  He’s very much a gamer and scifi nut. And he’s pretty open about his emotions

• Why I wished I never tried to commit suicide…
  

  I was 16 when I tried
  
  why you felt so down: I had lied to my mother
  
  how long you were depressed: before the attempt? 9 months
  
  who/what stopped you: I couldn’t break the skin
  
  where you spent your time afterwards: in my bedroom
  
  what worked to lift your depression (doctor, med, religion, etc.): family, therapy, meds
  
  what you realized afterward (hope): After she found out, my mother wouldn’t leave my side. SHe was angry and afraid and wouldn’t even let me use the bathroom by myself. I never wanted to be that helpless again.

• ugggh…..im so confused.
  

  I’m the same way. My depression is like the monster under my bed; as soon as I try to fall asleep it’s there. Plus, it’s hard work keep all those emotions in during the day.
  
  But keeping problems inside is really unhealthy. If you want to change certain things about yourself, try to find someone to talk to so that you work through those feelings rather than bottle them up.

• Hi everyone.
  

  I agree with babacup–if you’re GPA is good enough to stay in school, then it’s good enough for you to get a job. How much longer do you have before you graduate? There may still be time for you to improve, but even if there isn’t, you’re not doomed to a menial job.
  
  Do you think you could talk to an academic or career adviser? They might be able to give you more insights.

• My parents fostered children when I was little.
  

  Most people have that kind of response when there’s any change in the family. I freaked out when my mom was pregnant with my sister, even though I got along with my younger brother just fine.
  
  If you’re dad’s idea was out of the blue, then it’s probably a little shocking. Talk to your parents so that they know you’re confused about this. Maybe your dad will explain things better and you’ll get a better idea of how you feel about the situation.
