Yes I completely understand what you are saying, Courage. It does make your heart stronger. I had my heart broken by a different girl a while back, and after so much pain, I learned that some people just aren't worth the pain. But the girl I'm in love with now, she's worth it, even if it takes me years to show her my love for her, I won't give up.

It's been a few days since your post, I do hope you are feeling better. Perhaps it won't mean much at all from where you are now, but from my own experience it truly is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. I have had my heart broken...it has made my heart stronger, more forgiving, and giving than I thought possible and I fully believe I am a better person for it. It will take time, but try to find strength in this journey.

Update: Today at school I found out that the girl I am in love with is dating another guy. And when I overheard her say that to a friend when they were talking, I left the library we were in to go to the bathroom. And I spent an hour sitting alone in there panicking and crying.

Thank you, Josie and Courage, for taking the time to respond to me. I will certainly read through the sections that I am particularly struggling in. I am in love with this girl, who I also feel to be close friends with. She's one of the only friends I have. And she understands my feelings because she also has had depression. But when I told her my feelings for her, she did not feel the same way about me. And every day I seem to be falling further in love with her and the torture of being without her is eating me alive. I can't live without her. I also write poetry in my spare time, mostly about love and anguish.

Craig,

We can help you progress through this. Do read through the program and the vital information to get you started. Make sure you take the Depression test and take a copy to your appointment, this can help better assess the situation for you both and it can help you pinpoint areas of concern.

Keep posting and let us know how we can help.

I am a teenage boy, and I have had depression for quite a while, except the past few months have been very miserable for me. I feel neglected and abandoned from people, and I don't have many friends. I am extremely timid and I have a socialization problem. I have been rejected by every girl that I have been interested in, which has lowered my confidence very severely. I am starting therapy again, and my first appointment is next week. Can you help me at all?

Hello Ashley, I am a relatively new member to this site, and I am in need of someone to talk to about how I feel. I suffer in silence of depression, social phobia, and severe shyness. I feel like I have no people to talk to about my problems. Can you help me possibly?

Members,

Make journaling a part of your day!

Have you taken the time to start your journaling? Journaling can be as easy as a personal recount of your daily activities, your emotional thoughts or what made you smile today.

Make today the day you actively involve a journal into your routine. Take the time to choose the right journal and make it fun. Pick something that gives you positive energy and a happy feeling. It can be your favorite superhero or your favorite print. You are using it everyday and it should be a happy moment when you take it out

How you prepare your journal is up to you. Diary style, listing style, inspirational style, happy thought style, or reward style. Whatever you choose, know that it can help you pinpoint areas that you may want to re-asses and further work on, or just reflect on a year in review.

It is important to try and write down all your feelings and emotions.
Use this as a place to gain momentum and happiness.
Use it as a place to pour out all your bad feelings or good ones.
Use it for all your rewards.
Use it to look back and remember.
Use it to challenge yourself and set goals.

Use it for yourself and see the difference it can make.

Ashley, Health Educator
