I think I need more patience. posted (1 year, 8 months) ago
My best friend whom I care about deeply is very sick (and has been for a while). Unfortunately due t…
I’d say stand up for your true friends, the ones who care about you. I know there are times in most people’s lives where they wish someone had stood up for them, I’m no different. Try to explain that your new friends are important to you, and it is disrespectful to your new friends, and to you when they criticize them. Who are they to judge anyway? True friends are more important than most other things in this life. If you value them, make sure they know it.

Hey, you’re probably in bed by now, but I thought I’d let you know that I feel that way sometimes too. It can last anywhere from half a day to 3 or so, and it is awful. Some people are born with obstacles, and this is one of them. The best thing you can do depending on how often this feeling affects you is different. If it is very often, like several days a week, I would suggest seeking help from a counselor. If its just once or twice a month you could try and do what I do, which is try to carefully explain to those you care about that there are times where you feel apathetic, detached, lethargic… and that you don’t mean your loved ones any harm by your behavior. If you can’t have a patient and reasonable discussion while you feel this way, try to limit your contact with loved ones until you feel better, and then explain. Unfortunately if you do it my way you’ll be spending a bit of time reflecting on how lousy you feel, but at least you don’t take your feelings out on those who don’t deserve it. good luck.

Find an activity or exercise you like, but don’t overdo it. Dieting has little effect on most people’s weight. This doesn’t mean you can eat doughnuts everyday of course, but in general depriving yourself of everything good doesn’t help. Exercise makes a big difference. Also, there are very few people who are truly happy with their appearance, try your best to find what you like about yourself the most, and focus on it. Good friends will not put you down, and won’t care what you look like because its who you are that matters and makes a difference.

I would take a shot in the dark and say you should try to find a common denominator in the things that make you cry. I sometimes have the same thing happen when I talk to a friend/colleague, watch a commercial, etc. I never used to cry when I was young but around late HS early college I started to feel urges to cry. I usually am able to prevent the actual act, but that feeling you get right before is usually inevitable for me. I think its because I am afraid of being close to people, and yet I crave that close comfort people can provide. If I wasn’t a stubborn Psych student I’d probably talk to a counselor or something. Anyway, if you can find something that links the behavior, it might help you start to recover from it. Otherwise I would seek medical attention as it may be some form of disorder. It is possible.

I was also going to suggest getting a rally of interested students, teachers, parents, community members, etc. together to show that this is really a big issue. If I lived there I’d come, Music was what made my HS days worthwhile :)
