    About Me

    I long to love life and appreciate it for all its beauty. Instead, I often find myself lost in deep darkness, too far in to see the light. I am a sophomore in college, just trying (like everybody else) to figure out who I am and where I am going.

    Interests

    I truly enjoy traveling. The next best thing is reading: what else can take one so deep into other worlds and other lives and move the soul so much? What else can make one experience everything and more, without ever leaving home or spending too much money? I also love music. It can be so diverse and deep, and can portray the sounds of the very soul. Apparently, I also love poetry. :-)

    • Close Depression - Teen

      I have been lost for a while now, but I'm starting to find my way back. Depression can be a dark and terrible beast that you may never understand, but it can be tamed. If you believe that, you can fight. That's where I am right now...fighting.

      Treatments

      Music Not Working
      Music used to make me feel better, but sometimes it just makes me worse.
      Positive Thinking Considering
      If I am truly thinking positive, happy thoughts, then it sometimes makes me feel better.
      Writing Considering
      The problem is I can only write when I'm in a certain mood, and that doesn't strike very often.
    • Close College Stress

      I'm in my second semester of college, and even though I am doing well, it is very stressful. Looking to the future and what I'm going to do after college is worse.

      Treatments

      Sleep Not Working
      When I feel down or depressed, I sleep. Because I've allowed myself to do this, I sleep way too much and feel worse physically and mentally for it.
    • Open Depression

      I've never been to a doctor for this because I don't know how to ask for help. I put on a very good act around people, so no one reaches out to me either. It's been a few years and I don't know how much more I can take. I will keep fighting.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Considering
      Writing Not Working
      It used to be that letting my emotions out through words on a page helped. Now it does nothing because I feel so dead inside sometime, I can't express it in words.
    • Open Abstinence & Celibacy

      I want to stay a virgin until I'm married, but there is so much pressure. It is very difficult.

    • Open Self-Injury

      I began cutting because it brought relief. It gave physical expression to the emotional pain I was feeling, and somehow seeing it lessened the pain, even if only for a while. Now, I am trying to stop and be happier. I'm looking at the positives in life. There have been temptations and very low points, but I am getting better. Maybe it will last.

      Treatments

      Talking Working / Worked
      After being a private person my entire life, I finally talked to someone about it. To my surprise, he understood and has been giving me support and encouragement. You may think your friends won't understand. Don't underestimate them.
