I've been trying for jears now not to give up the fight against negative thoughts about myself and my life. But it keeps getting harder and harder, i feel so lonely, don't know what i want with my life, the very few friends i have left are in a relationship and don't seem to notice i'm alive. My parents think support is pathetic, all i feel is rejection and useless. I try to take pleasure out of little things, like the sun is shining and give love and support to others, finding reasons to make some sense of this selfish world and my place in it. If somebody would still like to talk after this self-pity story, maybe i'm not the one with the problems :) kidding! Love, Ramona Ramonavschendel@hotmail.com

Ramoon,
I have been dealing with depression for quiet sometime now. I'm going to give you a project to do, that is if you don't mind. First of all let me say that it would be very wise for you to get some counceling, and there isn't anything wrong with getting help. Trust me, I know, I have. I want you to take a peace of paper, and write Positive, on one side, and Negative on the other, I will show you an example.
Negitive Positive ______________________________________________ I feel like But,my Mother noone cares father, and about me. brother do.
I am a loser But, I'm not to my children, or parents.
I feel like a failure. But I'm not a failure, I make good grades in School, and I'm Passing.
My future sucks. But how could it Suck, I'm going To college to better myself. _____________________________________________ These are some things in which you can write down, when your feeling negative about yourself. Then maybe an hour later go and read them. It has helped me alot. You don't have to use the one's I have, you can make your own up. I wish you luck sweetie
