A useless thread from a useless girl...

[Carth]

Sigh...

I'm sorry for boring you with my own stupid emotions...but lately they've been kicking me in the strangest places. I'm feeling sad all the time, and I don't know why. I burst into tears and snap at people at the strangest times, and it's starting to alienate people from me. I find myself putting myself down for no apparent reason, and I know I shouldn't be...but I feel like if I don't, then people will think I'm a show-off or something. Even on here, I don't feel like being happy or random. And that's, like, my trademark.

I want to be happy. I want to be sociable. I want to be comfortable with myself. But something in me is alienating me from that prospect...and I don't like it. It's like...this headache that won't go away, pushing on my head and preventing me from progressing. I'm tired of living with it.

I know all of you hate emos. I know you'd love nothing less than to toss me out a window and hope I hit my eye on the Space Needle. But, I want solid advice to make the sadness go away...please...

P.S. If I don't make sense, just tell me. I often make no sense when I rant.

*hugs you* Hun, you're not being emo. It's very possiable that you're clinicly depressed. The feelings you describe are very simular to those with depression.... You should talk to your parents or a close friend or a doctor. It could get nasty....but...we're here for you too.

I don't understand why people associate talking about feelings with emo, but alright...

Has anything or anyone new come into your life, or is someone putting you down? Are you nervous about something other than feeling like a show-off? From the sounds of it, you sound very likable, and there'd be no need to put yourself down. Just give yourself a little while to think about it, it'll come to you.

If you need someone to talk to, or to just let everything out, I'm here.

I don't seem like random person, but I am. The same things happen to me, I've had this problem for a few years, and my meds don't help either (adderall for ADD) because they strengthen the absolute value of my emotions.
sad -> sadder
happy -> happier



Did this make you laugh? Maybe I should post some Son-Neko art..

[Carth]

Yes, it does. It doesn't make my headache goes away, but it makes me happy. (And I've been a Son-Neko fan for longer than most- she has a flippin' great sense of humor.)

Well, anyway...thank you so much, all of you. My mom actually came over a few minutes ago, asked me why I seemed upset...I told her what I could. She was willing to help, and we're trying to contact a doctor or something. Hopefully things will turn out alright... =)

Again, thank you so much. *gives out cookies to all that look at this thread*

I'm glad that your mother is involved, and that she cares. One thing I would suggest though, before taking medication, is to find out what the problem is before you take prescriptions from the doctor. I don't want to sound offensive by saying that, but be careful. Medication and pharmaceutical drugs are nice and everything on the outside looking in, but I feel they steal a part of your soul.

Just be careful, and I hope everything goes well.

Homemade cookies, yey! But seriously my meds cause most of my depression.

[Carth]

I've found that too. But if anything, I want some help, meds or not...perferrably not.

Most of the help we can give you relies mainly on yourself. As STI had reminded me, we're a family, but as close-knit as everyone is (well, except me, I don't know if I've been around long enough ), most of the help comes from yourself and your parents.

I think your mother wouldn't want to see you on drugs either, so try to work something out with her. If she does something that gives you a headache, work it out with her. If the problem is about school, or friends, or if you just feel down and out of your luck, talk to her. Parents usually have the best way to help and, noted from personal experience, have the best way to enforce their will and love onto you.

Again, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here. Talking is a tremendous help, as you can probably figure out what's bugging you if you just let everything out, but talking to someone you know is probably much more comfortable.

Carth, you have good friends here, and your parents are awesome if they are willing to help. As far as for talking to someone before taking meds, definitely an awesome idea. Never be afraid to talk to us, or them about how you feel, because we and they care about you. As far as for me, my pm box is always open if you need someone to chat with, anytime. You are never alone.

[Bootch offline]

Bah... why do people hate Emos... its so narrowminded... I find them a queer novelty...

I think what you're going through is hormonal... and it happens to everyone. I still get in huge fights with my parents for small things...

So my advice is to take a deep breath and focus on something calm and relaxing and try your best to move over little irritating problems.

It's called chronic depression, MØØSE. I know how you feel because I suffer from the exact same symptoms as you. Unfortuantely, it's part of life. Have you ever tried getting professional help?
