• (3 votes) I tried to tell my best friend that I’ve been fighting depression for the past few years, but she doesn’t get it.
  

  live simply. make lists of positive goals, no matter how high they may be. i have one genuine hobby that lets me escape from everything… but sometimes when i get in such a mood i don’t even feel it would help. helping people or volunteering is the most amazing feeling. it always always cheers me up. so even if you don’t think it would help, try it. go out and sign up for a soup kitchen or humane society. and lastly, don’t be afraid to be independent and make new friends. it’s so easy to gain happiness and a strong feeling of success after you feel you’ve gained independence.
  don’t depend on your friend to understand if he/she cannot. all you can do is explain and talk to them. worry about taking care of yourself, though it’s really hard when you feel you’re not being well understood

  i think you really needed somebody. you met someone you connect with, which is great. i don’t personally think its weird to connect with somebody of the same sex as a friend. just keep getting to know him or whatever. don’t think about it too much or you’ll end up making it weird, making it something its not.

  when you say goodnight. you’re saying goodnight to your chance of having that amazing feeling of love come back to you. you can win your girl back, or find another- though this thought may be hard. it’s funny you say that for us optimistic people, you wish we could understand you want to live like us. i understand that you say you “cannot” but is that true? didn’t you live optimistically when you were in love? just because you are heartbroken doesn’t mean the end. “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end”. tomorrow, could be the best day of your life. and whether you believe me or not, your girl will be devastated when she hears you’ve taken your own life. how could you think of doing that to her? give life another chance, give it a few more days. get to a place in your life where you’ll look back in a few years and know that you almost gave up. you’ll look back and laugh and thank yourself for giving life another shot so you didn’t miss out on the amazing moments the next few years will bring you, once you get past the bad, the heartache… all of which is temporary.
  
  all in all, you got this bud. give it another chance. look up at the stars and tell yourself you can do it because you’re stronger 3

• Question about a girl!
  

  thats definitely weird. i know as a girl myself, i want a guy that i can be really friendly with- like whats shes doing, and be close with. i think you’ve handled this really well though- so good job. she probably just likes things as they are right now, where she can cuddle with you- but not feel a committment. from her point of view, if she’s kissing you- she’s more so with you and can’t go for other people, or whatever. but if she is as she is- she has you as a good friend she really cares about, and can be close with mentally and physically.

• I really hate myself
  

  whiter skin? girls die to get tan. i’m irish- i can barely tan if i try. be glad you have nice dark skin! seriously! i think you need a day to go out, get a new haircut or dye, then get yourself a totally new outfit. it will cheer you up. it won’t change your life though. looks really really aren’t everything- they aren’t important in this huge world. somebody will love you for you. just give it time.
  
  when you look in the mirror, do not stress on what you don’t like- look at what you do like. tell yourself, “my eyes are kind of pretty”.. and go from there.
