  Yeah depression is a really big problem in America, along with anxiety/panic disorders. A lot of people think they will just "shake" out of it but it's usually not that simple. I do think pills can help, i know it helped me BUT it's not a cure. There...

  Any_one_else_have_anger_problems Comment

  Yeah, due to my upbringing with a violent mother [due to her bipolar illness], it taught me some really bad habits. Like whenever i get REALLY frustrated, i tend to scream, break things, and hit myself. Not so good. I have been trying to just take long...

  Peer_pressure Comment

  I never was peer pressured into doing drugs or drinking. I was just really curious and wanted to do it and experiment. I have tried almost every drug out there, which isn't something to be proud of ha. Pot was always my biggest problem. Which it isn't...

  Abusive_Parent Comment

  Yeah, it's really sad how parents would abuse their own children :( My mom is manic depressive [bipolar] and at one point she was SO out of control for a couple years. During that time she would flip out at times and hit my sister and I. Or scream at us...

  I feel so bad for my mother who had to raise me during my teenage years. I constantly ran away from home. I also did drugs, various drugs. I was lucky to never get addicted to any of them though *phew*. I was such a stubborn and idealistic teen! I...

  Art_Therapy Comment

  Great information. I used to ponder a lot on becoming an art therapist and working with troubled children. I think it would be really rewarding. I'm going back to University soon and trying to decide on my major. Maybe I'll look into...

  Jules, WAY TO GO for your husband :) It's wonderful when people manage to kick the habit and mantain it for that long :)

  Great_way_to_relieve_stress Comment

  Sounds nice! You may want to try yoga too, it has a lot to do with breathing exercises as well, which is why a lot people feel so relaxed afterwards. I used to do yoga for a few years but stopped. I've been thinking about getting back into...

  That's tough Jules. I have a friend who is basically the father in your post. He has a daughter that he only gets to see every second weekend according to the agreement he signed. He has been unhappy in the state he is and wants to move and experience...

  Pain_pills Comment

  I have a friend who abuses all sorts of pills, i would advise you to not take him back... Because you never know if he goes back down that road and many users do from what I have seen. But it is impressive that he quit cold turkey though. How long was he...
