Hey. I'm new. Well, new to the boards anyway.

I guess I can trust you guys.

i guess I'll just tell the deets about my 'problem(s)'.

I had severe depression in 6th grade, seriously. And then I was even more depressed after I tried to be happy and Mandy made the comment of 'You're happy? That's so weird.' ... She moved to Michigan, thank gosh. Anyway, I had it again in 7th grade, this time more severe, with suicidal poems and stuff. This year, it's not so bad. I found God and stuff and I'm not going to kill myself. But I still get depressed alot and I'm overly sensitive to little nit-picky remarks. Even joking ones. I'm open about my 'fatness' and 'ugliness' but it still gets to me. I think I also have an anger problem because whenever someone asks stupid questions to me or just insults me, I get really pissed and yell at them. They tell me to calm down but how can I if I'm so mad? ... Help. Seriously.

Anyway, like I said, I'm new.

Oh, I'm also missing my dad. That's one of the main reasons I'm depressed. I also think I'm bi-polar but I'm not so sure.

You need a cause. Perhaps if you saw how much worse off than you some other people are you wouldn't feel so bad about yourself. Also you should get out and try some new hobbies and meet some new people, maybe even volunteer or get involved in helping your community.

Have you been to a doctor and discussed your problems? The information should remain confidential and they should be able to offer better advice than I can.

Personally, I see the anger as natural behaviour, mainly because I feel it alot. Anger with others for trying to annoy me, and anger at myself, for actually letting it get to me.
