Only the plant that grows both above and below the surface has the strength to survive. Growing pains are never fun but they are a neccessary part of life. They are the herald of change. And change is rarely accepted and understood by all. And even if you help people understand the change they still may not accept it. There will always be the good and bad sides to a decision. But trying to hold onto the past causes more pain than change ever could. Sometimes you have to cast it all aside and just follow your heart for better or worse. We can't always be happy just as we won't always be tormented. |

So I've been under a lot of emotional distress lately. What's happened? ... (this relates to my last post here, btw) I told this person something ... and I'm waiting for a reply. But in more ways than not.. I feel like I'm starting to lose them. It would mostly be due to my impatience, and while I've been able to shake it off at times, it keeps coming back (the anxiety, that is). I know for a fact that whatever the outcome is, it will be good, and I won't lose this person in the end. But why do I have to be so impatient and anxious? What exactly did I say to her? ... Erm, ... Something deeply important and something that comes from deep within me. I hate to say how impatient I am, but what can I do? I can't calm down, meds aren't helping ;), and I don't know.. it's hard to go out and do something without wanting to come back. I'm just in this whirlwind of an emotional rollercoaster.. because for one thing, I haven't done this before. :) So the suspense is binding.    |

| I hate to sound like a downer, but there's no cure for anxiety until what your waiting for happens. However you can lessen it. From a personal standpoint letting lose something from deep within you dredges up a large amount of emotion with it. You can't dig for clams without getting some of the muck. It's only natural to wonder how people will respond to your "clams" and it's that unknown that causes us to feel anxious. It's an low adrenaline rush for a long time. Only time will make it dissipate and only resolution can make it truly go away. Once you no longer have that unknown of response things become less intense. This also depends on just how deep your "clams" are buried. Deep clams are often the biggest and hardest to pull and they can bring up with them a significant amount of muck. Does that make them worth the sifting and grime associated with them? That's ultimately up to you to decide and to find out. Not all clams are equal and not everyone sees them the same, but that shouldn't stop you from marketing your clams; just don't be shell-fish about it (I had to I'm sorry). |

Puns pwn. Nothing cures depression like a well-placed pun. When one is de-pressed, they must press on.  Jomunga eats your avatars. |

Jomunga, I've heard that one before. I don't remember exactly, but I do think that is a good pun. Rather punny if I say so myself. Laughter is the best medicine. So laugh away, and all your ails will be less "ail-ful" (I know it's not a word). |

(O_O) How can someone like that become a teacher?? Maybe if all of the students complain, your teacher will be fired... What I do when I have too much homework and other things to do: Procrastinate. (:P) Well, you can also prioritize your tasks and just do the most important things. Time management is also helpful, although that sounds cliché... And, don't forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments: treating yourself to something you like can also reduce stress. It works for me. I'm just sad because I've finished watching the anime NANA... There are too many unanswered questions!!! (＞＜) So, I'm reading the manga, now... |

The depression thread eh? Hmm...depression... I guess i'll share My experience: Well. I don't really know how to say it..i guess... I've been through hell. Yes. Thats how I'll put it. Ive been through hell and back. My life struggling with depression hasn't been easy through the cutting, the starvation, the screaming until I cough up blood, the suicide, the hospital, all I can do sometimes is just break down and cry. And a lot of people gave up on me. "There's another lost cause" "She's just another attention seeking teen" they probably thought. However, one day I looked at myself in the mirror, "Who is this person? What have I become?" were the thoughts running through my head, so one day i decided to face my depression head-on. I was through with the darkness. I was tired of being alone. I wanted help and the only one with the power to help me was...me. So I fought like hell to get back what I had lost, whatever it was. I am now healthier and happier than I have ever been. Now i know whatever the challenge, if I put myself up to it, I can conquer anything.  |

You are extraordinarily strong-willed, and for that I applaud you. However, you deserve much more than a round of applause for your convictions. Alas all we can do is congratulate you on your amazing achievement. Indeed if all people were like you, then this place would close very quickly. Welcome to our little corner of gendou.com, hope you enjoy your stay. The only rent is a desire to help those that enter this thread, and maybe have them leave a little better off. |

i am so stressed out. i love darkness but i dont like the darkness as in evil. i am stressed out by some people who judge me in the chatroom all because i am 12. i used to think our motto was we dont judge here. we just chat because the older ones last time, they were so nice like naveriel, pjugt, lacus, kira, and rizel. but now, i dunno what happen to them. but the worst is friends. i can always feel my head bursting!!! its no point crying or throwing a tantrum or taking revenge. you just end up keeping quiet about this and you become miserable later because your memory will grow stronger about what you hate and you will start loosing all the happy memories. i know i am not the only one like this but believe me. if you start writting in a diary, you will become a sensitive person. if you dont, you will end up being alone. as for me, i have no problem being alone but... it stll hurts no matter what.  |

Rini- so what if your 12? More importantly, what can they do about it? Just because your 12, you can’t let people slide with it and bug you with it. You got to stand up to it. Some people write about what they feel because in a way, its makes them an honest person. (But then again this is what I think...) By writing down what you think and how you feel about it, your sort of accepting the fact that this is who you are...As for right now, Rini, if your willing to talk about it, then your really not alone...so tell me more about it. --- Most of you know me if you been in the chat but for those who don't I'm Emily (Dark Emily, Snowfire are my other names that I've been called.) I've been through a lot in life but I'm more willing to help people with their problems before telling about mine...I'm on Gendou everyday and I'll help out from time to time! -Emily/Snowfire |

The depression thread? Hmm...depression... I could be depressed..he** I don't know so much going on. I feel lost. Things going on with my sister...It has caused my grades to drop..I'm taking myself away from everyone. When I get the chance to I'm in my room, not talkin' with anyone. I won't come out to eat or get something to drink. People around try to help..find someone to care for my sister so I can leave the house. But it does not help. I hate the life I now live.  |

Kei Kun: We all have things that keep us from spending a lot of time here. I mean, look at me. I'm gone for months at a time, but I always find my way back here. Take care of your responsibilities and study first. Get the grades and you will be able to take as much time here as you like later. Gendou.com is not like most other sites, even if you are gone a little while, Gendou.com will still be here and people will be glad to talk to you when you get back.  Good? Bad?

I think I'm not ready to grow up. I just joined a college prep school and experinenced first hand that you're completely cut off from dependence there. I can do the work I'm assigned, and I can stand the long lectures. It's just I didn't expect to be thrown into adulthood so quickly. Students are completely responisble of their own affairs in college. I'm afraid. |

hime197: When I first went away to college I was scared too. One week I was at home playing a Nintendo,(shows how old I am) the next I was working two jobs to cover tuition while going to school full time. My parents trusted me enough to let me try to figure out my life on my own but I had no idea how to live on my own. I was lucky my first year of college because I was exposed to two extremes so I could try to learn by observing how other people were dealing with things. On the one hand I saw people who could not wait to move out of their parents homes and just seemed to glide into adulthood. On the other I saw people who were rightfully frightened because they were still kids who were irresponsible and incapable of handling anything on their own. From what I observed I can only say that it comes down to the decisions we make for ourselves. Unless you belive you are going to make a lot of bad decisions on your own there is no reason to be afraid of growing up. Growing up does not mean giving up who you are or dependency on others. It just means knowing and accepting the fact that there are consequences for our choices. If you still need some support I am sure you have family and friends who are a phone call away who are more than willing to help you adjust. Good? Bad?
