I've always been very open about my experience.. My husband was a school administrator and when he knew kids in school were having depression problems he would tell me and I would offer to talk to them.. Sometimes people just need to know that someone else has been there and done that and they just need to talk about it, especially young kids. YOu would be surprised how many teenagers suffer from depression. And I am smart enough to know that if I feel it coming on I get myself to a dr.and get on medication if I need to for a short time... A lot of people are in denial, especially about depression...

Been there, done that, no regrets, he's a good guy

story time...

when I was 15
I was having myself a good old time
with some friends and illegal substances.
eventually everyone went home
and I was left alone.
I went to bed
and kind of freaked out
in the dark by myself
so I got up to turn on a light
and I tripped over my phone
(old school, when phones had cords haha)
my phone had auto dial buttons
in case of emergency
I still remember hearing the 911 tones
I hung up the phone
but they called back
in my condition I could not convince the 911 operator
that I was ok
she insisted that someone was telling me to tell her everything was ok
I hung up
fell asleep
and woke up to a herd of paramedics and police officers at my door
they were convinced that I had tried to kill myself
hauled me off to the hospital
kept me there for three days
because at 15 I didn't have the nerve to say
"I was just catching a buzz, guys!"

What causes a child of 15 to end up in a psych ward for overdose....or in a rehab, for that matter. What did they endure in their childhood to cause such devastation and destruction at such a young age. Perhaps it was constant letdowns and lies.

Is it merely genetic? The environment has to play some part, no matter how small. Denial is a very primitive ego defense, and one that is very dangerous, if used to the exclusion of others. What kinds of substances are we talking about, anyway.

Would give us something in common.

It has nothing to do with honesty unless she blatantly asked.

I don't see how what happened 10 years ago or more really applies to a relationship that is well into the future. If we constantly live in the past, we will never move forward. SOo many stories have yet to come and soo many stories have happened since then. I made a really long story very brief just to ask you a question based on your reply. If I add another 5 years to the point where I am 30 I'm not sure how my childhood would really apply to someone that would probably be making a child with me other than the fact that we would be raising one.

well I need someone as wierd as me

haha nice new pic orange...

i think i have dated maybe two people in psych hosps...but not WHILE i was dating them.,...of course theres always the possibilty that im the reason that put them there.....oh well

of course hasidic enforcer and haloheld by horns might mug you for those photos lol

you mean like "just visiting"?

That is the cutest pic I have ever seen, OC!!!!!!


And I agree....I am wierd and my significant other better be as wierd as I am! But as for the psych ward.....I have already said earlier....are they cured?

I've been in a few. So, I guess. It really depends on what they have. I don't think I could ever date someone with DID, ODD, or the advanced stanges of Schizophrenia.
