Anybody know a way I can deal with it? (Without going to some goodie-two-dick old ass therapist)
QuoteAnybody know a way I can deal with it? (Without going to some goodie-two-dick old ass therapist)Ehh you see, that would have been my suggestion <.<If you are being haunted by a past trauma which is then causing thoughts of suicide, a therapist is probably the best bet. When you say druggie child, what do you mean by that? >.>

Therapy is nothing but talk. I almost died via overdose twice by the time I was 17. I stopped because I didn't like the feel of dying.

I stopped because I didn't like the feel of dying.That would generally be what therapy is, but if it didn't work out for you then yeah it's probably not worth continuing to go down the same road. It is a bit problematic though, seeing as this sort of thing is hard to treat with anything other than talking therapies. Medication is the alternative, but it's likely to be unnecessary if there isn't a biological root to the problem <.<I see, well it's good that you stopped for somewhat obvious reasons. The dreams, how frequently do they happen? <.<

I could be dreaming about my girlfriend and I one day then have the grandma dream the next two days.When I have them and wake up at a certain time they only get worse. If I try going to sleep again I hear anything from whispering to screaming.

(that didn't work for you >.>)I remember having them when I was a senior but never having them again until last week.They suggested that I keep taking my medication and be around my friends. The problem is the medication just makes me tired and my friends are all on the Internet.
Trauma will never disappear, it has to be worked through or moved past. It seems like the former is unavailable to you, so just keep moving. Increasing your self-esteem is the single best way to get past depression. It sounds cliche, but it definitely worked for me. Join a gym, go out and make some real friends. Get through high school, get a job, go to college...keep yourself busy, and eventually you'll change without even knowing it.
I don't really think these types of threads belong on the Serious board.
