    About Me

    I'm Koo, and in short, I have depression. I think it's genetic...and also about that, I was also a self injurer, but my friends care enough about me to help me stop...anyway, from time to time I can be pretty witchy, but it's just...it's just sort of my mask. Y'know? It's kind of hard for me to control it. But that aside, I'm nice. I don't bite. ^_^

    Interests

    foooood XD, singing, writing. reading, ...*trails on*...manga, anime, my friends, and and....uhm. yeah. ooh, do you like pocky? I like pocky..

    • Close Self-Injury

      I started cutting back in 7th grade. I only did it a couple of times, then stopped. This year I started again. And though I try hard not to, I can't control my actions sometimes.

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Some people think I'm complaining, and others start crying.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Ver yehlpful except when I write poetry about myself like for a current assignment, I get really deep with the selfinjury part.
    • Close Depression - Teen

      I have depression, and it's been on and off for a couple of years, and there was a period of time in about 3rd grade where I was terribly sad all the time, but I don't know if it was the depression or just a "phase" like everybody says it was. If it was just a phase, then it first started really showing up in 6th grade. Most people say it's genetic because it runs in my family , but sometimes I don't know.

      Treatments

      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      I think it might be making me worse some times, but it seems to work usually.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Same with the self injury. "Stop complaining"
      Writing Working / Worked
      writing really helps me get my emotions out, and it definetely works. Sometimes my writing has worried a few people though, but they always seem to like it.
    • Open Insomnia

      I can't fall asleep earlier than 12 am or 1 am. I roll around alot and I can't keep my eyes closed long, and my mind races and won't rest.

      Treatments

      Trazodone Somewhat Helpful
      It is working rather well, but sometimes I have to take a full pill instead of a half, just so it works better.
    • Open Environmental Allergies
      Type of allergy: Other

      I am allergic to nickel, and have known since last year. I fist found out about it when I had a staff infection. If I wear nickel earrings , my ears start to itch and swell a bit, and if I wear a belt with a nickel buckle my stomach will break out in a bit of a rash. It's INCREDIBLY itchy. And very annoying. It gets to the point where I scratch and bleed. It's like psoriasis on my lower stomach.

      Treatments

      Hydrocortisone Somewhat Helpful
      I put this on my stomach to stop the itching, which of course makes it so much worse.I'm not prescribed to it, but it definitely helps, and was recommended by my doctor.
    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      My younger brother is a lot stronger and bigger than me and has hit me very much in the past, leaving me with bruises, and leaving me unsafe in my own home. I have had to leave my house for periods of time because my brother was so abusive. He ahs helped make my life a living you know what. He has beat me a little less this year, because I avoid him more, but he still hits me . It's not just one of those "little brother being annyoing" situations. It's serious. He has had to be put inSweetser.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      When I think about him hitting me, I start to cry and sometimes it helps.
