    You owe it to yourself, to your loved ones, to seek out every available form of help. Talk to your parents, go to your doctor. Be proactive in finding the solution. There is one, I promise you. Death is not a solution, it is the ultimate slap in the face, not only to you but to the people that love you.

    You owe it to yourself to get help. Promise me that you will. Okay?

    We're all here to lend an ear, to help you through this, but in the end it's up to you and you alone. You have the power to change this.

    I can think of many things in your future to look forward to. I have two of them right now, they're outside playing. I have one of them that I've been with for 20 years, married for 15. There's another one too, just look in the mirror and see what you have to look forward to. You! You may not see it now but I do, we all do. You are on this earth for a reason, whether you believe in God or not, you are here for a purpose. That purpose is not to take your own life. That life is a gift. Use it wisely.

    Are you male or female? Is there something that's happened lately that's brought you down?
    I'm female. And I don't really know why all of a sudden I'm feeling like this again. It comes and goes. I guess I'm just realizing that everyone has so much going for them and I'll probably always be stuck where I am. I don't have any interest in pursuing my old dreams of going to college or anything.

    Stat doing something about what you don't like. You might be able to start with "Letters to the editor".

    We're all friends here, sort of. We listen for free. You should not be afraid of us. Open up. We may be able to help.

    What's something that bothers you a little bit and something that bothers you a lot?

    YOu know what I used to loive writing. I lost interest in it too. When I would make films, I barely would use scripts. I would tell them what I wanted them to say. Good thing they were only shorts!

    Haha I've never been good at writing scripts. I had to write one once for a project and failed miserably.

    You know sometimes that's true. A lesson to maybe be a little kinder to people.

    Do you feel overwhelmed with making decisions for your future? It's true you know, when you start liking stuff about you, it's easier for other people to like things about you! I know that sounds super corney, but it's true. Like people have said, we're here to listen.

    I'm actually really nice to people. I don't think anyone would ever guess that I feel this way. I'm not anti-social or anything.

    I do feel sort of overwhelmed. It's hard for me to like things about me, though.

    If you knew how bad some people had life, you'd realize that being 'stuck' isn't always a bad thing. At least, if you're stuck, you're not going downhill.

    Do you give them the chance?

    I have a feeling you're very reserved around most people. Don't really let your emotions show. Don't really talk about yourself. Rarely share the bad things, and only talk about the things that don't really matter in the end. You probably spend more time at home, in your room, than out with friends.

    If I'm right, then you're me at that age.


    Now, once you feel even a little better, you need to flush those pills. Don't keep them around in case you 'need' them. Flush them so you won't be tempted.

    As you watch them go down the drain, tell yourself that YOU are taking charge or your life from now on. That you're not going to let ANYONE make you feel like less than you are. That you're going to find one reason to live everyday. That you will, wherever possible, cut the people that make you feel bad about yourself, out of your life. That you will learn to love yourself. That you will tell someone who can help how you feel and ask for help.

    Are you sure?

    Raven, I can guarantee you that I will care no matter what. I've been through a lot in my life, because of that I've made it a mission of mine to help others. That's why I'm on this site.

    I have a few requests, things that I'm hoping you'll agree to.

    1. Go to your doctor, get checked, tell him/her what's going on.
    2. Talk to your parents about this.
    3. Continue to post to us about what you're doing and how you're doing.
    4. Tomorrow I want you to go for a walk. Just 15 minutes. If you have a dog take him/her with you. Also bring a pad of paper and a pen. While you're walking write down 15 things that you see that brings you happiness. It can be anything, a blade of green grass (for me that would be great, all the grass is brown right now, some of it is still covered in snow), a bird, a cat, a person that smiles at you, a worm, anything. One per minute.

    Will you do that for me?

    Tomorrow, after your walk, post your list.

    I'll tell you 5 things on my list that happened in the last 15 minutes.

    1. My daughter just came inside, she was scared because of something her brother did. She needed a hug. Her hugs are the best, always make me smile.
    2. AMHD. The people on this site never cease to amaze me. Stick around and find out, they are they best people I've never met.
    3. I had some caramel corn. I love it. :)
    4. My puppy got out of the yard and came back when I called him.
    5. I met you and I have hope for you.

    You're pretty much exactly right about what you said about me. Thanks for all the advice.
