubborn, didnt talk in class, & decided to forget sports & many people & focused on things like nature & finding meaning. That made me get cut from soccer jr yr, but not unhappy cause i it was hard to make, & ended up having a good yr, w/ more confidence/social/talkng & things looked up again. However, i practiced all summer & couldnt play soccer this yr cause of inj & (more below)

Why is it that we're more upset over someone taking their own life, than the deaths of millions due to war, natural disasters, etc?
Why is crime and homicide almost glorified in our culture, with the vast amounts of mystery and horror in entertainment?

And yet we see suicide as somehow outside of this, more upsetting than this?

I don't understand. Give me your opinions, please.

I am considering therapy. But my parents think that any head doctor of any kind is poposterious. They feel like I can tell them stuff and that I don't need therapy. I've being feeling sad for no reason lately and I feel withdrawn. I can't afford therapy myself and my parents i know won't pay for it and I don't like my guidance counsular. Any advice? DO I even need therapy?

I read that people who suffer from anxiety and depression showed that their liver and body could benefit from being detoxified. One person was able to get off of her medication and no longer suffers with anxiety. Medications have to many side effects. Help!!!
Thank you.

Or instead of "my job is a godsend", I would say "my god is a jobsend." I am 28 and have noticed this problem in the last year or so and it has increased in frequency. I have never been diagnosed with dyslexia. What could be the problem?

I've been told I should use hypnosis to get over a phobia, I don't know that I believe in it though. I'd like to hear stories from anyone who has really been hypnotized. Also want to hear from people who tried it but it didn't work.

have times were you feel your "ok" (not fantastic)..like you don't feel utterly depressed? I have been totally depressed before it started by coming in waves and then the waves got smaller and i felt more and more down... i am much better than i used to be but i do get times were I feel ok as well as a lot of times of feeling down....does this mean i dont have depression at the moment or is it normal with depression to have small times of ok-ness?

p.s I have experienced full on depression and been suicidal, I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows if having ok periods is part of depression too?

I feel that many people who are diagnosed with crohn disease are actually having simple partial seizures. Anyone who is educated in epilepsy need only reply. They are the ones who would understand what i am saying. What other input can you add to reinforce my theory. I think my theory is very valid and could change the way we look at these both diseases. I am sure many docs would disagree but what do you think about this theory. Sometimes EEG's do not indicate any seizure and that is why it is so hard to diagnose. Could the reaction of medications be the future of diagnosing medical problems rather than all these crazy tests. What do you think about this theory and what input could you submit to prove otherwise or reinforce this.

I take Lexapro, which is great for my constant, day to day anxiety, but it hasn't prevented me from having an attack when [expletive] hits the fan. I don't want to go in asking the doctor for Xanax and have him accuse me of drug-seeking behavior. Is there something I can ask for that WORKS but isn't something people sell normally? Or is there another way to ask so that I can come across as genuine?

thanks!
