I'm going through a really hard time at the moment, and i don't really talk to anyone about it because it's so hard but i was wondering if any1 had any ideas on cheering oneself up!
My dad left 2 yrs ago after his 5th affair to be with another woman, this messed my mum, and little bro and sis up so bad i really didn't have any time to think about how it had affected me, cos i had to be there for them.
My dad came back (after being ditched) about a year ago... just after my mum had met someone else and had just managed to come off her anti-depressants.
Things got worse for me from then onwards. I stopped eating - not because i wanted to, but because i was physically unable to as eating used to make me feel ill. I lost 2 stone in a month and started cutting my wrists.
I feel so down sometimes and can't seem to do anything about it, anyone been in a similar position and got through it?
Any help appreciated,
Love Seaxxx

All I can say is the corny old line that things will get better eventually.
Please try and stay safe and take care.
drugs may be the road to nowhere, but at least there the scenic route
SeaShihtzu, you already know what I think, lets see what others have to say...
To cheer myself up i usually have a stiff drink a good meal and watch a nice film <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
In the end it all got too much.... I was lucky in the fact that I found one person who I could talk to. Also, without even meaning to, I told other people some of it... it helped a lot, although I was still not in a great way.
One other thing which I found a great help, when I couldn't tell people everything (because some of it you *can't* tell) I would write it out in an email to someone, but then never send it. It helps because its a way of letting it all out, yet if ya feel you can't tell someone else, it still stays personal.
I was in a really bad state, and nearly didn't make it through, now I'm through it, and one of the happiest suckers around. There wasn't one specific thing that changed it... it jus seemed to happen slowly.
I know its hard to believe, cos I didn't believe it at the time, but ti does change with time... but ya need to be strong.
Hope this has helped, and good luck <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Everythings' pretty much up in the air at the moment which is probably why things got so bad for me all of a sudden. Some days im ok, but others i just don't want to eat, talk or do anything which is hard at school because if quiet everyone suddenly gets very suspicious.... and asks lots of questions which is the worst thing they could do bless em.
I guess i'm just hoping things get better magically.... quite soon!
