  [quote Jena][quote Queen-of-Hearts]Round up a few of your friends who you know you can fall back on and go somewhere(movie, beach whatever) then ask them to drag you out of your house at least twice a week to go have fun with them. This means you’ll still have time to talk to your boyfriend but you’ll also have people to make sure you have fun and don’t spend the whole time pitying yourself. :)[/quote]
  
  That’s a good idea! Unfortunately though, he was really my only friend. That sounds pathetic I know, but it’s true. I’m not really close enough to anybody to just call them up and ask them to hang out =\ That doesn’t mean I don’t want friends or anything, it’s just been really hard for me lately to find some good friends.[/quote]
  
  I followed your advice anyway. I called up some old friends of mind and they invited me to go out with them. Even though I didn’t know them very well it was still a lot of fun. Thank you! :)

• Warning about Birth Control.
  

  [quote sn0wcuti]I had the exact same reaction on Yaz! I was only on it for a little over a month and immediately I felt depressed - after only one week of taking it! It effected my relationship as well and my boyfriend and I broke up because I decided to get off it and be happy than on it and depressed! I just recently got off of it (about 2 weeks ago) and more bad news… major weight gain! I was 108 before the pill and immediately when I stopped taking it I gained ten pounds. Does anyone know when the side effects will cease and when my system return to it’s natural state? Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s comforting to know one’s not going this alone :)[/quote]
  
  Just give it time, you will start to feel normal again! I think a couple of weeks or a month.

• I’m coping with a devestating time in life.
  

  I’m sorry you have to deal with such difficulties in your life. I’m no good helping with money or anything, but I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and pray for the best. If you need help with anything else though and you need to talk, don’t hesitate to ask. 3
