Reply from Julie, Age 17 - 07/11/06 - IP#: 4.242.174.xxx Just another thought...Suicidal thoughts are not good. They are terrible, I know they are, I've been there. Maybe you are suffering from clinical depression? I think you should talk to your parents and doctor, and seriously consider taking medicine for it. I have been for about five years. No, it doesnt make everything better, and take all the bad things away, but it does make it soooo much easier to deal with. I'm going to try to find a sight with a self-evalution test online. I'll post it if i find a good. If im totally off, and this is not you, I really apolagize, but suicidal thoughts are not good, and lead to really bad things. For all i know, you could already be on meds, and in that case, again I apologize. I really do just want to help you.
Reply from Julie, Age 17 - 07/10/06 - IP#: 4.242.171.xxx You said you are addicted to pizza, soda, chocolate, and icecream. Pick just one of those things and try really hard to stop eating it. That's it. Dont worry about anything else. Keep working on that one thing until it no longer bothers you, and it is easy to go without. It may take days, it may take weeks. But, once you have that down, pick one more thing, and do the same thing. keep doing that until you no longer eat any of them. MAYBE, if you dont think it's too overwhelming, you could add some exercise. If you don't think you can handle that, dont start yet. Once you are at the point of not eating any of that, start exercising. Just take small steps. Eventually, you will be living a healthy lifestyle. It may take longer, but you will lose weight, and it will stay off. GOOD LUCK, hun. And know, we are always here for you. If you need any support, let us know.
