Totally. My friend Tariq, when he sees me otuside the counsellor's office or when I talked about losing my friend, he's always like "why do you need a counsellor?". "If my friend dogged me, I wouldn't care" and I'm like to him "you have no fucking clue man aha."

The thing is, Depression is something most people don't know. Looking at my recent blog post, "You Never Know Everything."

Eh, same here! Half my music is from there LOL. Including this awesome song by my favorite band: When the Lights Die by Boyce Avenue . I was going link it but I remember you told me it's blocked LOL.

Aha, I have heard it before though, your friend Erin uses that too hahaha.

Six AM! I hate it when you wake up naturally at a ridiculous time. I used to wake up naturally at four. My body hates me aha. I can't wake up that time either. No one is on FB, the school opens at seven and my mum would be like "WTF, what are you doing awake?" LOL, so there is nothing to do but just lie there aha.

Mother's Day was on Sunday, how'd you enjoy it? Do anything special for her. I made my mum eggs and had Ferrere Rochers (?) with her at night .

H.

See, the thing is, i know what it's like to be there (depression, self harm etc.) and I know everything people said to me just annoyed me. When your at that point you don't want to hear that it will get better and your life will shape up...
Ye, that's what I meant
I'm not sure if you can or not. I just use Youtube to Mp3
I woke up at six...I'm so rooted, I just wanna go back to bed...
Haha, it's really cute
You stole my sign off!!!! I say ttfn!!!!!
Haha, why sank you, the frog does look pretty snazzy

Love the new avatar

Yeah, it does feel like you're making things worse because you don't know how it feels to be in that position (to be depressed and stuff like that). But the big thing is to acknowledge how they feel and how bad this is for them. The worst thing you can say is "it's not that bad" when you're talking to someone like that.

"What about you?" You mean, what are the most out of my comfort zone topics?

For me, I have done Women's Health and Child Behavior and let me tell you something, those are not the kinds of questions I usually get. I find myself a litte bit lost so I don't know if what I'm saying even helps these people.

I usually tend to stick with the same topics. Training and Exercise, a bit of Relationships and Dating (especially breakups) and Depression (so long as they are not too triggering.) Those are my strong points, definitely.

You're not allowed to recommend another site on here, hey? If yes, I came across an amazing new music sharing site over the weekend, loving it right now. If no, , I'll give you the name if I'm allowed to. Awesome site, beautiful tracks.

Haha, I just woke up, I needed that LOL. BIG DAY. big day.

I have two free sessions today! Yay.

TTFN, Ellie, I'm going to sign off with this thing called a lock dance. I have no idea what it is or what it means but it looks really cool haha.

Oh really? I feel all acomplished and important Haha, I'm glad you fit in so well, I was so awkward on here until I decided I wanted to join the staff
Even though I do have a lot of experience on the topic I don't like the self-harm forum. i just feel like I'm going to make things worse. What about you?
Haha, yeah sure I do
You too Hamed, sweet dreams

Hahaha, soz LOL. Hey, you're my fiftieth visitor's message! I can't think of a better person to hear from for the fiftieth time . I'm really starting to settle in at TH now. Exactly one month since I joined. Milestones flying everywhere LOL.

Yeah, those are really high demand topics, you get a lot of threads and responses from Sex and Puberty and Relationships and Dating, definitely. What is the most "out of your comfort zone" topic you have ever written a response about?

Mine is Women's Health when I was on MH. A young woman was asking about why her "Upper Chest" wouldn't grow and I am just stunned thinking "what the flip?" LOL.

You definitely deserve compliments. I tell my friends when they have birthdays and stuff "you deserve nothing but awesomeness and better" and that is definitely the case with you .

Much love, have a good night, Ellie . I'm half asleep writing this LOL. Peace out, Hamed Khatiz <3.

Haha, well enjoy that. I love venting. I always feel so much better
Oh theres a connection Haha, just kidding. I know him pretty well, three hours a day in bus travel together
Oh, well I'm glad I don't do it then
I don't know it could stem from low self-esteem or simply tact, I know I get all shy and skeptical when I et complimented...which is rarely
I mostly stick to sex and puberty and relationships and dating, although I do venture out
Yeah, I love music, best topic EVER!!
I don't know, quite frankly I'm offended

Oh, and why have I not sent you a friend request this far into knowing you aha? Friend request = sent .

Haha, thanks for excusing that LOL. The best place the vent would be the counsellor's office, tomorrow fourth session please.

Hahaha, "I actually kind of like Maths... more like I kind of like the guy I sit next to." LOL.

There is not always a connection, though. I had a major crush on the girl I sit next to in English and I hate that subject. She's still a friend and English is still ugh LOL.

Extension is a lot to take in, the major essay that the guys in my class have to do for the HSC is killing them right now. That major essay is pretty much their focal assessment right now, so rally tough stuff.

Yeah, sometimes it really is. How come, what do you reckon? I am getting way less nervous around girls and I don't really think about how they are nervous and unconfident around me maybe.

Eh! You're a HelpLink Mentor! I got into HL yesterday and am loving the idea. What are some of your topics that you advise on? Is there a favorite topic or a topic which you just cannot talk about? Grabbing from that vent, when I answer questions on the forums, I find it really hard to talk about Self Harm and Suicide cause you're kind of stunned and don't know what to say.

I love talking about exercise and training. Oh and music of course (there is a Music Forum here, best one) haha.

Haha, you're welcome
I know right!!! Except instead of doing maths I'd be jumping on te desk singing my favourite AC/DC song
I actually kinda like maths... more like, I kinda like the guy I sit next to
Uhm...definitly Ancient, not only does my maths sitting next to guy sit next to mean, but it's so much more interesting
Haha, NO WAY! I like history, but that's just too much
I think I do, not sure...
Hmm, good venting there....
Sometimes it's just hard for people- espesially girls to accept compliments
I found them!!!!
